Ghoul

Ruan Lin looked at Fang Xiaowei whose expression was distorted due to pain or other reasons, and he put down his fingers to pinch Fang Xiaowei's chin, "Sorry." He said, and then paused for a while, "You are hungry, I will help you You cook." After speaking, without waiting for Fang Xiaowei to answer, he left the room with a cloth bag.

Fang Xiaowei was sitting on the bed, his jaw was screaming and hurting, even if he didn't need to look, he knew that his jaw must be red now, and after a while, it would probably be bruised——

You will also turn into a zombie, just like being bitten by a zombie.

Ruan Lin's words kept echoing in Fang Xiaowei's head. If he ate the heart of a zombie, other people would become zombies too. Ruan Lin was a hunter, so he had already discovered it. The moment to eat the heart... wait? !

Fang Xiaowei almost fell off the bed. If he remembers correctly, Brother Ruan also ate it, so... Fang Xiaowei could no longer care about the pain in his shoulder. Ruan Lin.

"You should rest." Ruan Lin, who had his back to Fang Xiaowei, said, his movements were neither fast nor slow, and his voice was very steady, as if it was not surprising that Fang Xiaowei would come to him.

Facing Ruan Lin like this, Fang Xiaowei swallowed, and he slowly approached Ruan Lin.His naked upper body was cold, which made Fang Xiaowei get goosebumps all over his body as he approached slowly. He slowly approached Ruan Lin, and finally stopped one meter away from Ruan Lin, "You just said that once someone eats It’s like being bitten by them.” He opened his mouth with some difficulty, hesitating for something in his heart, and finally he said, “And you ate it too, when we first met.”

"...If I remember correctly, you fed me when I was unconscious." Ruan Lin suddenly stopped what he was doing, and looked back at Fang Xiaowei, half of his body was hidden under the cabinet. In the shadows, Fang Xiaowei couldn't see his expression clearly even if he widened his eyes.

"Uh... that's right." Fang Xiaowei had to admit that he had indeed done that, "but you also ate it later." When he said this, he realized that this was not the point, so he said, "I think That's not what you're asking."

"Then what do you want to ask?" Ruan Lin leaned on the cooking table and asked, "Am I human?"

"No." Ruan Lin said, "I'm not human." He slowly walked out of the shadows and handed the contents of the plate to Fang Xiaowei, "Just like you think, I'm not human."

The things on the plate are of course the hearts of those zombies, but after Ruan Lin's cooking at this moment, the original shape can no longer be seen. The moment Fang Xiaowei saw this thing, his stomach that had been neglected by him growled again , he hurriedly took a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, then chewed and looked at Ruan Lin, "Then what are you?" He asked.

"Go out and talk." Ruan Lin took Fang Xiaowei to the chair in the living room and sat down. He didn't walk over until Fang Xiaowei finished eating the plate, and looked at the wound on Fang Xiaowei's shoulder, " In a few days, the wound on your shoulder will heal," he said.

Fang Xiaowei nodded, and was about to ask something when he suddenly noticed something was wrong——

He couldn't smell Ruan Lin's body anymore.

Whether it was blood or anything else, he couldn't smell it anymore.

He suddenly started to breathe, but found that just like what he discovered just now, he couldn't smell anything. Obviously Ruan Lin was so close to him, but he couldn't smell the blood on his body at all.

"Can't you smell it?" Ruan Lin asked Fang Xiaowei's movements.

Fang Xiaowei looked up at him, "How do you know?"

"You have begun to evolve." Ruan Lin dragged the chair in front of Fang Xiaowei, "It started with the sense of taste, then the sense of smell... Then you will find that your sense of hearing and vision will also gradually disappear." His voice remained the same Very soft, just like the tone of the countless times before, the rough movements and aggressive attitude before, just like a dream, if it wasn't for Fang Xiaowei's jaw, it is still aching now, he Maybe I also thought that the previous ones were all my own hallucinations.

Fang Xiaowei suddenly discovered that Ruan Lin may never have been as gentle and harmless as he appeared on the outside, and the chilling intention that he occasionally showed was his essence.

"Haven't you ever thought about it? Why do you want to eat the heart of a zombie? This kind of thing is not delicious at all." Ruan Lin asked softly. Instead of looking at Fang Xiaowei, he looked at his own finger, as if it was Something wonderful is going on.

Of course Fang Xiaowei thought about this, but his idea was very simple - he has become a new thing, so he needs to eat new food - just like zombies cannibalizing people, he just eats the heart of zombies.

He couldn't figure out Ruan Lin's intentions, so he told Ruan Lin his simple thoughts.Hearing Fang Xiaowei's words, Ruan Lin showed a smile on his face. This smile was not ironic, nor was it mocking Fang Xiaowei's ideas. Instead, it was a bit of approval, "It's very good." He said, "Many times, There are some things that people just overcomplicate."

