21. Distortion!
The night sky tonight is particularly clear.
The moonlight is bright and it is a good scene.
The children and carers in the orphanage were awakened by a clear and terrifying howl.
After discovering that the howling of the wolf came from the dean's bedroom, he fell into a deeper panic.
Anle looked at the old dean in front of her, and her face was not good-looking either.
He was really unsure of—
Is this existence in front of him still the old dean he is familiar with?
More and more hairs emerged from the already werewolf-like old man, almost wrapping him up, like a legendary zombie in the deep mountains and forests.
One after another, the bulge suddenly bulged all over his body, and was still squirming strangely.
It makes people wonder if there are living worms moving under that skin.
The weird distortion is much more than that.
"Hiss--"
The old dean's flesh and blood were torn apart by itself, and blood splattered.
It's not much harder than tearing a piece of white paper.
Among them are fresh granulation, entangled, gathered together, and rushed out one after another.
Granulation mixes into lush hair, forming a thing that feels disgusting just by seeing.
The old dean's eyes were not as clear and rational as before, and only tyranny and chaos were left, emitting a dark red harsh light.
What I really want to say is actually very similar to the dirty blood beast.
This series of changes came extremely suddenly.
Just after the old dean said that, he quickly became like this.
"Old Dean?"
Anle tentatively spoke, trying to recall his reason.
Unfortunately, the only one claw full of blood and hair was responding to him.
The "old dean" rushed straight at him.
The sound of the wind whistled past Anle's ears, with a strong smell of blood.
He avoided the attack in time, and did not intend to continue to defend himself. He pulled out the crowbar that had been prepared long ago, and struck hard on the back of the "old dean".
The current state of the "old dean" does not seem to be based on his original intention.
Therefore, Anle did not attack his vitals as soon as he came up.
The blessing brought by [Boiled Blood] and the gain of [Bossful Believer Body-Forging Technique] make the power of Anle at this moment reach an exaggeration.
Even a piece of steel plate can probably be penetrated.
As soon as the crowbar touches the thick hair, it will be entangled by it and encounter extremely strong resistance.
In the end, although he still hit the flesh and blood wrapped in the hair, his lethality was greatly reduced, and he could only barely cut a wound three or four centimeters deep.
In just two breaths, the wound was quickly filled with granulation that poured out, which seemed to be nothing. Instead, it stimulated the "old dean" to become fierce, and instead took a step further towards a completely frenzied attitude.
‘It’s hard to deal with.’
Anle quickly came to this conclusion.
According to his usual personality, when encountering such an enemy, he will definitely consider escaping as soon as possible.
But now, but in an orphanage!
He ran away, what should the children do?
He has no choice but to retreat!
Thinking of this, Anle once again called on the power of blood.
The blood flow rate increases again and the temperature rises.
[Boiling Blood] is gradually used to the maximum power, and a continuous stream of power flows out of the body.
Blood-red steam surging.
The silver moonlight shines down.
At this moment, happiness bathes in it, like a god.
The "old dean" witnessed this scene and suddenly stopped and did not dare to pounce on him again.
This is the first time it has revealed a little bit of fear or two in madness.
And at this moment, the remaining reason of the old dean seemed to have finally seized this ray of opportunity.
A little bit of Qingming appeared in his eyes again.
Although there is still a long way to get rid of madness, the distortion on his body has stopped for a while.
"Happy..."
The old dean squeezed out a few words from his teeth with great difficulty.
Just saying these fragmented words made his face distorted, as if he was suffering tremendous pain.
"I... leave first..."
"Suppress...distortion..."
After saying this, the old dean ran out of the room and left the orphanage directly.
Judging from the direction he left, maybe he was heading for that abandoned city?
It was not until the hairy figure disappeared under the moonlight that Anle completely believed that he chose to leave.
This change once again exceeded the expectation of peace.
But it also made him feel relieved.
To be honest, Anle is not sure that she can kill the old dean in this state.
And if a big war really breaks out, it may affect the children in the orphanage.
That's the worst case.
And Anle also has some speculations about the sudden distortion of the old dean.
This world does have great extraordinary abilities, but it is different from most extraordinary abilities in novels and movies on Earth in the past.
The extraordinary abilities here are relatively... weird?
What is strange is not the ability itself, but the price that may be paid for using ability.
There are often news that -
——A extraordinary person was killed on the spot after being distorted.
——The extraordinary person who is good at controlling fire spontaneously burned and died at home.
——A extraordinary man suddenly went crazy when he witnessed a painting, turning into a monster and killing his companions.
There are many such news.
According to the textbooks in the orphanage.
Extraordinary abilities are essentially the spirit and soul interfere with reality, and in the process of interference, it is easy to touch some invisible factors that are invisible - the textbooks are described as "indescribable".
Once you are infected with them and infect them, the spirit of the extraordinary will fall into madness and the body will become distorted.
There is another saying.
It means that knowledge itself has a certain poisonous nature. The more taboo knowledge a extraordinary person knows, the more toxic it accumulates, the more likely it is to "poison" and encounter the backlash of knowledge.
No matter what the statement is.
There is no doubt that the old dean has suddenly distorted and temporarily turned into a monster-like existence.
Yes, it is "temporary".
Distortion is not irreversible or suppressed, it is just very difficult.
Since the old dean can temporarily recover his rationality and say that kind of thing to Anle, it means that he still has some backup plan.
It is likely to be restored to its original state.
This kind of thing can only be said to be "high probability" and cannot be completely guaranteed.
‘I just don’t know, is Lingxi still okay now?’
Even though the old dean said "rest assured" to Anle, as if he wanted to show that Lingxi was safe and sound, he had not yet fully trusted the other party and was still a little worried.
After tonight, Anle had a strong impulse.
——If the tentacles extract filthy and reason can directly act on living people.
If the "filthy sanity" is removed, the old dean should be able to return to normal, right?
This kind of thought can only exist in Anle's mind at present.
Looking at the children running out of the room, and the panic on their faces.
