Monster?

A girl in battle armor stood with her back to the crowd, her hands crossed over her chest as she leaned against a brain-like object.

She couldn’t hold it in any longer… So hungry… I want to eat!

The girl looked at the brain in her hand, the black pupils of her eyes dilating into slender slits.

“Hahaha… hou…” A hoarse roar… she let out a strange sound, making her seem somewhat pitiful.

So hungry…

An indescribable whisper echoed once more in her ear, and Ping Chengcheng’s tightened fists trembled slightly.

“Scream! Don’t hold back anymore!”

Her line of sight swept across the surrounding people, many of whom had already fled.

She did not want this! She could still use the grappling hook on her wrist to get away from these people.

Hearing the girl’s words, the surrounding people were terrified.

They looked at the girl in her battle armor, and at the grappling hook on her shoulder.

They had all connected her to the new girl who had just arrived.

“Quick, look! That person, she looks just like Miss Ping!”

“Don’t you run! The one in the news is real?”

A group of people surged forward, their burning gazes fixed on the girl.

“Are you looking for death?” Ping Chengcheng felt a chill run down her spine.

She was just a little bit away from completely losing control.

‘…No… it’s not anger, she now… how did she become like this!’

How terrifying! But also, how pitiful!

Her violent consciousness was raging in her mind like a beast.

“Don’t… Miss… Miss! Where are you…”

A cry seemed to come from her soul.

“Let me go, don’t block the way!”

A low, muffled sound, carrying an oppressive aura, spread out.

“Everyone, get down!”

The news of the girl being cornered reached Lu Linyuan’s ears at once.

He had a bad feeling. The relationship between him and the girl was not good. He didn’t want anything to happen to her within his sphere of influence.

But now, it seemed Ping Chengcheng’s situation was not good, which was why Lu Linyuan was so…

At this moment, dozens of burly men in combat gear roughly shoved aside the crowd, escorting Shen Mengyuan to Ping Chengcheng’s side.

Shen Mengyuan looked at the girl, who was trembling, curled up on the ground, and gritting her teeth.

She was a little frightened.

What’s wrong with Miss Ping?

Her consciousness was slightly restored; “Mmm… I can still hold on.”

With a small hand, she gently pulled on the corner of the crowd in front of her.

The girl struggled out from under the protection of the combat team.

With a painful expression, she sat in the driver’s seat. A wave of heart-wrenching pain made her want to go home.

‘Will I become a monster?’

“Let me go home… I want to see Song Ning…”

With a kick that sent sparks flying, Shen Mengyuan stepped on the gas.

“Home.”

‘The desire for fresh blood is controlled by the desire for home.’

‘Can I still make it?’

Today is my sister’s birthday… she wants to go home!

The sky was overcast, and the dark clouds lingered. The cyan ground had some ruts on it.

The wheels of the off-road vehicle had run over a girl’s arm. She had lost all strength and could only shrink into a small ball, panting weakly under the support of her will.

The car finally stopped in front of a three-story villa. Shen Mengyuan got out.

With a slight creak of the cold wind blowing, the girl’s consciousness cleared slightly.

She jumped down from the driver’s seat with a listless look.

Before Shen Mengyuan could react, she had already disappeared into the direction of the villa’s entrance.

“Hey! How did you get like this!?”

Shen Mengyuan pursued her from behind.

“Never mind that! Just suppress your variant instinct first!”

The girl, who had just managed to stand up, was violently pushed down to the ground by Shen Mengyuan.

“Ha… haha…” a coarse gasp.

‘So hungry, it’s like I’m being pricked by a needle!’

‘I’m so hungry… will this girl… will she not be able to control herself?’

Shen Mengyuan looked at the girl with the disheveled hair.

She roughly held down the girl’s arms, then turned her over, pinning her to her back.

She felt something light, but very heavy. She returned to the guest room and sat on a Zhang Qian-style sofa.

She opened the ice pack she was holding. Inside were several bottles of red liquid, which was a drink.

A puff of cold air was transmitted to the girl’s consciousness.

Hiss~

Roar!

A beast-like roar came from the girl’s throat, her blood-red eyes flashing.

Shen Mengyuan shuddered. She felt the girl’s gaze and felt as if Ping Chengcheng was looking at her, treating her as food.

She felt the girl in front of her turn into a monster in an instant. Her two slender hands quickly grabbed onto her wrist.

“If we drink them together, it should be fine.”

Shen Mengyuan confirmed that Ping Chengcheng was probably a variant, so she collected a few bottles of blood plasma to prevent emergencies, and even made some special arrangements.

Ping Chengcheng finally quieted down, her head buried in Shen Mengyuan’s chest.

Shen Mengyuan gently stroked her hair, her hands unconsciously stroking the blood…

?

‘Sister… do you like monsters like me?’

‘But if they taste it, they will definitely say they are delicious, and then they will completely degenerate into a monster!’

‘I drank this blood… will I also change? Just a little bit… just a little bit will do…’

Drip~

Drip~

The fresh blood dripped down. The metallic tang dispersed in her mouth, and that unique sweet smell gradually dissipated.

But her heart was still left with something.

Her body seemed to undergo some kind of change.

Ping Chengcheng’s pupils relaxed slightly, returning to a more normal appearance.

‘Thank you for your hospitality.’

‘Unexpectedly, these things were actually prepared.’

Shen Mengyuan breathed a sigh of relief, slumping weakly onto Ping Chengcheng’s back.

“Why… why did you suddenly become like this?” This was Lu Linyuan’s bitter question.

“Although my answer might be a little unexpected, I think…”

“…the reason for my desire to restrain myself from monsters is because I was forced to drink blood.”

“That taste… it’s like a switch…”

“I never used to be like this, but recently, I feel like I’m becoming more and more like a monster.”

‘A monster?’

‘What should I do? If she completely degenerates into a monster, will she still be able to live with Song Ning?’

‘Looking at it now, if she becomes a monster, she might even hurt Song Ning…’

‘…Why?’

‘Why was Chengcheng reborn, and why must she face losing herself?’

‘That laboratory in A City that Ping Chengcheng attaches great importance to… I must go… there, maybe I can find a solution to these problems!’
