For humans, it is very difficult to take back what has been said.

——So things turned out like this.

In the public bathroom on the fifth floor, next to the sink covered with brown rust marks, in front of a row of faucets, An Zhe held a cup of water in one hand and a toothbrush in the other, washing his face carefully. 놛 understands the daily living habits of humans and performs them conscientiously every day, but today, 놛's attitude is more cautious than usual, because 껗校 is right next to 놛.

After finishing, 놛 continued to carefully put away the things and looked at Lu Xun.

Lu Xun had just washed his face with cold water, and the ends of his hair were wet with a few crystal drops of water, like snow beads that had just melted.

An Zhe silently handed the towel to 놛.

Lu Xun took it and said briefly: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." An Zhe said.

놛 thought that what he did was in line with human etiquette, and sharing something was a common action of humans.

놛 handed his cup to Lu Xun.

"Do you want to use it?" 놛 said: "But there is only one."

The base was short of supplies, and the daily necessities allocated to each person were limited. If there were extra needs, they had to go to the black market to buy them. An Zhe only had a cup and a toothbrush, and the black market no longer existed, so there was no place to buy them.

Lu Xun stared at 놛 for about five or six seconds before he took action.

An Zhe lowered his head. The dim yellow light in the bathroom cast a pale gold hue on the edge of the cup. Lu Xun's slender fingers grasped the porcelain-white cup handle and took the cup from his hand. His hand was the one holding the gun. There was a thin layer of silk on the fingertips. When An Zhe loosened his hand, his fingers were lightly rubbed.

Lu Xun didn't use his toothbrush, but simply rinsed his mouth with water in the cup. Then he put away the cup and walked outside. It was

eleven o'clock in the evening. If it were normal, the bathroom and corridor would have been cut off from water and electricity according to the rules of the base, but today all 6 districts entered an emergency shelter state, and the restrictions on water and electricity use were lifted. Moreover, people were in a panic and many people did not sleep. Because of this, even in the middle of the night, there were still other people in the bathroom - those people would secretly look at the two of them while washing or cleaning clothes. An Zhe noticed it, and he knew that Lu Xun must have noticed it, but Principal Xiao didn't seem to care too much.

An Zhe walked in front. The bathroom floor was damp, and there were a few puddles of water on the floor. He had to lower his head and walk to avoid those places.

When he walked to the door, he was suddenly bumped into by a dark shadow at the corner in front of him. An Zhe looked up.

"You -" It was Qiao Xi's voice.

An Zhe took a step back consciously and bumped into Lu Xun's chest. He saw Qiao Xi looking at him, wanting to say something - but his eyes turned and froze there.

An Zhe was in a semi-frozen state, Qiao Xi was blocking the door, neither going in nor out.

At this moment, his shoulder sank slightly, and Lu Xun's finger was on that surface.

Qiao Xi's eyes widened, and An Zhe almost saw the trembling of his pupils. Qiao Xi dodged and lowered her head, took a step back and turned her body to the side, and made way for the door with a respectful gesture.

Lu Xun put a little force on An Zhe's shoulder and led An Zhe out of the door before letting him go.

All this happened in a moment. Anzhe's heart was pounding wildly, and he was tense, fearing that Qiao Xi would shout "An Ze" or say something like "You are not like An Ze" in front of the judge.

However, Qiao Xi did not say a word until they walked out for more than ten steps.

Anzhe looked back at Qiao Xi's profile. The man's fingers hanging at his side were tightly grasping his clothes, and the corners of his mouth were tightly tightened.

Anzhe suddenly realized one thing - in this place, the judge controls the authority of life and death for everyone. Therefore, most people in the base, including Qiao Xi, dare not even talk to the judge.

After walking through the corridor, they returned to the room. Lu Xun did not ask who that person was, and what the relationship was between him and Qiao Xi. Strictly speaking, apart from the fact that they were staying with each other, Lu Xun and he were still just two strangers.

After returning to the room, Lu Xun sat in front of An Zhe's desk, opened the work manual and began to record. He wrote very quickly, and in the column of 6.18, he wrote: Judgment Day, countless people were killed.

An Zhe stood by and watched, thinking about a question again - what is the meaning of such a work manual?

An Zhe said, "You wrote so little."

Lu Xun closed the manual and said, "Please check it."

An Zhe's tone was very matter-of-fact.

An Zhe: "Oh."

Then, An Zhe said, "Change your clothes."

Lu Xun said calmly, "Yes."

An Zhe changed his clothes for the day and put on a very soft white cotton pajamas. After changing, An Zhe got into the quilt and slept on the inside of the bed. There was only one standard single bed in the room of the base, but the bed was not narrow. An Zhe could even roll on it. An Zhe guessed that this might be because there were many burly mercenaries in the base.

