"Physical training teacher." The giant lizard muttered, "Is there such a position?"
"Go back to your area." It turned around impatiently, but as soon as it took half a step, a gust of wind suddenly blew from behind the team. It paused and sniffed.
That was an action that An Yu was very familiar with.
The giant mantis on the shuttle behaved similarly to the old people in Area 53.
Greedy.
The monitor lizard turned its head sharply, "You seem to be a different human being."
The paint-like bright red eyeballs rotated rapidly. It quickly glanced at Slade and others, and finally looked at Qin Zhilu.
Qin Zhilu's eyes still rested on Jiang Xiao's back, not looking at him.
The giant lizard hesitated for a while, pointed at An Yu with its webbed claws, and said to Qin Zhilu: "This human being is under my control."
Qin Zhilu's gaze paused.
He finally raised his eyes and looked over. After a moment, he slowly tightened his gloves.
"Um?"
After a few seconds.
Dozens of pitch-black octopus tentacles retracted gracefully from a distance. Qin Zhilu took out a handkerchief from his windbreaker pocket, held the stained ones in his hand, and wiped them carefully.
There was a pool of ugly body parts on the ground, soaked in almost transparent viscous bodily fluids.
The fishy stench was carried in all directions by the wind and lingered for a long time. All the human children hid in the physical examination room, holding the door open to reveal a pair of frightened eyes, staring at Qin Zhilu and the ground that had no human form... no, there was no shape of anything.
"The deformities on this level are relatively normal." Qin Zhilu glanced at An Yu, "You are indeed very popular."
An Yu said "Huh".
He vaguely felt that the officer was not in a good mood, so he cautiously did not reply and walked towards the medical examination room.
The physical examination inside has been interrupted.
A row of naked children were standing in front of the scanning mirror, staring numbly at themselves in the mirror.
The moment An Yu stepped in, they all looked at him. Caught off guard, he looked into the empty eyes in the mirror.
In an instant, all kinds of chaotic sounds exploded in his mind.
"No distortion, next one!"
"..."
"You're not deformed yet."
"Hmm...how long has it been, and I haven't heard of anyone detecting aberrations. Do we...really have hope?"
"I can only pray. I really don't want to be controlled like this anymore."
…
"Where did the sound of the mirror cracking come from? Did someone die again?"
"The one who gets punished is the one who allowed him to talk about the supervisor behind his back."
"The supervisors are all advanced creatures, do they still care what we low-level things think of them?"
"It doesn't matter who it is, some of them still care about it."
"Fortunately, our supervisor doesn't like to hit people."
"Yes, it doesn't look down on humans, but it doesn't make things difficult for us. I'm really grateful to be on its side."
"Yes, thank you..."
…
"Hey, have you heard? The girl with the birthmark on her face died in the middle of the night yesterday."
"I don't know where she heard that being pierced in the heart by the supervisor can cause distortion. She went to beg them."
"It turns out that method doesn't work!"
"Of course it won't work. Another theory I heard is that you have to eat the supervisor to become as deformed as they are."
…
"Brother, how long has it been snowing?"
"The day we stopped growing, it never stopped."
"Actually, we can't even get out. What do you think the outside world is like now?"
"The supervisors outside may be more cruel. I actually don't want to go out anymore."
"Me too, it's good now."
"Those people are still trying all kinds of ways to deform themselves. When will they realize that we will never be able to deform..."
…
All kinds of strange and abnormal screams were intertwined with those conversations, resounding every night for the past ten years.
Some children witnessed these "supervisory adults" grabbing humans from their sleeping nests in the middle of the night and eating them, but they walked away indifferently. There are also children who take the initiative to serve as their monitors among humans and secretly report to them.
There are even children who kill each other, kill their human companions, and eat human flesh and bones in an attempt to initiate distortion.
…
Countless heavy and broken memories washed through An Yu's mind.
However, he did not see any time in his memory that human beings still retained their dignity.
When An Yu suddenly broke away from his memory, the room was already empty.
He stood alone in front of the huge mirror. In the mirror were the backs of children - those children ran out before they had time to put on their clothes and were lying on the ground licking the broken corpses.
An Yu was stunned when his wrist was pinched by a hand.
"Don't dwell on other people's past. Mercy should be reserved for those who are worthy of saving."
