parasitic son

Not many people are willing to stay and work in the sanatorium, and not many people can bear this kind of psychological pressure.Not to mention aliens, many Xiyiqi volunteers often leave in great pain after only working here for a small week.Alien tourist Liu Xingquan and his chicken are willing to stay here to help, and Li Wen is really grateful to them.

Of course, there are exceptions. In addition to the nursing area, there are also researchers who volunteer to stay here in the park. Among them, the one who is most familiar with Li Wen is a researcher named Qisina. She used to teach at Xiyiqi Institute of Higher Education. All the energy has been devoted to the research on the crimson variation.

Li Wen brought Liu Xingquan and the chicken to Qisina's laboratory.When they came to the door of the laboratory, two Yas robots were transporting the corpse.When the robot passed by them, several pieces of black matter fell from the cart, which were the mutated and decomposed tissue pieces of the corpse.Li Wen silently pushed Liu Xingquan to the side, and a robot silently picked up the tissue pieces on the ground, opened the hose and sprayed out a pungent sterilizing gas.

After a while, the car parked at the entrance of the laboratory was filled with layers of corpses, and each body bag was written with a code, which represented a Xiyiqi who had lived.A red light on the door indicates that the maximum load has been reached.After a while of engine roar, the corpse truck drove away.

A woman from Xiyiqi came out, "Li Wen, who is this Homo sapiens?"

"Qisina, he is the alien Liu Xingquan I mentioned earlier. He said he could help."

"Okay." Kisna nodded, "It just so happens that the pile of samples over there needs someone to sort them out."

"Where's A-Xia? I remember it was her..."

She said: "A Xia is dead, now my assistant is only Gan Li."

"Oh." Li Wen said he knew, he took out a small medicine bottle, "here."

The vial contains two capsules, which are the last remaining rejuvenating agents.Kisna took the medicine bottle.Her gaze rested on the chicken, and she wondered why there was a chicken here.

"Has your research progressed?"

"It's the same as last week." Kisna let out a bitter smell.

After settling Liu Xingquan and the chicken, Li Wen returned to his office.A new song of the dead floated in the distant mountains outside the window.Li Wen stood by the window and watched for a long time.He went back to his desk and wrote a request for a ration increase due to drug shortages.

After the letter was sent, a progress hexagonal icon appeared on the holographic screen, which represented a temporary network congestion.

Probably due to the network congestion caused by countless similar application letters in various districts.Li Wen thought to himself, the letter he sent was just a drop in the vast ocean.What would have happened if he had been selected as a Bazar at that time... Could he save more compatriots?As soon as he thought of this, he smiled wryly and stopped thinking.Why doesn't the queen want to save her hundreds of millions of people?This delusion of his own is really presumptuous.

That night, Li Wen prepared to tell Xiao Wei a bedtime story as usual.When he opened the door and entered, he saw Xiao Wei was messing with something at the table.

"What are you doing?"

"Equal share." Xiao Wei said seriously.On the table were the three capsules, all twisted open.Xiaowei carefully divided the powder particles in each capsule into four parts, and wrapped each part in a small paper bag.

It smiled innocently: "In this way, my medicine has changed from three pills to 12 servings! I can take it for a few more days!"

Childish self-deception, Li Wen thought.But he won't expose Xiaowei's self-consciousness, because there is only so much rejuvenating agent, and he can't make more drugs.

After Xiaowei carefully licked a little particle on the paper, he sat beside Xiaowei and told it a story.Most of the stories that the Xiyiqi people told the children were clichés, and the most mentioned one was the coming of the first generation of the Holy Queen.The queen's voyage in the vast starry sky, the route and coordinates full of praise, and the beautiful arc drawn at the moment of her arrival.

She finally descended on Nocturne Mountain.

"The river of stars flowed at her feet,

Across the sea of ​​thunder and flames,

Fly through the gravel corridor,

The double star of the rose adorns her wings.

Sing, sing,

This is where the queen comes.

Praise, praise,

Then, the God of Baimang appeared,

Congratulations to the queen.

