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

"What have I become?" Countless questions came to Lin Nan's mind, but there was no answer. He was eager to find out the truth of all this, but at this moment he even found it difficult to stand up, let alone find the answer.

The room was terribly silent, as if time had stopped. Lin Nan clenched his fists tightly, trying to calm himself down and control his panic and anxiety. He knew he had to get out of this room and not be trapped in this endless fear.

"I must find those genetic data..." Lin Nan kept repeating this goal in his mind. Those data were his only hope. Only by figuring out what had happened to his genes could he find a way to stop himself from turning into a beast. He forced himself to sit up. Although he was still dizzy, he knew he couldn't lie down any longer. Although his body was weak, his will was still firm. He would not let this mutated power destroy his sanity.

He shook his head vigorously, trying to dispel the confusion in his mind, and then slowly stood up. Although his legs were still a little weak, he was finally able to stand firmly. He looked around and found that the room was not big. There were almost no other items except the bed and some simple equipment. The only exit was a metal door with an electronic lock.

"They locked me up here because they were afraid I would lose control?" Lin Nan felt uneasy. This isolation made him feel like he was being treated as a test subject. But at the moment, he didn't have time to think about this. The only important thing was to find a way out.

He walked to the metal door and carefully observed the structure of the door lock. This kind of electronic lock was not unfamiliar to him. As long as he could find the weakness of the system, he could easily crack it. However, just as he was about to do it, he felt a sharp pain in his head again, as if a sharp blade was cutting his thoughts in his mind.

"Damn it!" Lin Nan growled, grabbing his hair tightly with both hands, trying to suppress the pain. His vision blurred again, and a buzzing sound came from his ears, as if something was constantly impacting his consciousness.

In the pain, he vaguely heard a low voice, the voice was cold and ruthless, as if it directly penetrated his mind. "You can't escape, Lin Nan. You will eventually succumb."

"This is impossible..." Lin Nan clenched his teeth, trying to resist the erosion of the voice, but the pain and dizziness in his mind became more and more intense, as if to tear his consciousness apart completely.

He was unwilling to give in, but the changes in his body seemed to be beyond his control. The black hair seemed to be rapidly expanding, covering his neck and chest, and the blood vessels under his skin became more obvious, as if they were about to burst out of his body.

"I must stay awake..." Lin Nan desperately told himself, but the force was constantly devouring his sanity. He felt his breathing becoming more and more rapid, and every muscle in his body was tense, as if an uncontrollable force would burst out at any time.

Just when he could no longer hold on, the electronic lock suddenly made a slight sound, the indicator light on the door lock turned from red to green, and then the door slowly opened. Lin Nan was stunned for a moment, and the chaotic thoughts in his mind made him unable to understand what was happening for a while.

A woman in a white lab coat stood outside the door, with a complex look in her eyes, which seemed to be sympathy, but also seemed to be forbearance. She did not come in immediately, but stood at the door, staring at Lin Nan, as if she was weighing something.

"Who are you?" Lin Nan tried hard to concentrate, his voice was hoarse, with a hint of distrust and vigilance.

The woman glanced at him and sighed softly, "I'm here to help you, Lin Nan. Your current condition is very dangerous. If you continue like this, you will completely lose control."

"Help me?" His mind was still filled with pain and dizziness, but he knew that the appearance of this woman was no accident. "Who are you? Why do you want to help me?"

The woman hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "My name is not important, but I know what you are going through. I was once part of this experiment, but... I chose another path."

Lin Nan's heart flashed with doubt and shock. Was this woman also part of the experiment? Her words made him feel uneasy, but at the same time, he also realized that there were more secrets here that he had not yet uncovered.

"How do you want to help me?" Lin Nan stared at her, his inner vigilance not diminished. Although his physical weakness made it impossible for him to fully concentrate, he knew that any mistaken trust could have fatal consequences.

The woman did not answer his question, but walked into the room and took out a syringe. She glanced at Lin Nan and said softly but firmly, "This potion can temporarily suppress your mutation, giving you enough time to find a real solution."

Lin Nan stared at her, his eyes full of suspicion. He was tired of being used as a test subject, and any unproven drug was like a deadly poison to him.

"Why should I believe you?" Lin Nan whispered, with hidden anger in his voice.

The woman saw his hesitation and fear, gently placed the syringe on the table, and took a step back. "I know it's hard for you to trust anyone, but you have to make a choice. If you don't inject this potion, your mutation will continue to worsen, and by then, you may completely lose yourself."

Lin Nan stared at the syringe, his inner struggle becoming more intense. He knew that his current state was extremely dangerous, and the changes in his body were gradually devouring his will. Although the woman's words made sense, he still couldn't easily trust this sudden person.

"If you have another choice, I hope you can find it. But right now, time is running out." The woman said, turning around and preparing to leave the room.

Lin Nan looked at her back, and his inner conflict reached its peak. He knew that he could not delay any longer, otherwise he would lose his last chance. He clenched his fists, and the pain in his body made it almost impossible for him to think, but he knew that he had to make a decision.

Finally, he picked up the syringe and slowly injected the drug into his body. The pain instantly intensified, as if his entire body was burning, but then a strange chill began to spread from his body, gradually suppressing the violent force.

The woman stopped outside the door, turned her head and glanced at Lin Nan, with a hint of mixed emotions in her eyes, "I hope you can hold on to the end this time." He focused all his attention on his body. As the potion took effect, the dizziness gradually subsided and his mind slowly became clear. He knew that he was temporarily stable, but there were more battles waiting for him next.
