The spore’s mycelium just touched his fingertips. An Zhe knew it didn’t understand. Then the next moment, the spore’s mycelium suddenly moved slowly in one direction. They left An Zhe’s fingers, falling down onto the surface of Lu Feng’s black uniform and continuing to crawl forward.

An Zhe looked at this scene. It wasn’t the first time the spore had made such a move and An Zhe couldn’t help smiling. “Why do you like him so much?”

The spore stopped on the edge of An Zhe’s hand and scratched his fingertips again, unable to speak. An Zhe gently sighed and placed it on Lu Feng’s body. After being put down, it used its soft mycelium to crawl onto Lu Feng’s chest and spontaneously entered his pocket. It seemed happy, as if it had long wanted to do so.

An Zhe watched this scene. He couldn’t understand why the spore was so close to Lu Feng or why things had come to this point. He took a piece of paper from his backpack, placed it on the coffee table and wrote on it.

“It is mature and not the same as before. You can raise it in a place where it is always wet.”

“It needs a lot of water and is afraid of rodents and insects.”

“If you are doing research, don’t let it be hurt too much. Don’t let it die.”

“Thank you for taking care of me all this time.”

“I’m going.”

Leaving the note aside, he reached into Lu Feng’s front chest pocket and took out the bottle filled with the tracking agent, opening the lid. The pale green liquid poured out and flowed down through the gap in the floor. Finally, he let go and there was a clear sound as the bottle was smashed against the floor.

As if making a crucial decision, he reached out to remove the badge from Lu Feng’s chest, placing it in his pocket. He carried his backpack and took one final glance at Lu Feng before walking out of the room.

Xi Bei saw him and asked, “What are you going to do?”

An Zhe replied, “Go out and see what happens.”

“Okay.” Xi Bei seemed to have regained a bit of calmness. “Be aware of your safety.”

“Yes.”

He pushed open the rusty security door and took one step back. Then he glanced back into the room, looking through the skeleton on the sofa to the door of Lu Feng’s room. The grey door seemed to hold a silent appeal. If it was possible, if he had no worries, he would’ve liked to stay beside Lu Feng like the spore. However, this wasn’t possible.
