Chapter 85
Dormitory No. 303 fell into silence.
Under the dull gaze of No. 2, the chair that had fallen to the ground slowly straightened itself up without anyone controlling it.
The chair stood intact next to the dining table, as if nothing had just happened. However, No. 2 was clearly aware that there
was a third person in the room besides him and the keeper!
There was a third person who saw the deal he and the keeper proposed!
The boy's heart was empty, and his whole expression was not good.
Who was it...
Suddenly, No. 2 had a flash of inspiration in his mind. He thought of something and blurted out: "You are No. 1, right?"
He once again guessed the existence of A Yan.
After all, in the brooding center, the only invisible existence is Number One, and this knowledge also makes Number Two feel a little better in the face of collapse, because -
Number One can't speak! Others can't see him!
Although he can write, but in the brooding center, no one except Number One can read! So Number One can't tell others what he saw!
Fortunately, fortunately...
The boy comforted himself in this way, and his emotions facing collapse were relieved a little. However, just when he was about to ask Number One why he appeared here, he heard a strange voice in the room.
"Yes, I'm No.1."
The voice of the boy, who was obviously much more mature than him, said, "You can also call me Ayan."
"..."
"…………"
"………………"
? ! ! ! !
No.2 widened his eyes and looked at the dining table in disbelief.
After a long time, he blushed and stammered, "You...you don't...can't speak?"
No.2 felt that he was deceived!
How could this be! How long has he been a beast? Why can No.1 suddenly speak?
Ayan stood beside the chair, rubbing his head that was hurt by the fall with his little hand, looking at No.2 angrily. Hearing his question, he controlled the communicator again.
"Now I can."
His mechanical synthesized voice was still so warm and peaceful that people couldn't tell his emotions.
Ayan glanced at Su Ci.
Seeing the young man's leisurely look, she couldn't help but pursed her lips, stood on the chair again, and poured the meat slices that were originally prepared for No. 2 back into the plate.
No. 2 actually wanted Su Su to touch his tail...
Damn it! He hasn't grown a tail yet!
A Yan thought about it, picked up the plate again, and stepped to the stove, and put it in the food processor to heat it up.
As the barbecue was heated again, the aroma of the meat, which had faded, became stronger again and spread in the room.
"Gurgle~~~~"
The sound of a rumbling stomach rang in the room.
Smelling the meat aroma, No. 2, who was already feeling hungry, suddenly felt his stomach rumble. In the quiet room, the sound was particularly loud.
The red-haired boy covered his stomach.
This is so embarrassing...
He lowered his head. Because of embarrassment and shame, the boy's usually cold and domineering face had turned red.
How could this happen...
How could this happen...
Su Ci looked at the boy and saw that he looked like he was about to explode. He felt interesting and sighed in his heart.
No. 2's Qi-cultivation skills are still not good enough.
But...
Touch the tail?
Su Ci couldn't help but touch his chin. Why did this deal sound so familiar?
He thought of the shameless little wolf cub... Did No. 2 learn this from Xiao Langze? These cubs, one by one, followed this little wolf cub and learned the wrong way.
However, the little wolf cub is now very skilled in acting cute.
In comparison, number two was too thin-skinned.
He hadn't said anything yet, but the boy's head had almost dropped to his chest, and not only his ears, but even the hair on his tail had exploded.
Even the originally fair skin on his cheeks had turned red as if it was about to bleed, and it was almost the same color as his hair.
Su Ci looked at the boy and found it very interesting.
But it was obvious that the child himself didn't think so. When Su Ci coughed lightly and was about to continue the topic just now, the boy suddenly jumped away like a frightened cat.
And the fur on his body, which originally only grew to his neck, began to spread rapidly to the skin on his face as his emotions got out of control.
Soon, the fur covered the boy's entire body, and his body changed from standing on two feet to slowly hunching over and finally standing on all fours.
His human hands also turned into beastly claws, his eyes gradually turned into beastly vertical pupils, his canine teeth became sharper and longer, and his entire body was changing - the boy was transforming from a human to a tiger.
Ah Yan, who was still sulking, noticed his movements and quickly dodged and ran over.
Seeing the boy transform into a beast again, he was worried and subconsciously looked at Su Ci for help.
Su Ci was very calm, but there was inevitably a hint of helplessness in his expression. This little tiger cub was really bad at controlling his emotions.
