Above the Ruins [End Times]

Something emerged from the silence.

Accompanied by the sound of gears churning and rumbling, from the empty space, a slender cultivation tank connected to the ceiling protruded from the ground.A light green liquid filled it, and even through the refraction of the liquid, the contents of the jar were still presented in front of the eyes.

—is a human body.

From baby to toddler, from toddler to child, from child to teenager, from teenager to youth.

Except for the bright four-petaled plum blossoms on the tip of the brows, the faces of these human bodies all have the shadow of Youwei.And the juvenile body is exactly the same as Youwei.

These things took up all the space that could be occupied, and beside the professor——by Feng Zi's side, there was an empty culture tank.

——There should have been something in there.

"This is... what..." You Wei gritted her teeth, her body trembling uncontrollably.

The uncontrollable chill flowed from the heart to all the limbs, and the cold sweat soaked away, causing a large piece of cloth to stick to the body, causing discomfort, but Youwei didn't take this into consideration at all.Those faces, those people, those bodies... made him terrified.

"These are your brothers. They are your failures." Feng Zi murmured, and gently swept his finger over the nameplate on the bottom of the culture tank beside him.He stroked these words, showing a satisfied smile, "How perfect..."

Lengmo's brows were deeply wrinkled together, and there was lingering worry in his eyes.

"You see, I have failed so many times. But in the end, I still succeeded." The gray-haired old man's excited and obsessed eyes were tightly glued to the nameplate, and every word and every sentence was put on the tip of his tongue. Chewing, then slowly spit out, "Second Civilization Calendar, 120, Frost Moon, 21st, Number Zero, Evil."

"—You are the most successful, a perfect individual without any flaws, you are Evil, my most beautiful sinful flower."

"...Are you kidding me?" The voice squeezed out between teeth.

Leng Mo was by his side, and he couldn't let him see his embarrassing appearance of abnormal gaffe.However, the trembling of the body couldn't be stopped, the heart was beating violently, and it was thumping crazily in the chest.

It was an overwhelming sense of dread.

Scared.

Even in the face of Perth's punishment, Erwei, who had never been afraid before, was afraid.He is afraid.But... why are you afraid?Why fear?Youwei doesn't know, and doesn't want to think about it.

That in itself is like laughing at him - you coward!

"Excuse me... so much nonsense, are you finished?" Seeing that Youwei's condition was obviously wrong, Leng Mo's face also became tense, and his dark eyes were fixed on the other party, with a bit of anger already appearing in it.No matter how many reasons this guy has, he's bored.

"Rim ink..."

"Ah, I'm not surprised to see you at all." The professor grinned, "Mo. But you've been hiding Evil. You're such a bad boy. Of course..." His face contorted at that moment, his face His muscles spasmed, full of malice, "You thief, you are just a thief."

"Well, I'm a thief." In a calm tone.Lenmo looked straight at the other party, and frankly admitted.But, "If I'm a thief, you're a useless guy who can't protect even the most important things."

"You kept talking about yours, yours, yours, but besides giving Erwei a body to walk freely in this world, what else did you give him?"

"You pathetic, useless piece of shit."

It was still a light tone, as if it was just stating a fact—and in fact it was indeed a fact.

"You, what, what?!" The eyes behind the glasses were bloodshot, and the professor's expression seemed to want to tear this rude boy alive.

"I say, you miserable wretch."

The ice blade in his hand turned white until his knuckles turned white, but there was no sign of movement on his face.The black eyes were deep and peaceful, so peaceful that it was scary.In fact, the more angry he becomes, the calmer he becomes. This is the first time that Leng Mo has acted like a provocation—and usually he would choose to be patient and wait for the opportunity.At this moment, he couldn't bear it any longer.I don't want to bear it anymore.

"You, you—" the professor gasped heavily while covering his chest, his chest heaved and his face was distorted, and finally, he raised his finger to Leng Mo, his voice was so sharp that he changed his tone, "Kill him——kill this kid! "

A steel puppet descended from the ceiling, standing between the two of them and the professor.Where this gigantic thing could be called an eye, a dangerous red light flickered.Leng Mo frowned, didn't wait, stepped on the ground, and rushed towards the steel guardian.

Then, Scarlet's attack came.

