Indescribable cyberpunk - #661 - Chapter 642 Mutation
“Hey, mentor, something happened to Lawrence. I’m right outside the door.”
While dialing the phone, he walked towards the villa. As he approached the door, the door was opened by the robot butler.
“Mr. Grand is waiting for you in the gym on the second floor.”
The butler bowed and said.
“The gym on the second floor, at this time?”
Newcastle, who was full of thoughts, was stunned for a moment. The meeting place seemed a bit ridiculous.
He didn’t even know when his mentor’s home had a gym. He was exercising early in the morning, and he was still an old man who was over seventy years old?
Newcastle, who only felt absurd, finally went to the second floor under the guidance of the housekeeper.
open the door.
The scene before him stunned him.
The old man who had to walk with a cane the last time we met was now sitting on a bench, holding a dumbbell in his hand that was definitely not light based on the specifications and he was constantly raising and lowering it.
Not even a drop of sweat can be seen on his body in the light!
Noticing the sound at the door and looking sideways, Grand had an extremely satisfied smile on his face.
It looks extremely strange in conjunction with the current scene.
“Teacher, you.”
At this moment, Newcastle suddenly found that all the words he had prepared before entering the door seemed to have lost their effect.
He couldn’t help but wonder.
Is the old man in front of me still the same person I know?
“Newcastle, have you seen my current state?”
As if he had expected Newcastle to come, Grand kept up his training, looked very excited, and said,
“You coming to visit at this time means that Lawrence’s identity should have been exposed. Yes, he is a member of the Ouroboros organization. I was the one who deliberately introduced him to you in the epidemic prevention center at that time. It was also us who joined the ‘Scavenger’ plan. An agreement reached long ago.”
“Why?”
With the complicated and confusing thoughts in his mind, Newcastle could only ask these three words at the moment.
Dang rang~
The dumbbell fell to the ground, and Grand’s expression suddenly became painful.
Newcastle suddenly discovered that the old man’s body in sportswear was completely different from the one he saw in the laboratory a few days ago.
The ricket body was like a corpse that had just been placed in the cemetery and then dug up by tomb robbers.
There is still human appearance, but there is decay.
“I know what I did was wrong, but I really can’t stand the aging of my body as I grow older. They told me that as long as I cooperate, they can give me a young body again. Now I’m halfway there. .”
Talking to himself.
“who are they?”
Interrupting Grand’s words, Newcastle looked at his mentor who was obviously in an abnormal state, and his hands hanging by his sides were shaking uncontrollably.
“Lawrence, come here with me. With your current position, you can definitely get the same treatment as me. You are almost 50 years old this year, right? Don’t you want to become younger? If you can get their recognition, you can live forever.” It’s not impossible.”
He still tried to convince Newcastle, as if as long as the latter agreed to him, the future would be bright.
“Colonel Sacco died in the line of duty, the branch president of the Archaeological Association was seriously injured, and the two investigators accompanying him died on the spot. This is what Lawrence committed. Now the entire Thousand Sails City is under the threat of the Ouroboros organization, and the result of the situation continuing to deteriorate is Massive casualties among the people!”
“I’m just one step away from reincarnation, Lawrence, the last step. Do you understand? I’m just one step away from reincarnation. They are already preparing the ceremony, and there are people in the Qianfan City government who have already accepted this ceremony. This city has long been ruined.” It’s clear that it is hovering on the edge of hell, and the only choice we have is to live in hell or die in hell!”
The master and apprentice in the gym face each other, with a distance of less than 3 meters. However, what they say is completely unrelated, and the thoughts they want to express are thousands of miles apart.
Newcastle stopped his persuasion first and looked at Grand, who was blushing and still chattering in front of him. He took out his mobile phone, lowered his head to operate it, and then pointed it towards the latter.
“I will never accept any form of body modification, because everyone’s body is the best gift God has given us, and growing old with it is my wish. The purpose of epidemic prevention is to make every Qianfan City Citizens will not be troubled by the disease and have enough time to appreciate this gift. Yes, all actions taken by the epidemic prevention station are to ensure the safety of the citizens of Thousand Sail City as the primary criterion!”
A video was playing on the screen. A vigorous old man stood on the stage and calmly described the concept of the epidemic prevention center. Behind him was a projection of the future planning of the epidemic prevention center.
For a moment.
Grand stopped talking.
Those words that were spoken smoothly a second ago are now like fish bones stuck in my throat. Looking at the video in front of me, it is so difficult to spit it out!
Suddenly he collapsed on the seat, the expression on his face changed several times.
The changes in the body brought about distortions in the mind, and this past video awakened the sanity still preserved in Grand’s heart.
“I was wrong. It wasn’t until the day I really discovered that I started to decay that I realized that I was a person who was afraid of death, just for the sake of face. Ha, just think that I, an old guy, don’t want to eat what I said at the beginning, I I rejected prosthetic transformation, and at this time, Lawrence brought me a new choice. At first, I just took the medicine he provided with the mentality of giving it a try. Who would have thought that it would affect me so much? Thoughts, I started to… forget it, no matter how much I say now, it’s just an excuse.”
Frankly admitting his mistake, this time he was no longer prevaricating when he first spoke. Grand seemed to have regained his previous state, and his waist gradually straightened.
“Mentor, there is still a chance to make amends. The Security Department is now eager to know about the Ouroboros organization. As long as you are willing to cooperate, it is still not too late!”
Seeing that his mentor seemed to have returned to normal, Newcastle took a step forward and spoke with some joy.
This seemed to him his last chance.
“Lawrence is not from the Ouroboros organization. The few times I met him, that guy looked down on Gulu~”
Grand looked at Newcastle, and after a brief thought, he was about to speak. But midway through the words, he saw a look of horror suddenly appear on the latter’s face, and then found that the words on his lips were stuck again. .
It’s just that it was a psychological factor before but now it’s because my body doesn’t allow it!
From Newcastle’s perspective, dark lines appeared on Grand’s skinny body, and in the blink of an eye, they appeared on his face. At first, only a few pustules emerged at the corners of his mouth, and then the mutation took an irreversible form. The situation has begun
“Mentor! Where is the man? Come and help. We must prevent him from mutating!”
Newcastle, who was frightened, did not forget to call out to Virginia for the person who had arranged to follow him in. At the same time, Bulwer’s angry roar came from the headphones he was wearing.
Although I don’t understand why Grand suddenly changed, he can be said to be a key witness at the moment and holds very important clues. How could he die here so easily!
Bang~
The door to the gym was kicked open, and two investigators wearing the uniforms of the Archaeological Association rushed in.
He just rushed in front of Ge Lang, who was in a mutated state, but stopped abruptly.
It is not difficult to ask them to kill this mutant monster, but if they can restore him to his original state, how can there be so much trouble?
Just when the two senior investigators were at a loss, a large number of security soldiers poured in from all directions of the villa after receiving orders from Bulwer. However, what would happen if more people rushed in at this time?
It just made the man in black robes who was watching the farce in the villa in Gadamun’s illusion want to laugh even more!
He was about to raise his hand to completely destroy the non-human soul that was catalyzed by himself in Gadamun’s illusion, and then he took his hand back after thinking for a moment.
He decided to let these people from the Qianfan City government also watch a drama.
So he turned his palm and released the shackles on Grand’s soul.
At this time, the surrounding soldiers and senior investigators had to give up the idea of forcibly surrounding it and annihilating it on the spot because of Bulwer and Virginia’s orders to capture it alive.
The next second, while the soldiers were in a dilemma, the mutant monster seemed to be thinking about something and was attracted by something. It crossed the surrounding people and desperately wanted to rush out of the villa.