However, it was normal for him to be so serious after being eroded by the red flames for a long time without effective treatment.
In the blink of an eye, the boy had completely turned into a little tiger, and his body was still growing. His new cub clothes were torn again, making a sound of tearing cloth.
Seeing it growl in pain, Su Ci finally spoke.
"Number Two."
It was just two simple words. Ordinary people would think it was ordinary, or even a little lazy and frivolous. However, these two words sounded like a thunderclap in the ears of the little tiger.
Boom -
No. 2, who was originally caught in an emotional vortex and surrounded by burning flames again, suddenly woke up. His chaotic beast eyes regained clarity and showed his humanity again.
The process of No. 2's complete beastification was interrupted just like that.
However, it was actually not much different from complete beastification.
At this moment, No. 2 had completely turned into the appearance of a little red flame tiger. The only difference was that in the complete beastification, his body could occupy most of the room.
But now, it was about the same size as the sofa in the living room.
Of course, the biggest difference is that the human consciousness of No. 2 is still awake.
He was protected by Su Ci's soul power. In the boundless sea of fire, a barrier appeared to protect his fragile consciousness. When he woke up, he also clearly felt that he had completely turned into a beast.
No. 2 felt his limbs go limp. Just as he was about to take a step, he fell to the ground involuntarily.
I...
"Meow--"
No. 2 opened his mouth slightly. He just wanted to speak, but the sound that came out of his mouth was a young tiger's, tender and weak cry, with full confusion and helplessness.
How could this be...
"Meow--"
Hearing the meow sound he made again, No. 2 finally confirmed that it was indeed made by him.
He couldn't help but widen his tiger eyes, with shock and confusion in his eyes.
The majestic Red Flame Tiger...how could it roar like this? !
Number Two looked at his hands.
Now, they have turned into a pair of furry tiger claws, with short brown and yellow hair with red stripes, extending from the arms to the wrists, and the entire claws are covered with snow-white fur, just like wearing a pair of plush gloves.
Number Two finally confirmed that he had indeed turned into a tiger with red stripes, but...
this size seemed to be much smaller than when he first transformed into a beast?
What on earth is going on?
He lost control of his emotions and transformed into a beast again, but he regained consciousness in the middle, but why did he still maintain the body of a beast after waking up?
Could it be that he could only maintain this form from now on?
Number Two felt very confused. This was a situation he had never encountered before, and what was worse was that he felt as if he could not control his body after turning into a beast.
He tried to stand up with his limbs.
"Bang--"
Before he could stand firmly, his limbs became weak again and he fell to the ground.
The young Red Flame Tiger showed human-like panic and helplessness on its face. At this moment, it had lost all its ferocity and was very pitiful in its cuteness.
Seeing the little tiger like this, A Yan couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.
Number Two...
is he sick? Why can't he seem to stand up?
"Don't worry."
Fortunately, Su Ci spoke at the right time.
He said to No. 2: "This is only temporary. When you can initially control the blood power in your body, you will naturally be able to change back."
As for why he couldn't stand up... it was actually not a big problem. After all, in just a few days, No. 2's blood power erupted many times, which was a huge consumption of the body.
Now for the first time in complete beast transformation, his consciousness suddenly regained consciousness, causing the body and consciousness to separate for a short period of time, so he couldn't control his beast body. This is also a very normal situation.
After he rests for a while and gradually adapts, he will be able to control his body again, but...
it may not be so easy to change back to human form.
Because this time, Su Ci will no longer use soul power to help him.
The child needs to rely on himself to master the power. He can't help him much, and he can't help him every time, otherwise, he will never be able to grow up. He
still has to walk the road by himself.
No. 2, who was in a panic, finally calmed down a little after hearing Su Ci's words.
He looked at Su Ci and opened his mouth to ask, but...
"Meow--" Hearing his childish cry again, No. 2 closed his mouth, and a bit of shame and depression appeared in his beastly eyes.
Su Ci couldn't help laughing.
After shrinking in size, the Red Flame Tiger looks more like a big cat.
No. 2 closed his mouth and lay on the ground, simply not speaking. Anyway, he couldn't speak and couldn't communicate with the keeper.
Although the keeper said that he could change back as long as he controlled the power of his blood, what if he couldn't control it? Moreover... he lay there for a while, then he stretched out his limbs again and tried to stand up.
However, the final result was that he fell down again with a thud.
