Old Master, have you ever been beaten by a Pokémon?

"Wow~ so amazing!" Gu Minghui couldn't help but clap her hands in exclamation. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on the protective bracelet on Liu Tianci's hand. Her eyes were full of envy, but her cherry lips never uttered a word about wanting to own it.

"Haha, it's just so-so." Liu Tianci responded with a smile, but in fact, he had already noticed the love in Gu Minghui's eyes.

However, he did not point this out directly, because he had previously looked up relevant information on a website and learned that Gu Minghui's birthday would be in a week.

At this time, the coal had been burning red, emitting waves of heat, causing the temperature in the area where the two were suddenly to rise a lot.

Liu Tianci skillfully took out various ingredients and utensils from his backpack and carefully placed them one by one on the iron net;

Gu Minghui, who was standing by, was concentrating on using the brush to evenly apply oil to the food, while also sprinkling some carefully prepared seasoning powder on it.

Before long, the entire rooftop was filled with Gu Minghui's sweet singing voice, which sounded like a yellow oriole singing out of a valley. The melodious melody was accompanied by the breeze, and it seemed to be able to penetrate the depths of people's hearts, making people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves...

At the same time, on the other side of the city, on a quiet and deserted street, the street lamps emitted a faint light.

These bright yellow lights, which were supposed to be warm and bright, somehow shone through the gaps in the curtains and turned into patches of blue-purple light with a slightly gloomy atmosphere.

In this dim room, a tall man was wrapped tightly in thick bedding. His deep eyes wandered back and forth in the dark corner, as if he was trying to find something that could make him feel at ease.

On the shabby, stained table, there were more than a dozen instant noodle buckets neatly stacked, with a pile of opened packaging bags scattered next to them.

The ground was not clean either, with some bread crumbs scattered here and there, as if there had just been a food fight here.

What was even more shocking was that a few daring mice were pacing back and forth beside the bed as if no one was around, and even swaggered around enjoying the leftovers in front of him. They looked so relaxed and contented that they seemed to be living a more comfortable life than their owner...

Just like that, he hid himself deep in this little house that belonged to him, like a frightened ostrich. So far, three full days have passed.

During this period, he lied to his parents and girlfriend that he was on a busy business trip, but in fact, he had already resigned from the company long ago.

Now, he didn't have the courage to step out of the door. In the past, he could rely on the thick scarf and the big mask to barely support himself, so that he would not be easily exposed to the eyes of outsiders.

But now, the strange changes in his body have far exceeded the area of ​​his cheeks and can no longer be concealed by simple covering up.

Not only that, those hazy and terrifying fantasies that originally existed only in the depths of his dreams have recently begun to appear in his mind more and more frequently, like demons that have broken free from their cages.

He often had an illusion that he was in the middle of a turbulent river or a rough sea, his whole body being mercilessly soaked by the icy water. Looking around, he could not see the shadow of the shore at all, only endless darkness shrouded everything.

And in this creepy darkness, there seems to be some mysterious and extremely special existence hidden, staring at him closely through the heavy fog.

At the same time, he could hear strange and eerie voices from time to time, as if they were calls from the depths of hell, constantly bewitching him and luring him step by step towards the unknown abyss of fear...

This feeling is like falling into a bottomless abyss, making people feel deeply desperate, as if the whole world is collapsing at this moment.

"Squeak~" A subtle and harsh sound came, breaking the deathly silence.

I saw a webbed paw slowly stretched out from the messy bedding that exuded a strange smell. The paw was trembling slightly, and it seemed to use all its strength to gently lift a corner of the sheet covering the head.

He looked through the narrow gap and saw a mouse standing on the table not far in front of him with its lower limbs upright and staring at him!

Just one glance made his stomach churn, and the nausea almost burst out of his throat.

However, when he looked down at his current appearance that looked neither human nor ghost, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart: Compared with himself, this mouse is simply extremely cute!

At this moment, an electric current instantly spread throughout his body, causing him to twitch involuntarily. He knew very well what this meant - at this time every day, his body would produce such a strange feeling.

Once this feeling disappears, what awaits him will not be a change in the ordinary sense, but a terrible... mutation!

As time passed, the faint whispers in my ears became louder and louder, as if thousands of flies were buzzing in my ears.

At the same time, the scene in front of his eyes began to switch back and forth between blurry and clear, making him dizzy and unable to tell which one was the real world.

Suddenly, the mouse that was standing by the table turned into a distorted, creepy monster in the blink of an eye! The monster was covered with dozens of wriggling black tentacles, each of which was covered with dense suction cups;

Above its round body, there are a few crooked eyes that are spinning around, revealing a strange light.

"Oh! This is so disgusting!" He could no longer bear the horrific scene before him and let out a shrill scream.

He was furious, his eyes were as big as copper bells, and he let out a deafening roar! This roar seemed to break through the roof and reach the sky. With this roar, he suddenly jumped up from the bed, and his whole body jumped out quickly like a flash of lightning.

He stretched out his extremely sharp claws and pounced on the hateful mouse at lightning speed. In an instant, a strong murderous aura filled the air.

In a flash, his claws hit the mouse accurately. With a dull "puff" sound, the mouse was beaten into a bloody mess before it could even scream. His hands were covered with disgusting blood and pieces of meat.

At this moment, he was shocked to realize that his strength and agility had been greatly improved! This change shocked him and made him feel a little bit unbelievable: "My...my body...how could it be that it has become so powerful?"
