...If you think about it carefully, you may find that there is nothing strange about this.
People live inside mushrooms, take care of their cultivation, wear clothes made of mushrooms, and step on the ground made of mushroom skins. Even half of the diet consists of various mushrooms... the result of living together all year round.
, that is, whether intentionally or unintentionally, everyone is infected with and carries a large number of spores in their body.
"The old lady decided to use her own life to stop us because she placed her hope on the spores in her body. Once we are infected with the spores released from her body after her death, we will immediately experience the
The feeling of happiness after finding the truth completely makes them a part of the mushroom society - which is what they call themselves, 'servants of the truth'. Through this action, the old lady was able to eliminate a threat to society. Here
People don't value life very much. Perhaps in her opinion, after living for so many years, she can finally use her life to exchange for social stability, which is a very good deal."
"I won't do such stupid things." Bohemia folded her arms and said, "But I don't need to do it. I am an evolved person. Isn't it easy to catch a thief?"
She said this, but her voice was still a little hesitant. Because she lowered her head, her long golden brown curly hair floated to the side of her head, covering most of her face, making her expression unclear.
Lin Sanjiu looked at her for a few times and continued: "I'm worried that after you become a member of the mushroom society, even if you are not forcibly reformed, this kind of thinking and attitude will slowly penetrate into your consciousness. People
I'm much more susceptible to influence than I thought."
She said nothing.
"Just like birds and beasts will carry the seeds far away after eating the fruit...but the situation is slightly different. People should all know that there are spores in their bodies, and have long been accustomed to it. They transport the corpses to a sterile place
The place where mushrooms grow, hoping that after a rain, new mushrooms will grow from the corpse... Do you still remember? When we were entering and exiting the station, the weather was gloomy and it was going to rain soon. At that time
Everyone tells us that today is a good day and new housing will be available soon... That's because it's time for the mushrooms to grow."
"Those disgusting bean sprouts also grew after that rain."
After a while, Bohemia suddenly raised his head, his face was wrinkled into a rag: "So, as long as I get wet, mushrooms may grow out of my body at any time?"
Although he didn't want her to stay, Lin Sanjiu still couldn't lie to her. If Bohemia was going to make a decision that would affect the rest of her life, then everything she heard must be the truth.
"...That shouldn't happen."
She admitted, "In a way, these spores are like bacteria. We usually carry astronomical numbers of bacteria on our bodies and in our bodies, but as long as the immune system functions normally, people can live well. These bacteria are harmful to
We have no influence. I think the relationship between spores and the human body should be similar..."
After all, humans and mushrooms together form an ecological cycle; if spores grow wantonly from living people, affect human survival, and ultimately destroy the balance, the mushrooms themselves will be harmed.
The tightly wrinkled rag loosened and returned to her smooth bohemian face. She waved her hand and thought about it in an instant. She was so free and easy that it shocked Lin Sanjiu: "It's nothing.
Well. There are so many parasitic things on the human body. What difference does it make if I am carrying bacteria or spores?"
If none of these things can make her sway, then the next point may not scare Bohemia away even more. Lin Sanjiu sighed: "...It seems that people here can't have children and reproduce."
"That's not the case."
Bohemia must mention Meijia - yes, Meijia has a mother and a daughter. Not only that, there are also many children of all ages in this society. If they cannot reproduce, where do the children come from? Her conclusion is actually half
They were all based on speculation, and when asked "why", there was no evidence. When she was hesitating about how to explain it, she suddenly realized that these words were not said by Bohemia.
Doctor Cat, who had been sleeping like a puddle of dead pigs just now, sat upright now, his eyes clear and not sleepy at all - he was truly a cat.
Looking back, I saw the receptionist standing not far behind the two people and the cat. I don’t know when he came out. Even the evolvers didn’t hear his footsteps. He stood there with his hands folded and his face was calm.
Gentle, like a leaf accidentally blown by the wind - yes, his temperament is indeed closer to that of a plant like bamboo or orchid than a steaming, loud-voiced human being. Lin Sanjiu lowered his head and looked at him
On the shoes, there was a thick white cushion-like thing vaguely visible on the edges.
When she turned her head, the burning pain from the wound on the back of her head made her mind blurry again. She was in such a bad state now that sometimes she couldn't even react to obvious things; she glanced at the receptionist
, Lin Sanjiu asked: "...how long have you been standing there?"
"Sorry, I walked into the courtyard from the other side of the entrance,"
The receptionist pointed to the side of the low room. From Lin Sanjiu's perspective, he could only see a wall. "You guys were so focused on talking that you didn't seem to notice me. I thought your conversation was very interesting, so I couldn't help it.
I stopped... I happened to hear you say that people here seem to be infertile, so I couldn't help but speak out. I'm really sorry for surprising you."
"Giving birth or anything like that has nothing to do with me."
Bohemia interjected sadly, "I don't know how many years I have left in my life. Who wants to think about something that is impossible to do? It doesn't matter if I can't give birth - but, you here
People should still be able to reproduce, right? Did she guess wrong?"
Even if she has no interest in this, it does not prevent her from hoping that the humans in the mushroom society are as normal as possible. Lin Sanjiu turned to the receptionist and asked in a deep voice: "Is this really the case?"
Although her guess had almost no evidence, she didn't think she was wrong - maybe now was a good opportunity to see if the receptionist was lying.
The receptionist tilted his head slightly, as if he thought this problem was not easy to handle, and lightly scratched his chin.
"Actually, our physiological structure is exactly the same as yours, because we are all human beings. Of course, although the walking corpses modified by ants look similar to us, they are not human beings... In short, the reproductive functions you have
, we have it too.”
Lin Sanjiu felt that he had not finished what he said.
"However, about five years ago," he said embarrassingly, showing a row of white teeth, which made people feel that he was not used to sharing his private affairs with strangers: "...I chose to give up my ability to reproduce."
