Chapter 31

After hearing this, the other members were stunned and even forgot to be vigilant.

Let number 27 leave?

The scale viper frowned: "Number One, why?"

It did not see the crazy struggle between the little fox's nature and self, and thought that the black ball was angry at the provocation.

In fact, you should be angry.

If it were it, and it was attacked by the little fox in such a dangerous situation, and it almost got into trouble, it would definitely beat the little thing until it cried to vent its anger.

But it’s not to the extent of expelling No. 27, right?

The purple squirrel was also puzzled: "What happened?"

The black group looked at them, shook his head, and indicated that they should just watch.

It turned its head and looked into the little fox's eyes: "I know you can hear me. If you don't want to leave, then try to get out."

"You've fought it once, and fighting it again won't be any harder than the first time."

Among the groups present, only Canary and Blue Group could understand what Black Group meant.

The former subconsciously looked at the little fox, his eyes a little tense.

Although Scaled Viper and Purple Ball were in a daze, they also sensed the burning sensation in the air and stopped talking.

When the dumplings' eyes converged, the little fox's pupils shrank.

Then, it suddenly straightened its body, and its entire back and waist arched upward stiffly, looking very painful.

At the same time, the color of its eyes is constantly changing.

Sadness, madness, fear, determination... many emotions flashed through the little fox's eyes, as if he was experiencing a silent battle of his own.

Finally, it shuddered and collapsed to the ground.

Regardless of being exhausted, the little fox raised his clear dark eyes and begged repeatedly.

"Number One, Number One...Don't let me go, I'll be good."

By the time it uttered the last word, its voice was so tired that it was almost inaudible.

However, his pair of black eyes were still fixed on the black mass, and before he knew it, they were already covered with a layer of tears.

How similar is this situation to the sheep in the scales viper's nightmare?

It almost couldn't help but open its mouth to plead for mercy, but the black ball walked to the little fox faster than it.

No attacks, no taunts.

Heituan just leaned down and licked the little fox's forehead.

In the mutants' body language, licking the forehead represents the elders' compassion for the younger ones, and also represents the strong's recognition of his subordinates.

Such behavior shows that No. 1 is not angry with No. 27 at all.

Why is that?

Combining the abnormality that the little fox had just shown and the words of the black ball, the scale viper suddenly had an ominous premonition in his mind.

Seeing Hei Tuan picking up the little fox and walking towards the young man on the bed, the premonition became stronger and stronger, causing it to panic for no reason.

Heituan placed the little fox close to Wenxin.

The little fox never thought that Hei Tuan would allow him to get close to the young man. His wet nose moved and he couldn't help but tilt his head to rub the young man's fingers.

As it rubbed, it began to imagine.

Imagine that these fingers can move again, rubbing its head along the side of its face.

I imagined that the young man would lower his head, his smiling eyes would be as bright as stars, his tone would be full of tenderness, and he would say to it with a smile, "Good boy, Xiaoqi."

The little fox closed his eyes. It felt like a fish bone was stuck in his throat and it felt so painful that he wanted to cry.

…This is something that happened frequently in the past, so why does it seem like a dream that is so sweet that it seems unreal?

Suddenly, the black ball asked it: "Do you want to bite him to death?"

The little fox's eyes suddenly narrowed!

The black ball's calm tone was like a cold iron spike, piercing its beautiful dream. It turned around in panic: "How could I--"

"So do you think you can kill No. 99?"

The little fox froze.

It turned its head and met the canary's eyes. They both recalled the critical scene almost at the same time.

The latter's eyes dimmed and he looked away.

The little fox explained anxiously: "Jiujiu, I'm not, I don't want to hurt you!"

Black Group tapped the little fox on the head and said, "You really don't mean to hurt anyone, but you can't control yourself."

"I've got it under control!"

The little fox's rebuttal was already fierce.

"Look at me now. I can control myself!"

The black ball stared into its eyes: "So what happens next?"

"What happened today, if it happens again, could lead to an irreversible disaster."

"Are you sure you can control yourself well at all times?"

The little fox suddenly fell silent.

The black ball turned around and looked at all the balls present, mainly at the scaled tree viper and purple squirrel who were not present at the time.

"No. 27 lost himself in the process of evolving into a perfect form and almost bit No. 99 to death. So I suspect that after becoming a perfect form, the mutant will be affected by the negative emotions in the genes."

"It's not just No. 27. Each of our mutants could be controlled by genes and start killing people around them."

The scale viper understood the meaning of these words, and its heart almost stopped beating at that moment.

Its premonition came true.

The black group looked at the little fox again, but the latter had lowered his head at some point.

If you push aside the thick layer of fur on its cheeks, you can see that the little fox's face has turned completely pale.

Under the gaze of the black ball, it wished it could be a turtle, curl itself up and block out all the words it didn't want to hear from its shell.

Too bad it can't.

Black Group: "So you have to leave, Xiao Qi."

"I... have nowhere to go." The little fox couldn't help but choke, "I don't know where I can go."