"You too?" Fang Xiaowei stared at Ruan Lin and asked, but Ruan Lin had been staring at his fingers, so Fang Xiaowei couldn't see his expression clearly. He suddenly remembered the first time he met Ruan Lin, Ruan Lin The scene of falling in the crowd of zombies—until now, he suddenly understood where his sense of disobedience came from.

How could Ruan Lin, who is so powerful, be so embarrassed by these zombies? Maybe other people can't do anything about the tide of zombies, but Fang Xiaowei knows that this definitely does not include Ruan Lin.

The speed of his running, plus the efficiency of killing zombies when swinging a knife, will not make him fall into the tide of zombies at all-just like when encountering a wave of zombies, he has the strength to escape without being so embarrassing.

Fang Xiaowei looked at Ruan Lin, "Did you lie to me when we first met?" He asked.

Ruan Lin's movements paused at this moment, he looked up at Fang Xiaowei, and finally nodded, "I lied to you." He said.

"So you encountered a wave of zombies when you were on a mission with others?" Fang Xiaowei asked with a frown.

"I encountered a wave of zombies, but it was five years ago." Ruan Lin said, "I didn't lie to you, I just hid for a little time."

"Then what about the base? You let me go to Base No. [-]." Fang Xiaowei's upper body couldn't help straightening up in Ruan Lin's direction because of Ruan Lin's words. He looked at Ruan Lin, as if he wanted to see what was going on in the man's head. What, "You told me to go to the No. [-] base, and you lied to me by acting like you could come to me if you have something to do in the future?"

Ruan Lin was silent for a moment, and finally nodded.

Fang Xiaowei sighed, he looked at Ruan Lin, this beauty was still sitting there like the first time he saw him, like a painting, but he found that he seemed to have never understood Ruan Lin Lin, he didn't know much about Ruan Lin, how old he was, where he came from, why he became a hunter... He didn't know any of these, all he knew was——

Ruan Lin is very good-looking, and Ruan Lin has a high force value.

"Why?" Fang Xiaowei couldn't help asking, if Ruan Lin was afraid that he would find out that he was not human, then what is the difference between them, they are not human, and no one would hurt anyone, "You were at that time Do you know I'm not human anymore?" He asked.

"I'll know when I wake up." Ruan Lin replied.

"Isn't it because of eating zombies?" Fang Xiaowei asked.

Ruan Lin shook his head, "Because I can smell the cubs."

Cub?what is that?Fang Xiaowei was confused, and then suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to know what Ruan Lin was until now, "What are you?" He asked.

"Same as you." Ruan Lin replied.

as same as him?Fang Xiaowei looked at himself, so Ruan Lin is also the same creature as him?

"You said you are the same as me?" Fang Xiaowei pointed at himself with a funny expression, "I eat hearts, but you don't." He still remembers how disgusted he was every time he asked Ruan Lin to eat these things. The appearance of willingness, now Ruan Lin said they are a kind of thing?What are you kidding?

"I also eat." Ruan Lin touched his stomach, this hunger surrounds him all the time, from five years ago to now, he has not been full for a single day.

"You eat too?" Fang Xiaowei frowned. Of course he knew how terrible this feeling of hunger was, but Ruan Lin said that he also needed to eat this kind of food, so he was always hungry?

Fang Xiaowei looked at Ruan Lin in disbelief, as if he was a lunatic.

"I've been hungry." Ruan Lin seemed to see the emotion in Fang Xiaowei's eyes, he looked at his stomach, "From five years ago to now, every day, this hunger is like a curse, lingering By my side, there is no retreat for a moment."

"...Why?" Fang Xiaowei looked at Ruan Lin's firm expression, and said slowly, he didn't understand why Ruan Lin would rather go hungry than eat these hearts.

"Why?" Ruan Lin smiled, this smile is no longer the gentleness that he concealed, but the original madness and cruelty stripped of the expression, he smiled for a while, until he saw Fang Xiaowei's frightened expression Only then did he withdraw his smile, "Because only in this way can I always remind myself of my purpose and position."

"What's your purpose?" Fang Xiaowei asked.

"I told you." Ruan Lin said.

Fang Xiaowei searched hard in his memory, and finally found some information, "You mean..." He looked at Ruan Lin with a funny expression because he was so surprised——

He still remembered that after they hunted sea beasts, Ruan Lin and him talked about their thoughts for the first time in the tavern at the base.

At that time, he asked Ruan Lin why he didn't form his own forces, and Ruan Lin said that his ambition was not here.

Fang Xiaowei still remembers Ruan Lin's answer when he asked Ruan Lin.

He says--

He wants to protect humans.

This is his purpose and answer.
