"Initial infection, infection process 20 units, 13 animal targets, pointing to arthropod mutation." The doctor came over with a thick stack of reports and put them in front of Lu Xun: "How come there are alien species wherever you go?"

Lu Xun picked up the report.

The doctor crossed his arms and said: "You didn't kill him on the spot."

"I am familiar with the infection characteristics of children." Lu Xun said.

"Then kill it and leave it to me as a sample."

"Whatever."

"Arthropod mutation, there's nothing to say." The doctor looked at the stack of reports in his hand: "Get ready for the meeting, there's an infection in Dongcheng, and there's a child from the Garden of Eden. I've already reported it. It's a small matter."

"Arthropod." Lu Xun said lightly: "Is it related to the Dongcheng incident a few days ago?" "

The final investigation results of the Dongcheng insect tide incident just came out today, and it was characterized as a collective behavior of mutated insects under the pressure of the breeding season." The doctor's voice was very low, and his expression was serious: "But we don't know how they are connected together, and whether there is a commander."

"But... the city is impregnable from top to bottom, and nothing can get in from the outside." He took a deep breath, closed his eyes and thought, and said: "Even if something happened in the city, the alien specimens in the lighthouse should have escaped. Why the children of Eden?"

Lu Xun read the report and looked at An Zhe.

——As Si Nan's teacher, An Zhe has the responsibility to come to the lighthouse with them.

"Where has he been?" Lu Xun asked.

"Always stayed with other children." An Zhe said: "When I got off work last night, they were watching the news and sleeping together. This morning, they took the exam in the classroom, and in the afternoon, they went to the base."

Lu Xun said: "Contact his teacher and the life teacher."

An Zhe responded.

After calling Lin Zuo to explain the situation, he thought for a moment and said, "I can ask him... He's very smart."

Lu Xun said "hmm".

Yu An walked to the glass sealed door - as an infected person, Si Nan was isolated from the others. He now was in a silver-white laboratory.

In the laboratory, there was a very small figure. Si Nan sat alone on the silver-white dissection table, with his head slightly lowered. He was still wearing that expression, as if everything on his face had nothing to do with him.

There was a noise behind An Zhe. Lu Xun's communicator was ringing wildly, which showed the seriousness of the situation. In just two or three minutes, three calls had come here to look for him. He said something to the doctor and got up to go to the corridor.

There was a microphone inside the door. An Zhe picked up the intercom: "Sinan."

Sinan looked at him.

"Do you know what happened to you?" An Zhe asked.

Sinan nodded.

"Then do you know the reason?" An Zhe said: "Did you encounter any strange things in the Garden of Eden?"

Sinan's dark pupils looked straight at him, and that look seemed to penetrate him.

At this moment, An Zhe suddenly understood why there was a difference between aliens and humans that could be distinguished by the naked eye - that kind of eyes, like a, a... thing different from humans. If such a pair of eyes existed on a monster from the abyss, he would not feel any discord.

After a minute of silence, Si Nan said, "No."

"Think about it again." An Zhe tried to guide the cub: "What did you do yesterday? Did you stay with your classmates all the time?"

Si Nan just looked at him with that dark gaze, and no matter what An Zhe asked, he would not speak again.

Just when they were in a stalemate, the doctor's communicator also rang, and An Zhe looked over.

The doctor pressed the hands-free button, and Lin Zuo's voice came over. His tone was very stable, but his speech speed was very fast. An Zhe knew this kind of forced calm performance.

"We retrieved all the video footage in the past three days. He has been with other people. He will leave the monitoring range when he goes to the toilet and occasionally has free time. This is normal. The longest time he is away is more than three minutes. He can only move in the corridor on our floor." Lin Zuo said: "There is nothing abnormal in Eden. Could he be infected on the way to the training base or at the training base? I heard that the infection outbreak rate of children will be much faster than that of adults."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin. Although children are infected faster than adults, based on the degree of morphological changes in his tissue cells, he was infected at least fifteen or twenty hours ago."

Lin Zuo was silent for a while, then said, "In that case, he was indeed infected in Eden - but the other children and teachers in Eden are normal, without any signs of infection."

"Please don't panic." The doctor said, "We are waiting for further orders from our superiors. At three o'clock at the latest, the Lighthouse will work with the Tribunal to conduct infection screening for children who have been active on the sixth floor during that period. Please be prepared to cooperate."

Lin Zuo said, "Okay."

"Thank you for your understanding. If there is nothing else..." said the doctor.

Lin Zuo: "Wait."

Doctor: "Do you have any other clues?"

"No clues, but I hope it helps you." Lin Zuo said: "Sinan has always been a very strange child... His IQ is very high, but his mental state has always been very... detached. I have watched him grow up, and I am sure that his cognition or senses are similar to other children."

"Thank you for letting me know, I will study it." Doctor said: "The Inquisitor is back, we are about to leave, and we will discuss it in detail after meeting."

Lin Zuo said: "Okay."

Lu Xun walked back to the room.

"How is it?" Doctor asked. "

Eden Garden and the training base have been under strict security." Lu Xun said: "We are counting the number, and we will leave in ten minutes."

"Okay." Doctor said.

Lu Xun looked up at Si Nan in the lab: "How are you guys?"

The doctor shrugged.

Lu Xun walked forward and stood next to An Zhe.

Si Nan's eyes slowly turned to Lu Xun, and An Zhe found that his black eyes, which originally had clear edges, had a tendency to blur out, radiating outwards, like the threads of a spider web extending outwards.

Lu Xun said: "10 hours."

An Zhe was stunned. He knew what Lu Xun meant - within 10 hours, Si Nan would completely transform from a human cub into an irrational monster.

He tried to communicate with Si Nan a little more and called out his name.

But Si Nan's eyes were fixed on Lu Xun, and Lu Xun looked back.

Si Nan opened his mouth.

The child's tender voice uttered five words one by one in a cold tone.

"You will all die."

Lu Xun smiled.

He took the intercom from An Zhe's hand.

"No one will die." He said, "Humans will live."

After that, he hung the intercom back to its original place and turned away.