"Please don't chase me away, okay? I can stay far away and I promise I won't disturb or hurt anyone."

The little fox wanted to cry more and more as he spoke, and the tears that he had finally stopped flowed again.

It knows that its words are not secure.

If it really loses its self and is controlled by its nature, then even if it keeps a distance at first, it will greedily sniff out the scent and chase after you, launch an attack, and devour you.

Unless, it goes to a very far place, so far that we can never meet again.

That means there will be no warm hands rubbing its head, no canaries hugging it when it's cold.

There would be no scaled tree viper waving it by the tip of its tail, no purple squirrel stamping its foot and glaring at it as it messed up its behavior.

It will no longer see the blue ball leisurely floating in the balcony basin, patting its belly lazily.

No longer will you see the black mass perched on top of the cabinet, guarding this home like a guardian stone.

…

The little fox thought and thought.

If its future was destined to be like that in the base, curled up alone in an empty room, holding only its big tail.

...Then why not kill it now?

Hearing the little fox's pleading, the other members present were all moved.

But they all knew that although the Black Group was usually easy to talk to, once Wen Xin's life safety was involved, the other side would never give in.

But what should the little fox do?

Do you really want to drive him away?

Also, if affected by genes, it is the only way for every variant to evolve into a complete form.

So, will they also...?

The dumplings remained silent, but their hearts were filled with turbulent waves.

Unexpectedly, in this tense atmosphere, the black group no longer used that cold tone to the pink group.

It lowered its head and asked calmly, "Who said they wanted to chase you away?"

The little fox was stunned.

It seemed as if it had been hit by a pie falling from the sky, and was so happy that it was dizzy.

The next second, the little fox touched Wen Xin's arm, shuddered, and was bounced back into the cold reality.

I couldn't help but ask anxiously, "You won't chase me away? But I will hurt everyone."

"So you have to leave and come back when you are sure you won't hurt anyone."

When these words were spoken, everyone was surprised.

None of the other members, including the little fox, had ever thought about the possibility of leaving and then coming back.

The black group continued, "Our genes are not stable, so we suffer the pain of genetic disorder. Becoming a complete body is the only way to make the genes and the body completely compatible. I believe everyone knows this."

The group nodded.

Of course, the researchers did not tell them that becoming a complete organism would free them from genetic disorder.

After all, those people would like to tie them up in the base with drugs, so how could they tell them how to escape from their control?

The reason why we know this method is that this fact has existed in the mutant's cognition since the moment the mutant was born.

Just like cats catching mice and dogs eating meat, biological instincts are so incredible.

All mutants tacitly concealed this matter.

The researchers who were certain that they could not escape from the base were slapped in the face by the subsequent explosion.

The dumplings felt a sense of satisfaction when they thought of the researchers' probably distorted faces after discovering that they had escaped.

However, what the black group said next was unknown to everyone.

Heituan said: "Evolution can free you from constraints, but evolution never means ease. Xiaoqi will be controlled by his nature, which is the test he must endure in the process of adapting to his nature."

"As long as it can stick to itself and stay awake while evolving into a perfect form, it will not fall into bloodthirsty desires and can become a truly powerful perfect form."

The little fox couldn't help but get excited: "Are you serious?"

The black group hummed without changing its expression.

Could such a good thing really happen?

The other members couldn't help but wonder.

Canary subconsciously touched her throat.

The mutant's healing ability is extremely strong. In just a short while, the wound on the throat had already healed and formed a thin layer of blood scab.

But he could not forget how ferocious the little fox was after being controlled. He pursed his lips and asked in a hoarse voice: "Number One, why do you know this?"

Yes, if it is instinctive cognition, why can No. 1 know this while they are unaware of it?

Unexpectedly, the black group glanced at them indifferently.

"Because none of you are as strong as me."

As soon as these words came out, the corners of the mouths of the dumplings present twitched, and Scalesviper even wanted to fight the mutant.

But no one could refute it.

Because the Black Group is truly the strongest, no doubt about it.

Then, the black group said something to reassure them.

"Not just number 27, in no more than two weeks, I will also evolve into my complete form."

When it uttered the last half of the sentence, it paused for a moment.

The pause was very brief, only about one hundredth of a second, and no dumplings noticed.

"You should be there soon."

Looking at everyone's faces and taking in the subtle details, Heituan said in a normal tone, "Don't worry, even if you leave, I will stick to the end and send Wen Xin safely to the human survival base."

Finally, the little fox decided to follow the black group's advice and leave now.

There were some things that the black ball didn't say out loud, but it understood them very well in its heart.

——If one cannot resist the temptation of the illusion until the end, then it will become a disaster for everyone if it loses itself.

So the little fox left this time, preparing to find a deserted place and lock himself up.

That way, when it comes back, it will still be the little fox that everyone knows.

It is a little fox who has never done anything bad on his own initiative and always does things cleanly.

.

