Chapter 282: Wish Come True
In the dark room, only the instrument for monitoring the patient's life was making a slight sound. Lying on the bed was a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her fifties. She was wearing a ventilator and seemed to have been unconscious for a long time.
At this moment, the air in the dark corner of the room suddenly trembled a few times, and then a figure slowly emerged from the darkness.
Qi Su adjusted his glasses; the lenses looked particularly creepy under the green fluorescent light of the instrument.
He slowly walked to the bedside and looked at the woman lying on the bed with cold eyes. This woman was Qi Su's biological mother.
At this moment, the old woman who had been unable to speak suddenly opened her mouth and uttered a girl's voice that was totally inconsistent with her age.
"Hello~ my dear friend~"
“…”
Qi Su's eyes flashed with disgust, and he said coldly: "Don't use her body to talk to me."
"Oh? I see, is it because I can't imitate well enough? Wait a minute~ cough cough~"
The voice coughed twice, paused for a moment, and then changed to an older tone: "...cough cough...Xiao Su, mom misses you so much...Come here, come closer, let mom see you..."
Qi Su no longer concealed his anger. He turned around and walked out of the room.
"Hey hey! I was wrong, I was wrong! It was just a joke!"
This time the sound came from the living room outside the room. Qi Su walked straight to the mirror, and at this moment, it was Mu Ya's figure reflected in the mirror.
"Oh, dear, don't be so stingy. We've been through so much together. Can we at least be considered tacit allies?"
The girl in the mirror, with her illusory image, exudes a familiar yet mysterious temperament, and her voice is like a silky string, gently plucking the air.
"I've set a trap for them as agreed. Judging by your expression, the plan is going well, right?"
Qi Su did not show any surprise at the appearance of the girl in the mirror. His eyes were deep and steady, as if he had long been accustomed to this extraordinary communication.
"Yes, yes~ My dear accomplice, thanks to you, I was able to infiltrate the Special Management Bureau's internal network without any hindrance. For a digital lifeform, facing those impenetrable firewalls is like fighting two-dimensional lines in a three-dimensional world. All defenses are nothing but..."
She slowly stretched out her slender fingers, which passed through the surface of the mirror like a shadow and lightly stopped at Qi Su's heart.
"Just a click, just like that, and all the doors will open."
Qi Su retreated slightly, maintaining the necessary distance to avoid touching her: "Now that you have obtained what you need, it is time to fulfill your promise, isn't it?"
Qi Su was a little impatient. He kept a distance from the girl who slowly walked out of the mirror.
The girl put her hands behind her back, as comfortable as if she were at home. She ran briskly to the sofa and sat down, then crossed her legs and looked at Qi Su with a seductive look: "Yes, the professor said that we are always generous to our friends."
But she changed the subject, a hint of amusement in her eyes as she said, "But can you tell me why? Do you really want to become a monster? As a human being, you're already quite successful, right?"
"Monster?" Qi Su sneered, shaking his head slightly. He retorted, "From the experiences you've shown me with Li Muhan, every challenge and victory he's faced has filled me with yearning. That kind of power, that ability that transcends the ordinary, is what I truly desire and what I passionately pursue deep in my heart."
How sad.
Mu Ya couldn't help but feel sad for this young man.
I remember that not long ago, he described the detective as a violent gorilla. Well, maybe that was just a metaphor, or his artistic exaggeration.
But now, his desire for power is so naked and unconcealed.
But now he did not shy away from his pursuit of that kind of power, simply because he had seen the past of the man named Li Muhan, whom he had casually glanced at when he had pried into his father's memory.
Humans... never know what it means to cross the line, but what does this have to do with me?
She raised her hand gracefully, palm facing upward, and a blood-red crystal quietly appeared in her hand. It slowly rose into the air like a dream and hovered there, attracting attention.
"This is the fragment of the World Heart you mentioned that grants humans extraordinary powers... right?"
Qi Su's gaze followed the floating crystal closely, and the excitement and anticipation in his eyes almost overflowed.
"Yes, my dear accomplice, as you wish, it is yours now."
Mu Ya snapped her fingers lightly, and the floating fragment of the Heart of the World slowly fell into Qi Su's hands.
......
A moment later, Li Muhan and Xia Yue arrived in front of Qi Su's residential building, and as soon as they landed, they both felt something was wrong.
“This neighborhood is bounded.”
Li Muhan is now completely familiar with how to distinguish boundaries and can even sense the radius of the boundaries.
This realm clearly wasn't created by the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau, so the answer was obvious: it was set up by Mu Ya and her accomplices. As for why they did this...
"You'll know when you go up and see it."
Li Muhan didn't think any more. He and Xia Yue did not choose to take the elevator. Xia Yue spread her wings and flew into the air, while Li Muhan turned into lightning and followed closely behind her. The two of them arrived at Qi Su's bedside almost instantly.
With the sound of breaking glass, two people also entered the house.
"Qi Su!"
As soon as he landed, Li Muhan saw Qi Su. He was standing in the living room with his back to Li Muhan and Xia Yue, and seemed to be not interested in their arrival at all.
"Be careful, Li Muhan."
Xia Yue felt something was wrong and stopped Li Muhan who was about to step forward.
Then they found that Qi Su's body began to tremble, but not because of pain, but because he was making a very scary laugh.
"...Li Muhan, is this the power you have been feeling all this time..."
As Qi Su turned around, Li Muhan's pupils suddenly contracted, and some bad memories gradually emerged in his mind.
[To make their power your own, just like this]
Huo Tian's figure gradually began to overlap with Qi Su's. Just like that time, a blood-stained crystal flower was quietly blooming on Qi Su's chest.
But unlike Huo Tian, Qi Su had no intention of controlling him at all. Instead, he let him absorb his life.
As the blood-red crystal flower embedded in his chest became brighter and brighter, a mysterious power began to surge in Qi Su's body.
Li Muhan discovered that under his originally calm skin, the blood vessels were like ignited dark red veins, each one clearly visible and wriggling as if they had life.
The muscles twisted and deformed under the invisible pull, and the bones made low creaking sounds, as if they were bearing unimaginable pressure.
The blood-red light of the crystal gradually invaded his skin, dyeing it a sickly pale color, while his eyes were occupied by a deep red light, reflecting a kind of inner madness.
The original human features on Qi Su's face began to blur, his nose bridge twisted, his ears stretched sharply, and his teeth were involuntarily exposed, becoming as sharp as knives.
Cracks appeared on the skin, like the grain on ancient wood, and new biological structures grew in the cracks.
His arm and leg bones twisted and grew with a teeth-chattering sound, scale-like shells grew on the joints, and a thin layer of red fuzz covered the surface of his skin, echoing the color of the crystal.
The fingers gradually merged into sharp claws, and every movement was accompanied by a harsh friction sound.
Finally, when the light of the blood-red crystal faded, the original human outline had disappeared, replaced by a humanoid monster. Its body mixed the characteristics of humans and unknown creatures, full of deterrence and ominous aura. Blood-red crystal flowers bloomed on its chest. The eyes that once belonged to humans now only had endless wildness and a fanatical pursuit of power.
"Qi Su..."
There was a hint of despair in Li Muhan's eyes.
"You...what did you do..."
The alien named "Qi Su" slowly raised his head, looked at Li Muhan, and grinned: "This feeling... is so good."
