Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Lower Bound

Babi shook his head desperately, "No!" He stood up trembling, grasping the handrail tightly, and a layer of tiny beads of sweat appeared on his cold skin.He exhaled hard, resisting weakly, "I don't believe it." "You will believe it," said the she-wolf with a cheerful smile. "You will believe it once you regain your strength. Our ancestors' special abilities always wake up very slowly—usually, the slower the more powerful. These abilities Lurking inside, unused, undetected, covered by overt human genes until they awaken themselves, or are awakened by an expert like Asher Gran. Your father was too blunt to explain to Rowena It has led to the rebellion of the earth's human element."

Babi trembled and sat down on the edge of the bed again. "I won't be—your black savior!" he insisted in a cowardly whisper, "that—that's insanity. Anyway, I don't believe you! I don't even believe you're here, I'm the one who drank too much Whiskey!" He shook his fist threateningly, "Get out of here—or I'll scream." "Call, bark." The she-wolf sneered at him calmly, her beautiful ears straightened. "My mental network isn't as strong as yours—Nurse Heller can't see me." Babi didn't yell. He sat on the edge of the bed for a full two minutes, looking at the she-wolf motionlessly, looking at the shining eyes, full of expectation.If all was hallucinations and delirium brought on by alcoholism, she would still be a vivid, elegant and sly vision.

"You followed me all the way from Preston tonight?" he asked the she-wolf suddenly angrily. "I know you're there—in another form, I suppose. I saw your white fur coat, And the brooch of the running Jade Wolf, on his chair." "So what?" She blinked her green eyes and smiled sarcastically, "I was waiting for you, Baby." "I saw your portrait in his bedroom." Babi said in a trembling voice, "and I saw him open the door and enter your apartment by himself. What is his relationship with you, Ai Pulu?" The she-wolf laughed softly again, and ran towards Babi with small deft steps, and put her snow-white paws on his trembling knee. Her long green eyes were like human eyes—it was Ai Pulu She seemed to be full of passion, excitement, a little irony, and tears in her eyes.

"So you're always trying to avoid me tonight, Babe, aren't you?" Babi whispered hoarsely, "Maybe." "So that's what happened!" She raised her cool nose and couldn't help kissing him, "You fool, jealous! I told you, we're a special kind, you and me, Babi.Our lives have a special purpose.It's too bad if you don't like me. " He kissed her back, still angry, and asked stiffly, "Where did Preston Tee come from?" "It's my father." She deliberately teased him, looking at him puzzled and surprised, "I told you about my childhood, and the ignorant and rough farmer who was my father, it's true—I told you You, he is not my biological father, and you know he is not."

The White She-Wolf glanced teasingly at Babi. "You see, Mother used to be Preston's secretary before she married the farmer, and she could visit him whenever she wanted. The farmer was suspicious—that's why he believed me so easily, and that's why he was so cruel. punish me. He doesn't like my red hair at all," As she reminisces, she giggles. "But Preston was always so generous," she said, "of course he couldn't marry his mother—he had too many secretaries. But he used to send us money, odd gifts to California—mysterious Aunt Agatha, my mother would tell me, before I knew about Preston.Preston did a lot for me after my mother died - he even paid for my psychiatrist at Glenhaven. ’ Her green eyes glanced contemptuously at Bobby. “That’s why you’re jealous, Bobby?” "

Babi hesitated, stroking the she-wolf's silky fur with sweaty fingers. "I suppose so," he said hoarsely. "Anyway, I'm glad—" Before he finished speaking, the lights came on, the door swung open, and Nurse Heller poked her head in through the crack of the door with a reproachful look on her face. "Really, Mr. Bobby!" Her voice startled Bobby. "You'll catch a cold if you sit on the edge of the bed all night and talk to yourself. Let me get you covered, Go to sleep." She said, walking towards Babi, and the white she-wolf twisted Nurse Heller's strong ankle. "Oh, what is this?" She looked at the grinning she-wolf, she didn't seem to see anything, her voice was a little trembling, but she still said to Babi sternly: "When I come back with the needle, if you haven't If you go to bed—"

"You don't need to go to bed." The she-wolf watched Nurse Heller go out, turned her head and told Babi, "Because we should go." "Where are you going?" he asked anxiously. "Go and take care of your old friend Sam Quinn," said April Bell cheerfully. "He is about to escape from Pike. The water blocked them. The mountain road that Sam was going to go is Unbeknownst to Officer Pike, he's walking away with that wooden box that contains the only weapon that can hurt you, Babe, and we've got to stop him before he learns how to use a weapon.

