Chapter 162: Two Extras

Extra 1 (Requested by a friend): Lu Yanli’s Day of Being Small

Something was very wrong.

Lu Yanli opened his eyes and calmly considered the situation.

Having finally arrived in a peaceful world, and after several years of tranquil life, nothing could easily stir his emotions.

Except for this time.

Of course, one wouldn’t wear shoes to sleep, so the slippers in front of the bed hadn’t shrunk like his clothes. He had no choice but to run barefoot towards the window. Fortunately, his stamina was still there, and he quickly reached the window. Using the desk and chairs, he nimbly jumped onto the windowsill, pulled open a corner of the curtain, and looked outside.

*It seems that only I have changed.*

The ringtone of the mobile phone on the nightstand rang, Lu Yanli was a little surprised, because he had lived alone for a long time, rarely interacting with people, and there were very few who had his contact information, he did not know who was calling.

The person calling was very patient and had not hung up. But Lu Yanli was in trouble again – fingerprint unlocking could not be used.

He had to use the password, jumping on the screen to unlock it. Then, he stretched out his arm and swiped, finally answering the phone. Only when he answered did he suddenly remember that he hadn’t even looked at who was calling.

A strange female voice came from the other end. He was sure he hadn’t heard it before and didn’t know the person, but he felt that the voice was very familiar.

So… it really was her doing it?

How did she do it?

Lu Yanli looked at his hands and feet again, which had shrunk several times, and frowned. He didn’t like this feeling of being out of control. He wanted to call back, but there was nothing in the call history.

Lu Yanli ignored the strange woman’s address. He had a feeling that he would indeed be back to normal tomorrow, so he didn’t care too much.

But today… what should he do?

After arriving in the new world, no longer needing to worry about life, he quickly adapted to the new life and became a painter. Just yesterday, he was still painting, and today he was about to start coloring.

In this state, even holding a paintbrush would be inconvenient.

Thinking like this, Lu Yanli decided to go to the studio to take a look.

To prevent the mysterious woman from calling again and him missing the call, he had to take the phone with him.

He first used his strength to push the phone from the nightstand onto the bed. The phone rolled twice on the pillow and bounced on the bed. Then, he jumped over.

But at this moment, he heard a strange sound, coming from the living room.

Someone was prying the door!

In an instant, alarm bells rang. He pushed the phone under the pillow, slid down along the edge of the bed, and ran out when he jumped to the ground.

But his room door was locked, he couldn’t get out.

Lu Yanli looked up at the doorknob, which used to reach his waist but now he couldn’t climb up to, and then listened to the approaching light footsteps, and quickly drilled into the closet, climbed into the pocket of a coat, and looked out vigilantly.

Fortunately, it wasn’t a ghost, nor some strange creature, just a thief. The thief quietly pushed the door open and came in, found that the quilt on the bed was still bulging with a human-shaped nest, but the owner was gone, the hand holding the knife was still a little dazed.

Daring to come to steal, he was naturally prepared. He knew that this household only had one person living in it, and that man looked sickly and easy to deal with, so he didn’t bring a knife. He took advantage of the point in the early morning when ordinary people were still sleeping, and went to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife, and then went to the bedroom.

But… where’s the person?

He clearly didn’t see him go out.

He searched the places under the bed, in the closet, and other places where people could hide, but didn’t see a person. The other person’s phone was under the pillow. The thief stuffed it into his pocket and rummaged through the boxes, preparing to find valuables.

While he was rummaging, Lu Yanli had already slipped out of the closet and ran to the studio.

He didn’t plan to call the police. In his current state, it would be difficult to explain to the police. Therefore, he only planned to leave the thief here and deal with him after he recovered.

In the studio, Lu Yanli raised a snake.

Venomous, but not very poisonous.

After running a short distance, he jumped – he successfully jumped onto the desk, flipped over dozens of paintbrushes, and came to the edge of the pet rack.

It was good that it was asleep. Lu Yanli jumped to the vent on top, forcefully pried open the lock, and then worked hard to prop up the vent along the edge and pushed it backward.

With a click, the vent was pushed open, and the snake was also awakened, opening its round little eyes.

Lu Yanli didn’t care so much, jumped back to the table, hugged the table leg and slid down, and tore off a bit of napkin to cover his mouth and nose, and ran back to the camphor ball.

