Little Mushroom

"Wrong, but still right."

In the corridor connecting the working hall of the trial court to the training area, on the side wall, "Human interests are above everything else" is written on one side, and this sentence is written on the other side.

Below this sentence is a row of silver photo frames. The first photo frame is blank. Going forward, the second photo frame is a black and white photo. About thirty officers.He was dressed in the uniform of an inquisitor, and the dates of his birth and death are inscribed on the wall under the frame. He was 36 years old and died seven years ago.

The next photo frame is still a black and white photo with dates of birth and death.An Zhe walked forward, and the following photos were similar to the years of birth and death, and the age of their lives gradually moved forward.So An Zhe knew that this was a photo of previous judges, and the outermost blank photo frame was undoubtedly reserved for Lu Feng.

Thinking of this, An Zhe paused slightly, an indescribable weight weighed on his heart. If possible, he hoped that Lu Feng's photo would not be posted so soon - just like tonight, when Lu Feng boarded the plane At that moment, he hoped that this person would stay, stay in a safe place.

But Lu Feng had his choice.

Following Seran, he continued to walk forward, and at the end of the photo gallery, a strange scene appeared.

On the off-white wall, there is a rectangular area that is off-white, the same size as a photo frame.There are nail marks on the corners of the white area, and it looks like there was once a picture frame in this place too, but someone took it down.On the bottom, the place where the name and date of birth and death were originally printed was also scraped off, leaving only some mottled marks. An Zhe tried to identify it, but could only see that it was a string of letters starting with a capital P.

Seeing him stop here, Seran explained: "It is said that this is the first judge and the person who proposed the "Judge Act" and established the trial system."

An Zhe: "Has his photo been taken away?"

"Well." Seran said: "In the end, he questioned the rationality of the inquisitor system and betrayed the base."

An Zhe nodded. The human mind is hard to fathom, so he didn't ask.

Seran put him in a lounge. The geomagnetism disappeared, and everything fell into chaos. The logistics department and the emergency response department must be in chaos, while the other residents of the base were in panic, so they could only sleep first and wait for the military to come next. evacuation arrangements.

There was a lot of footsteps upstairs, and next door, Seran was talking on the phone, as if arranging the follow-up work of the trial court.

In the dark room, unable to see outside, An Zhe could only hear his own heartbeat.Inexplicably, as if he had a strange induction, he raised his head and looked into the depths of the darkness. The feeling was indescribable—he seemed to feel a huge wave.He, Seran, everyone, the entire human base and everything in this world are all insignificant parts of that indescribable fluctuation, trembling and changing with its fluctuation, oscillating tiny ripples.There is a sentence in the cubs' textbook called "The Torrent of Destiny", which he thinks is very appropriate. The only thing that is not appropriate is that the fluctuation seems to exist around the whole world, not an imaginary metaphor or imagination.

At this moment, his communicator rang, and it was the doctor's call.

The doctor asked him: "Lu Feng took off, where are you?"

An Zhe told him the truth.

"It's good to be safe." The doctor said: "I just finished the emergency meeting of the lighthouse, and I will go back to the laboratory to rest for a night. You should also have a good rest."

An Zhe: "Okay."

The doctor seemed to be climbing the stairs. After a while, he said again: "I was thinking about Sinan's performance in the morning. He reminded Lily to go back to the Garden of Eden, did he predict the disappearance of the magnetic field? Different species have different sensory organs, and some creatures have different sensitivity to magnetic fields. induction."

An Zhe said, "Maybe."

After thinking about it, he said again: "But it's so far away."

Of course he knew that each species was different. In the abyss, some monsters had extremely keen hearing, and some could smell the scent of prey thousands of meters away.But if Sinan sensed at the northern base that the dungeon base on the other side of the earth is being invaded by alien species, it seems a bit unreasonable, since there is no long-wave communication technology between alien species.

The doctor didn't reply him, only the sound of uneven breathing came from the opposite side, An Zhe thought he might be walking.

But after 3 minutes, the doctor still did not reply, but the sound of breathing became more and more rapid.The sound was disturbing for no reason in the dark.

