American comics: A salted fish becomes a saint by hanging up

The reflection in the mirror made his heart tighten - the same black hair began to grow on his face, and the color of his eyes seemed to be changing, with his pupils gradually becoming slender and filled with a cold light like some kind of wild beast.

"What on earth is going on..." Lin Nan muttered to himself, his voice filled with uncontrollable fear and despair. Every second, he could feel the strange power stirring in his body, as if a long-dormant beast was awakening in his body.

He punched the wall hard, trying to use the pain to wake himself up, but the force became stronger and stronger, almost swallowing up his sanity. Lin Nan felt his breathing become heavy, and every inch of muscle in his body was tensed uncontrollably.

"I can't let it control me..." Lin Nan screamed frantically in his heart, trying to suppress the power, but to no avail. He felt the instinct in his body constantly surging, eager to break free and release his true wildness. The door of the room suddenly opened, and a researcher in a white lab coat walked in. Lin Nan raised his head suddenly, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes. He almost instinctively pounced on the researcher, with sharp claws growing from his fingertips, pointing directly at the other's throat.

The researcher was obviously startled by the sudden attack, but he did not panic, but calmly pressed the remote control in his hand. Instantly, an electric current came from Lin Nan's body, causing him to twitch violently and fall to the ground without control.

"You finally woke up," the researcher sneered, his tone full of mockery and indifference, "It seems that the effect of the experiment is better than we expected. How do you feel now, Lin Nan?"

Lin Nan was lying on the ground, in great pain, but he still stared at the researcher with his fierce eyes, his teeth unconsciously showing his sharp fangs. "What did you... do to me?" He asked with difficulty, his voice low and hoarse, with a hint of violent anger.

"We are just stimulating the latent power in your body," the researcher answered slowly, as if admiring his own masterpiece. "This power is innate to you, but you have never realized its existence. And now, we are just helping you release it."

“I don’t need this kind of power! He tried to stand up again, but his body was too weak from the electric shock to support him.

The researcher shrugged and said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter whether you realize it or not. What's important is that this power will make you strong enough to deal with everything you are about to face. Haven't you always wanted to save your brother? Now you have enough power."

"You are destroying me..." Lin Nan felt as if something was stabbing his chest. He could not accept his current appearance, and he could not accept that this change would turn him into a complete beast.

"Destroy you?" The researcher smiled, as if hearing a joke. "No, Lin Nan, this is part of our plan. Your body is evolving towards perfection, and you will become the most powerful weapon in our hands. Accept it, this is your only choice."

Lin Nan felt a deep despair, as if his consciousness was gradually being swallowed by darkness. He knew that if he continued, he would no longer be himself, but a beast without reason. He tried to grasp that ray of reason, but he felt that the wild power was getting stronger and stronger, almost swallowing him up completely.

"I... won't let you succeed..." Lin Nan gritted his teeth and said in a low voice. Although his body was on the verge of collapse, his heart was still struggling desperately. He knew that the only one who could save him was himself. He had to find a way to control this power instead of being controlled by it.

The researcher obviously didn't care about Lin Nan's resistance. He walked forward and looked down at Lin Nan who was lying on the ground, his eyes full of coldness and calculation. "You will eventually succumb, Lin Nan. This is your fate that you cannot resist. Instead of fighting, you should accept it and become our most powerful weapon."

"Shut up..." Lin Nan growled, with the last glimmer of rationality in his eyes. He suddenly jumped up, and although he was weak, he pounced on the researcher with all his strength. His claws drew an arc in the air, pointing directly at the other's chest.

The researcher's face changed slightly, but he quickly pressed the remote control and sent out a stronger current again. Lin Nan's body twitched violently again, and he almost fainted in pain, but his eyes still burned with an unyielding fire.

"You... won't... succeed..." Lin Nan's voice was low and intermittent, but every word was full of determination and anger. Although his body was gradually changing, his inner will was becoming more and more firm. He knew that as long as he could still maintain a little clarity, he would never give in.

The researcher was obviously a little surprised at Lin Nan's tenacity, but he quickly regained his composure and said with a sneer: "Then we will see which side time will stand on in the end."

Lin Nan's consciousness began to blur again, but he still swore silently in his heart that no matter what happened, he would not give up his will. A voice in his heart kept echoing: "I must find Lin Yuan. I can't let him become a test subject for these people."

As his consciousness gradually faded away, Lin Nan gritted his teeth for the last time and vowed to himself that no matter how strong this force was, he would not let it completely control him. He knew that only by finding a balance could he survive this crisis and find a way to save his brother.

When Lin Nan woke up again, he felt a strange fatigue all over his body, as if every bone had been polished again. He opened his eyes reluctantly and found himself locked in an even smaller room, surrounded by thick metal walls, obviously to prevent him from escaping.

He tried to move his body, but his muscles were as stiff as stone. His wrists and ankles were fastened to the bed, unable to move. The black hair still covered his arms, and he felt a deep fear and disgust. This change was too strange and terrible, and he had to find an answer.

"I want to know what's going on," Lin Nan vowed in his heart. He couldn't let himself go on like this. He had to figure out the source of these changes, and it was obviously related to his genes. He vaguely remembered that he had heard about experiments on genetic modification, but he never thought that he would become the subject of the experiment.

"They must have my genetic samples..." Lin Nan's thoughts raced as he tried to sort out his thoughts. He knew that if he wanted to return to normal, he had to find the genetic data and analyze it to find out the cause of the mutation.
