Soon, only Noer, who was questioning his life, was left in the room.
Noer touched his stomach, even tried jumping and walking a couple of steps, confirming that there was nothing strange about his body; everything was normal.
No, there was still one thing that wasn't quite normal, and that was his brain. He now had a strange sense of detachment.
In a daze, he even felt as if time had slowed down, as if the entire world had become sluggish.
Strangely, facing this situation, Noer felt no fear at all. Instead, he felt a sense of inevitability.
Noer savored this feeling. In this moment, the world he saw was completely different from the world in his memory; it was an indescribable etherealness.
A moment later, Noer, looking around, seemed to have discovered something.
"How is this possible?"
Noer walked to the bedside, picked up a broken strand of hair from his pillow, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink.
When did my eyesight get so good?
Although the pillow wasn't black, it was somewhat dark. Under these circumstances, could someone spot a less than three-centimeter broken hair from five meters away?
I couldn't see it even with a magnifying glass!
"Brother Noer is so amazing, he can even make medicine for himself!"
"You believe that?"
"Why wouldn't I? He even drank it himself!"
"That's because he's got a screw loose! Anna, you absolutely shouldn't learn from him!"
"But seriously, haven't you guys noticed how much Noer has changed since that car accident?"
"We noticed a long time ago, but isn't this better? You all know what he was like before, so gloomy and full of pent-up resentment, it was scary."
"Actually, we can't really blame him. He was already five years old when he came here. A five-year-old child watched his parents die tragically right in front of him... sigh."
"..."
Noer stood in the room on the second floor, listening to the voices from downstairs with a dazed expression.
The orphanage canteen was on the far left of the first floor, and his current room was on the right side of the second floor. Under these circumstances, could a human hear the conversation in the canteen?
"Buzz buzz buzz~"
Before Noer could ponder, a faint sound of flapping wings suddenly came from his ear. Noer turned to look, and after a moment, a bee flew in from the window.
"Drip~ Drip~"
Just as Noer was about to reach out and catch the bee, he suddenly felt a warm sensation in his nostrils, as if clear snot was flowing out.
Noer reached up to wipe his nose, and then...
"I'm bleeding?"
"Bang!"
Looking at the blood on his hand, Noer's body swayed. He quickly reached out to steady himself against the nearby table.
"Huh?"
"Heh heh, I... heh heh..."
"What's happening to me?"
"Didn't they say it would just be weak limbs?"
"Why..."
Feeling the buzzing in his head and his legs gradually losing sensation, Noer was terrified, his face filled with a hint of confusion and shock.
"Bang~"
However, just as he tried to reach out and open the door for help, a bloody filter appeared before his eyes, and Noer's brain immediately shut down. He fell straight down.
Blood, crimson with a hint of black, slowly flowed from the corners of his mouth and nostrils.
Five minutes later~
In the canteen~
"I'm so full!" Anna leaned back in her chair, patting her slightly round belly with satisfaction.
"Heh heh, eat more if you like it," Lenoya Sala walked out of the kitchen with a pot of chicken soup. Seeing Anna's cute appearance, she couldn't help but chuckle.
"Auntie Sala, why don't you stay? Otherwise, where will I get such delicious food in the future!" Anna looked at the chicken soup on the table and licked her lips, but seeing her round belly, she had to suppress her gluttonous desire and quietly reached out a small hand towards the chicken soup.
Sister Aya stood up and tapped Anna's head, saying with a wry smile, "What are you talking about? Dr. Lenoya isn't cooking just for you!"
Lenoya Sala served Asya a bowl of chicken soup and said, "Since everyone likes it so much, I'll be in charge of the meals for the next few days."
"These few days?" Sister Aya looked confused. Didn't she say she was leaving tomorrow?
"Due to some matters, I might have to stay here for a few more days," Lenoya Sala explained.
"Auntie Sala isn't leaving?" Anna put down the chicken soup and looked at Lenoya Sala with shining eyes.
"Hmm, it might be delayed by a few more days," Lenoya Sala said with a smile.
"Hooray! I finally don't have to eat Sister Aya's..."
"Hmm!?"
"Uh... nothing!"
Anna said, then slowly sat back down and quietly picked up the chicken soup. However, her crescent-shaped eyes made Sister Aya across from her grit her teeth.
Lenoya Sala chuckled, patted Anna's head, and sat down. She really liked this warm and harmonious atmosphere. Come to think of it, ever since Athrun was taken to the moon for his studies, she hadn't cooked for him in many years.
"Auntie Sala..."
Just as Lenoya Sala was thinking about Athrun, Anna, who was beside her, seemed to have thought of something and quietly reached out to tug her sleeve.
"What is it?" Lenoya Sala asked, looking at Anna's cautious demeanor with some curiosity.
"Do you still have that seasoning? Can you give me a bit more?" Anna said cautiously.
"Seasoning? What seasoning?" Lenoya Sala looked confused, not remembering having any seasoning.
"The one from a few days ago," Anna quickly said.
"A few days ago? Oh, you mean that."
Lenoya Sala suddenly smiled. The excuse she had casually made back then had actually been remembered by this little kid.
"Yes, yes, yes, that's the one, can you give me a bit more?" Anna asked, nodding.
"What do you want that for?" Lenoya asked with a smile.
"To eat! You have no idea how difficult Sister Aya's cooking can be..."
"Hmm?"
"Sister Aya's cooking is the most delicious!"
Anna quickly corrected herself.
"You'll pay for this later!" Sister Aya raised an eyebrow and sneered.
"Actually, I lied to you. That thing isn't seasoning, it's not edible," Lenoya Sala took this opportunity to tell Anna the truth.
Given Anna's gluttonous nature, she was truly afraid Anna would sneak the Gene Potion and eat it when she wasn't paying attention.
"Not edible?" Anna froze as if she had heard something unbelievable.
"Yes, not edible. It's a drug in the experimental stage." Seeing Anna's reaction, Lenoya Sala silently made up her mind. She would have to lock the Gene Potion up more carefully when she got back.
Otherwise, it would be troublesome if this little foodie actually took it and ate it.
The destructive power of that Gene Potion on the human body was more terrifying than a gene virus. None of the test subjects (animals) survived, and the longest survival time was less than five hours.
"Auntie Sala is lying! It's clearly edible!" Anna was provoked.
"Heh, I'm not lying to you. It really isn't edible," Lenoya said helplessly. Maybe she should just lock the Gene Potion on the shuttle later.
"It's clearly edible, Brother Noer ate it!"
"Really... What did you say?"
