Chapter 3 second quarter

On a winter night in the north, with no wind and no moon, two trucks drove in from outside the high wall, and the gate was quickly closed behind them.All that is left is a dim light, and a lonely house number outside the high wall: China No. 091 Meteorological Research Institute. This is the headquarters of 091.It is as deep as a black hole, and no one will ever know how many secrets are hidden inside. "Carry it to the dissection room on the 5th floor of the basement, and notify the 7th group to gather!" Mr. Lei ordered. "Yes." Several youths dressed as workers lifted out a coffin-shaped iron cabinet from the back of the truck. Such a huge insulated cabinet is most suitable for transporting corpses.

On the 5th floor underground, the lights in the corridor are dim, but the operating lights in the dissection room are very bright. Mr. Lei looked gloomy, and we bowed our heads in silence. "There is everything, and people can do everything. Hey, open it, and take a look. The comrades in Kunlun Mountain sent us something incredible." The white cloth covering the corpse was lifted, revealing a black and gray human face—I don’t know how long he had been dead—with obvious bullet holes between the eyebrows and the left temple. "Open it all up," Mr. Lei said. With a bang, the entire white cloth was thrown to the ground.If I had to use an apt metaphor to describe what I saw then, it would be a "mantis in human form".

The face and neck of the corpse were undoubtedly human, but the entire body appeared to be composed of insect tissue.Especially the arms, almost exactly the same as the praying mantis, but much bigger.The entire torso is covered with a layer of biological tissue similar to the chest of a locust, and the legs seem to be human, but with protruding muscles.I think this thing, if alive, should have the ability to be quite agile. "Dangdang", Mr. Lei tapped the corpse's arm, which was the mantis claw, with his finger. "This thing is harder than steel, and it's extremely sharp. Ordinary pistols can't do any damage to it at all. The troops shot it to death at close range with 56 armor-piercing bullets. It's just this thing. Twenty-three villagers were killed, and eleven Soldiers of the People's Liberation Army! You have to figure out for me what this thing is and where it came from! All my life, I don't believe that there are really ghosts and ghosts in the world!"

Mr. Lei patted the operating table so loudly. "Xiaotian!" Mr. Lei said, "What do you think? Let's start with you." Oda is the historical researcher of our group, a girl from Northeast China.Unlike orthodox historians, official history and unofficial history seem to be in her research scope, and she has dabbled in almost all folklore and mythological stories from all over the world.Such talents are necessary in our work. Xiao Tian seemed to be unprepared: "Yes. This... The Kunlun Mountains are more than 2,500 kilometers long, 130-200 kilometers wide, with an average altitude of 5,500-6,000 meters, narrow in the west and wide in the east, with a total area of ​​more than 500,000 square kilometers. They are all considered to be the location of the Chinese dragon. According to legend, Kunlun Mountain is the "lower capital" of the emperor of heaven, and the celestial master is the Queen Mother of the West. All kinds of gods and fairies, rare and exotic animals emerge in endlessly in the mountains, and they have been worshiped since ancient times. It is said that in ancient times, the emperor of heaven was often in the "lower capital". A feast for the immortals, every time at this time, Kunlun, thousands of miles away, soars into the sky, also known as Kunlun, the capital of light!

"Kunlun legends have always been relatively positive in history, and I have never heard of any demons and heretics. I can only recall so much now. For other situations, I have to check the information again." Oda's report. . "Hmm..." Mr. Lei seemed thoughtful, "Wang Hao, it's your turn. What's your opinion?" Wang Hao is our medical researcher, majoring in forensic medicine. His job is to analyze those unknown creatures from a medical point of view. Wang Hao supported his big glasses that were as thick as the bottom of a bottle, and carefully inspected the monster with tweezers: "It doesn't look like it was stitched?" It cannot be explained medically."

"If you can't explain it, just assume it, the most false assumption!" Mr. Lei was obviously dissatisfied with Wang Hao's answer. "Leader, if I have to make a hypothesis, then I can only say that this guy is... born to be like this." Wang Hao had a layer of sweat on his forehead. "Alas..." Boss Lei pinched his temples, "Zhang Guodong and Liu Siyuan stay here, and the others go back first, so they should think about it carefully. There is a detailed report on the incident I brought back at the door. Take a look. All other work will be suspended tomorrow for a comprehensive investigation This! Attention, the report is top secret!"

