"The children in that place are all infected with strange hooffoot disease, which is a rare disease caused by RNA viruses. Infected people will have second organs similar to animal organs. Lister is usually responsible for dealing with them."

Seeing that Xia Xiu didn't show any obvious disgust or rejection towards patients with [Qiushi Hoof Disease], the old man continued talking.

With a look of reminiscence on his face, Joseph continued:

"Island City does not have a hub called an abnormal community. When it was first announced that it would become an abnormal state, many ordinary people were confused.

These ordinary people have always thought that the existence of the Holy Lake Orphanage in the taiga and those weird rumors were fiction, but now I tell them that it is all true.

As ordinary people, they feel fear and discrimination against those fake people, and these reactions are normal."

Xia Xiu continued to ask:

"So Lister's job must be difficult, right? In such an environment, he not only has to deal with child protection work, but also faces these special children and society's prejudices."

Joseph nodded and sighed:

"Yes, Liszt not only has to deal with various complex situations in his daily work, but also spends a lot of time and energy caring for these socially excluded children. He needs to deal with not only their physical problems, but also their psychological problems

.He tried to give these children a sense of normal life and give them hope."

The old man continued: "I remember that Liszt also tried to adopt an infected person, a little boy named Noah. He had a slightly protruding antlers on his head, which looked like a small bag. If he wore a hat, outsiders would not be able to see him at all.

He couldn't recognize it, so the child always wore an old hat and tried hard to hide the little bag on his head."

When Xia Xiu heard about Noah, he inexplicably remembered that he was taking in the evil spirits, and after transporting Gouzi and the evil spirits back to the kingdom of heaven [the unknown land] through a special magic circle, he followed the previous instructions to enter the think tank.

The piece of coniferous forest and the blood stain under the wooden house were found through intelligence clues.

Relying on the [Crown One]’s perception and reaction to the surrounding pheromones.

This sudden memory clearly showed Xia Xiu who the owner of that pool of blood was...

He took a deep breath and asked, "What kind of child is Noah?"

Joseph sighed, with a hint of worry in his eyes, "Noah is a very sensible child. Although he suffers from odd hoof disease, he never complains and always tries to adapt to this unfair world. Liszt likes him very much,

I always tried my best to give him more love and care. But after Liszt passed away, Noah's situation must have become not so good.

Without Liszt's protection, the attention and care he received in the orphanage may be reduced. Of course, this may be because I am overthinking it. After all, I don't know much about orphanages. That orphanage is like

It’s like full of secrets.”

When the old man was talking about Noah, he suddenly remembered something and continued to say to Xia Xiu:

"The first clear conflict between Liszt and his wife seemed to be because of this child. Her wife hated Noah's characteristics very much and regarded him as a plague. Even though she behaved well in words and actions, she looked at that child.

The child's eyes are really too... naked."
