"Don't move, police!!"
Just as Fang Zheng rushed onto the stage, he saw a blonde woman in an evening gown coming to the front of the stage, raising a pistol and aiming at the actress in front of her.
"Ah, I didn't expect you to be unaffected."
Looking at the blonde woman in front of her, the actress showed a surprised expression, then smiled and spoke slowly.
"Maybe you can be awakened. The cells in your body are communicating with each other, and they are about to wake up!"
What the hell is this?
Listening to the actress' words, not only the blonde was confused, but even Fang Zheng was bewildered. "Miss, if you were talking about the resurrection of the evil god or the end of the world, that would be fine, but cells... you are doing so much magic and talking about science, what are you trying to do?
Before Fang Zheng could say anything else, the actress suddenly raised her hand, and a beam of light suddenly shot out from her hand and shot towards the blonde. Faced with this unimaginable scene, the blonde quickly rolled over to avoid it, but the beam of light still brushed past her body. The blonde wailed and fell to the ground, and at the same time, scars like burns appeared on her back.
Oh my god, what the hell is this?
Looking at the beam of light from the actress's hand, Fang Zheng was stunned. Because he could feel that this beam of light was not magic, nor was it a superpower, but was similar to some special units in the Zerg, which condensed energy through biological reactions in the body!
To put it simply, it is no different from animals like electric eels!
What kind of plot is this? Are aliens invading the earth?
"Ouch... my body... is so hot..."
At this moment, the blonde woman screamed softly, but the next moment, Fang Zheng saw that the scars on her back that were originally caused by the light beam healed quickly. In less than two seconds, the scars that looked like burns by fire disappeared, and were replaced by a smooth and white back.
"You, what did you do to me!?"
The blonde woman seemed to realize that something was wrong with her body. She glared at the actress and began to yell loudly, but the latter just smiled coldly and raised her right hand again. Soon, the light began to condense again.
“Ugh…!!”
Realizing that the situation was not good, the blonde woman quickly rolled away, then she raised her pistol, pointed it at the actress and pulled the trigger.
“Bang, bang, bang, bang!!!”
With the sound of gunfire, bullets flew out and hit the actress, leaving a few spots of blood. If it were an ordinary person, they would have died long ago after being shot so many times. But this actress was completely different. She just stood there, looking at the blonde woman with a smile on her face.
"The more you use this power, the more you become like me... one day, you will be like me..."
"Who are you?"
"My name is Eve..."
As she spoke, the actress stretched out her hand and grabbed the blonde. The blonde seemed to be in a trance and knelt on the ground, not responding to the actress's actions at all.
And at this moment...
"Bang!!!"
With the deafening sound of gunfire, the actress's right hand exploded, and she screamed and hurriedly retreated. At the same time, Fang Zheng raised the Magnum in his hand and strode over. Seeing Fang Zheng's appearance, the actress's face suddenly changed.
"You... who are you? Why are you not affected?"
Fang Zheng was not interested in talking nonsense with the actress. Facing her question, Fang Zheng pulled the trigger again without hesitation. The gunshot rang out again, and this time the right half of the actress's face was blown apart, and blood and debris splattered all over the ground. However, even so, the woman still did not fall down. She only shook her body for a while, and then continued to stand firm.
"No matter who you are, you can't stop this! The reign of the nucleus is over!!"
Could you please not say such scientific lines when using such magical abilities? !
Just as Fang Zheng was complaining in his heart, he saw the woman's body suddenly began to swell and grow. Her arms quickly stretched out and turned into devil-like claws. The legs under her skirt were no longer human, but a black curved hook. Only her head still retained a more or less human appearance, which was quickly repaired.
“Bang, bang, bang!!”
Seeing this, Fang Zheng pulled the trigger again, and bullets flew out and hit the transformed actress. However, this guy seemed to be invincible for a period of time after transformation. Even the bullets that were enough to blow up the tyrant seemed to hit the thick surface of the tire when they hit her, leaving no scars at all.
Hey, this stuff isn't over yet!
Fang Zheng also put down the Magnum in his hand, then reached into his arms and took out an M-6 heavy pistol. The weapons in this world are not good enough, but I don’t believe that the weapons in the interstellar era can’t kill you?
"Finally, the day of mitochondrial liberation has arrived! It's too late! Humans, your era is over!"
This woman seemed to be very afraid of Fang Zheng. She didn't foolishly say she wanted to fight the protagonist for three hundred rounds like other bosses did after transforming. Instead, she flew up directly after making the threats and disappeared in the backstage in the blink of an eye.
Cell nucleus? Mitochondria? What the hell is this?
To be honest, Fang Zheng was too tired to complain. Of course, he knew what these two terms meant, but what did they have to do with what was happening now? Could they be the names of some secret organization? One was called the cell nucleus, and the other was called the mitochondria?
“Woo…”
Just as Fang Zheng was complaining inwardly, he saw that the blonde woman who had just fallen into a trance also woke up. She shook her head, then stood up and looked around, then cast her gaze towards Fang Zheng.