Mr. Lei waved his hand: "Go." Everyone retreated, and there were only three of us left in the dissection room. "Da Zhang, do you feel it?" Mr. Lei asked, his tone softened a lot. Da Zhang, whose full name is Zhang Guodong, is a native of Beijing, tall and dark, loves to swear, and is 1 year older than me.Because we are close in age and we can get along well, we have a good relationship. This person is rather special. I have to admit that Da Zhang and Mr. Lei have an unusual relationship.It is rumored that Dazhang was a gangster in the suburbs of Beijing back then, and later trespassed on the imperial mausoleum, fortunately he was found and rescued by Mr. Lei who was passing by.I don't know what method Da Zhang used to become Mr. Lei's subordinate.Fortunately, Dazhang is not bad, except for his bad mouth, he manages up and down very well, and no one will gossip after a long time.I've always been curious about their relationship, but Dazhang even kept me in secret.A secret is a secret, and it's not easy for me to ask anything.

Da Zhang shook his head: "Boss, I don't feel anything like this at all." "Xiao Liu, tell me your opinion." "Isn't it caused by infection?" I carefully examined the monster's body. Mr. Lei said: "Probably not, the person injured by it does not currently have any symptoms of infection." "Sudden metamorphosis?" I said, "but the probability of this should be zero. Although insects can transform from reptiles into butterflies overnight, and we call this process metamorphosis, humans are not like insects at all. They are two completely different lives. And there seem to be many human organs in this thing."

"Well, Xiao Liu, come closer, put your hands on it, close your eyes, and see how it feels." Mr. Lei ordered. What a strange order.Although I don't like it, soldiers must obey orders. I put my hands on the cold corpse and closed my eyes.It was pitch black, cold, dark, lifeless, etc... what else?what does it feel like "Okay, tell me, how do you feel?" Mr. Lei interrupted me. "This... this..." I looked frustrated. "A man stands upright and knows everything. What is there to say? Say what comes to mind!" Mr. Lei continued to press. "I can't say it. If I can use an analogy, I think it looks like Lao Li in the cafeteria." I almost couldn't believe what I said.

Mr. Lei's eyes suddenly brightened: "Very well, let's continue, why is it Old Li from the cafeteria?" "This...then it feels as if I used to be in the same unit with it, and we have no friendship, just acquaintance..." I said tremblingly, "It can only be compared like this. This kind of feeling should be called deja vu, right?" Mr. Lei suddenly met Da Zhang's eyes, and they seemed to know some secret. With a "snap", Mr. Lei slapped his 54 pistol on the table: "Liu Siyuan, since you entered 091, have you been wondering if there is any secret in me?"

At that time, I broke out in a cold sweat and thought: "How does he know? I haven't told anyone about it." After a momentary ideological struggle, courage still defeated fear: "Yes, Mr. Lei, the things about you are really incomprehensible to me, so I think about the secrets about you day and night. For example, sometimes I I can even clearly feel that you can invade my mind, which is really unbelievable!" "Then why don't you ask me, but think about it in private?" Mr. Lei continued to press me. "This... this..." I was speechless.Yes, why don't I ask Mr. Lei personally?Forced by his position?Forced by his majesty?Or is there something blocking me somewhere?I really can't tell. "Maybe it's time for us to discuss and communicate." Mr. Lei's tone suddenly softened, "Well, let's do another experiment. Now try to come over and pick up my pistol." What kind of experiment is this?I wonder, how difficult is this? With my head held high, I was about to walk five steps away to pick up Mr. Lei's 54, when I suddenly realized that I couldn't move my body.Then I noticed that Mr. Lei's eyes turned red, and the sense of majesty and oppression on his body appeared in front of me, and it was much heavier. I don't know when, I actually knelt in front of Mr. Lei.I want to move, but I can't move, I want to shout, but I can't, and the scary thing is that my consciousness is gradually blurring.I cast a desperate glance at Da Zhang, hoping that he would come and give me a hand, but he folded his hands and looked at all this indifferently.Consciousness completely disappeared...