This feeling of not being able to control his body made No. 2 feel unprecedented uneasiness and fear. He was very scared. What if he couldn't change back?
He had human consciousness, but could only maintain the body of a beast... This situation seemed to be worse than complete bestiality...
The boy who turned into a red flame tiger lay powerlessly on the ground, and for the first time in front of outsiders, he revealed his fragility and helplessness.
He didn't understand why he had to endure such pain... Why was there only suffering and torture in his life...
Maybe he shouldn't fight, maybe turning into a completely irrational beast would be more interesting than such a life? As
the boy thought in despair, he felt a hand gently fall on his head. The boy
slightly closed his eyes and looked at the keeper who had squatted in front of him at some point.
"Meow..." The little tiger's cry was tender and childish, sounding pitiful and aggrieved.
After calling out, No. 2 closed his eyes again, feeling that he had lost interest in everything around him.
He was too tired... Why not just give up...
However, the hand that landed on his head did not let him go. It gently stroked his head, from his head to his neck, and then returned to continue stroking from his head down.
Again and again...
At the beginning, No. 2 felt a little annoyed and wanted to yell at him, but his body really couldn't muster the strength, and he was in a really bad mood, so he simply ignored him.
So, when No. 2 reacted...
he found that he was lying on his back on the ground, not only showing his snow-white belly, but also his two paws were tucked in front of his chest, and the keeper... was gently stroking his chin with his fingers?
When No. 2 realized this, he was stunned.
As a result, he did not react to hide for a while, so the keeper's fingers continued to rub his chin, and he actually... felt quite comfortable?
The boy, who was only in his early teens, felt that his young heart was shaken as never before.
He... what should he do now?
Should he get up and hide immediately, or... pretend that he knew nothing and was dominated by animality to do such a shameful act?
No. 2 felt that he was indeed dominated by animality, because he had no memory of when he turned his body over and exposed his belly to the keeper!
The boy was completely stunned, and Su Ci continued to rub the fur on the tiger cub's chin with an obvious smile on his lips.
A Yan stood aside and watched.
He actually felt the frustration that No. 2 just felt. When he was wondering whether he should speak out to comfort him, he saw Su Su starting to stroke the cat...
To be honest, the smaller Red Flame Tiger looked really good to be stroked.
And...
the little tiger, who originally had a depressed look on his face, slowly squinted his eyes as he was stroked, revealing an expression of comfort and enjoyment. In the end, he even retracted his front paws, revealing his equally furry and particularly soft belly.
Looking at the little tiger's fine and soft white chest hair that looked so good to touch, A Yan also felt a little itchy.
Hey, isn't it enough to grow ears and a tail? Does it have to turn into a furry little animal? A Yan couldn't help but feel distressed.
But after becoming an animal, he couldn't clean the room, cook, or farm, and even less learn the formation...
A Yan thought about it and decided... let's grow the tail out first!
And Su Ci, seeing that the little tiger was fine, withdrew his hand reluctantly - it was still so furry, and it felt so comfortable to rub it. He was
also considerate and didn't expose No. 2 who was pretending to be dead. He stood up and said to A Yan: "I'm going to the activity room first, you and No. 2 stay here."
A Yan nodded obediently.
So, after Su Ci got dressed, he left the dormitory, leaving only A Yan and the transformed No. 2 in the room.
Seeing Su Ci leave, No. 2's stiff body relaxed, but he lay on the ground and still didn't want to open his eyes.
Whenever he thought of what had just happened, he felt that it would be better to just die. What was the point of continuing to live such a life?
Under multiple blows, No. 2 decided to give up.
However, sometimes he couldn't give up just because he wanted to.
Because...
"Do you want to eat?"
The still very unfamiliar boy's voice rang in No. 2's ears. At the same time, he smelled the rich fragrance again, so close.
The little tiger couldn't help but open his eyes.
Then, he saw a small plate placed in front of him, with a piece of steaming barbecue on it. The strong spicy aroma made him swallow his saliva again.
The little tiger raised his head and looked forward with his red eyes, but he didn't see anyone. However, he knew that there was another person in the room.
"Eat it." The voice sounded again.
The little tiger suddenly felt relieved. He hesitated for a moment, but still leaned over, opened his mouth, and bit the piece of barbecue into his mouth.
When he really tasted the barbecue, he couldn't help but squint his eyes, revealing an expression full of enjoyment.