Before leaving, the little fox looked at Wen Xin's sleeping face, suddenly opened its mouth, pulled out a small tuft of hair from its chest, and placed it on the young man's slightly open palm.

Then he opened his mouth again, tore a small piece of cloth from the other person's sleeve, and held it in his mouth.

Biting the piece of cloth, the frightened little fox seemed to have found its backbone and suddenly felt less uneasy.

It wanted to get something else and looked around.

Number One is too strong, making it nervous. The Scaled Viper is too fierce to be provoked. The Purple Dumpling and the Blue Dumpling are not that familiar to it yet.

All that's left is...

The little fox jumped off the bed, tiptoed to the silent canary, and called out weakly, "Hmm?"

Jiujiu, can you give me one of your feathers?

The canary touched her throat and said nothing.

The little fox also noticed the blood scab on his neck, and his bright eyes dimmed immediately: "Hmm..."

Okay, I'm leaving now...

“Oh.”

You have to take care of yourself and run away if someone bullies you, okay?

After saying that, the little fox walked out with the cloth in its mouth, looking back every three steps.

When I was almost at the door, I suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind me.

Before the little fox could turn around in surprise, the canary grabbed it by the back of the neck and lifted it up.

He moved even faster, more accurately and ruthlessly, pulling out a large tuft of hair from the pink ball's chest.

He was so strong that he plucked the feathers like a chicken. The little fox almost cried.

The canary grasped the tuft of hair tightly in her palm, looked into the little fox's tearful eyes, and opened her sleeves after half a pause.

Under the sleeves is a row of yellow-brown feathers.

Compared to when they first appeared, these feathers have grown much more mature, the tender yellow has faded, and a golden color has appeared, deep and gorgeous.

This is the first raptor-like feature revealed in the canary, and it has extraordinary significance for him.

Even after that, when other parts of his body began to show similar characteristics, he still took extra care of this patch of feathers and would not let anyone touch it.

Now the canary stretched out her hand expressionlessly, holding the little fox's hair in her palm, clasping her fingers together, twisting a feather and plucking it out.

"If you lose it, don't expect me to give you a second one."

The little fox nodded hurriedly.

And so, Pink Dumpling set off with the warm pieces of clothing and the canary feather.

It stood at the end of a country road, wagging its big fluffy tail, and looked in the direction of everyone for a long time.

Finally, the little dumpling turned around, leaped forward, and disappeared under the vast moonlight.

Canary stood straight at the door, and only slowly withdrew her gaze after she could no longer see the pink ball.

As soon as I entered the house, I heard Heituan asking the scale viper.

"Is your evolution time two days from now?"

The scale viper had turned back into a cat, its body visibly frozen.

Finally, it said without much confidence: "Yeah, so what."

The scaled tree viper sneered, "Do you think I'm that little fox? It can't control itself because it's too weak. I'm not like it."

The black group still spoke in a calm tone: "What's the difference between you and it?"

The Scaled Viper raised its chin and said, "I am an S-rank. I survived many trials and was promoted to S-rank! Doesn't that mean I am stronger than it?"

"Yes, you are stronger than No. 27."

Before the Scales Viper could be proud, Black Group said, "So when you lose yourself, the damage you cause will only be greater than it."

“…”

The scale viper wanted to retort disdainfully.

But when it opened its mouth, it couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

After a few seconds of silence, the Scales Viper spoke in a hoarse voice: "Can't you stop me?"

The black group shook its head without hesitation.

In order to slow down its evolution, it injected too much venom into the scale viper, and its body is still in a weak state.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be so sleepy, and it wouldn't have failed to notice the little fox's abnormality for so long.

If that time really comes, it may not be able to control the frenzied Scaled Viper in time.

Seeing how decisive the black group was, the corners of the Scales Viper's mouth slowly pulled into a stiff straight line.

If it were in the past, it would definitely laugh out loud if it heard the stronger one admit that he could do nothing to it.

...Why can't I laugh at all now?

The scale viper remained where it was until the black group left.

It raised its head slightly, looked in the direction of Wen Xin, and stood there silently all night.

When Wen Xin woke up again, it was already the next morning.

The dim sunlight shone through the old wooden window glass, onto the young man's long eyelashes, casting a small fan-shaped shadow.

The young man frowned, and his eyelashes immediately trembled rapidly like the flapping of butterfly wings, revealing a pair of sleepy eyes.

Before he could see the scene clearly, Wen Xin's left hand touched a small tuft of soft hair.

When I took it in front of me, I saw that it was pink.

Pink...Xiaoqi?

What happened to Xiaoqi?

Wen Xin sat up quickly, and his right hand felt cold and hard again.

This time it was a green scale.

Before Wen Xin could think about it, a soft cat's meow suddenly came from beside her.

Looking sideways, I saw Green Ball squatting beside the pillow with an obedient look on his face.

Seeing that he was awake, it fluttered its tail and rubbed his arm again.

"Meow~"

Big lazy bug, finally woke up~
