… if you think about it, you might find it unsurprising.

People live inside the mushrooms, take care of growing them, wear clothes made of mushrooms, step on the ground paved with the skin of the mushrooms, and even half of the recipes are all kinds of mushrooms... The result of living together all year round, That is, whether intentional or not, everyone is infected with a large number of spores in their bodies.

"That old lady decided to take her own life to stop us because she put her hope in the spores in her body. Once we got infected with the spores that were released from her body after she died, we immediately experienced that The happiness after finding the truth, completely become a part of the mushroom society - that is, they call themselves, 'servants of the truth'. Through this action, the old lady can eliminate a threat to the society. The people here She doesn't cherish life very much, perhaps in her opinion, after living for so many years, she can finally use this life in exchange for social stability, which is a very good deal."

"I wouldn't do such a stupid thing." Bohemia said with arms crossed, "but I don't need to do it. I'm an evolutionary, isn't it easy to catch a thief?"

Having said that, her voice was still a little hesitant. Because she lowered her head, her long golden-brown curly hair floated messily beside her head, covering most of her face, making it difficult to see her expression.

Lin Sanjiu sized her up and continued, "I'm worried that after you become a member of the mushroom society, even if you are not forcibly transformed, this kind of thinking and attitude will slowly penetrate into your consciousness. It’s far more susceptible than I thought.”

She was silent.

"It's like birds and beasts take the seeds away after eating the fruit... but the situation is slightly different. People should all know that they have spores in their bodies, and they have long been accustomed to it. They transport the corpses to places where there are no mushrooms. The place where it grows, I hope that after a rain, new mushrooms will grow from the corpse... Do you remember? When we were going in and out, the weather was gloomy and it was about to rain. At that time, everyone Everyone told us that today is a good day, and there will be new housing coming out soon... that's because the time has come for the mushrooms to grow."

"Those disgusting bean sprouts also grew after that rain."

After a while, Bohemia suddenly raised her head, and her face was wrinkled into a rag: "So, as long as I get water, 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 is to make a decision that will affect the rest of her life, she must hear all the truth.

"...That shouldn't be the case."

She admits, "In a way, these spores are like bacteria. We also carry astronomical numbers of bacteria on and in our bodies, but as long as the immune system is functioning properly, people can live well. We can't make an impact. 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, affecting human survival, and ultimately disrupting the balance, the mushroom itself will be damaged.

The tightly wrinkled ball of rag loosened and returned to the smooth Bohemian face. As soon as she waved her hand, she thought about it in a blink of an eye, but Lin Sanjiu was taken aback by her ease and ease: "It's nothing. There are so many parasitic things on people's bodies. Is it bacteria or spores that I carry? the difference?"

If none of these can shake her, then the next point may be even more intimidating to Bohemia. Lin Sanjiu sighed: "...The people here don't seem to be able to bear and reproduce."

"It's not like that."

Bohemia must mention Mika - yes, Mika has a mother and a daughter. Not only that, but there are also many children of all ages in this society who cannot reproduce, so where do the children come from? In fact, half of her conclusions are based on guesswork. When she was asked "why", she couldn't come up with any evidence. When she was hesitating and didn't know how to explain it, she suddenly realized that this sentence was not from Bohemia. of.

Doctor Cat had slept like a puddle of dead pigs just now, but now he sat up and his eyes were so clear that he didn't feel sleepy at all—as expected of a cat.

Looking back, the receptionist was standing not far behind the two people and one cat. I don't know when he came out, and even the evolutionaries did not hear his footsteps. He stood there with his hands folded, his face was light and gentle, like a leaf blown by the wind unintentionally—yes, his temperament was indeed closer to bamboo or orchid than a steaming, loud human being. plant. Lin Sanjiu looked down at his shoes, and vaguely saw what looked like a thick white cushion on the edge.

When she turned her head, the burning pain in the back of her head made her mind blur again. She is in such a bad state now that sometimes she can't even react to obvious things; after glancing at the receptionist, Lin Sanjiu asked, "...How long have you been standing there?"

"Sorry, I entered the yard from the other side entrance,"

The receptionist pointed to the side of the low room. From Lin Sanjiu's point of view, he could only see a wall. "You were talking so intently that you didn't seem to notice me. I thought your conversation was very interesting, so I couldn't help but stop... I just heard you say that people here seem to be infertile, so I couldn't help but speak out. Let You were surprised, and I'm really sorry."

"Birth or something, it has nothing to do with me."

Bohemia interjected slyly, "I don't know how many years I have left in this life, who should think about that kind of thing that can't be beaten. It doesn't matter if you can't live - but, you people here. It 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 wishing that the human beings in the mushroom society are as normal as possible. Lin Sanjiu turned to face the receptionist and asked in a deep voice, "Is it really like this?"

Even though her guesses were almost unsubstantiated, she didn't think she was wrong—perhaps this was a good time to see if the receptionist was lying.

The receptionist tilted his head slightly, as if he felt that the problem was not easy to handle, and scratched his chin lightly.

"In fact, our physiological structure is exactly the same as yours, because we are all human beings. Of course, although the walking corpses that have been transformed by ants look similar to us, they are not human beings... In short, you have reproductive functions, We have too."

Lin Sanjiu felt that his words were not finished.

"However, maybe five years ago," he showed a row of white teeth embarrassedly, making it seem like he wasn't used to sharing his private affairs with strangers: "...I chose to give up my reproductive ability."