An Zhe: "Doctor?"

Still no reply.

An Zhe frowned, and at this moment, he heard the doctor speaking very fast: "Let Seran answer the phone."

An Zhe quickly walked out of the lounge. Seran answered the communication, and after calling "Doctor", he frowned and said quickly, "I'll be there right away."

—— Immediately afterwards, he picked up the gun on the table, called a few people, and strode out!

An Zhe glanced at the direction he was going, and chose to follow.But those people's speed was too fast, and his speed of climbing the stairs was too slow, and he was one step late.

When he came to the corridor where the doctor's laboratory was located, he heard a gunshot from the depths, followed by the sound of a body falling to the ground.

The doctor was standing in the middle of the corridor, and An Zhe walked to him.

"I... saw that his walking posture was not right from a distance." The doctor gasped, his pupils dilated slightly, his face was pale, and he looked as if he was still in shock.An Zhe looked forward, and saw that Seran had just put away his gun, and the person who fell on the ground was the doctor's assistant. This person was still working with the doctor this afternoon, helping him repeatedly check Sinan's video.

Seran said to the doctor: "Confirm the infection. Is it an experimental exposure?"

infection?

An Zhe immediately thought of the only source of infection in this place, Sinan.

"Impossible." The doctor said: "He doesn't have the authority to open the glass cover, so he can't touch the alien species."

Seran said, "I'll go in and take a look."

"No," the doctor's voice suddenly rose, "don't go there."

Seran stopped and looked at the doctor.

"Do you remember that I once said that if one day, we don't need to contact the alien species at all, we will be infected?" The doctor said with a trembling voice, "It's too abnormal...you have to prepare for the worst."

Seran frowned: "How to support your point of view?"

"There is no way to prove it." The doctor shook his head: "However, you also know that when the monster's tissue fluid is injected into the tail of the experimental animal, at the same time, the head of the animal can observe genetic changes. Those tissue fluids did not participate in the body fluid circulation at all. The whole body of the animal's genes have already changed. Since this kind of thing can happen, why can't infection happen without contact with monsters?"

Having said this, his whole body trembled suddenly.

"Selan," he said in a completely hoarse voice, "downstairs, the downstairs is full of living xenogeneic samples, and there are at least a hundred staff members there."

Seran looked serious: "I'll go down right away."

"Protect yourself." The doctor said: "The farther away from all the living things there, the better within the shooting range."

He didn't say aliens, or humans, but "living things."

Seran nodded. They moved very quickly and scattered downstairs.

In the silent corridor, only An Zhe and the doctor were left.

The doctor seemed to be out of strength, leaning against the cold wall, An Zhe helped him up.

In the silence, the doctor suddenly spoke.

"Aren't you afraid?"

An Zhe shook his head.

The doctor looked at him.

"There seems to be something about you that... people of this age don't," said the doctor.

An Zhe didn't speak, and quietly listened to him continue.

His eyes stayed on An Zhe for a long time, then he took a breath, his lips trembled slightly, as if he had received some extraordinary inspiration, and then he said, "You are so naive... as if you are a bystander."

He said: "Everyone lives in fear, but you are calm and out of tune with everyone."

Speaking of this, he seemed to smile: "I know why Lu Yan likes being with you now."

An Zhe looked at the doctor. The doctor's young face showed a faint haggardness. He seemed a little tired.An Zhe said, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

,

"Thank you." The doctor looked into his eyes, and his tail trembled slightly: "You...you can live safely, that's all."

An Zhe thought for a while, and said, "I will work hard."

He didn't speak anymore. In the corridor, the doctor's soliloquy echoed: "There is no physical contact, and there is no air transmission. Can such a thing really happen?"

No one answered him.

However, a gunshot was clearly heard downstairs.

Then came the second sound.

third tone.

The sound continued, echoing in the building for a long time.

With the sound of gunshots, the theoretical system used by human beings to explain the world has completely collapsed.

The doctor's hand clenched An Zhe's arm, his fingers trembling.

"......why?"
