章 680: Petrified Knowledge

Everything went fast after the tendrils melted into Lee Seng's skin. He could feel it hardening and slithering around. He continued to call for help, but nobody came. Dr. Hayes would return in an hour and Lee Seng didn't understand what was going on. 

'Was this how it was for the rest of the Numbers?' Lee Seng wondered. His neck had gone stiff, and he couldn't turn his head. His body didn't react to his commands. He tried to remember the stories Akio had told him, but it was a faint memory. He could barely remember much of it, but Akio did mention something about how dark it was. 

'The Protocol isn't exactly reacting the way it would to my gravity powers. Tendrils, the skintight body suit… Could it be based on the Mutation ability?' Lee Seng's whole entire head froze in place. Left with his own thoughts, he listened to the room buzz.
