Boom, boom.

"Wait a minute." Ma En straightened his collar in the mirror and lowered his head to check whether he had everything.

Click.

Xu Wenzheng stood in front of the door:

"Look, I'm still alive."

Ma En replied casually:

"I'm not dead either."

The young doctor showed a confident smile:

"You shouldn't lie, Marne, because it will only reveal the fact that you can't do anything."

Ma En was too lazy to pay attention to him:

"Can we go?"

Xu Wen said with a relaxed expression:

"Wait."

Ma En looked at the left side with some surprise.

Liu Yujun was leading Ning Changkong over, and she was followed by two hospital security personnel, but they didn't seem to take this escort mission particularly seriously.

Until they saw Ma En.

The two security guards seemed a lot nervous. Although both the doctor and the police confirmed that Lu Yide committed suicide, they still had fresh memories of this "murder suspect".

"You go ahead and lead the way." Xu Wen said to them, "I'll say a few words to the two patients."

Ma En looked at the girl who looked a little embarrassed.

"I found some friends, but they thought, well..." Ning Changkong quickly explained, "They thought I was mentally ill, and I didn't expect that time was so tight."

Xu Wen asked curiously:

"Do you think I will sit in the office and wait for you to think of ways to deal with me? Although I didn't expect Ma En to warn you, you won't have a chance to struggle anyway.

"This matter is also very important to me."

When Xu Wen said this, he looked more like a winner.

The three of them entered the elevator.

"I have a question." Although Ma En believed that he would interact with Xu Wen after he was discharged from the hospital, he didn't know whether the two parties would have the opportunity to talk at close range at that time.

"Ask." Xu Wen said happily, "I enjoy explaining to losers the reasons for their defeat."

"Why do you want to prevent me from being discharged from the hospital?" Ma En asked curiously, "Is this good for you?"

The girl stood obediently behind them, listening as usual.

Xu Wen looked thoughtful:

"Why?

"Actually, this is very complicated. The bastards from Eastern Federal Pharmaceutical Company are chasing me. They want to kill 'me' and use the remaining body to make drugs.

"And I have a way to deal with them and solve all the problems at once.

"This method requires at least two consumables whose mental strength is close to the standard level I, but the higher the quality, the better. For example, Mr. Ma En, you are my surprise."

The elevator door opened.

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Ma En asked doubtfully.

Xu Wen asked a little funny:

“Do you think the company dog ​​is still alive?

"The moment she walked into my office, death was inevitable.

"I really didn't expect that you would still say harsh words when you were about to die."

Ma En explained casually:

"Just asking."

Because he really planned to kill Xu Wen.

The three of them walked into the single room, while the two security guards stood guard outside. If Ma En and Ning Changkong wanted to escape, they would block their way.

Xu Wen pointed to the hospital bed:

"Sit on it and I'll explain to you exactly what's going on."

Both Ma En and the girl were a little surprised, but they still sat down.

There are several syringes on the table.

Xu Wen stood at the table and began to explain:

"Marn, your attack speed is very fast. In fact, you can directly destroy my brain and die with me, but don't worry, the only one you kill is 'me'.

"How should I put it? You have seen mushrooms, but do you know that mushrooms on the ground are fruiting bodies, which are composed of highly organized hyphae, which have the function of releasing spores.

"But most importantly, it's just part of the fungus."

Young doctor reaches for the syringe on the table.

"Although it is not accurate to say this, you can roughly understand that the fruiting bodies are equivalent to the organs of your animals.

"A long time ago, there was a kind of fungi, which you now call mimics, and they evolved the ability to simulate the body tissues of the parasite.

"They can enter the animal's circulatory system through the air, absorb nutrients there, and grow slowly, and this will not have any negative effects on the host, because they will simulate cells and gradually replace tissues and organs in the organism.

"And these new body tissues will be even better than the original ones.

"Therefore, in the first stage, the physical strength of the parasitized person will be significantly improved.

"Then, they will enter your nervous system, making the host unaware of their existence, and they will also strengthen the host's desire to move and prepare for what's next.

"Entering the second stage, different organisms will have different situations, and the performance of humans is the strengthening of social abilities and desires, as well as a strong desire for friendship and courtship of people with certain characteristics - those who can continue to spread spores efficiently

individual."

Xu Wen rearranged the prepared syringe, raised his finger and pointed at his chest:

"Then, they will spend a long time here to form a fruiting body, and this fruiting body has a very important function besides spreading spores.

"That's the simulated brain."

The young doctor smiled:

"Eventually, the mimetic bacteria will dissolve the host's original brain during a sleep, and send this fruiting body that is completely controlled by itself into the braincase. Don't worry about how this is achieved. At this time, the host's body is likely to

One-third is made up of mimetic bacteria.

"And the mimic brain itself is a complete reproduction of the host. That is to say, when the body reopens its eyes, the mimic brain responsible for thinking only has the memory of the host and has no idea that it is actually the fruiting body of the fungus.

.

"He will regard himself as the parasitized organism and continue to live, driven by the fungus itself to infect various similar species with transmission value for unknown reasons.

"Fortunately for you, the infection rate of mimetic bacteria in humans is very low. It usually takes about ten years of close contact to become infected, and it will take at least ten years after infection to complete the replacement of the fruiting body.

"So according to the estimation of one of my companions, there may be only a few hundred thousand humans in today's society who have been completely replaced by mimetic bacteria, and these creatures are completely harmless to you.

"They all think they are human."

He raised the corners of his mouth nervously:

"Before I looked at my own cells under a microscope, I used to feel like I was one of you."

"Unfortunately for me, by the time I realized what the problem was, the real 'me' had long been killed in my sleep, and the one living in this body...
