Xu Rong suddenly understood. 0
He saw the hesitation of the boss lady while working in the factory, the joy of the students while eating, and the pain of the community residents after becoming addicted... 0
All these memories flowed into "His" consciousness. 0
"Those who went missing..." 0
Xu Rong murmured. 0
"They became my eyes and ears," the voice replied. "Through them, I understood the joys and sorrows of humanity, the meaning of love and sacrifice." 0
Suddenly, an image flashed: it was the Braided Girl, secretly slipping a piece of Crispy Pork Skin into her pocket at the convenience store. 0
Xu Rong felt his heart constrict sharply as he saw the little girl return home and feed that snack to her sick mother... 0
"This is why I changed my plan," the voice softened. "I saw the most beautiful side of humanity. Those Crispy Pork Skins not only altered the genes of those who consumed them but also changed me." 0
Xu Rong felt the burning sensation in his scarred right hand suddenly vanish. 0
He saw his skin return to normal, and the Glowing Symbols gradually faded away. 0
"Now," the voice said, "it is time to end this. But before that, you must understand the true meaning of Crispy Pork Skin—it is not only a vessel for genes but also a bridge for understanding." 0
Xu Rong opened his eyes and found himself back on the playground. 0
The Giant Figure was slowly dissipating, transforming into specks of glowing light. 0
The altered children fell one by one, their bodies gradually returning to normal. 0
Lao Chen rushed over to support Xu Rong: "What happened?" 0
Xu Rong looked at his right hand, where the scar had vanished completely. 0
He whispered, "Crispy Pork Skin saved us. It allowed Him to understand humanity and choose to leave." 0
In the distance, the sound of police sirens grew closer. 0
Xu Rong knew that this nightmare had finally come to an end. 0
 
 
But deep within his heart, that gentle voice continued to echo: 0
"Thank you, my child. Because of you, I have learned to love..." 0
 
Three months later, Xu Rong stood on the playground of Third Elementary School. 0
The sun shone brightly, and the laughter of children filled the air. 0
Yet in his eyes, remnants of that night’s glow still lingered. 0
 
"Officer Xu!" 0
A familiar voice called out. 0
It was the Braided Girl; she had fully returned to normal, but there was a glimmer of wisdom in her eyes that did not belong to her age. 0
 
"Are you doing well?" 0
Xu Rong crouched down to ask. 0
The little girl nodded and pulled out a beautifully packaged snack from her pocket. "This is the new 'Crispy Pork Skin'; Mom said it's safe to eat now." 0
 
Xu Rong took the snack, noticing the packaging boasted " Safety Certification." 0
He recalled the Glowing Symbols from the Underground Factory and the look in the landlady's eyes before she died... 0
 
"Do you know?" 0
The little girl said mysteriously, "Sometimes I still dream about that night. In my dreams, it feels like I can understand what the stars are saying." 0
 
Xu Rong felt his heart constrict suddenly. 0
He knew that those who had been altered might have returned to normal, but remnants of "Him" still lingered within them. 0
These fragments could lead to unforeseen changes... 0
 
Suddenly, his phone vibrated. 0
It was an urgent message from Lao Chen: "Return to headquarters immediately; there’s a new discovery." 0
 
In the headquarters meeting room, Xu Rong was confronted with shocking images: similar incidents involving "Crispy Pork Skin" were reported around the world. 0
In India, a snack called "Moonlight Cookie" granted consumers night vision; in Brazil, a product named "Rainforest Jelly" allowed users to communicate with plants... 0