I feel a link of probability that we can hold on to when the time comes. " Babi clenched his fists stubbornly. "I'll never hurt Sam," he said sullenly, "not even if I'm bewitched!" "But you're not bewitched, Babi." The white she-wolf gently rubbed Babi's knees with her silky-smooth fur, "You still don't realize that you are one of us? - completely, because of the last bit of restraint in your humanity, It's been cracked tonight on Sardis Hill." "Ah?" He sat on the edge of the bed, winking at the she-wolf, "What do you mean?"

"Don't you feel your wonderful special powers, Bobby?" She looked up at Bobby, and said jokingly, "I will let you know when I get to Sardis Hill." She nodded, "Now it's time to go gone." Babi sat still. "I can't believe I'm the Dark Child," he said deadpan. "I'm not going to hurt Sam anyway!" "Come on." The she-wolf whispered, "I'll talk about it after you read it." "No!" Babi was shivering with cold, and grabbed the iron railing of the bed with all his strength, "I can never be like that—the devil!"

"You are our leader, Willie!" The female wolf said to him tenderly, "The new patriarch who will fight for our lost supremacy for a long time-until a stronger clan emerges. You and I are the most successful in all ages. In the children who have our genes, There will be fewer human traits." The she-wolf landed on all fours, playfully biting Babi's knee. "Let's go." Babi still refused, but his clenched fingers loosened from the edge of the bed, and the eccentric desire to grow wings as powerful as the pterodactyl was rekindled in his heart, and this desire quickly turned into a wild and unrestrained desire. action.His body floated and swelled, and the shapeshifting was so much easier now, all the discomfort and pain was gone, and the shapeshifting gave him a new, wild, great power.

