The Greenhouse Changes

"What is this?" asked Xie Qing King, holding his nose and looking at the bodies and the liquids around them.

"They are creatures held for testing and experimentation. Some are prototypes of something else—like him." Old Cat jumped toward one of the crystal tanks, and he spoke with eyes fixed on it.

Han Sen and Xie Qing King looked at Old Cat, and then observed the strange creatures contained within the tank.

Han Sen could not describe what it was. It looked like a human, but a bug at the same time. It had human limbs, but the head had the eyes of a fly, with the multitude of lenses.

And while the limbs were like a human's, the joints were those of bugs. It looked very weird.

"It's just a disgusting bug." After Old Cat said that, he leaped onto the tank and began slapping it with a paw. He obviously intended to break it open.

"Are you ready? Dead or alive, it doesn't matter: behead the thing as soon as you are able to," Old Cat said to Han Sen.
