Chapter 283 Flies
"...The Heart of the World accepted him."
Xia Yue frowned, finding it a little unbelievable that Qi Su could still maintain his self-awareness. "This shouldn't be possible. A human body would definitely be rejected by the Heart of the World, and would eventually degenerate into a mindless monster. How could he still maintain a clear self-awareness?"
Li Muhan certainly knew... He knew better than anyone what a fragment of the Heart of the World would turn a good human into...
He also had doubts about this. Even Huo Tian could not completely control the erosion of the Heart of the World. He eventually became a complete monster. He just sent him on his last journey before going crazy.
But now...
"Qi Su," this newly born alien didn't feel any pain at all. It slowly raised its hand, looked at its arm and claws, and revealed an extremely satisfied yet twisted smile: "I feel like I can do anything now... Li Muhan."
"Since you are now an alien, be prepared to accept control."
Li Muhan's tone was cold. He didn't save Huo Tian, so at least now, he had to bring Qi Su, who was still conscious, back to the Special Management Bureau.
"control?"
Qi Su tilted his enormous, wolf-like head and laughed disdainfully: "With this kind of power, there's no need for any restrictions!"
boom--
It suddenly exerted force on its feet and pounced towards Li Muhan and Xia Yue.
"Li Muhan."
Xia Yue glanced at Li Muhan, who sighed, and then lightning wrapped around his hand: "Everything goes through this process, Qi Su. Since you have chosen this path, let me tell you something."
The monster was extremely fast and powerful, and it arrived in front of the two men almost instantly. But when it just opened its mouth to bite Li Muhan, it suddenly felt someone holding its neck tightly.
Li Muchan controlled Qi Su's body with just one hand, and then he felt a strong electric current flowing into his body through Li Muchan's hand.
“Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”
"If you're powerful enough, you can do whatever you want! If you can't, then obey the rules!"
boom--
Li Muhan pushed Qi Su, who was shaking from the electric shock, to the ground, and then raised his hand and punched him hard in the face.
“Why…why!!! They’re all monsters!! Why!!!”
Qi Su roared angrily, "Why is it still the same as it was then! Why can I only look at your back! Why can I never fight like you?!"
Li Muhan frowned. What image did he have in this person's eyes before?
"You have the right to remain silent."
Li Muhan took a bracelet from Xia Yue. It was the restraint device he got from Meng Meng of the Sixth Team before departure. Qi Su was at best a chaotic alien at the moment. As long as he was given the restraint device, he could be completely controlled.
But just when Li Muhan was about to put shackles on the monster, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and then he turned his head to look at the mirror.
In the mirror, Mu Ya was looking at herself with a strange smile on her face.
"Dear Detective, what are you going to do with my accomplice?"
"Haha." Li Mu laughed coldly, pulled Qi Su, who was wearing the bracelet, up from the ground and said, "I thought I caught a petty thief, but I didn't expect to find a master thief. You can show up in front of me on your own, which is really great."
"How rude! The last time we met, you burned me to a pile of black. Detective, are you some kind of perverted murderer? What kind of dark thoughts and twisted sexual interests do you harbor?"
"Want to know? Come with me to one of the luxurious prison rooms on the third floor underground of the Special Management Bureau. I'll chat with you for a whole day and night, and let you know just how twisted my heart really is."
"Um?"
Xia Yue looked at Li Muhan in confusion. Li Muhan quickly turned around and whispered to her, "This is called trash talk. It's all about momentum, so it doesn't count."
Mu Ya glanced at Qi Su, who was completely subdued by Li Muhan, and sighed helplessly: "Alas~ It's rare to give him such a large piece of the Heart of the World, but he can only transform into a chaotic alien. As expected, if you want to reverse the weakness of mankind, the power you need to consume is completely disproportionate to the results you get~"
Seeing her helplessly spreading her hands, Li Muhan felt nauseous. He had no idea what this pretentious alien looked like.
"Hey~ Don't look at me like that. I'm not your opponent right now."
Buzz buzz buzz, a fly landed on Li Muhan's shoulder and was driven away by him with a gentle wave of his hand.