The female wolf beside her also changed, her whole body quickly receded towards her hind legs, gradually getting taller, her fluffy red hair fluttering behind her bare shoulders.Babi eagerly put her on his solid dragon wings, and kissed her cool, soft lips with his huge dinosaur mouth.She laughed happily, and coquettishly slapped his head covered with thick scales. "Let's go to another date first." She slid her chin and folded her wings, and jumped onto his scaly back. "Go on a date with Chance and your old friend Sam." Babi looked at the window with the steel mesh, and the window was disintegrated. He asked Ai Pulu to ride on his back, spread out his claw-like feet, and stared at the window frame for a while, and then led her through the window. He turned around and cast a disgusted glance at the ugly and empty human shell behind him, only to be surprised to find that the snow-white hospital bed was actually empty.Whatever it is, why bother with such a little thing, how good it is now, strong, free, and powerful, with a beautiful girl straddling her back. "Hey, Mr. Barbie!" He hated Nurse Heller's flustered yelling, and the blinding sunlight from outside the door.He didn't let the nurse see where he was. It was ridiculous to see her, with a syringe in her hand and a sad face, running around in the empty room in a hurry, looking for Mr. Babi in the corner under the bed, "Where did you go?" where it goes?" Babi had a magical impulse to show his ability in front of Nurse Heller, but Ai Pulu gave him a slap on the ribs.Let Nurse Heller solve her problems herself.Babi put away his big black wings, wiped the window and left the ward. The night sky was still cloudy, with a southerly wind blowing a cold drizzle.With his new vision, Babi could clearly see the shapes of various objects. The damp and cold air cheered him up, and the feeling of exhaustion and disorientation was swept away.He spread his wings against the wind, broke through the drizzle of the night sky, and flew westward. In the dark farmhouse, a dog suddenly yelled in panic, Babi swooped down to the ground, and the threat from his throat made the dog whimper in fright.No sound.Riding on the invigorating power, Babi soared into the sky. This is the real life. All the old doubts, concerns, worries and frustrations were thrown into the sky, and he was finally free. Continuing to the west, Babi went down the dark mountain road, the lights of the car were shaking, the searchlights flashed back and forth, and the flashlights were like fireflies. The progress of hunting down the murderer was really slow. Since he left Sam's cave , the upstream flood rolled huge gravels and poured continuously, Black Bear Canyon and Laurel Canyon were already impassable, and Police Officer Pike's men were trapped at the mouth of the river. "They can't catch him anymore," Ai Pulu whispered. "We will use the chain to help him slip on the rocks and kill him." "No," Babi muttered reluctantly, "I wouldn't—" "I reckon you will," Epurue told him, "you'll see what's happening on Mount Sardis, and then you'll do it." A strange compromising mood drove Babi to continue westward, along the dark and winding highway, flying over the undulating mountains, spinning and flying low to the sky above the steep U-shaped curve, his pterosaur eyes could not stop Search the ground. There were three cars parked beside the curve, a black ambulance, and a small group of nighttime drivers parked on the side of the road to watch the excitement. They gathered at the edge of the cliff, looking at the black car of the Foundation that fell into the mountain stream under the cliff. A man in white overalls was pulling an indistinct mass from the wreckage of the car and placing it on a stretcher. Babi saw clearly what they were carrying, and couldn't help shivering. "Your body." The snow-white Ai Pulu told him, "Your strength is enough, and you don't need its support anymore. When you drive down the mountain, I grasp the chain of probabilities and help you get rid of it. free." Rescuers put a blanket over the hapless mass on the stretcher. "Freedom?" Babi whispered hoarsely. "You mean - dead?" "No," Epurue explained patiently, "now you will never die—as long as we kill Sam Quinn now before he has time to learn to use that weapon. You are one of the modern members of our race Most powerful, even then, your human nature still leaves you vulnerable and melancholic, and it is time for you to break with humanity completely." His wings were stiff, and they went up and down crookedly. "I'm sorry, honey." Ai Pulu's sudden tenderness, usually she always speaks in a friendly but teasing tone, "It's not easy to lose a body even if you don't need it anymore, but you really Should be happy." "Happy?" He said angrily, "Are you happy when you're dead?" "No, it's freedom!" Ai Pulu's voice became hoarse due to excitement, "You will feel different soon, Willy, the specific genes of your ancestors will be awakened, and the obstacles of human nature will disappear completely. Now To you is our heirloom, which has been handed down from generation to generation in our race, since the dark days, when men thought they had conquered us." His long wings fluttered in the air. "My dear, you must not be afraid!" Ai Pulu gently caressed Babi's scales with her fingers, "I guess you will feel awkward and lonely - I have felt the same way before, but you don't will be alone for a long time." She raised the noise cheerfully. "You see, Asher Gran says I'm strong enough to live too." Babi flapped his wings wearily and swirled in the air. "Of course, I must wait until our heir is born, a strong son who will continue to carry on the lineage of our race," he felt her body tremble with this firm purpose, "then I can separate from the body ,” she said softly again, “then I can be with you forever.” "Huh!" Babi snorted, "Spirit's companion!" "Don't be too sentimental, Willie Bobby!" He chuckled softly, pushing his red hair back and resting his bare heels on Bobby's bed, "You're a vampire now, you have to learn to like it. You My old friend Quinn should really be sympathetic." "No!" He panted, without giving in at all, "I don't believe you." Babi flapped his heavy wings and hovered slowly at low altitude. Rescuers pulled his body out of the car wreck and loaded him into an ambulance. One of them slipped on the wet rocks and almost knocked the body under the blanket. Throw it to the ground.Never mind, it doesn't matter anyway. "When Asher taught me those ancient magical techniques, I was disgusted too," whispered April Bell happily, "the thought of hiding in the dark all day, even in his own grave, and coming out at night to feed , it always makes my hair stand on end, but now I find it quite amusing." Babi didn't say a word, hovered silently in the empty towel, watched the two people put their bodies along the stretcher's sliding wheels, and