Qin Zhilu stood beside him at some point, and looked with him at the child lying on the ground outside, licking the deformed corpse.
There was only scrutiny in the black eyes, without any unnecessary emotion. "No need to show mercy. Once time returns, they will become deformed."
An Yu was silent for a while and then whispered: "Sir, I'm sorry... I don't seem to be able to fully control memory recall as you said."
Qin Zhilu said in a determined tone, "In that case, close your eyes first. Too much information will only interfere with your judgment."
As he spoke, he took off the bandage from An Yu's wrist, stood behind him, and covered his eyes in circles.
The light and figures outside shone dimly in the field of vision through the bandages.
Perhaps because his vision was blocked, his other senses were heightened - there was a cold sensation on his wrist when the bandage was suddenly removed. Just as An Yu was about to touch, his wrist was grabbed again.
"Sir?"
Qin Zhilu said quietly: "I will lead you for the time being."
Chapter 41 Orphanage with High Risk of Deformation·41
"Never refuse the inexplicable kindness of a big shot, otherwise you may not get any good results."
At that time, Xiao Anyu, who was only eight years old, had just woken up from a deep sleep. Although he had been in Area 53 for almost a year, he and Ling Qiu had not seen each other a few times due to sleepiness, so he was a little concerned about the man in front of him with a bruised nose and a swollen face. strangeness.
Ling Qiu tore up a piece of waste newspaper, stuffed it into his nostrils to stop the bleeding, and muttered, "I just said no, and besides, these breads are all hairy."
Xiao Anyu finally recognized who he was. He was silent for a moment and looked at the pumpernickel bread thrown on the bed.
"You don't want it?" he asked quietly.
"My hair has grown, how can I still... Oh you!"
An Yu had quickly rubbed the green hair off the bread with his palms and bit into his mouth.
The dry and hard bread pricked the corners of his mouth, and the aroma of flour mixed with the smell of blood spread. He stretched his neck and swallowed hard.
Ling Qiu looked at him with a complicated expression, her eyes gradually softened.
"Stop eating." He grabbed An Yu's wrist, "Like a little wolf."
The eight-year-old child's wrist was so thin that it couldn't be held in one hand. He weighed the thin wrist and said helplessly: "I left some bread for you, wait for me."
…
"The wrist is too thin."
Qin Zhilu's slightly disgusted voice interrupted An Yu's memories.
An Yu couldn't see the officer's expression clearly through the bandage, and could only stare blankly in that direction.
Qin Zhilu continued: "After practicing for so long, my body still hasn't improved at all. It seems that your physical training teacher is very incompetent. Go back and find a new one."
Jiang Xiao immediately defended: "An Yu's training volume is not small, but he..."
"It's just that he needs a real teacher, not an admirer." Qin Zhilu interrupted him and squeezed An Yu's wrist, "I told Xide and let him lead you in training. Although the deformation has become Bird, but Xide has always been passionate about exercising human muscles."
An Yu didn't dare to refuse the officer's kindness, so he nodded and said "Yes".
Qin Zhilu took the documents in the medical examination room, held his wrist and walked out.
In fact, the bandage did not completely block the light. An Yu could roughly see the road and obstacles clearly, but thinking of Ling Qiu's reminder back then, he silently accepted this inexplicable act of kindness from a superior.
Jiang Xiao followed behind and persuaded him without giving up: "Your attack skills need to be passively triggered. The space system ability and the time system ability that just showed signs are more in line with the positioning of a control system auxiliary. You don't need to be like Xi. Toku-sama exercises big muscles like that..."
"You are indeed not suitable to be his teacher." Qin Zhilu interrupted him again, "The position of the corner is not to assist."
Jiang Xiao was stunned for a moment, "That is?"
An Yu couldn't help but be curious, "Do you have a clear positioning of my abilities?"
After he asked, he felt a little regretful, because he remembered that he had asked Ling Qiu similar questions many times when he was a child. Sometimes Ling Qiu said he was a white-eyed wolf, and sometimes he said he was a waste.
He had a hunch that the commander would probably give a similar answer.
But Qin Zhilu did not answer directly. He just glanced at Jiang Xiao and said casually: "You think he is positioned as a support, but it is just because he has never learned how to use his abilities correctly."
