Doomsday Egg

pretty close……

"... Cole? Well, that wouldn't be Korfit, would it? How... what is he doing?"

Phil yelled in disbelief.

"Ghost knows." Kelan ran to the wooden table where Phil was sorting out his equipment, picked up a gun and raised it at the unknown creature, "Get down! Unless you want to die!"

The threatening words obviously did not have any effect on the creature, it still maintained that abnormal posture to hold it there, until Kelan fired a warning shot, and it jumped on the spot

"Cole... is that Cole...?"

Compared with Kelan's tit-for-tat attitude, Phil is still in the shock of not wanting to accept the reality.

But rather than saying that he was surprised by the abnormal shape of the creature, it would be better to say that he was more concerned about his insanity being exposed in front of others...

It's like a third-rate sitcom where a child catches an adult to make love, it's too bad!

When did he start watching it?Could it be from beginning to end...

wait, no...

"No, he's not Cole..." Phil suddenly remembered what he had done before, "I locked Cole in the lounge inside...he shouldn't be able to open it from inside..."

"……you sure?"

Kelan frowned suspiciously, and then fired a shot at the creature's feet. This action didn't scare off the alerted opponent, but shocked Phil.

"Wait! Kelan... I, I'm not sure..." Phil hurriedly pulled the man who was in a rage, to prevent him from hurting the innocent because of his anger... Let's call it "innocent" for now, although this "innocent" doesn't matter how you look at it. Something is wrong.

"Then go make sure!"

Kelan knocked Phil away with his body, and fired another shot at the creature's feet. This time it seemed to hit the wooden box. The broken wooden thorn pierced his foot, and it screamed instinctively. , and then jumped off the garbage dump from the opposite direction and ran away.

"gram……"

Phil couldn't stop Kelan from continuing to chase the creature, so he could only turn back and run towards the lounge—he had to make sure that the thing was their well-behaved "son" first, which was a must.

The door was locked from the outside, as before.

Phil couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, before he could finish his breath, it got stuck in his throat.

Because he found a lot of wonderful slime oozing from the gap under the door, showing a faint red color...

is blood?

No, no, no?

"Cole! Answer me! Are you all right?"

Phil quickly took out the key and opened the lock, but the strange thing is that the door still can't be opened, it seems that there is a huge pressure behind the door, and it seems that there is some jelly-like substance that firmly sticks the door to the door frame... …

Wait, jelly...?

Phil returned his gaze to the floor, squatted down and reached out to touch the substance that seemed to be diluted plasma—after the thing touched his fingertips, it began to wrap and absorb his skin like a living leech, frightened He immediately dusted it off with both hands.

What is this thing?

Phil took two steps back unconsciously, followed the direction of the light red trace, looked from bottom to top, climbed up the beam, and moved to the center, and then...there are also...

Could that thing really be Cole?But...he obviously has a humanoid body, how could he flow in and out of such a gap, this is too ridiculous!

No, or... about him...

Phil recalled what happened in the first place he arranged for Kelan on Walter Street—at that time, he was sorting out information for Kelan, when he touched a strange small box in the bag, the whole bag It exploded, along with the contents inside... At that time, the contents inside... Although he didn't dare to look carefully, it did look like some kind of other kind of life form.

I was fooled by Kelan at the time, but now that I think about it, that thing must be Cole, right?

He grew up to be 10 years old in such a short period of time, and even copied Lilith's appearance completely...?

If this is true, the simple conclusion is - the child cannot be human.

The more Phil thought about it, the more terrifying he felt. Although as an intermediary assistant, he often saw bloody violence, and because of the investigation, he also had a certain understanding of all kinds of strange experimental information, but if such a living experimental subject, he would put it on his own. It's another matter to spend time with yourself day and night.

He's not that courageous, and now all kinds of doubts make him feel scared, even if he takes a second look at the weird creature that is playing hide-and-seek with Kelan, he must muster up his nerves courage.

but……

{Phil~Phil~}

He remembered the joyful expression on the child's face when he named Cole...the way he kept calling his name, acting like a baby to himself...and the way he opened his eyes wide, staring at him with a sense of admiration The action of cutting food... and the pitiful form shivering in his arms when being bullied by Kelan... All these made him feel inexplicably reluctant.

