133 The Mutation
Selma Payne’s POV:
“I’m feeling a little cold.” Leviathan looked at the toothbrush on his shoulder and the bleeding wound. “Are you not going to put me down? This is your classmate’s body. Won’t he die from losing too much blood?”
“What’s the point of keeping a physical body if the soul is gone?” I didn’t care about her crazy words. “Ryan’s soul is in your hands. Are you going to be merciful and let him go?”
Leviathan laughed and shook her head. “Haha! That won’t do. Only demons are greedier than dragons. I don’t want to give up anything of mine for nothing.”
The police sirens came from outside the window, and my phone also received a notification.
The police and the werewolf grandmasters had arrived.
“Oh, our time together is really short,” Leviathan said regretfully. “It seems that our gathering is coming to an end.”
“What are you doing?” I became alert.
She laughed awkwardly and removed her toothbrush. She stood up and said, “It’s been long since we last met. I’m giving you a piece of information for free. Just take it as an introductory gift.”
My intuition told me that this demon was up to no good. “What are you saying? Who’s reuniting with you after a long time?”
Ryan’s body began to rot and crack, and Leviathan’s gentle voice began to change. She said, “My dear, you destroyed the formation? I could have had everyone’s soul, but I only received one of the worst qualities.
“I’ve taken someone’s money and helped them get rid of their disaster. Since I’ve received the reward, I have to help them achieve their wishes.
“However, I can only complete a little of the same value as the reward.
“What a pity. The person he wants to take revenge on the most isn’t here, and you, my dear, I can’t bear to do anything to you.”
Leviathan looked out the door as if she had X-ray eyes, observing someone through the layers of concrete.
I had a bad feeling and pounced on her.
However, it was still too late. Black smoke with a strong fishy smell came out of Ryan’s seven orifices and slipped through the door’s crack.
I couldn’t care less about Ryan’s body and immediately ran downstairs.
When I stepped on the ground floor, a wisp of black smoke passed through the panicking crowd and gushed straight into Dorothy’s body.
“No!”
I was shocked and quickly went forward to check on Dorothy’s condition.
Dorothy was knocked back onto the sofa by the impact. Both her eyes were bleeding, and her pupils were constantly expanding until they occupied her eyes.
“What have you done?!” I roared.
Leviathan, who had turned into black smoke, chuckled and said, “It’s just a little help. I know what you’re worried about, my dear.
“What a magical eye. Even I am envious of its power.
“The price of a treasure is always heavy.
“If you want to know the answer, go to the Rocky Mountains and take a look.
“There’s a way to solve everything there.”
At this moment, the villa’s door was knocked open by the werewolf grandmasters. Through the door, I saw a group of strange monsters fighting with the police in the courtyard. They were soft all over, like boneless bugs.
I suddenly thought of the dead body of the caterpillar on the magic circle and looked at Leviathan in disbelief.
“Do you like this little gift?” She laughed maniacally. “Time’s up. I look forward to our next meeting!”
The black smoke suddenly dispersed. I subconsciously tried to catch it, but I only touched the air.
The room was still echoing with her voice, “Go to the Rocky Mountains and find the answer!”
Following that, a wisp of black smoke suddenly entered my mouth. I didn’t even have time to react.
The black smoke was even colder than liquid nitrogen. I instantly felt that my internal organs had been frozen. The terrifying cold air corroded my body from the inside out.
I subconsciously coughed. My cold and stiff internal organs made me extremely uncomfortable. I wished I could cut open my stomach and take them out.
Under this unbearable torture, I quickly lost consciousness.
When I woke up, I was lying in the hospital. Dorothy was on the bed next to me.
This was rare because there were plenty of medical pieces of equipment in the palace. I had to ask Tracy for treatment for any minor illness or pain.
However, there was no space in the palace for many large pieces of equipment. To be admitted to the hospital could only mean that Dorothy and I were in critical condition. We could no longer be treated with the medical resources in the palace.
I belatedly realized that countless drips were inserted in my body, and a few large instruments surrounded me as if purifying my blood.

“Is anyone there… ”
I was startled by my hoarse voice.
I pressed the call bell next to me, and someone quickly entered the room.
My parents were wearing a full set of protective equipment and looked at me in grief.
“Oh, my baby…” my mother’s tears fell like rain.
I asked weakly, “What happened to me? What’s wrong with Dorothy? What are these machines for?”
This question made her mother cry even harder, so much so that my father had no choice but to comfort her and send her out of the ward.
When he returned, he seemed to be helplessly thinking about something. Then, he said in a deep voice, “The demon has contaminated your and Dorothy’s bodies. Child, your blood has mutated, transforming you into a demon.”
“What?” I cried out in disbelief, and instantly, I was in excruciating pain from the tubes all over my body due to my sudden movement.
Golden runes could be seen on the vascular channel and the machine. It was the work of the werewolf grandmaster.