Like drizzle, the dead revive,

Like a raging fire, eliminate suffering. "

Xiao Wei supported his head and listened, it suddenly asked: "Mr. Li Wen, does the Baimang God really exist?"

"That's the legend in the ballad." Li Wen said, "I think it's the natural wonder that the first Queen Majesty saw when she came down." The latter should all be fabricated by later generations.

"The God of White Mang should exist." Xiao Wei said, "People from the Happiness Society said that if the God of White Mang came, we would no longer have to worry about the mutation of Crimson."

Happiness Association, the full name is Common Happiness Mutual Aid Association, Li Wen has heard this word from many patients.It is a psychotherapy institution that often haunts various sanatoriums.In their psychotherapy process, the word Baimanshen often appears.Li Wen didn't like the pain of escaping reality by relying on a virtual idol, but now that these mutants had no way out, he couldn't say anything to force them to face the bleak reality.

Before going to sleep, Xiao Wei raised one of his joint limbs and stared at it for a while, "I think the red spot on my arm seems to be a little smaller."

"Is it small?"

"Small! Isn't it?"

"Well, it's too young, go to sleep."

Days like this passed day by day, and Yequ Mountain was igniting new songs of the dead every day.

After taking care of the mutants, Li Wen would check all the patients every day, carefully update and submit a new application letter for drug distribution, and then all the applications continued to disappear.

His words of comfort to the mutants seemed more and more like ridiculous lies now.The paper packets of medicine powder that Xiaowei divided evenly had been eaten up long ago.Although Xiaowei would not complain about him, some other mutants were unavoidably dissatisfied and often accused Sang Huai of his incompetence.And some people joined the Mutual Happiness Mutual Aid Association. They often gather together, ignore everything, and just indulge in the rhetoric of the Happiness Association.

Then suddenly one day there was a commotion in the sanatorium, and everyone said that a large amount of medicine was coming soon.Everyone was excited for the whole night, eagerly waiting for the arrival of the transport plane.

At noon the next day, the legendary transport plane finally arrived. This time it was indeed medicine, but it was an imitation rejuvenating agent synthesized locally by Xiyiqi.The queen's scientists studied the crimson mutation day and night, and synthesized a batch of generic drugs with the molecular formula of the rejuvenating agent. However, due to the scarcity of key elements and insufficient purity of the synthesis, the efficacy of this generic drug is far inferior to that of Sadie. The authentic rejuvenator.

"Talking is better than nothing." Qisna said looking at the screen, she threw the generic medicine bottle back to Li Wen, "I don't want it anymore."

"Although it is a generic drug, it is still somewhat useful." Li Wen said, "I know the queen will never give up on us."

"Li Wen, even generic drugs are limited." Qisina said, "Give them all to Xiaowei."

"but……"

"Ganli is also dead." Qisina said, "My assistant is Homo sapiens Liu Xingquan now." She added hesitantly, "And that chicken."

"..."

"It will be my turn soon."

"What nonsense, although it is not as good as the rejuvenation agent, the generic drug is more or less useful!"

"Can you still say that when you see me like this now?"

Qisna turned the seat, and Li Wen was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a while.

Kisna's legs had been completely mutated, with pus dripping from the discolored chitin, and some weirdly curved calcified horns distorted their original shape.She is suffering from this terrible mutation.

"Li Wen, I can't leave the laboratory now." Qisna's tone showed some regret, "Even if I take the medicine, the time left is not much."

"..."

"Fortunately, I still found something." Kisna said thoughtfully.

"Find?"

"Yeah. But I'm not sure yet." Kisna said, "In addition, I have a friend I met when I was studying abroad. Her ability is as trustworthy as her character. She is a Sidi."

"Saidi?"

"It's the top genetic expert in the galaxy, her name is Noah." Qisna smiled and said, "You can go to her after I'm gone."

"it is good."

"In a while, assistant Liu Xingquan will go to Yequ Mountain to collect some experimental samples. Take him there."

"Ok."

When Li Wen walked out of the laboratory, Qisna stopped him suddenly.

"Li Wen?"

"Ok?"