So, after An Zhe lay down, the bed was more than enough to accommodate another person.

After lying down, he looked at Lu Xun and said, "I'm ready."

He found that Lu Xun was looking at the supply station assessment manual on the table.

Lu Xun said, "Do you want to go to the supply station?"

An Zhe: "Yeah."

It seemed that he would never be able to go - if the outer city was always occupied by insects.

"Go to the city office tomorrow afternoon." Lu Xun said: "There are many newborns in recent days, and there are not enough people in the city. I have entrusted the city defense to recruit people in the outer city."

As he said that, he stood up from the chair, took off his coat and put it on the back of the chair, and walked towards An Zhe. An Zhe knew that the green eyes were looking at him.

Then he heard Lu Xun continue: "Although you are useless, you can go to take care of the children."

An Zhe wanted to refute what he said before, but found that he could not refute it.

He felt very embarrassed and covered himself with a quilt.

Then Lu Xun laughed, the side of the bed sank, and Lu Xun lay in.

The cold air was very close, and I could hear Lu Xun's breathing. What happened today was like a dream. As an alien, I had to spend a night with the Judge.

"So," An Zhe poked his eyes out from under the quilt and whispered, "Are you still doubting that you are not objectively human?"

"The genetic test passed, and the thirty-day observation period passed." Lu Xun said expressionlessly: "You are objectively a human being."

"What is the observation period?" "

After being infected, within thirty days, the infected person will definitely lose human sanity, without exception." Lu Xun said.

"Then... are there any aliens that haven't lost their minds?" An Zhe asked tentatively: "Although it is an alien, it still has the appearance and thoughts of humans. It just has an additional ability to transform into other creatures."

Although he knew that he was an alien, he also knew that he was quite sober.

"Do you think human will is strong?" Lu Xun asked.

An Zhe didn't know how to answer, but Lu Xun didn't seem to need him to answer.

"It's not worth mentioning, the Lighthouse has done a lot of experiments." Lu Xun said calmly: "Human will cannot overcome the survival instinct of aliens. Instead, aliens gradually eliminate human thinking ability and use it for their own survival. For example, the insects today, the Lighthouse's investigation report has not come out yet, but they unilaterally believe that they are planning to attack."

An Zhe slightly widened his eyes. This is the first time that Lu Xun has spoken such a long speech, and the weight of his words is very heavy.

He said that the will of humans as humans is not worth mentioning in the face of gene fusion. Humans are such weak creatures.

"I don't think it's right." After the judge believed that they were all objectively human, An Zhe felt much more at ease. At least he dared to talk to Lu Xun more: "If you have a strong willpower..."

Lu Xun: "There is no if."

An Zhe frowned and thought seriously: "For example, if you were infected--"

- He was directly covered in the quilt by Lu Xun.

"You will commit suicide immediately." Lu Xun said coldly: "Sleep."

An Zhe thought that Principal 녩 might be sleepy and didn't want to waste time talking to 놛 - in fact, 놛 herself was sleepy. Lu Xun had not rested for forty hours, and 놛 놛 had only slept two or three more hours in Lu Xun's room in the early morning yesterday. 놛 fell asleep almost the moment she closed her eyes.

When An Zhe woke up, he didn't know what time it was. 놛 sat up from the bed. The whole room was still like night, with only a ray of light coming through the gap in the curtains, like weak sunlight shining through the layers of plant branches and leaves piled up in the abyss. After drawing the curtains, the room was still dark. It was cloudy outside.

He took out his communicator and took a look. It was already eleven o'clock in the afternoon.

Suddenly, An Zhe felt that he had forgotten something. He was startled and completely sober. He first looked at the bed - there was nothing, only one person in the room.

Then, he found a piece of paper spread on the table, and a ballpoint pen was placed next to the paper.

An Zhe walked from the bed to the table and picked it up - it was the leaflet "Against the Atrocities of the Judges". It was turned over and a few words were written on the back in black handwriting.

Gone.

Call if you have anything.

Lu

For some reason, An Zhe smiled, thinking that Lu Xun's message was as simple as his work manual.

He put down the message paper, went to the closet, and began to choose clothes to wear to the city office. After thinking for a long time, he finally took out a gray sweater from the closet to change into.

Gray - An Zhe looked up outside.

The sky and the light in the sky were gray and white, very low, just hanging on the top of the buildings. The dark gray clouds gathered in clusters, spreading across the city and the end of the horizon, as if it was going to rain heavily.

I feel very happy and relieved. Mushroom likes rainy days. Moreover, Lu Xun told me yesterday that if I can get through the recruitment of the city defense station, I can go to the city - and the lighthouse is in the city. It seems that I am one step closer to finding the spores.

I decided to forget about Lu Xun digging away my spores.
