Wang Ruoxiang hurried down the corridor that led to the sickrooms. The command central was informed of the situation. Tong Ye ordered her to make contact.
'Is this the new symptom of the patients' Locust Sickness? ' But of the 900 plus students, only 150 of them showed this symptom. It sounded like a delusion but they were all kept in isolated sickrooms. They had no contact with them after they were quarantined and there was no psychological suggestion from the medical staff.
'Why would they say the same thing? ' 'Did they think they had become some kind of creature from the future? '
'Yith ', that was how they called themselves but they still had no idea what that meant.
Now the 150 patients were very quiet. They sat on their beds waiting to meet with humans.
These people requested for a face-to-face interview, that was clearly stated in the surveillance feed.
"We know what is happening, we have a common enemy, the flying polypus hydroids."
Flying polypus hydroids, that was the name given by the people but Deng Ximei had just given it to Gu Jun. Deng Ximei could not explain it herself, she just blurted it out but from the looks of it, it was not that simple.
One thing was for sure, these patients were not suffering from delirium.
When Wang Ruoxiang arrived at the hall outside the sickrooms, many colleagues were waiting there. Cai Zixuan walked over to welcome her. "They did not say another word."
As a doctor from the Spell Department, Cai Zixuan had participated in the autopsy on Headmaster Chui so he knew slightly less than Wang Ruoxiang.
"I'll talk to them." Wang Ruoxiang went to the changing room first. She put on a heavy radiation protection suit. She wore the rationality assessment stone on her wrist.
These patients had not consumed the abnormal soil so they should not have transformed into parasites and they should not have the ability to self-destruct. However, Phecda had no idea whether the patients had the ability to self-destruct or not and whether the radiation protection suit could protect them from the radiation. Therefore, this contact was risky.
Under everyone's scrutiny, the command central was also watching the video.
Wang Ruoxiang and the other Ancient Seal soldiers pushed open the sickroom door and walked into the room where Fan Jianguo was.
Fan Jianguo was a middle-aged man in his forties. He had a medium build and wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses. His originally round face was rather haggard, but it was no longer as hysterical and crazy as before. Teacher Fan had woken up from an artificial coma. The muscle relaxant should not have suddenly lost its effect, but this had happened.
In terms of time, he was the first mutated patient, so the command center chose to talk to him.
Seeing them walk in, Teacher Fan's expression did not change. They were all armed with automatic rifles.
"Hello, everyone," Teacher Fan said. The expression in his eyes was a little strange, not like that of a human.
"Hello." Wang Ruoxiang narrowed her eyes and stood three meters away from the bed. "Are you going to tell us what's going on?"
Teacher Fan's voice was as calm as water. "We will tell you some, but not everything. We cannot be certain of everything. The Yith and humans are not enemies, we bear no ill will toward your civilization, only curiosity. Furthermore, we have a common enemy. "
"The Yith is your biological name?" Wang Ruoxiang asked, "You said you came from the future, what does that mean?"
"Yes, we were born before you and we colonized this planet before you did." Teacher Fan explained, "That was several hundred million years ago. When we arrived on this planet, we had a war with the flying polypus hydroids. At the time, we were victorious but the flying polypus hydroids had a unique trait that our race could not overcome. We saw the future of our race's defeat, so we used a technology that transcended time and consciousness to travel to another species of creature in the future. "
Wang Ruoxiang frowned as she listened. Many people at the command central also grumbled internally …
The other party's words sounded a little too exaggerated.
Several hundred million years ago? The dinosaurs were only 160 to 65 million years ago.
The earliest human civilization according to the academic community was formed 6000 years ago.
However, Tong Ye's heart skipped a beat. He did not believe this was just Teacher Fan going crazy or some evil cultist playing tricks on him.
His previous situation, the quarantine circle turning into a life circle … Was it related to the Yith?
"Humans, we've been friends for a long time." Teacher Fan continued, "The Ancient Seal that you use is our technology."
Hearing this, Wang Ruoxiang's suspicion rose. The Ancient Seal soldiers around her raised their guard …
"The rationality assessment stone in your hand is one of them. Pnakotic City was once our home. "
The Pnakotic Manuscripts, Pnakotic City. Wang Ruoxiang instantly understood.
Gu Jun mentioned that he obtained a mental projection of the Pnakotic Manuscripts from the Great Atal, that was how the Ancient Seal came about; Mysterium unearthed a stone artifact decades ago, it was called the Bough Seal and that was how the purification net came to be.
These patients were not suffering from delirium, they knew more.
"How are we supposed to believe you?" Wang Ruoxiang asked with a frown, "Since you know the truth, then you should understand our current situation. We cannot trust your words so easily. Even if the Yith really exists, do you think you're them? "
She had many doubts in her heart. Ever since she was tricked by the Yellow Brotherhood, she understood the need for Gu Jun's paranoia.
Before they made contact, the command central did a quick analysis.
Did the Yith really exist?
Even if they did, were these patients the Yith? Or were they the disguises of evil cultists?
They had some understanding of the physiological effects of the Locust Sickness but they did not know much about the psychological effects.
Could the carriers and the acutely infected exchange their consciousness with each other?
Teacher Fan remained calm, "We have always been a fan of rationality and caution, we are glad that humans have such valuable qualities."
"Then, I have some questions for you to answer." Wang Ruoxiang listed out part of the mission given by the command central, "Do you have any cure for the Locust Sickness? Why do you need to possess the patients? Is that the only way or are there other reasons? Can you help us defeat the flying polypus hydroids and solve the two mutated areas to stop this disaster? What is it that you're after? "
She asked many questions in one go. Her heart was filled with anticipation, she hoped for a good answer, a truthful one …
Right now, humans were too passive and helpless.
"Doctor Wang, you know about the parasite, right?" Teacher Fan answered, "In this case, we, the Yith, are the snail-eating birds."
