On the grey-white wall, there was a rectangular area that was white and around the size of a photo frame. There was nail marks at the four corners of the white area and it seemed that this place once had a photo frame but it was taken off. Below, the place where the date of birth and date of death were engraved as also scraped away, leaving only mottled traces. An Zhe worked hard to identify it but could only see that it was a string of letters beginning with the capital P.

Seraing saw him stop here and explained, “It is said that this was the first judge and the person who introduced the Judge’s Act and established the trial system.”

An Zhe wondered, “His photo has been taken away?”

“Yes.” Seraing explained, “In the end, he questioned the legitimacy of the judge system and betrayed the base.”

An Zhe nodded. The human mind was hard to fathom and he didn’t ask.

Seraing put him in a lounge. The geomagnetic field had disappeared and everything was in chaos. The logistics department and emergency response department must be in a state of chaos. All the residents living at the base were panic stricken but they had to sleep first and wait for the military’s refuge arrangements.

Footsteps could be heard upstairs and next door, Seraing was talking to people like he was arranging the follow-up work of the Trial Court.

In the dark room where the outside couldn’t be seen, An Zhe could only hear his heart beating. Inexplicably, there was a strange feeling. He looked up into the depths of darkness and the feeling was indescribable. He seemed to feel a huge wave. He, Seraing, the entire human base and everything in the world were just a tiny part of the indescribable wave, which vibrated and changed, making tiny ripples. There was a saying in the textbook called ‘the torrent of fate.’ An Zhe thought this was very appropriate. The only thing that wasn’t appropriate was that the fluctuations seemed to exist around the entire world and it wasn’t just a metaphor or his imagination.

Just then, his communicator rang. It was a call from the doctor.

The doctor asked him, “Lu Feng took off. Where are you?”

An Zhe truthfully told him.

“Just be safe. I finished the emergency meeting at the Lighthouse and will be going back to the laboratory to rest. You should also have a good rest.”

“Okay.”

The doctor seemed to be climbing the stairs. After a while, he spoke again, “I was thinking about Sinan’s actions this morning. He reminded Lily to return to the Garden of Eden. Did he predict the disappearance of the magnetic field? Heterogeneous species have different sensing organs and perhaps certain organisms have a sensitivity to the magnetic field.”

An Zhe said, “Maybe.”

Thinking about it, he added, “But it is far away.”