"Beware of the Mutual Happiness Mutual Aid Society."

……

……

Li Wen found a speeding car in the park, and took Liu Xingquan and the chicken with him. When Xiao Wei saw that they were going out, he also clamored to follow.He remembered that Xiao Wei hadn't gone out for a long time, so he took Xiao Wei with him.

The flying car drove to the foot of Yequ Mountain.The closer you get to Nocturne Mountain, the louder the song of the dead floating in the mist, like a bright beacon for navigation.Li Wen and Xiao Wei were intoxicated by the reciting of this hymn, while Liu Xingquan and the chicken seemed ignorant.

On the road leading to Yequ Mountain, there are only corpse trucks going back and forth, and there is no one else to be seen.There are no facilities on Nocturne Mountain except for the crematorium that roars and burns day and night in the mountain and a monument to the first Queen's Landing.

The mountain road of Yequ Mountain is rugged, and there is no grass on the road.This place is the sanctuary of the first queen, the final destination of all Xiyiqi people.Few people go here.

Liu Xingquan and the chicken got out of the car, holding a flashing collector in his hand.The Homo sapiens boy walked with a serious expression while collecting the samples she wanted according to Qisna's instructions.

Xiaowei ran around excitedly as soon as he got out of the car.At the foot of the mountain there is a small lake with crystal clear bottom. When it saw it, it jumped into the lake excitedly and swam back and forth.

"Mr. Li Wen, do you want to go swimming?"

Sitting on the shore, watching Liu Xingquan not far away and Li Wen, who was working with chickens, replied: "No. You have fun." Seeing that no one answered, he turned his head and found that Xiaowei was in the middle of the lake more than ten meters away. swimming.

"Xiao Wei, be careful."

After a while, Xiaowei swam to the shore, his head sticking out of the water, "Mr. Li Wen, do you want to swim?"

Exactly the same problem.Li Wen was in a daze.

After swimming enough, Xiao Wei finally jumped ashore.It turned its back and shook off the water droplets on its body.Li Wen lowered his gaze, the terrifying red spot had already infected Xiao Wei's clean back, this child is no longer a mild patient.

After drying the child, Li Wen took out a few fruits from the speeding car, handed a fruit to Xiao Wei, then raised his head and called out to Liu Xingquan, but he saw the boy and the chicken were looking at a certain place down the mountain without moving.

"What are you looking at?" Li Wen came to Liu Xingquan and asked.

There were vague engravings on the incomplete stone in front of Liu Xingquan and Ji's eyes, and several geometric patterns could be vaguely seen.

"what happened?"

"This pattern is very similar to what I saw in Hope Township." Liu Xingquan said in a low voice.

"Hope Township?"

Liu Xingquan turned to look at him, but did not speak.

……

……

That night, they returned to the park.

The robot lifted Kisna's body out.

Her slender body was wrapped in a body bag, and a good joint limb hung listlessly on the side.Xiao Wei wanted to see Qisina's face, but was stopped by Li Wen.Now there are not any backbone scientific researchers left in the lab in this park voluntarily, Li Wen thought, I have to sort out all the materials she left behind.

"Qisina shouldn't be walking so fast." Liu Xingquan questioned, "Otherwise she wouldn't let Captain Madara and I go out to sample today."

"It's the solemn executive who came." The only remaining staff member in the laboratory replied, "Kissna's symptoms have reached the moment when it must be carried out."

The staff was right.But Li Wen remembered Qisina's last words - "Be careful of the Mutual Aid Society of Common Happiness."

Does Qisna's death have anything to do with that psychotherapy institution?

But more than half of the people here have joined the Common Happiness Association, and they just found a psychological comfort before the fear and despair of death.

The corpse truck drove away.

Like everyone else, Kisna's body turned into a note of this long and long song of the dead.

Li Wen stood at the window watching the smoke rising from Yequ Mountain.Before suffering from the crimson mutation, Qisna was one of the best scholars in Xiyiqi.She should have had a bright future.But in front of the crimson mutation, no matter what class people are, they are all equal.

