"What was that sentence?"
Li Tianyang asked curiously. For some reason, he could clearly sense that this examination had affected Mike deeply.
Mike glanced sideways at him and did not keep him in suspense:
"The sentence was..."
"We are one."
Before the others could reel in bewilderment, Mike shook his head:
"Don't ask me what that sentence means. I don't know either."
"But once I finish telling you what happened, you'll probably have your own interpretation."
Mike stood up and spoke quickly:
"Remember those animal corpses I mentioned?"
"When we explored the research institute's lowest level, we found the previous experiment records."
"According to those records, the researchers here were actually doing just one thing: recording how long these animals took to change and the probability of that change."
"Anemonefish: when no females were present in the group, the time required for males in the group to change into females was 360-720 hours. Probability of change: 99.37%."
"Wrasse: when no males were present in the group, the largest female changed into a male. Time required: 96-140 hours. Probability of change: 99.91%."
"Bluehead Wrasse: when no males were present in the group, the largest female changed into a male. Time required: 168-240 hours. Probability of change: 100%."
"Domesticated Red Junglefowl Subspecies: when no males were present in the group..."
"Hy-Line Brown Laying Hen..."
"Marine Worm..."
As Mike recited the experiment records one after another, the others were momentarily stunned, unable to understand what he was talking about.
But Ye Lin was the first to catch on. Then Li Tianyang's and Yuna's expressions changed at the same time as they realized what those records meant.
"Wait, Mike!"
"Are you saying that lots of animals spontaneously mutate into another sex, or another form, so ghosts follow that same logic...!?"
Before Li Tianyang could
