The shouts were muffled in his throat.

He caught a glimpse of the shadows left by the mountain peaks, spreading tentacles winding like a river. The river flowed slowly in his direction, all the way to his feet, and climbed up his trouser legs**.

Countless shunts gently covered him, and the pliable and strong river water pressed into his texture, oozing out patches of purple.

"...No," the middle-aged man said in a low voice, sweat oozing from his forehead, "No—"

He struggled desperately, trying to avoid these tentacles, "No..."

He vaguely felt that those eyes were looking at the white coat on him.

"I'm not!"

The man suddenly realized something, and stretched out his hand to take off the clothes on his body. Perhaps because of fear, he was trembling all over, and he used the greatest strength in his hands, "I'm not those researchers! I—"

The sequins flickered, and immediately showed his snow-white fangs at him.

He was suddenly covered by the shadow of the mountain peak.

The middle-aged man did not come back.

There are also some compressed biscuits and drinking water in the dormitory for players to eat. Kou Dong opened a bag and was about to eat when he heard someone knocking on the door.

"Who?"

"I," the person at the door replied, "Song Hong."

Kou Dong opened the door, and sure enough, he saw Song Hong standing outside the door, but his expression was a little grim. The rest of the players also gathered in the corridor, not knowing what they were looking at, and talking in a low voice.

"What's wrong?" Kou Dong asked.

Song Hong shook his head and said concisely, "He never came back."

There are only seven of them, and it can be seen at a glance who is missing. Kou Dong frowned and asked, "Did you go upstairs?"

"No," Song Hong took something out of his pocket and whispered, "We found this."

It was an iron tooth, strung on a chain. Kou Dong has also seen this, in the hands of the middle-aged man.

"Where did you find it?"

"The lab we went to."

Kou Dong was taken aback, "He went back?"

"Yes," Song Hong said, "and the NPCs just now... are gone."

Without these two words, it is more frightening than death. If they die, at least they have a definite ending. When they see the appearance of death, they will know what happened; but they disappear without a trace, leaving only such a chain.

The more unknown, the more terrifying it is. The expressions of the players are not very good, all of them are like enemies.

"I just saw it," Song Hong said. "The food in the room is only enough for us to last for seven days at most. This may be a survival condition."

He took out a piece of paper from his pocket. On the paper was a simple map of the institute. There was only one front door. There was a heavy copper lock on the door, and there was no way to escape.

Kou Dong's brows also furrowed, and he murmured, "This is not easy to handle."

The disappearance of the middle-aged man means that something is moving freely in this institute.

If they can't get out, disappearance will also happen to them one by one.

Song Hong said, "Yes - who knows who will be next?"

Kou Dong thought for a while, then heaved a sigh and answered sincerely, "Me."

After all, I have the full favorability of this group of monsters.

Song Hong was startled: "...?"

He didn't understand a little, how could someone curse him like that?

Kou Dong smiled sadly in his heart, thinking that you guys don't understand the meaning of full favorability at all.

Since he came out of the first copy, he has seen it - the way these NPCs love him is completely loyal to the character setting.

——What happens when a monster loves a person?

It will definitely be eaten.

No matter what Kou Dong thinks, he is the first to take his life.

But the other players obviously didn't think so. There were cowards in the middle, and they actually cried, muffled, saying "no more gambling", and howling to chop off their hands. Kou Dong was puzzled, but Song Hong seemed to be used to it, patted him on the shoulder impatiently, and whispered a few words to him.

The man's mood slowly stabilized, but there were still tears in his eyes.

After this wave, it was almost dark. Not all the lights in the institute were turned on, and most of them were shrouded in darkness. The few opened ones are also dazzling white, with a cold tone.

"We still want to rest first," Song Hong said to several players. "It's best not to come out at night - no one knows what will happen if you can't see it."

This makes sense, the players all nodded and went back to lock the door.

Kou Dong also returned to the dormitory, but did not plan to stay there. When he was just flipping the biscuits, he found a flashlight under the cookie bag, but the power was limited.

The flashlight is turned on, and the illuminated area is not large, but it is a hazy light, which can be clearly seen.

It was enough for Kou Dong. If it is too bright, I am afraid that something will be disturbed, but it will cause trouble.

Holding the flashlight, he touched the access card in his pocket again. After confirming that it was installed, he quietly opened the door of the dormitory.

The game system is somewhat impressive, [Players don't seem to be afraid. 】

On such a night, Kou Dong was the only one who went out.

"Nonsense," Kou Dong retorted, "I'm just afraid of dying, okay?"

System: [Didn't the player choose to go out on their own? 】

It doesn't give a choice.

Kou Dong said: "Yeah, I don't expect them to be gentle with me because of such a high degree of favorability."

system:【……】

Kou Dong sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"What else can I do?" he said desperately. "It's better if I go to find it than they all come to me..."

This is really not his narcissism, mainly because the NPC's love is too crazy.

system:【……】

In the dead of night, only the dial of the instrument shone with stars.

Kou Dong held the access card in his hand, but instead of trying to open the laboratory door, he turned around and went to the gate to check the situation. As Song Hong said, there is a big copper lock hanging there, which tightly locks the restless monsters and all the players inside.

