By noon, Lin Xianfu once again noticed a strong change in addition to his eyes and ears.
Intense hunger suddenly welled up from the abdomen and quickly spread over all the organs of the body; the saliva in the mouth quickened its secretion, the tongue felt sore, and the throat felt an itch, as if millions of ants were crawling inside the body.
Only one thought remained in the restless mind at this point: want to eat raw meat, with blood, the freshest...! Lin Xianfu covered his mouth and gasped for air, bouncing off the bed in shock.
He had never imagined that the original hunger was so tormenting that he almost gave in to his desire to find raw meat to devour!
--And this, too, was only the first step in harnessing the beast.
Lin Xianfu, who couldn't sit still, rolled over and got out of bed, opened the refrigerator to look at the remaining material inside, and cooked himself a simple egg-boiled noodles with a few pieces of chicken breast mixed in.
As soon as the noodles were in his mouth, he understood why that night that werewolf said he didn't eat food other than raw meat.
Simply because, he couldn't taste it.
The abnormality of his body created a change in his sense of taste as well, and he couldn't eat any flavor from food that had been cooked over an open fire. Even the few pieces of chicken breast that belonged to meat tasted dry and flavorless.
But he frowned, pinched his nose and finished eating it raw.
After eating, the feeling of fullness in his stomach was not satisfied in any way. On the contrary, it also intensified the change, and that feeling of hunger raged even more.
He couldn't help but look inside the refrigerator, the meat that was bought back during the special time in the market the day before and placed in the freshness bit of the refrigerator, and his throat rolled for a while ....
"Want to eat...!"
Desire drove him, briefly taking control of his sanity. He dully reached out his hand and picked up the piece of meat that still had some blood on it.
The aroma emitted by the meat to his mouth satisfied the hunger in his abdomen a little, all that was left was to open his mouth and put it in his mouth to alleviate the feeling. And open his mouth he did ....
--Today succumbing to the desire to eat frozen meat to alleviate hunger, tomorrow must not eat raw meat to satisfy the desire, the day after tomorrow is it necessary to eat human flesh to satisfy the craving?
The so-called depravity is a gradual process that begins at a certain point.
If one fails to guard even the beginning, how can one talk about the future?
He stopped his movements and couldn't help but torture his own heart: what difference is there between this behavior of giving in to desire and a junkie sucking on DU?
Wasn't it only then that he had resolved to fight against animal lust and maintain his sanity? Then what is this doing now? Lin Xianfu woke up with a start, and with his tenacious reasoning he kept the meat away from his mouth.
"A mere feeling of hunger is nothing! Don't underestimate my tolerance level!"
"Bang!" Lin Xianfu put the meat back, decisively closed the refrigerator door, packed up the dishes, and walked into the washroom where he took a shower and turned on the cold water to vigorously pour it on his body.
Earlier, when he first came back, he had if anything captured the idea that when exposed to cold water, it seemed to calm himself down, or at least, make that abnormality briefly suppressed.
The effect was very obvious, when he touched et cold water, his throat stopped itching, and his abdomen wasn't as uncomfortable.
Ha, it seemed that something inside was afraid of water. It was kind of like rabies in that respect, being afraid of water and light.
Only the more similar thing is that they both seem to be terminal diseases with no cure ....
Can't think about it anymore. Lin Xianfu shook his head, discarding those timid thoughts.
After ten minutes of cold water irrigation, that feeling of hunger subsided for the most part, Lin Xianfu drank another large cup of cold water and laid down on the bed with nothing to do, staring at the ceiling.
According to the usual rest days, Lin Xianfu would cook for himself, spending time to cook two well-prepared lunches and dinners.
Then indoor fitness, or playing games to kill time. And the day would be over.
But that was only before, now he was not in that mood, the feeling of his life hanging in the balance at all times made him feel uneasy and unmotivated to do anything else.
Appointment time for the hospital is tomorrow at 9:00, lying in bed fidgeting Lin Xianfu suddenly remembered as if he had not yet asked for leave, and hastily flipped out his cell phone and dialed the clinic, with the excuse that he was not feeling well, and that he had caught a bit of a cold after getting caught in the rain last night, and that he would need to go to the hospital tomorrow to see and get some medication.
Well, it's not really an excuse, it's true that I don't feel well, just not because I have a cold.
The clinic side of the approval quickly, after all, sufficient manpower, Lin Xianfu feel that he came or not actually does not matter.
Notably, when the phone would hang up, the person from the clinic asked suspiciously, ''Ah Fu, just now someone came to the clinic twice, the second time they were looking for someone, saying that they wanted to meet the person who stayed at the clinic yesterday. Aratsui said he didn't recognize them, could they be your friends?"
The unexpected words caused Lin Xianfu's pupils to shrink, being in a sensitive period he couldn't afford to hear this right now.
Friends? Impossible, every day he stayed at home in this side does not have a few friends, even if it is the old home side of the friend, will call in advance to their own right.
The other party is probably here to find me. Could it be the companion of that monster from last night? Because it couldn't see it back, it came looking for it?
Lin Xianfu didn't move and inquired about the identity characteristics of the person looking for him.
The other party replied, "It's two men, dressed very plainly, one wearing a mask and not knowing what he looks like, listening to the voice is very young. The other is a middle-aged man wearing black gloves, estimated to be in his forties."
".... Did they ask me where I live?" Lin Xianfu deliberated for a moment, but still asked.
"No, they came and left in a hurry, they didn't even leave their names."
"Oh."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xianfu fell into thought: how to respond?
Those two people were quite purposeful, they were looking for the person who stayed at the clinic last night. Would this possibly be that monster's companion? Lin Xianfu felt it was unlikely.
That guy's state looked so crazy that he was struggling to even communicate, did he really possess the possibility of companionship?
Then if it wasn't its companion, who else could it be? Lin Xianfu tapped his index finger on the desktop, and after thinking carefully, a guess steeply came to mind.
In TV dramas, in movies, in illustrated stories, as long as there were elements where monsters existed, there would correspondingly be organizations dedicated to dealing with them, and these organizations had official backgrounds, or no backgrounds, and the only thing they had in common was that their group members were all very strong.
--Since there were things that existed in the world as monsters, and since Lin Xianfu had not been able to discover their existence in his twenty years of life, I'm afraid that the only thing that could explain this was that there was someone or a force that was hiding their existence from the world.
In other words, behind the surface of world peace, there were people who specialized in dealing with such matters. They are generally called "hunters", maybe not in reality, but they all mean the same thing.
Now, these hunters had found the werewolf's trail for some unknown reason, and had finally locked onto Lin Xianfu's body...
"Thinking about it like that, it seems a bit bad."
Because, Lin Xianfu is now, probably, possibly, maybe, or perhaps, a werewolf-like existence as well ....
In case he encountered these guys and was attacked as a monster, it would be too wrong, he was a good citizen!