This means that no matter which tribe or the upper class, whether it is a prince or a queen, they may...

Li Wen quickly retracted his rebellious thoughts, just thinking of the queen made him feel like a knife was piercing his heart.Queen, Queen, he called her in his heart, she was the holy mother of the Xiyiqi people, she was the eternal star of the Xiyiqi people, just thinking of her would make his heart full of warmth and sadness.

If this continues, will we be genocide?

The song of the dead continued to hum.

……

……

Li Wen and Liu Xingquan sorted out the notes left by Qisina.With the experience of being an assistant to Qisina, Liu Xingquan is very skilled in handling the data on Qisina's computer.

Even the lack of Qisina's document was told by Liu Xingquan: "This document must have been deleted."

"you sure?"

"Yes, I remember that the documents that Qisna created in this directory are all gone."

"I see."

Li Wen called out the surveillance, but the surveillance showed that all surveillance records had been interrupted since the Suzheng executive entered the laboratory that day.

He made several copies of the computer's memory disk, and the consignor secretly mailed one of them.

Xiaowei's body became weaker day by day, and the red spots on his body that could have been ignored turned into dense lumps of large and small sizes, which were unbearably itchy. Sores filled with pus.Li Wen helped him apply the medicine finely every day, but this did not relieve its pain.He knew that it wouldn't be long before its body would be penetrated by those calcium-mutated chitins, and it would no longer be able to bounce around.

The application letters for drug rationing that he sent out one after another still fell into the sea.

People are saying that the queen is negotiating with the Sidi, but the Sidi's domestic situation has changed, and I am afraid that the ration of the rejuvenation potion will be less and less.

Li Wen sometimes went to the Internet to check for new news, but most of the time, Xiyiqi officials were controlling public opinion about the crimson mutation.The world is peaceful on the Internet, and everyone is cursing the Sidi people without pain. Occasionally, someone will mention those compatriots who are suffering, and someone will jump out and scold the entire Siqi for paying high medical expenses for these mutants. Fei, why don't these people think about the race and the sacrifices the queen made for them?

This is true, but in the eyes of some healthy people, all the suffering mutants seem to be insignificant existences, and they can pretend not to see them by opening their eyes.

In order to prevent the security officers who were searching for seriously ill patients for execution every day, Li Wen carried Xiaowei to the warehouse behind the laboratory in the park.

Xiaowei is too weak to walk on his own, but his spirit seems to be fine.

Liu Xingquan and the chicken would often bring Xiaowei small things outside, a bunch of flowers, a bag of snacks, or dried fruits.Although the appearance is already very scary, Xiao Wei will still talk to them with a smile.

When Li Wen walked into the warehouse that day, Xiao Wei was holding a bunch of small flowers in his hand, saying that it was given to him by Liu Xingquan.

"Well. You can keep it by your side if you like."

"This is the white awn flower." Xiao Wei said, "This is the tweed flower that represents the white awn god."

"Ah."

"Mr. Li Wen, I am not afraid of death at all. Because I know, everyone will go to another world to live well."

"Ah."

"Everyone will be together and there will be no more pain."

"Ah."

Xiaowei's voice became softer and softer, "I'm a little sleepy."

"Then go to sleep."

"Good night."

"……Good night."

That night, Xiao Wei's breathing stopped.

Li Wen hugged it tightly, the body's temperature gradually dropped, and the smell became more pungent.But he didn't have any real feeling in his heart. He always felt that the child would be able to giggle and open his eyes again the next day.

On the second day, the corpse truck dragged Xiao Wei away.

Li Wen stood by the window, watching the smoke of Yequ Mountain ignite again, the orange, red and white shimmers flickered in the fog, like a child blinking.

The shuttle drew thin white lines in the sky, and another batch of new mutants was sent over.

If I hadn't lost the election and managed to become a prince, would they have been saved?Li Wen thought in a daze.

"How many times are you going to repeat?" A voice sounded from behind him.

Li Wen turned around.

Liu Xingquan and the chicken were standing behind him, but the chicken was talking, "We are trapped in your memory, how long are you going to loop?"