He knew the nature of this snake very well. Once the cage was opened, it would automatically climb to the bedroom.

Sure enough…

Its tail wagged happily, it really went to the room.

He put a few injections of anesthetic and a toy gun for children in it.

The combination of these two inconspicuous things was a killing weapon.

Lu Yanli took out two needles that were a little too big for his current self, carried them on his shoulders, and climbed out, climbing onto the table with incredible difficulty. Even with his physical strength, he was a little tired.

Soon, he heard a scream.

Looks like he was bitten.

He sat on top of the high painting cabinet, installed the needles into it, and waited quietly.

Speaking of which, he hadn’t encountered such a desperate fellow in a long time. The other party should be glad that it was now a society ruled by law.

Hurried footsteps approached, the snake desperately fled to the room, leading the thief over.

The door opened with a bang, and the next second, a very slight gunshot, a flash of silver light, pierced into the person’s shoulder.

He returned the way he came, back to the room. The room door was wide open and a little messy. Lu Yanli pushed over a stool, and the force of the fall hit the door, closing it and locking the two threats outside the door.

With everything completed, Lu Yanli crawled back into the closet.

He’ll wait until tomorrow.

He was a little tired.

(Two) Lu Ge’s True Form

In the very beginning, they were just groups of unknown objects occupying the laboratory warehouse.

But away from the mother’s body, the birth of new life is so difficult.

Scientists can make flesh similar to living things, they can create blood vessels, meridians, and organs under the skin, but no matter how fine, they cannot give them a soul.

Until that day…

The little baby came to life.

It opened its black eyes and looked at the others across the glass without blinking. Those eyes were full of human wisdom.

“Incredible… really, it succeeded?”

They finally realized that they seemed to have opened Pandora’s box and released a… monster.

That monster was laughing, the crisp laughter of a baby echoed in the laboratory.

The leader of the team gritted his teeth and, thinking of the unknown future, decided to kill this unknown creature.

But they failed.

No matter what method they used, they could not kill this strange life. Even if they used explosives to bomb it, after the violent explosion, the child was still sitting in the ruins, looking at them with its black eyes, looking like an ordinary child, fair and well-behaved.

Yes, it was growing at a rate visible to the naked eye. In just three days, it had grown to the size of an ordinary child of about two years old. It could speak, it could walk, even if it was locked in the most tightly sealed secret room, it could break through the walls and walk to you, looking at you with its eyes.

An out-and-out monster.

“What are you doing?” A little boy pushed the door open and poked his head in, “I can’t find you.”

Even though they knew it was not an ordinary child at all, and might bring a catastrophe to mankind, the female researcher couldn’t help but soften her heart looking at its seemingly pitiful eyes. She reached out and touched the top of the little boy’s head: “Wait until we’re done with our work, then we’ll stay with you, okay?”

The little boy looked at her for a long time, opened his arms and hugged her waist, and listened to the surface of the female researcher’s belly: “Okay.”

It heard another voice in the female researcher’s belly.

He and the female researcher, Lu Xuerou, were husband and wife, newly married.

“I think it doesn’t seem to have any malice, and it wasn’t created out of thin air, it was created by us, understand? At least for now, it’s not wrong,” Lu Xuerou said.

“Whether it has malice or whether it’s wrong, we can’t let it go.”

“It has already developed intelligence, and its IQ is very high. We must hide the destruction plan, otherwise…”

Otherwise, if it knew, it might cause some disaster.

The team leader’s eyes swept over the team members one by one, and finally stopped on Lu Xuerou.

Lu Xuerou’s love for that thing was not pretended.

On the way back to the residence, An Ru sighed deeply.

Lu Xuerou was holding the little boy’s hand and walking in front, saying something to each other, the two looked like a mother and son.

It was because of this that he was worried.

Later, they were no longer worried.

Because everyone forgot about this, they really thought that this teenager was the child of An Ru and Lu Xuerou. What strange monster, what creation of life, no one remembered.

The researchers at the institute stopped the research project of creating new life and began to worry about how to deal with the strange things from other worlds that were introduced.

Everyone liked it very much. Although it had no name and no one could remember its appearance, no one doubted it, and no one thought there was anything wrong with it.

It frowned: “They keep calling me, it’s annoying.”