Mu Ya smiled and pointed at Qi Su, who was already unable to move due to the handcuffs, and said, "Dear Detective, it's time for a guessing game~"
"I don't have time to play with you."
Buzz buzz buzz, a few more flies flew past Li Muhan's eyes.
He threw Qi Su aside and walked straight to the mirror. He wanted to completely...
But before he could reach the mirror, he heard a strange noise behind him.
Buzz buzz buzz...buzz buzz buzz.
The sound of flies flapping their wings became louder and louder. He turned around and saw that Qi Su, who had been thrown to the ground by him and had no fighting ability, was now surrounded by a group of flies.
"Li Muhan, something's wrong with him."
Xia Yue looked at the swarm of flies that appeared out of nowhere with some disgust, frowned, and said, "There's a... very uncomfortable smell emanating from his body."
Li Muhan stared at Mu Ya intently: "What did you do to him?!"
"Oh, please don't accuse me, Detective. I just fulfilled his wish."
Qi Su also felt something was wrong at this moment. He originally thought that he could control this power, but now, a new power... a power that even he himself found disgusting was taking over his body bit by bit.
So he turned his head, stared at the mirror and shouted: "What... is going on?! Why... this power... would..."
The continuous questioning made Mu Ya reveal an innocent expression: "Well, this is a special service provided by others for you. You see, if you only rely on the fragments of the Heart of the World, even if you become an alien, you will still be useless. So... I added a little something to the fragments I gave you."
Having said that, Mu Ya raised a finger and then pointed at Li Muhan: "That is what you have always dreamed of..."
Buzz buzz buzz——
More and more flies began to gather towards Qi Su. Li Muhan tried desperately to drive away these flies, but even Baal's lightning could not completely block them.
Soon, Li Muhan found out the reason, because those flies did not come from outside, but came out from Qi Su's body.
Flies kept emerging from the cracks in his body, one after another, as if there were thousands of fly eggs hidden inside.
"You!!! You lied to me!! You...!! You lied to me!!"
Qi Su stared fiercely at Mu Ya in the mirror, but the latter just smiled and made a face at him: "I didn't lie to you~ I brought this thing out for you when I was helping the professor find what he wanted. I didn't expect that the Special Management Bureau... actually hid it..."
At the end, she showed her signature shark teeth: "There is a...demon soul hidden inside."
demon......?
Li Muhan was stunned. At the same time, the two demons in his body were also ready to move.
【Li Muhan, stay away from him.】
[This disgusting smell... is from that disgusting guy. Your Highness, please avoid being contaminated by his scent...]
The warnings from Baal and Lucifer made Li Muhan realize the seriousness of the situation.
Now Qi Su was completely covered by piles of flies, and at this moment, he heard a strange voice.
[…Finally…I can move around a bit.]
"Li Muhan, be careful!"
Xia Yue's wings fluttered, creating a gust of wind. She decisively pounced on Li Muhan, shielding him with her petite but strong body, and pulling him out of the horrific scene filled with a foul smell and flies.
Just when they had escaped from danger, the body that was being devoured by flies seemed to come alive and swelled rapidly, like a boil about to burst.
Suddenly, with a "puff", the filth in the body splashed like a fountain. The sticky liquid with a disgusting smell spread in all directions like the tentacles of death.
Li Muhan and Xia Yue stared at the scene with wide eyes, stunned. Their hearts raced in fear, threatening to burst from their chests. Everything the slime touched, whether delicate furniture or solid walls, rotted at a visible rate, spawning layer upon layer of slimy fungal mats that spread like a nightmare.
The flies around stopped making noise in this strange change. They just hovered quietly in the air, as if being pulled by an invisible force.
Then, the body slowly stood up, every muscle twisting and deforming. It waved its hand gently, and the flies, as if summoned by something, merged into the body. In an instant, they turned into a tattered, oil-stained robe, draped over the strange body.
The flies attached to his face also turned into a piece of dead gray skin, like a withered leaf, solidified into a lifeless and sickly face.
A tall, thin and extremely morbid figure appeared under Li Muhan's gaze. His existence itself was a symbol of horror, as if it was a nightmare that had walked out of the dark abyss.
Li Muhan immediately understood the moment he saw him.
This is......
A demon.
