Introduction: It is a creature from an alien flying saucer. It is a single-celled organism that can assimilate other cells, and each cell can act independently. The infection period is divided into two phases: one is the incubation period, where the image of a person blends into the crowd to instigate separation; the second is the manifestation period, when the time is turned into an extremely distorted and terrifying form to enhance combat effectiveness. Testing: There are two interesting testing methods. One is the blood assimilation method, which mixes each person’s blood with a blood sample and observes under a microscope. The phenomenon of swallowing the red blood cells of the blood sample is strange; the second is the needle scalding method, which inserts a hot needle into the blood. Among them, strange-shaped blood will be splashed with survival instinct.

  • Fuchs: [whispering] I have to talk to you.