It was the first time for him to eat something so delicious!
What is this? He opened his eyes, and there was a questioning look in his eyes.
"This is meat." A Yan replied, "Do you remember that giant spider? Does it taste good?"
The little tiger's face showed a look of realization.
So this is meat...
So, the giant spider was killed? Was it... killed by the keeper?
Then, he heard A Yan ask, "Do you want to eat more?"
Number Two swallowed unconsciously. The piece of meat was too small for his current size, and he couldn't eat enough, but... he didn't ask for more.
Of course, A Yan wasn't going to give it to him.
"If you want to eat, you have to help with the work."
A Yan said, "Although I don't know when you can recover your original appearance, but don't worry, Su Su said it's okay, so it won't be a problem."
Listening to his always peaceful voice, Number Two felt much better, and he didn't know why, after eating the barbecue, he didn't feel so sad.
It seems...his life is not that bad.
At least when he was most desperate, someone finally reached out to him. Of course, that helping hand also rubbed him after he was completely transformed into a beast...
Thinking of the scene of him holding his head just now, No. 2 couldn't help but hold his head.
At this time, he felt a hand much smaller than the keeper's, gently falling on his head and patting it comfortingly.
"You should sleep for a while." A Yan said, "You need to rest now."
A Yan, who finally couldn't help but rub the big cat, withdrew his hand with satisfaction, then flashed to his small table, moved a chair and sat on it.
He started to study formations and divine texts today again.
Number Two could feel him leaving his side, and then he looked at the movement on the small table. He lay there for a while
, and then he could not help but force himself to stand up, and slowly moved to a place not far from the small table. Then, he lay down again.
Although he could not see Number One, he felt inexplicably relieved when he looked at the small table not far away.
In his always lonely world, it seemed that something had changed...
After Number Two lay down, he could no longer hold on, and slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep. He needed to relieve his body fatigue through sleep.
When the Red Flame Tiger approached, A Yan only glanced at it and continued to practice.
Since I can't turn into a small animal, I can only work harder in other places, so that I can firmly attract Su Su's attention and become Su Su's favorite one!
At this moment, Su Ci has come to the activity room and started to teach the three children to play the flute.
Number six did not come out today, but the little monkey quietly ran into the activity room when Xiao Langze and the others were practicing playing the flute, hiding in the corner and peeking.
Su Ci can feel that the little monkey's spirit is more solid than before.
I don't know whether this is good or bad for number six...
In addition to number six, the two siblings number four and number five have not come out since they returned to the room yesterday.
On the fourth floor of the nursery, in room number four.
When 4586 brought breakfast, No. 4 opened his eyes. He saw his sister still sleeping in the small bed opposite him, so he got out of bed quietly and came to the door of the room.
The door of the room opened, and before 4586 could say hello, the young boy stopped it.
He picked up a lunch box in one hand, and did not let the nanny robot come in. Instead, he took the lunch box into the room and put it away. Then he returned to his small bed and continued to fall asleep.
It was not until around eight o'clock and almost nine o'clock that he woke up in a daze.
On the small bed opposite, No. 5 had also woken up and was sitting on the small bed rubbing her eyes. When she saw No. 4 sitting up, she called softly, "Brother..."
"Well, did you sleep well?"
No. 4 walked over and touched her head. Looking at the little girl in front of him, feeling the peace at the moment, he felt as if he was still dreaming.
Obviously, he was locked in a cold room yesterday...
"Brother, I'm hungry." No. 5 reached out and hugged him, and acted coquettishly in a soft baby voice.
"Go wash up first, and then eat."
"Okay~"
Realizing that her brother really came back, No. 5 grinned happily, climbed out of bed obediently, and went to brush his teeth and wash his face with his brother, and then came back to eat.
"Brother, I missed you so much when you were away for a few days."
Number Five picked up the star chain fruit that had fallen in the corner. "This is the fruit that was distributed. I haven't eaten any of it. Here, I give it to you."
She kept the ones with broken skin for herself, but Number Four quickly snatched them away. "Don't eat them if they're rotten. Eat this."
He carried the little girl to a chair, helped her open her plate, watched her start to eat, then took out a comb from the cupboard and began to comb her hair.
"What kind of braid do you want today?"
"I like anything my brother braids for me!"
Number Four smiled and continued to help her comb her messy hair. Then he remembered something and asked, "What happened to the brooding during the few days I was away?"
