Chapter 59: The Key to All Insects (Part 2)
Inside the "Chrysalis Project" laboratory three hundred meters underground.
Under the cool white light, a slender man stood in the center of the circular control console. He wore a perfectly tailored lead-gray lab coat with a small silver chrysalis-shaped badge pinned to his collar.
"interesting."
Dozens of surveillance footage played before the man. The largest one showed a playback of footage from inside the church—within the protective shield, a pale, handsome young man was speaking to a large white goose.
"I'm sorry, Doctor!"
Vortex Thirteen stood one meter away from the doctor, his tall body straight as a monument, his eyes closely following the doctor.
The protective mask on his face had been removed, revealing the suture-riddled skin beneath. In his left eye socket, a black planarian coiled and slowly squirmed.
"Notify Mole Cricket Team B and bring them back. This is such a perfect test subject, I want to hear his heart beating in the lab!"
The other side.
At noon, Xie Mian and his companions found a barely drivable car on the side of the road. He felt a little regretful that the previous car had been damaged and scrapped during the fight.
"Xie Song, wow..."
Yang Shu stood aside and was about to say something like goodbye or thanks, but Xie Mian raised his hand to stop him.
"Time is running out, get in the car first!"
Xie Mian opened the car and sat in the back seat. E Shifang followed closely behind and sat down next to Xie Mian.
"W-want to drive?"
Yang Shu was a little hesitant. His insect energy was "huge strength". Since he obtained the insect energy, many things were "broken" in his hands. He could not control the insect energy freely now.
Seeing Yang Shu's embarrassment, Xie Mian said:
"Imagine the insect as any part of your body, and control it like your hands and feet."
“When using insect energy, imagine it flowing out of your palm like water. You can release as much as you want. When you take it back, feel it being sucked back into your body little by little, like being drawn by a magnet.”
Yang Shu felt that he had some understanding. He took a deep breath and sat in the driver's seat. He slowly stretched out his hands and gripped the steering wheel.
“Ga ga ga!”
If the steering wheel falls off, just unscrew your head and put it back on to replace the steering wheel.
Although he didn't understand what Goose Shifang's cry meant, Yang Shu couldn't help but feel a chill on his back and his hands trembled when he saw its ferocious look.
Fortunately, fortunately, the steering wheel is intact and has not been separated from the car.
With my foot on the accelerator, the car sped towards the outer ring highway.
E Shifang opened the protective shield, and the crackling purple electric current made the insect monsters along the way dare not approach.
Xie Mian closed his eyes and began to concentrate on absorbing the insect stone he had obtained from the old insect god's body.
The green insect stone emitted a cool light in the palm of his hand, and his exposed slender white wrist was gradually covered by green lines.
Those patterns are not simple lines, but are like real plant veins, with trunks and branches, and you can even see the green light flowing through them.
The skin covered by the lines becomes whiter and more translucent, and against the backdrop of green veins it looks like fine mutton-fat jade.
“Hmm…”
The light of the insect stone suddenly increased, and Xie Mian couldn't help but hum softly. He felt a powerful energy surging into his body. This energy did not make him feel uncomfortable, but instead was as comfortable as a clear spring.
E Shifang narrowed his eyes and scanned Xie Mian from head to toe eight hundred times like an X-ray machine.
Although there would normally be no problem in absorbing insect stones, when he saw the green lines spreading across Xie Mian's thin white wrist, he even breathed a little lighter.
He saw the ends of Xie Mian's hair begin to change color—
The jet-black hair gradually turned emerald green from the roots; the eyebrows and eyelashes also began to turn from black to green, and the eyelashes became thicker and longer, like two small fans, casting a faint green shadow on the fair cheeks.
The wounds on my face and forehead are also healing.
Those bloody wounds seemed to be gently smoothed by invisible fingers, and healed again at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The new skin was whiter and more translucent than the original one, like fine white porcelain coated with a layer of moonlight. The whole face was like a carefully polished jade, without a single flaw.
The most amazing thing is that several extremely fine emerald lines appeared at the healing site of the wound, like carefully painted flower ornaments, appearing and disappearing.
Snap——
It's the sound of saliva falling.
E Shifang suddenly came to his senses and quickly wiped the corner of his mouth with a feather.
This...this...my wife is so beautiful!
Yang Shu was also attracted by the green light behind him and looked at the rearview mirror involuntarily. Then, the front of the car suddenly tilted.
“Ga ga ga!”
What are you looking at? Drive your car carefully.
The existence behind was too ferocious, Yang Shu didn't dare to look anymore, he just felt that Brother Xie seemed too beautiful to be real, like... like an elf walking out of the forest.
"What's wrong?"
Hearing the noise, Xie Mian slowly opened his eyes.
The moment he opened his eyes, the insect stone in his palm turned into powder with a "pop" sound, and the last bit of energy was absorbed into his body.
The moment Xie Mian turned his head to look at him, E Shifang's heartbeat instantly accelerated, and his eyes widened:
"Ga-ga-ga, ga!"
Wife, you, your eyes.
"Um?"
Seeing the doubt in Xie Mian's eyes, E Shifang quickly explained:
“Ga ga ga!”
Wife, your eyes have turned green.
The pupils, which were originally as black as obsidian, turned into a crystal clear green.
They look like two luxurious emeralds, or like two bottomless emerald lakes.
E Shifang took out a small mirror from the space and handed it to Xie Mian.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Xie Mian was also a little surprised:
Green eyebrows, green eyes, green hair, it's really bright green...
Staring at his green figure in the mirror, Xie Mian suddenly became angry and looked at E Shifang seriously: "I look like this..."
"Ha ha ha?" What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?
E Shifang was staring at Xie Mian intently, and when he heard the words, he quickly pricked up his ears.
"You must not cheat on me!" Xie Mian said seriously, and reached out to touch his emerald green hair, "Look, I'm already green enough!"
"puff--"
Yang Shu couldn't help laughing in the driver's seat. He didn't expect that Brother Xie, who was so cold, would also tell jokes.
"Gah!"
"quack!"
E Shifang's face flushed.
My wife teased me even though I'm 20 centimeters long!