This time, the game system has been mastered, and he didn't say a word. As expected, Kou Dong pulled out the thin wire from somewhere, as if he wanted to pick the lock and run away again.

It's a pity that this time it obviously didn't work last time, and the iron wire was turned in the lock cylinder for a long time and it didn't work. Kou Dong tried again and again, but finally had to give up, regretfully said: "You have become smarter."

system:【……】

Nonsense, is it possible to let you pry it open a second time?

Wouldn't that be disrespectful.

Without the shortcut, Kou Dong had no choice but to withdraw his hands and slowly turned around and walked upstairs.

The beam of light from the flashlight swayed slightly. To avoid being disturbed, he tried to focus the light on the ground. A small spot of light was shining brightly, and with this faint light, the young man searched laboratory by laboratory.

Almost everything in the petri dish is sleeping. Most of the time, Kou Dong could only see a dark shadow—occasionally, among these shadows, ginger or bright green eyes looked at him, with snake-like vertical pupils. They quietly stared at the young human being walking by, and clearly saw the white coat he was wearing, but there was no other reaction.

They stared at the man, slowly turning their heads in the direction he walked, pressing their faces even tighter against the glass eagerly.

Young human beings are searching for things and turn their backs to them. The fabric under the white coat tightly wrapped the legs, the back of the head was fluffy, and there were a few small strands of hair curled up on the back of the neck.

"let me see……"

Kou Dong flipped through something, shook it in his hand, and realized that it was a manual like this notebook. He held a flashlight in one hand, illuminating himself, and slowly turned a page with the other.

"On May 14, we found it in the deep waters near the Devil's Triangle.

It is 2.3 meters long, and its strength is about fifteen adults. We used the weapons on board and the submarine, and it took us three months to finally bring it ashore.

It soon became apparent that it possessed extraordinary mind-controlling abilities. We believe that if we can study and discover this ability, it will bring great convenience to the country and society...

This will be the most astonishing discovery in human history, a gift from the Creator to mankind. "

"On May 26, it became him."

"On June 31st, we found that he could directly talk to any creature in the institute through brain intrusion. In order to prevent unrest, his danger level was raised, and we named him Experimental S.

In order to prevent possible dangerous accidents, the institute is equipped with a destruction program. Once it is found that a dangerous experimental body has escaped from the petri dish, the institute will automatically start the program at the first time, and take the blasting method to prevent the experimental body S from escaping. "

Kou Dong frowned slightly, realizing that the self-destruction program might have gone wrong. Now, there are monsters that have eaten up players and NPCs openly, but the so-called destruction program has not started.

As for why it is not enabled, I am afraid the reason is also on this S.

Kou Dong flipped back and confirmed that there was no other useful information, so he put the book back in its original place.

The subject in the petri dish made a slight noise, and the sign above it said D-06. This also confirmed Kou Dong's conjecture to a certain extent. This letter is related to the danger level of the experimental subject. The more advanced the experimental subject, the higher the authorization level of the access control card required.

How many doors can this card in his hand help him open?

Kou Dong then walked up. He didn't know how much he had seen, but fortunately they were all quiet and no one attacked.

This reassured the young man, he stepped up, and finally opened the door on the top floor with this access card.

There is only one laboratory on this floor.

The first feeling you get when you step in is the height - the ceiling is farther from the floor than usual, making it seem empty. Kou Dong coughed lightly, and he could hear the echo of his own voice in this room.

Then came the dampness.

There was a thin layer of water droplets on the floor, making it very slippery, and the soles of people's shoes even slipped a little while walking on it. The largest petri dish Kou Dong had ever seen stood in the room, soaked in light blue liquid, and it was squeezed to the point of foaming.

Such a height is enough to remind Kou Dong of the sentence written in the book just now.

2.3 meters.

He took a light breath and said, "Experimental Subject S?"

Following his words, the water waves in the petri dish swayed, something slowly swam in it, and the streamlined tail fluttered.

In that water, a pair of scarlet eyes stared at him, as if smiling.

near-point.

The eyes seemed to speak to him.

near-point……

Kou Dong's feet didn't obey his orders, and he stumbled and took a few steps forward. This was his reason and his body wrestling, and in the end this body had the upper hand. He almost watched himself put his face on it, and leaned against the glass with a creepy anticipation.

At the other end of the transparent glass, the experimental subject from the deep sea also approached him lightly. They got close, and Kou Dong gradually saw something, floating and floating in the water.

like dense seaweed.

It was not until the seaweed came to him that Kou Dong realized that it was more like human hair than seaweed. They were rolled up long, and out of them were sturdy and powerful figures that belonged to the physique of an adult male—

That's a mermaid.

Subject S brought his face closer, a strange smile appeared on his pale face, and Kou Dong even tasted the joy from this smile. His fingers were long and thin, with sharp nails and an abnormal bruise.

His face was pressed against the glass, and he made a strange movement, spit out the tip of his tongue against the cold glass surface.

Kou Dong didn't understand it at first, and after a while, his hair stood on end.

This monster is kissing him through this layer of glass...

The author has something to say:

Kou Dong: ...what does it mean to become him? What's the matter, little brother, you want to sleep with me before you even have sex? ?

NPC:  …
