Chapter 67: Mutation - C25
More and more lights gathered here, and the hall was as bright as day.
The cat next door must have jumped outside, and the driver's surprised roar almost broke through the sky.
"What the hell is this? Kill it!"
"Seedling--!"
It is such a shrill cry.
Anjiu carefully stuck his head out. From this angle in the bathroom, he couldn't see the glass windows of the hall, but he could see the entire bedroom at a glance - the anti-theft windows were installed, and there were broken glass all over the floor, but there was no one outside. It seemed that everyone had gathered next door.
The timing is just right! The more information you have, the more confident you will be when you escape!
Anjiu walked out of the bathroom quietly, sticking close to the shadow area, and quickly got behind the curtains. He gently opened the tiny gap and looked out.
Almost all the clones gathered here and surrounded the window next door.
They stacked on top of each other until they were at the same height as the second floor, and like they were wearing expressionless masks, they repeatedly struck the outermost burglar-proof windows with the maces in their hands.
Anjiu looked for the cat's trace.
The exhausted driver was the first to appear in the field of vision. He kept looking back with a look of fear in his eyes. The horn in his hand was his weapon, constantly driving away the "cat" that always wanted to pounce on him.
He escaped from the bushes first, and then a black shadow as big as a half-grown child jumped out.
When the headlights of the car illuminated her, her appearance became clear immediately.
It looks like a cat but is not a cat. It has a human head, cat ears, cat eyes and a three-lobed mouth, but a human body, only half of it. The skin is dark in color, as if it has ringworm, with clumps of it here and there, and it looks rotten, with sparse long hair growing on the edges.
It makes people feel both disgusted and frightened.
It has only two elbows with long nails on the ends, and it runs very fast.
Every time the driver looked back, he would be frightened by the pair of white eyes that belonged to humans.
"Quick! Catch it! Chop it into pulp!"
The replica following closely behind stretched out its arms, trying to grab the slippery tail that was pulled out, like a piece of intestine.
At this moment, the driver was tripped by a protruding brick. He looked back in panic and saw the "cat" leaping up from the ground and rushing towards him with bared teeth.
He had just uttered a syllable when something warm suddenly covered his face, his vision suddenly turned black, and then a strong, disgusting fishy smell went straight into his nose.
At the same time, something sharp suddenly pressed down on his eyes, causing pain in his eyeballs!
An Jiu, hiding behind the curtain, watched as the driver's face was tightly grasped by the 'cat', which refused to let go no matter how hard it was pulled or hit. More and more blood flowed from his eyes.
The clones' hands almost tore the cat's entire body apart, dismantling its bones...
On the head of the last "cat" that was pulled down, a bloody eyeball was stuck in the long canine teeth...
The driver fell to the ground, covering one eye and rolling around in pain.
"Kill her! Kill that bitch!" He pointed his hand at Anjiu - the neighbor next door.
At the command, all the clones went crazy. Even those following the driver rushed over, stepped on their companions' bodies, and tried to pry open the security windows with their hands with expressionless faces.
Even in the corridor outside the door, there were noisy footsteps.
Crowded in the corridor, mechanically banging on the door next door.
All.
All.
The sound was so loud that it seemed to be knocking on Anjiu's door.
So many people poured in that the door on Anjiu's side began to creak.
It is difficult to break down a door that can only be opened outwards by violence.
The anti-theft windows cannot be pulled open so easily. Even the neighbors can stand at home and use their long tools to poke the windows through the air.
It's unknown how long it will take for the driver, whose brain has short-circuited due to the severe pain, to react - he should go find tools instead of letting the clones dismantle it with their bare hands.
Anjiu glanced around casually, then suddenly stopped.
A figure was clinging to the building, sneaking towards the driver.
When she reached a place with light, her entire body was exposed - she was a young woman with long hair tied behind her head. When she hid in the shadows, it was impossible to tell whether she was a man or a woman.
She suddenly sped up and rushed towards the unsuspecting driver, holding a sharp stone in her right hand hidden behind her back and smashing it at the back of his head, which was the most vulnerable part.
When the driver finally noticed the sound of the wind behind his head, it was too late.
He died without ever seeing what his killer looked like.
"Success!" The young woman raised her hands high, then held her head and shouted excitedly, "So many people have become mine!"
She looked feverishly at the clones gathered at the base of the window.
At the moment of the main body's death, all the copies stopped moving, like the dense drum beats suddenly stopped, the residual sound still lingered in the cochlea, but the reality was that all the sounds disappeared in an instant.
“…Huh? What’s going on? Why, why is everything…”
The young woman covered her mouth and took a step back, looking terrified.
She suddenly shuddered, shook her head quickly to look at the dark surroundings, then turned around and ran back.
But after taking a few steps, she came back, grabbed the driver's arms, leaned her body backward, and pulled him back with all her strength.
Apart from the bloodstains all over the scene illuminated by car lights, the entire community fell into silence again.
Even outside the door, which had been crowded just now, was quiet as if nothing had happened.
Anjiu half-knelt down, sticking to the wall, stepping on the shattered glass fragments. Except for the extremely faint creaking sound, she tried to walk to the curtain opposite as silently as possible.
She looked through the gap in the curtains to the next room. Although she couldn't see the window, there were a lot of clones gathered outside. So, she wanted to see what would happen to the clones if the original body died.
What about the replicas?
Wasn’t there a lot just now?
All gone.
No, that's not right.
Anjiu opened the gap in the curtain wider and looked carefully at the place where the clones had just stood. On the blue-gray cement floor, a pool of black water gradually spread out in all directions.
Could it be that after losing its main body, the replica will...melt at the fastest speed?
It seems to be consistent with the characteristics of unidentified matter.
Anjiu returned to the bathroom. Number Two, with her eyes covered, sat quietly in the corner. Without any external noise affecting her, she remained motionless like a lifelike wax figure.
If she died, No. 2 would also turn into a pool of dirty water. It is incredible to think that the skin that feels just like a real person would melt in such a short period of time.
The invisible barriers in his mind were broken again. Anjiu gradually abandoned his past cognition and tried to become a blank sheet of paper to make his ability to accept stronger - the world is multidimensional, and no matter what happens, it is normal.
But everything turned out to be in her favor.
