Chapter 174 Monster
"What?" Sheng Xue looked blankly at the furious Zhang Wenjing.
As if to answer her question, the window was suddenly broken, and a strangely shaped monster crawled into the room. Its rotting body was oozing pus, and its bluish-black body resembled a zombie, yet it also had human features.
It looks more like a zombie that has evolved halfway, or perhaps a human that has mutated halfway.
The monster clung to the wall, crawling like a spider, but its gaze remained fixed on Zhang Wenjing, filled with hatred and a strange, eerie energy.
The monster kept muttering two words indistinctly. Sheng Xue approached Zhang Wenjing, whose face was so gloomy it looked like it could drip blood.
It wasn't until the monster opened its mouth and shouted in a sharp voice that Sheng Xue could hear what it was saying. The two words it had been repeating were "Mom."
Sheng Xue looked at Zhang Wenjing in horror, but her expression quickly changed as she thought of another possibility: a monster child born from a human and a zombie, something she had seen before.
This is Zhang Qian's child! The child she strangled to death with her own hands right after birth!
They had clearly burned the child's body before, but when they went back later, Zhang Qian's grave had been dug up, and even the child's crystal core that they had placed inside had disappeared.
Thinking of the laboratory she had seen these past few days, and recalling the missing crystal core, Sheng Xue's mind suddenly jolted. So those people had already dug it up back then, and they used that crystal core to create this monster.
Suddenly, the monster lunged at Zhang Wenjing. When Zhang Wenjing saw the monster, her eyes were filled with deep hatred. She only wanted to kill it on the spot and erase the shame that her sister least wanted to face.
But this monster was faster than a normal person, no, faster than a normal person, even a normal zombie. Its shape was not that of a child at all, not like a human being, but like a twisted soul in a cobbled-together container.
"Watch out!" Sheng Xue shouted at Zhang Wenjing. Zhang Wenjing reacted a step slower than the monster, and the monster scratched her entire back, leaving a deep, visibly painful mark.
The monster seemed to have its sights set on Zhang Wenjing, completely ignoring Sheng Xue beside it. Its eyes were filled with hatred, and it kept making strange noises that sounded more like interrogations.
Others might not understand, but Zhang Wenjing, who is in the Department of Mental Health, could understand it perfectly.
It kept resentfully questioning its mother, asking why she killed it, why she killed it when it was just born!
His hatred turned into attacks, piercing Zhang Wenjing's defenses time and time again. Zhang Wenjing stared at his completely black pupils, at his body that was not human at all, at the monster that had drained her sister's life force and should have died but was now standing in front of her.
Why? There's no why! Because it shouldn't exist in the first place!
Zhang Wenjing chopped off the monster's arm with a single stroke, black blood splattering everywhere. The monster, however, seemed oblivious, tilting its head to look at its wound, as if puzzled and in pain.
He held his head in his hands, staring at Zhang Wenjing, smelling her familiar scent. It was a monster, yet it could feel pain. Why, why wasn't it loved?
The monster in front of them suddenly let out a sharp cry. Sheng Xue covered her ears in pain, but Zhang Wenjing, being a mentalist, understood its question.