Although it was only a few days, he had to admit that he fell in love with this child.

...even if he's not human.

"Bang!—bang!"

The gunshot that rang out again brought him back to his senses. It seemed that Kelan was gradually losing his temper, and he was attacking the little thing scurrying around more and more frequently.

"Stop! Come here! Or I'll shoot you down!"

Kelan's tone seemed to be admonishing a dog. Phil knew that he was so angry that he was out of order, and he didn't realize that he was doing a behavior similar to massacre-at first he didn't aim on purpose, but now He was gradually aiming the sight at the opponent's joints, and the last shot had already hit the creature's rear ankle.

Some reddish substance spilled on the ground, and a strange hissing sound was squeezed out of its throat. The creature slowed down and snuggled into a half-open cardboard box, with its head bowed motionless, just moaning endlessly .

However, this did not win the executioner the slightest sympathy. He dragged the spear and approached it, pointing the muzzle at its head.

"Klan! That's enough...don't do this again!" Phil couldn't stand it any longer, and ran up to grab Kelan's arm, trying to snatch the gun away.

It's a pity that the difference in strength is obvious. In addition, Kelan was burning with anger and didn't want to master the strength at all, so he raised his hand and pulled Phil aside, but Phil didn't give up because of this, and couldn't grab the gun It doesn't matter, just block the whole body in front of the cardboard box, blocking the cold muzzle of the gun.

"If you want to kill me, kill me! I lied to you and even betrayed you. Why are you so angry at me! Don't attack innocent children!" Phil's voice was trembling with excitement. How much is because of the fear of the hatred in Kelan's eyes... Only he knows.

"It's none of your business, get out! It's all his fault, if he hadn't appeared, Lilith wouldn't have been mistaken and ended up with an unknown fate!"

Kelan stared fiercely at Phil, and indirectly at the scarred creature behind him.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't I say that these are all accidents that happened by chance? If you want to say who caused it, you are also one of the culprits!"

Even though Phil was scared in his heart, he didn't on the surface...or couldn't back down. Kelan's casual anger made him inexplicably angry, and he simply told the truth what he should say and what he shouldn't say.

"...Yes, yes! I am, I am|fucking too!" Kelan was so annoyed because he was hit by a minefield, he threw his gun to the ground fiercely, "What's going on now, what are you going to do for this kind of company? Ask me something that doesn't know anything? Do you want me to swear that if I kill him, I will kill myself? In this way, you will satisfy your twisted female mentality? This mother!"

"Snapped!"

A crisp slap ended Klan's furious roar.

"Sorry, you apologize to me."

Phil's face was sullen, and he stared at the man in front of him with a look that he was about to cry.

Kelan covered his face reflexively, and stared back at his worshiping brother with unbelievable round eyes.

This is the first time they have clashed like this.

It was also the first time that Phil got his true thoughts about himself from Kelan—maybe some of them were exaggerated because of the quarrel, but the most basic attitude would not change.

Feminine Mentality...?Although Phil can use his innate advantages to pretend to be a woman, he still has the self-esteem of a man in his bones. He absolutely cannot accept anyone who treats him as a woman, let alone this person... is still the man he loves deeply!

"……whatever."

Kelan was stunned for a while, and his dizzy mind seemed to have finally come to his senses, but he was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to deal with the current situation, so he just dropped a few words and turned around to leave—for such a result, Phil had no choice but to Tears were swallowed in my stomach.

But at any rate, he still protected his Kolfett.

Phil forced himself to smile, squatted down and turned around, reaching out his hand to comfort his "son" by the way, but the strange thing is...

He didn't touch anything. He thought there was a gap where a creature was squatting, but now there was only a puddle of blood left.

ACT15: Insect cyst

"... Cole? No way..."

Phil sat back and fell to the ground in disbelief, staring at the pool of red liquid that was originally in the shape of a human.

"what happened again?"

Not far away, Kelan was impatiently lighting the cigarette on his mouth. After noticing Phil's change, he growled loudly and frowned and looked this way, but he didn't seem to have the intention of approaching.

"That... that... no, nothing..."
