"I never thought that a poker-faced person like you could come up with such absurd American-style humor."
"It's like when the professor asks in class what the best-selling commodity was in the eighteenth century, an African American student raises his hand, and the professor claps, saying the answer is perfect."
Master Fuli looked at Unos and quipped.
From the moment the site was opened and the "egg" was seen, there were effectively no good or bad news.
Ansheng felt that if one had to describe and narrate the situation, what everyone was facing was resisting invaders or resisting the erosion of human civilization by a lost civilization.
If one really had to distinguish between good and bad news, the most humorous quip should be said.
Good news, the invader can communicate.
Bad news, he suffers from mental illness.
"......"
Upon hearing this, Unos fell silent and said, "Your joke is truly dark, but I can't laugh because it involves racial issues, and laughing could mean docked pay....."
"You speak as if you were human. When they accuse you of racism, you just say they abuse small animals." Master Fuli quipped again, turning his attention back to the gray-white object suspected to be the "egg."
The thing described by the assault team as an "egg," with an extremely bizarre and distorted appearance, was breathing.
Misty air entered its body, gradually shedding its lifeless gray pallor, restoring its color, turning bright red, and the pair of wings extending from the eggshell grew feathers and turned white.
The nine members of Assault Team 2 worshiped at the egg as if pilgrims, babbling nonsense, seemingly mentally abnormal, as if they had eaten raw mushrooms.
"Hate....."
"Why abandonment....."
"....Lord of the Universe."
"Starry sky....."
While Master Fuli observed the egg, the thing expanded and contracted, emitting sounds similar to moaning in English from some meaningless apertures on its surface as it exhaled.
There were male and female voices, various different sounds, layered and variably intonated.
[Starry Sky... Head to the Starry Sky, they.... I want to head to the Starry Sky.... Return, don't leave me, I want to return to the tribe.... Tribe. — Gradually awakening from slumber, the organism has chaotic logic, with countless memories of fellow patients flashing in its mind. At the last moment of its life, it combined with countless fellow patients, avoiding hospital evacuation disinfection. It is very confused but remembers only one thing at heart: Head to the Starry Sky!]
[Wish Fulfilled: I came to form a wing position (Once upon a time on Blue Star, a plague spread, casting botulinum toxin across mountains and rivers. After the disaster occurred, civilization had reached its end, beings uniformly merged into miraculous life, completing a special ascension, transforming into brilliant light leaving Blue Star.)
(During that ascension, some individuals with genetic defects were mercilessly abandoned. They were destined never to reach the starry sky, remaining on Blue Star, looking up at the light leaving the starry sky.)]
"Brilliant light?"
Master Fuli's expression froze, utterly surprised that the wish list would refresh the egg's wishes.
And the details page revealed a shocking secret past to Master Fuli.
The civilization codenamed [First Epoch], they journeyed to the cosmic starry sky by countless life forms possessing [Perfect Adaptive Genes] merging together, transforming into a single entity and flying directly out.
While some life forms with genetic defects, or other issues, were left on Blue Star.
The management of this psychiatric hospital, during their so-called ascension and departure, locked the hospital and initiated the evacuation disinfection program for severe mutation patients.
Those patients, due to genetic collapse, producing [Cognitive Disorders], were categorized as non-recyclable garbage in the First Epoch society. Their only value was contributing to medicine; otherwise, they were a scourge.
Before their evacuation, the doctors initiated disinfection mainly to eliminate socially unstable factors.
Not everyone could ascend; they could not leave these dangerous factors on Blue Star before departing.
However, the doctors probably did not anticipate that, under the extreme disinfection measures.
One mentally ill patient imitated their ascent to the starry sky within the hospital.
It incorporated living fellow patients, consumed fellow patients dead under disinfection measures.
By normal procedure, the completed ascended single entity was considered a monster traversing the cosmos.
But!
The creatures in the psychiatric hospital were not; they were genetic defectives and gene collapsers.
The conglomerate formed from their mysterious fusion had no so-called brilliant light, no ability to fly to the starry sky.
They turned into an aberrant collective, the uncontrollable Life Blueprint exposed various biological traits, ultimately failing to escape the hospital gate, falling into eternal sleep.
The "egg" in front of Master Fuli.
Was once struggling in death, wanting to survive the disinfection measure, yearning to ascend the starry sky, return to the tribe, a social fringe biological aggregate.
They are still alive.
But they are barely alive physically, inside they've already become a mass of chaos, solely holding the obsession of ascension.
"Though saying this involves some dark jokes....."
"But according to that talkative dragon's account, your civilization, the entire family perished in the universe, so you don't need to worry about your kin living too well. The Range Rover they bought together broke down nine times in three days, and repairing cars made them poor..."
Seeing the "egg" still breathing and showing strong obsession towards him, Master Fuli revealed a trace of sigh and sentiment in his eyes, speaking from the heart to the "egg," narrating the First Epoch's outcome.
All of the First Epoch perished heroically, even bringing down the Second Epoch life forms along into the ditch.
The root of Dragon People civilization's demise lies within the cosmic debris formed by First Epoch life.
Those debris, like computer viruses, infiltrated Dragon People's society's central database, polluting the data pool, thereby castrating all Dragon People's reproductive ability in a single sweep.
Of course.
Dragon People civilization isn't completely extinct; their bloodline still circulates within human groups, just the civilization has ruptured.
"Do you carry Spiritual Particle inhibitors?"
As Master Fuli faced the "egg," silently speaking dark jokes inwardly, Wu Qingqing, upon ascending to the second floor, also saw the "egg," her expression froze, looking towards Unos standing at the entrance to inquire.
"I brought three doses, but I don't recommend you touch that strange thing, because based on my observation, that flesh and blood structure suspected to be an egg seems to possess the ability to bewilder minds and pollute...."
Unos looked at Professor Wu and spoke.
The "egg's" seduction trait, Unos couldn't explain the specific seduction principle.
And the pollution carried by the "egg" was personally witnessed by Unos.
After Assault Team members entered gibberish and mental confusion states, they all touched the "egg."
After contacting the "egg," the redness on their palms quickly faded into pallor.
In about two minutes, those pollutants or toxins spread to their chests. And at their gray-white arm locations, the skin began proliferating, the texture gradually becoming somewhat similar to that of the "egg."
The "egg" is extremely dangerous stuff, not even touchable.
It can guide the rapid mutation of genes within organisms.
If such a thing happens, even in a laboratory environment, Unos couldn't claim he could prevent such rapid gene mutation.