"Leng Mo—!"

Watching Leng Mo rushing towards the huge steel doll, but disappearing in an instant, You Wei just wanted to move, but his figure froze in place.

The body in the jar opened its eyes.

All the clear sapphire blue irises looked at the boy in the center.

Then the culture tank was opened, and the bodies inside came out one by one. Their wet bodies still had light green liquid, and strands of hair stuck to their cheeks.With the soles of their feet on the ground, they walked towards the boy in the middle step by step.

Youwei froze in place, only those eyes remained in his eyes.You can see to the end at a glance, royal blue, clear but lifeless eyes.

【68. Collapse】

Those things—the "human body" with the same face as Youwei exhaled air from their mouths, but they couldn't feel any information that humans were alive.

——It's just a puppet.

No self, no soul, just an empty puppet with flesh.

However, under the watchful eyes of these puppets, Youwei's body was stiff and unable to move.Cold sweat flowed uncontrollably, and the storm in the palm of my hand, I don't know when it started, slowly dispersed.He looked like he had lost all fighting spirit.

There was a sweet smell in the air, You Wei felt a trance in front of his eyes, those eyes, those sapphire blue hollow pupils seemed to be enlarged before his eyes.He collected himself, trying to expel the dizziness in his mind.Then, he punched out.

The boy-like figure who put its head close to Youwei was caught off guard and hit the nose. It fell on its back and fell to the ground. As soon as its wide-open eyes were sore, two lines of tears rolled down its cheeks, but its face was still expressionless. expression.It looked rather weird.

You Wei couldn't care less, he looked around.The things that surrounded him were big and small, from children climbing on all fours, to young people who were staggering and obviously not yet adapted to the feeling of walking, each and every one had a face similar to his and royal blue hair. eyes.

——He is no different from these things.

The blue-eyed boy was short of breath, his eyes flashed coldly, but turned blank in the next instant, and the nearest baby had already reached his feet, stretched out his short and slender hands, and hugged Youwei's calf.

You Wei tried to kick away the thing that climbed onto his leg, but unexpectedly, the other party grabbed it even tighter.He only felt his head was dizzy, his temples were throbbing, and the only sound in his ears was the beating heart——

Plop, plop, plop!

The sweet scent in the air is getting stronger.

Those things—those puppets, slowly grinned.

If Ruwei noticed at this time, he would find that the power in his body was disappearing.

He was dazed and bewildered, his heart beating faster and faster.

Before he was conscious, he was... one of them.

Light-colored water light fluctuates from the eyes.

There is a blurred light and shadow cast in the eyes.

Through the sparkling water, through the barrier of viscous liquid medicine and glass, there are figures in white coats as far as the line of sight can see, and hundreds of culture tanks similar to themselves appear.

Opening his eyes amidst the chaos, some gray-haired old man put his palms in front of his eyes, and some gazed into his sight with delighted and expectant eyes.

He is a creature born with a certain unspoken expectation.

And those puppets that staggered towards him and approached him were failures that could not produce self-awareness.

With the same genes as him, created by the same technology for the same purpose.

Yes, he was bewildered by the sense of flesh and blood connection.

Afterwards, after Youwei thought of certain things, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.

The blue-eyed shells opened their mouths, letting out meaningless sounds from their throats.

To Youwei's ears, it seemed like he was laughing at him—look at you, your legs are so frightened that your legs are limp.As for being scared, who knows.Of course, no one needs to know.

The baby's body lying on Youwei's lap opened its mouth, revealing the gums with few teeth.Its short fingers are grabbing Erwei's calf, but there is not much expression of a baby on its cute face.It buried its head, and the nails on its fingers suddenly grew long, piercing into the flesh and blood.

The sudden pain made Youwei reflexively want to kick the things on his legs away.That thing let go of his hand at the moment of his movement, and the young palm was full of Youwei's blood, but the blood did not fall, but it seemed like a baby swallow that had found its nest, or a bird that had found its master. Puppy - blended into the baby's body.

The baby looked at its own palm and giggled as the blood disappeared into its body.

Youwei took a step back and looked up, only to see those empty shells staggering towards him, those empty eyes lit up at a certain moment.

Those things, those things... tried to eat him, tried to replace him!

Inexplicable shudder.