This was the first time it showed human emotions.

When speaking, its eyes were fierce and indifferent, not like a human’s, like a beast that chooses to devour people. But Lu Xuerou didn’t notice anything wrong and softly said: “I’ll go with you, we’ll be back soon.”

Lu Xuerou watched as it passed through layers of blockades and entered one of the rooms. She didn’t know why she could see it, but she just saw it.

It stretched out its hand, pierced through the hard skin of the pile of deformed meat, and seemed to grab the other party’s vitals. It used force on its hand, and the flesh, which was struggling violently and screaming, let out a final scream and then stopped moving.

“Are you hungry? Are you not full?” Lu Xuerou asked carefully.

“It’s okay to eat when you’re hungry, but you have to be polite. You have to knock on the door before entering. You can’t just go in,” Lu Xuerou wiped its hands clean and taught it gently.

It tilted its head and thought for a while: “Okay.”

Knocking on the door is something that humans need to learn to be polite.

Until one day, Lu Xuerou went down with it as usual and suddenly heard another voice speaking to it.

“You’re deceiving them, they’ll find out.”

Who is it? Who is talking to it?

“So what?”

There was a thing with no fixed shape locked there, like a cloud of red mist, floating around.

“They are humans, you are not. After they know, they will definitely want you to die.”

The young man swallowed the last finger. There was still no expression on its face. It wiped the turbid blood from the corners of its lips and smiled: “They won’t know.”

“No, they will know.”

What? What is not human?

Lu Xuerou suddenly felt panicked. She stood there at a loss, raising her hand to cover her forehead.

She seemed to have forgotten something.

What did she forget?

Creak, creak…

This thing… was too terrifying, it had to be eliminated as soon as possible.

But it was useless. After the gunshots, it was unscathed and still walked steadily inside, all the way to the innermost room, its dark eyes looking directly at the shapeless red mist.

It didn’t do anything, but the cloud of mist suddenly seemed to be pinched by an invisible hand and couldn’t move.

“Monster… monster…” Lu Xuerou shivered, she was still bleeding. The great shock she had suffered for a moment made her emotionally unstable, “Kill it! This monster!”

Its chewing speed slowed down a little, and its dark eyes were a little red, which was the undigested residue.

Of course, it saw the future. This world will eventually be destroyed. Not only this world, but other worlds as well. Disasters occur frequently, humans are extinct, and strange things invade and devour each other, over and over again.

No matter how it calculates, it is impossible for it to keep itself alive.

Even if everything is chosen according to the optimal solution, swallowing the red mist in front of it and then ruling this world, one day, strange things from other worlds will invade, and it will die completely in a certain battle.

Going to other worlds is not an option either. These things of its kind will definitely follow its tracks. In the end, it will always avoid death.

It stopped moving and turned its head again to look at the group of people behind it.

The unconscious guards and investigators woke up instantly, not curious as to why they had arrived at the bottommost level, and took Lu Xuerou, who was still bleeding and unconscious, back to the upper level. They ignored the thing at the end of the corridor, only feeling as if they had had a dream.

All the contained objects at the bottommost level became quiet. It could feel the eyes of those things, both longing and fearful, focused on it.

It needs to shed all non-human traits, let itself have a human body, and in many years, it can reach the new world through the space-time machine developed by the research institute staff.

It doesn’t matter even if it loses its abilities. These things will be controlled by it to a certain extent after eating it, and it will leave a part of its body to control the members of the research institute. This is the only way it can survive through calculation.

“Eat me, just leave the brain, and then go back,” it issued the order again.

All the doors were opened at the same time. The next moment, roars, roars, and tearing sounds filled the entire underground warehouse.

When all the parts except the brain were eaten, those things honestly returned to the rooms. The ground was clean, and not a drop of blood was wasted on the ground. The doors were closed as if nothing had happened.

Except for that cloud of red mist. The red mist condensed into a phantom and escaped from the underground warehouse.

Half of the brain was removed, and the other half was installed with a mechanical brain for data processing.

The half that was removed followed the red mist, which had been transformed into a phantom, and went to another world through the vortex that appeared in the sea.

The author has something to say: The first one is a request from a friend. She put a knife to my neck and forced me to write it. If there’s any OOC, blame her! I’m innocent!