"Where's that woman?"
“Run away.”
Fang Zheng said this, then turned his head and looked at the door behind him. At this moment, the entire theater was already in a mess, with charred bodies everywhere. In the distance, the sound of sirens could be faintly heard. It seemed that the police had arrived. I wonder if others had evacuated successfully... Those American news media are very annoying.
"We must catch up as soon as possible!"
At this moment, the blonde woman also heard the sirens, gritted her teeth and rushed to the backstage, while Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.
"Is it necessary? Aren't the police already here?"
“I am the police!”
The blonde turned around and took out her police ID and waved it in front of Fang Zheng. I see. I remember that she seemed to have been saying that she was a police officer when she was facing the actress at the beginning. But, um...
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng once again looked up and down at the blonde woman in front of him.
With a pretty face, a slender figure, and a black evening dress that exposed her entire thighs, she looked totally incompatible with being a police officer.
"By the way, sir, you are..."
After revealing her identity, the woman stared at Fang Zheng with a puzzled expression - this was normal, after all, this was an opera house, and everyone was here to watch the opera. It was normal for a police officer to carry a pistol, but it was very abnormal for the man in front of her to hold a Magnum rifle.
At least ordinary people wouldn't do that.
However, Fang Zheng was naturally prepared for this.
"FBI."
Fang Zheng also took out his ID and fiddled with it in front of the blonde woman. The ID was of course real. After all, Fang Zheng was spending the FBI's money, so it was normal for him to get an FBI ID... right?
After checking Fang Zheng's ID, the blonde woman seemed to finally let down her guard and stretched out her hand to Fang Zheng.
"New York's 16th Police Station, AYA."
"Just call me Fang Zheng."
Fang Zheng extended his hand and shook hands with AYA.
"Aren't you going to join your companions?"
"No, the most important thing now is to catch the murderer."
In response to Fang Zheng's question, AYA shook his head, while Fang Zheng shrugged helplessly and sighed.
"Okay, then I'll go with you, so I can at least take care of you."
At this point, Fang Zheng was almost certain that the policewoman named AYA must be the protagonist of this "incident". Otherwise, why did so many people run away when the theater was on fire, but she was the only one who ran over to catch the criminal and was not set on fire - this was definitely not because she had righteous energy that made her immune to evil spirits.
"Okay, let's go."
This AYA was also a man of swift and decisive character. He left as soon as he said he would, and soon the two of them rushed to the backstage. At this moment, of course, the actress had disappeared. Not only that, but a huge hole could be seen burned on the ground - so this guy ran away from here in a panic?
Fang Zheng recalled the last transformation of the woman he saw - well, with her transformed appearance, it would be quite difficult for her to pass through the door.
"Hey!"
AYA jumped down without hesitation, and Fang Zheng followed behind her. To be honest, he admired this girl very much. It’s not that she was brave, but Fang Zheng saw that she was wearing this evening dress and platform shoes and she could jump up and down as if she was walking on flat ground... Well, this girl is indeed not an ordinary person.
“How miserable…”
Jumping down to the corridor below, AYA gasped at the scene in front of him. The entire corridor was littered with burnt bodies curled up together. Nothing could be seen except the black wreckage. Well... it was no different from the victims in the opera house.
"How on earth did that woman do it?"
Fang Zheng looked at the corpses around him, puzzled. Of course, strictly speaking, it was not difficult to set someone on fire. There were people with the ability to set fire to others in Academy City, but that was a superpower. Whether it was magic or superpowers, Fang Zheng could feel special energy fluctuations. However, in fact, whether just now or now, Fang Zheng did not feel any special energy fluctuations at all. It was as if these people suddenly caught fire, burned, and then died.
Or is it some kind of external force that I haven't felt?
"No matter how she did it, as long as we catch her, we will know everything!!"
Looking at the corpse in front of him, AYA bit his lips tightly, then waved his pistol vigorously and strode forward.
However, at this moment, suddenly, an unexpected scene occurred.
“Squeak!!!”
Just in the corridor in front of AYA, a few rats suddenly jumped out - of course, it was not uncommon to have rats in the underground, but what happened next surprised both of them.
In front of them, the bodies of the mice suddenly began to swell like balloons, and their mouths broke free from the skin, revealing the long jaws inside. Their sharp fangs quickly extended, becoming longer than a tiger's claws in the blink of an eye, and the skin on the surface of the mouse's body was torn directly. At the same time, the tip of its tail also split into three pieces.
Then the mouse stared at Fang Zheng and AYA, screamed, and then suddenly swung its tail.
Then three fireballs were seen suddenly shooting out from the tip of the mouse's tail and flying directly towards the two of them!
Holy shit, what the hell is this?!
Seeing this, Fang Zheng was completely stunned.
Even if the T virus can cause animals to mutate, it will not give them super powers!
How come this mouse has not only mutated, but can also shoot fireballs? !
