“Sinan… the fact that Sinan can occasionally be sober is already a one in a millionth chance.”

Then the doctor asked, “Do you know the fusion faction?”

An Zhe shook his head.

“100 years ago, the scientific research strength of the base was very high. Many scientists believed that other organisms could acquire a large body and stronger power through the mutation, adapting to the environment using mutual infection. So why can’t humans?”  The doctor started explaining.

“The first looked at the radiation’s effect on the human body but the more complex the genes of the organism, the lower the chances of a favourable mutation. Humans exposed to cosmic radiation could only get multiple body cancers or other genetic diseases.”

“Later, they thought that genetic infection was a means of human evolution and the ‘fusion faction’ developed. They did a lot of crazy experiments, infecting monsters with various monsters or infecting humans with monsters. They created countless heterogeneous species in order to observe how human genes changed and how to keep the human will. Then they discovered the fragility of the human will and also found that human intelligence was easily obtained by the heterogeneous species. However, some individuals were able to stay away and control the mutation with human thoughts—albeit for a limited time.”

An Zhe listened quietly and saw the doctor make a self-deprecating smile. “This was good news. They applied for more samples and finally eliminated all influencing factors, coming to a conclusion. There is no external way to help a person keep their will. Whether a person can wake up after being infected doesn’t depend on the person’s tenacity. If a person is infected, there is a one in 10,000 chance of retaining consciousness. The other 9,999 will lose their will. It is just a matter of probability. Everything is random, everything is irregular and everything is uncontrollable. Randomness is the most terrible thing for scientists. On the day this conclusion was reached, three scientists in the fusion faction committed suicide.”

“However, some people didn’t lose heart and continued their research. They believed this wasn’t a random result. We just hadn’t found the determining factor or that the determining factor exceeded the range that human technology can understand.”

“…And then?”

“Then there was no fusion faction. All the samples were killed and the research called off.” The doctor’s voice was soft. “In that year, a humanoid water heterogeneous species polluted the water source of the outer city and the entire outer city was exposed. The Trial Court was established and blood flowed like a river for 10 days… That heterogeneous species was a fusion experiment that had acquired human intelligence.”

An Zhe tried to think about and digest the meaning of the doctor’s words. Then he heard the doctor suddenly say, “I have spoken to him for a sufficient amount of time. Have you made a judgment?”
