The old man put down his fishing rod and asked, "How do you know my name?"
I said: "In our world, I also know a professor named Xiao Qian who looks exactly like you."
Professor Xiao said: "The other me in the parallel world, um, what kind of person is he?"
I said, "Like you, knowledgeable and respected."
Professor Xiao said: "Really?" Pointing to the stool, "Sit down." Seeing Zhao Zhuo walked to the corner and squatted down, he asked, "What's wrong with him?"
I said, "He seems to be insane. We came just to ask you to see, can it be cured?"
Professor Xiao looked at Zhao Zhuo again and said: "He is not insane, but his memory has been erased."
I said: "Erase? What do you mean?"
Professor Xiao said: "Stars catch people. Before transplanting other thoughts to them, they must erase the memory of this person. This is the case with most of your companions, but I don’t know why. Your companions have not been transplanted with thoughts. , If it has already been transplanted, he will kill us when he sees us."
I nodded, thinking that Yang Shoulin was going to kill me and Ming Han. It seemed that the star had already transplanted his mind. Said: "Can Zhao Zhuo be cured?"
Professor Xiao said: "He is already a useless person, what else is he doing to save him?"
I said, "Because he is my companion."
Professor Xiao stared at me for a long time and said coldly: "You are very pedantic, a cripple, why are you saving him?"
Ming Han hadn't spoken until he heard Professor Xiao's words ruthlessly. He couldn't help it anymore. When he slapped the table, the water glass on the table was overturned, and he said angrily:
"Xiaoqiang just said that you are knowledgeable and respected. I don't know if you are knowledgeable or not, but when it comes to morality, hey, I don't think so."
Professor Xiao smiled indifferently, but An Daoqiang, who was standing behind him as soon as he entered, was irritated and said sharply, "You dare to be rude to Professor Xiao!"
Ming cold laughed: "What's the matter, do you want to do something with me?" He said and stood up.
Alice quickly stopped Ming Han: "Don't be like this, Professor Xiao didn't say nothing."
Professor Xiao laughed: "You two lads are very interesting. It is so affectionate, much like when I was young." Then he straightened his face.
Said, "I am not being cold and not saving him, but I have more important things to do, and I really can't spare time."
Ming Han said: "What is the important thing?"
Professor Xiao said: "Destroy the star people and regain the star continent!"
When Ming Han heard it, it was indisputable.
I thought for a while and asked Professor Xiao: "If you want to destroy the stars, you have to know where they are? Do you know?"
Professor Xiao shook his head: "I don't know yet?"
I said, "That's right, so you have to find a way to save Zhao Zhuo."
Professor Xiao was taken aback: "Why?"
I said: "If Zhao Zhuo recovers his memory, he won't be able to take you to the star man's lair? And, maybe there is more information."
Professor Xiao gave an "um" and nodded: "It makes sense, okay, you leave Zhao Zhuo behind."
When Professor Xiao promised to treat Zhao Zhuo, Ming Han and I looked at each other and smiled and said, "Thank you."
Professor Xiao shook his head: "You don't have to thank me. The reason why I agreed to treat Zhao Zhuo is for the sake of our great cause."
I said: "No matter what, I have to thank you. Stars are our common enemy, and the enemy's enemy is a friend. Speaking of which, we are people on the same front."
Professor Xiao said: "That's not necessarily true. I still have a condition. If the star people are really eliminated someday, you have to leave the Star Continent."
I was taken aback: "Why?"
Professor Xiao said: "It's very simple. After all, we are not in the same world. You don't belong here."
I nodded slowly: "Well, I promise you."
Professor Xiao said solemnly: "That's it."
A strange thought suddenly popped up in my heart: "If there is a day when the Clean Stars are eliminated, we and Professor Xiao will lose the foundation of the alliance. At that time, maybe everyone will become an enemy."
Seeing that Professor Xiao had finished speaking, he got up to leave and quickly asked: "Professor Xiao, I have another question to ask you, how did the virus come from, was it developed by the stars?" This is a question in my heart. .
Professor Xiao groaned: "Maybe not, I'm not sure, but the culprit who infects the human body and makes people mutate into cannibalism is not a virus, but a fungus.
. "
I don’t know the difference between a virus and a fungus. I wonder: "Fungus?"
Professor Xiao nodded: "Fungus."
I said: "What fungus has such great magic power?"
Professor Xiao said: "Don't underestimate the trivial fungi. In the biological world, fungi are the most innovative. Some fungi that parasitize animals have been trying to possess the ability to manipulate their hosts during thousands of years of evolution. "
Ming Han said, "This is the first time I have heard it. What is a fungus, anyway?"
Professor Xiao said: “Well, fungus is a kind of eukaryote with eukaryotic and spore-producing, and no chlorophyll. It is independent of animals, plants and other eukaryotes. The growth mode is similar to that of plants, and the nutritional intake is similar to that of animals. In other words, it has both plant and animal characteristics."
Ming Han straightened up and listened attentively. As Professor Xiao said, he seemed to have come to talk about Xing. He sat down again and continued:
"You don't know that there are about 250,000 species of fungi in nature, and one of them is called Black Skeleton, named because it looks like a human skeleton."
"It can infect insects, manipulate insect behavior, and turn insects into a puppet."
Ming Han said: "This is a bit interesting, how did you do it?"
Professor Xiao said: "Let me give you an example. For example, if the black skeleton fungus infects the weevil, it will manipulate the weevil to climb onto the branch, spread its wings, and expose the fungus attachment on the abdomen. More weevil. For the nose worm, the black skeleton fungus is a bad and evil creature."
I said, "Is it the black skeleton fungus that infects the human body?"
Professor Xiao said: "No, the black skull fungus only infects insects and does not infect the human body. But the fungus that infects the human body is a mutant fungus created based on the black skull fungus."
I trembled: "Who is it that has lost all conscience and developed this mutant fungus that exterminates humans?"
Professor Xiao said: "I don't know, but I tend to think that this mutant fungus comes from your world."
Ming Han stretched out his palm and patted the table, cursing: "If you let me know who did it, I have to stab him to death! Let this wicked person die unspeakably!"
