"Chirp chirp!"
The group of mutated rats exchanged glances and then turned to flee.
"Whoosh!"
Seeing them leave, Yan Jien let out a sigh of relief as he lay on the ground, gasping for breath.
"Hiss!"
At that moment, every wound on his body throbbed with intense pain.
"This body is still not strong enough!" Yan Jien shook his head.
He turned to look at his claws, which had merged with his nails, resembling a sharp dagger.
"Can I control my transformation through meditation?" Yan Jien wondered.
He sat up, closed his eyes, and entered a meditative state.
"Hmm?"
Soon, he felt an unusual itch in his gums and finger bones; like last time, this itch penetrated deep into his marrow, causing him to sweat profusely.
"Hold on!" Yan Jien gritted his teeth.
He endured the pain, striving to maintain this state.
Two minutes later, the peculiar itch in his gums and finger bones peaked, and Yan Jien felt a surge of joy as he opened his eyes.
"I did it!" he exclaimed excitedly.
He raised both hands and noticed that sharp claws had grown at the tips of his fingers, just as before—extremely sharp.
"Scrape!"
With a casual swipe, he left deep scratches on the ground.
"How sharp!" Yan Jien was astonished.
He touched his teeth and found them long and pointed again, resembling the fangs of a fierce beast.
"Has my face changed at all?" Yan Jien wondered.
He took out his phone, turned on the flashlight, and aimed it at his face.
"Aside from my eyes having obvious changes, everything else seems about the same," Yan Jien frowned.
His eyes had transformed into beast-like pupils once again, looking fierce and brutal.
"Can I change back by myself?" Yan Jien thought.
He closed his eyes and silently meditated to calm his emotions.
Half a minute later, his claws disappeared, and his teeth returned to their original state.
"It takes over three minutes to transform voluntarily, but only about thirty seconds to revert," Yan Jien calculated and concluded.
He stood up and paced back and forth to confirm that his injuries had stabilized before finally feeling at ease.
"One more time!" Yan Jien exclaimed excitedly.
He entered his transformation state again, and three minutes later, he successfully transformed.
Then, he attempted to revert back, and after more than thirty seconds, he returned to his original form.
"Haha, I can really control my transformation now!" Yan Jien said joyfully.
He repeated the process twice more, with the same results as before.
"What a lucky day!" Yan Jien exclaimed, filled with excitement.
He glanced at the time; it was already past three in the morning, time to head back.
"Could those beasts have escaped from the Old Villa?" Yan Jien wondered as he looked at the distant yard, puzzled.
He walked over and jumped into the pit, discovering that below was a basement with faint sounds of squeaking coming from inside.
"Could this be a rat nest?" Yan Jien was surprised.
He listened carefully and realized there were many subtle breathing sounds—at least twenty or more.
"It seems these rats have mutated too," Yan Jien frowned.
He stood up, wanting to go down and eliminate the mutated rat pups, but the walls of the pit were made of smooth cement with no footholds at all.
"Forget it, I'll go back and deal with it tonight," Yan Jien thought for a moment and decided against taking the risk.
He jumped out of the pit and prepared to leave the area.
"Hmm? What is that smell?" Yan Jien frowned.
He caught a whiff of a foul odor, reminiscent of rotting flesh.
Turning his head, he noticed two pieces of flesh on the ground beside him—torn from the mutated rat king—had already decayed and were covered in white maggots.
"This..." Yan Jien was shocked.
He remembered tearing off those two pieces of flesh just over ten minutes ago; how could they have rotted so quickly?
"Could it be that these mutated creatures decompose rapidly after death?" Yan Jien wondered.
He approached and crouched down to examine the two pieces of flesh closely.
He watched as they decayed at a visible rate; the maggots died one by one and turned into pus.
In less than five minutes, the two pieces of flesh had turned into soil, merging with the ground as if they had never existed.
"This..." Yan Jien was astonished.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it was real.
"These mutated creatures are too bizarre!" Yan Jien was shocked.
He stood up and looked at the Old Villa, a thoughtful expression in his eyes.
"What secrets are hidden here?" Yan Jien pondered.
After thinking for a moment without finding an answer, he turned to leave.
"When it gets light, I'll ask Deng Kaiwen," Yan Jien thought.
...
Yan Jien ran all the way home. He closed the door, took off his clothes, and examined his body.
"The injuries are healing slower than usual," Yan Jien frowned. He calculated the time and realized that over four hours had passed since he was injured, yet the wounds had not healed.
"It seems this body has its limits," Yan Jien sighed. He lay on the bed, recalling the events of the night with excitement in his eyes.
"I can now transform at will!" Yan Jien exclaimed with enthusiasm. He extended his hand, looking at his fingers with curiosity.
"Will these flesh tips also rot like those mutated creatures?" Yan Jien wondered. He took out a small knife and made a cut on his index finger.
"Crack!" The knife made a crisp sound as it sliced through his finger.
"So hard!" Yan Jien was shocked. He looked at his index finger and saw only a faint white mark; the skin wasn't even broken.
"This body is incredibly strong!" Yan Jien was thrilled. He applied more force and cut again. This time, a small gash opened on his index finger, and blood began to flow out.
"Very good!" Yan Jien was excited. He picked up his phone, opened the notes app, and began recording the time.
"April 23rd, 4:12 AM, I made a cut on my index finger, length 0.5 centimeters, depth 0.1 centimeters," Yan Jien noted seriously.
"Now, let's wait and see when it heals," Yan Jien thought.