pushed them into the ambulance, silently thinking about the independent energy knot of thinking, hoping that Sam Quinn Can you tell me a little more about Monrik's discovery in the Alashan ancient tomb. "Our ancestors used to live like that." Ai Pulu continued excitedly, "That was before humans realized how to deal with us, it was a natural state, because our free thinking network has a more wonderful power , almost forever, but sunlight, metallic silver, and the rocks that put our ancestors in their graves." Ai Pulu stopped, listened to something, and looked northeast. "It's time to go find Sam Quinn," she said. "I can feel a bond forming." Babi flapped his wings and flew northeast, circling over the heads of the raiders at the mouth of Bear Creek. "Never mind them," said April Bell contemptuously. "They don't have silver bullets, and they don't know how to see us. Since the medieval Inquisition, humans have forgotten how to deal with us—they can't even understand." Our own dog. Only Sam Quinn is our only enemy." Barbie flew over the mouth of the river and continued on to the fast-flowing Laurel Canyon.Ai Pulu stretched out her slender fingers and pointed to the small road in the valley ahead. Babi saw that Sam carried a green wooden box on his shoulders and stood high on the small road. The runaway wild horse swirls and foams, and roars down the current. "Wait!" said April Bell softly. "When he slips and falls, we can take our chances—that's the link I feel." Ba Niu purposely hovered over the canyon, and in the present situation, he still laments the indomitable spirit of Sam Quest, such a brave and dangerous enemy, who is not afraid of the long journey.Not afraid of the bad luck coming to the top, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, you are still tenacious. Sam struggled to climb the towpath dug out by the Indians, with the wooden box in front of the others, pushed a wooden box, moved forward a step, and approached the steep peak step by step.Then, he straightened up tenaciously and carried the wooden box on his shoulders. "Come on!" cried Aprile Bell. Babi put his wings together slightly, and rushed down quietly. Sam Quinn seemed to have suddenly realized the danger, so he hurriedly pulled away to avoid it, and suddenly lost his balance.He raised his eyes and stared angrily at the air, in astonishment, opened his mouth and shouted something. He must know how to observe the aggregation of free thought networks.Bobby seemed to hear Sam calling his name angrily: "You—Willie Bobby—" The big claws of the pterosaur grabbed the green wooden box with iron hoops, and the old and deadly smell leaked out of the wooden box, rushing straight into Babi's nostrils, just touching the wooden box, Babi felt inexplicable Shivering, his wings were limp, but he still clung to the wooden box desperately. He finally snatched the wooden box from Sam's hand, and sank with the wooden box feebly, the poisonous gas almost suffocated him, the wooden box fell, he clenched his teeth, spread his stiff wings, his body stopped sinking, But the wooden box rolled down the mountain stream. The box hit the rock, the sawdust was flying, the silver platinum lining was torn, and Babi saw the silver weapon blackened with age, the broken yellow bone, the disc-shaped rock block and its terrible cold light , for the eyes of pterosaurs, the radiation lethality of this light is many times stronger than that of eyesight. The terrible blazing light reminded Babi of an accident at the Los Alamos Atomic Laboratory in the United States. An experimenter died on the spot. Is that radioactive uranium?Is it more dangerous than silver?If this is the case, those magic wizards who are responsible for the safety of the atomic experiment must be extremely careful, and they must not let people like Sam Quinn have the opportunity to hurt other wizards. The gleaming disk hit the rock wall and shattered, and fell into the torrential flood together with the skull of the magical mutant and the blackened silver weapon, and was swallowed by the flood without a trace along with the water spray, sand, and gravel. .Babi waved his wings to drive away the strange smell left by Yuanpan, and then fell on the rock to gather his mind and recover his strength, and Ai Pulu slid down from his back. "You're awesome, Babi!" her voice was soft and velvety, "that rocky round thing is the only real danger, you're the only one in our clan strong enough to catch sperm, and the rest Before they come near, they will be subdued and paralyzed." She said, scratching Babi's scaly belly, and Babi was shaking with joy. "Now let's kill Sam. Quinn, it's all over." Babi's big claws clasped the wet gravel, panting, shaking his long, scaly head desperately. "What harm can Sam do?" he breathed disapprovingly. "That box contained his only weapon, and all the evidence in his favor. And now he's just an ordinary fugitive, accused of three crimes." homicide case. Without the chest, his story was utter madness—a great wizard like Dr. Gran could just take care of him. " He stretched out his long, featherless dragon wings and took Ai Pulu by his arms. "What if he could get away with Sergeant Pike? What if he was so stupid that he published what he knew? Or, more likely, a book? If some brash publisher wanted to publish it—fantasy, perhaps? " "Will the magic sorcerers be worried?" "I don't think so. The magical wizards who read the book must regard it as worthless escapist raving; if it falls into the hands of a famous psychologist like Dr. Grann? I can imagine him The characteristic calm eyes. Another interesting case, he would say - and I can picture him shrugging lazily. "That's a counterpoint to reality, he would say, like reality seen through the vision of a crushed schizophrenic. The autobiography of a psychotic. The legend of a vampire, he would conclude, through the millennia. It has always been used to express subconscious aggression and guilt. Faced with the current climate of mild and smooth skepticism, who would believe it?" "Who would believe that?" The large pterosaur shrugged its folded wings. "Let's forget about Sam Quinn—for Nora's sake." "Oh, Nora Quinn again?" Ai Pulu Bell raised her face mischievously, deliberately avoiding the black wings caressed by Babi, her snow-white body gradually shrunk, and her head became long and pointed.The long fiery red hair has turned into snow-white smooth fur, a slender white she-wolf with a charming look, only the long and big green eyes are still Ai Pulu's. "Wait for me, Ai Pulu!" The she-wolf showed her bright red tongue, smiled silently, ran away from Babi, and ran up the hillside with dense jungle. Babi's wings became a burden, but transformation was easy. He trusted the huge body of the pterosaur to float and transform into a huge gray wolf, and ran into the darkness following the refreshing fragrance of the female wolf.
