Chapter 2 Chapter One

This story is related to a person in a story I described before, and that person's name is Zheng Baoyun. Do you remember this person? If it is a friend who has been watching me describe all kinds of weird stories and has a good memory, he must be remembered.By the way, he is the protagonist of that story. The story titled "Corpse Transformation" is not very long, nor is it full of twists and turns, but it is extremely suspenseful: Zheng Baoyun is very likely to be an alien male and A "hybrid" of Earth females. I say "very likely" because although various evidences pointed out that his father was an alien, at the last moment, he came into contact with the secret left by his father, but he destroyed the secret, and then , he became a lunatic, and according to the doctors of the asylum, a lunatic in his condition is the most hopeless lunatic.

All of this is recorded in the story of "Dead Change". If you are interested, you can find it here. Naturally, I won't repeat it here.I just want to add that although it has been many years, I still remember the situation after the incident very clearly. Zheng Baoyun is a rich man, suddenly he became a lunatic, and he left behind so many complicated things to deal with. His mother, Mrs. Zheng, recognized me as her villager. Zheng Baoyun suddenly went crazy, so she was naturally heartbroken. She is a typical rural woman who has no modern knowledge and does not know how to deal with it, so when she burst into tears and snot and asked me to help her deal with the aftermath, I reluctantly agreed.

In fact, I am not good at dealing with such a complex and huge enterprise group business, so all I can do is to entrust several reputable local law firms to classify the huge enterprises and select them that can make a stable profit. The reservations that required brains and risks were all sold and terminated, and a large sum of cash was collected. In that way, not only Mrs. Zheng can live a worry-free life, but if Zheng Baoyun recovers from his madness one day, it doesn't matter whether he likes defending or attacking. Now, it's easy to say, but it took me more than half a year to deal with it.

Afterwards, Mrs. Zheng was still heartbroken, but she still did not forget to ask me what reward I wanted. I still remember the scene very clearly—originally, these experiences were not worth mentioning again, but after many years, things suddenly changed again, so I had to find out the old things and talk about them again. When I had settled everything and was about to say goodbye and leave, the place was in Zheng Baoyun's study in the Zheng family's huge mansion.Zheng Baoyun's study room is the study room his father used to have when he was alive. The furnishings are antique and almost none of them are not antiques.

Mrs. Zheng didn't know why her son went crazy.I couldn't explain it to her either.In fact, I am not 100% sure about the real reason for Zheng Baoyun's madness.So far, I can only speculate that he became crazy because he knew that he was a "hybrid" between aliens and earthlings, and couldn't stand the stimulation. But I've been skeptical.Although Zheng Baoyun is quite neurotic, he can even be said to be quite abnormal-at first he asked me for help, but when I learned the secret of his life experience, he actually sent someone to murder me, but in the end, he had to cooperate with me .

A person who is emotionally unstable like him is naturally less able to endure mental blows than ordinary people, but could it be so bad that he would be so completely crazy just because his father is an alien? His appearance is exactly the same as that of an earthling. After he was born, his father was happy that his son was different from him. Zheng Baoyun could live as an earthling, but he went crazy.This is the reason I've been suspecting otherwise. So, when Mrs. Zheng started to cry again and asked me "Why is A Baohao going crazy", I could only answer with a wry smile: "Old lady, there are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have good fortune and misfortune."

Mrs. Zheng wiped her tears, and I kept the doctor's words away and comforted her: "You don't have to be too sad, he may be thinking about something for a while, he will be fine in a few days, just keep doing things and marry a wife , let you hold your grandson, you—" I still want to find something to say, but although Mrs. Zheng has no knowledge, she is not stupid at all. She sighed and interrupted me: "It's going to be good, I have to resign myself to fate. These days, Thank you for your hard work, you...should give you something..." I hurriedly said: "Grandma, there's no need, I can still get by."

Mrs. Zheng sighed again. At this moment, in the study where Zheng Baoyun went mad, I couldn't help being very sad.Zheng Baoyun found the cupronickel box at the bottom of the lotus pond, and found a small book in the box, he read it alone, I don't know if he finished reading it, and I don't know what is recorded in the small book. Because we suspected that it belonged to aliens, his father, Zheng Tianlu, wrote the following words on the cover of the small book: "I hope this small book will not be discovered. If it is discovered, I hope the discoverer is mine. Descendants."

With such an explanation, of course the things recorded in the little book are related to his origin. I can't judge whether Zheng Baoyun went crazy when he tore up the little book and swallowed it, or he went crazy after swallowing it, or he swallowed the little book after going crazy. In short, the scene at that time was very horrifying , the kind of laughter that Zheng Baoyun made, in retrospect, can't help but make people feel cold all over. When I repeatedly declined and Mrs. Zheng persisted, I saw the cupronickel box still on the desk, and the box was still open.After Zheng Baoyun inserted the special key, he didn't have the courage to open it, so he asked me to open it for him. I took out the small book and gave it to him.

After he suddenly went crazy, it immediately caused great chaos, and the chaos continued. Although there were countless people entering and leaving the study, no one paid attention to the box. At this moment, I saw the empty box, and Mrs. Zheng was so persistent, I could only sigh and point to the box: "This box used to contain very important things... now it's empty... give it to me." Let me keep it as a souvenir." Mrs. Zheng naturally agreed, and took off a green and transparent jade bracelet from her wrist, and put it into the box: "There is no reason to give away an empty box, this bracelet is not bad──"

I hurriedly said, "Grandma, I don't want to—" Mrs. Zheng glared at me: "It's not for you, it's for your wife. God bless you all safe." The old man has a very kind heart, so I couldn't refuse any more, so I accepted her favor and left with the cupronickel box in my arms. The structure of the cupronickel box is very peculiar, its size is not small, it is about the same as an ordinary briefcase, but the space inside is very small, it can only hold a small book that can be swallowed in a minute .The rest are all solid.It looks like a whole piece of copper has been dug out, and it is extremely heavy. When I got home, I opened the box in front of Bai Su and showed her the bracelet that Mrs. Zheng gave her, and at the same time narrated the whole incident to her, Bai Su listened with great interest. After I finished speaking, she was very sure: "Zheng Tianlu is naturally an alien, this should be certain." I nodded: "I'm also sure, Zheng Tianlu doesn't know what planet he comes from? He looks almost the same as the earth, but the bone structure is a little different. The aliens on this planet have very interesting personalities. The rich man married another country girl." Bai Su tilted his head: "The process of his marriage is also quite mysterious, it seems that after careful selection, he chose Zheng Baoyun's mother." I also laughed: "I don't know what is his criteria for choosing a mate?" Bai Su walked back and forth a few steps, I just said casually, but Bai Su started to think seriously, I just wanted to tell her not to think about it, because this question is meaningless.But as soon as I waved my hand, Bai Su already had the answer: "I think he must be picking a woman from Earth who can bear him a child. His goal is to have a son." I was stunned for a while, and Bai Su said again: "In Mrs. Zheng's narration, when she mentioned her pregnancy, one of her husband's words was: 'Neither he nor they could think of it.' He refers to Zheng Tianlu, they, naturally It is the same kind of Zheng Tianlu, so it can be seen that Zheng Tianlu has always been in contact with his own star." I was a little shocked by Bai Su's words, and I agreed with her statement: "Zheng Tianlu ordered in his will that his body must be properly protected. Did the act of digging it out from the ground destroy Zheng Tianlu's original plan?" There is no way to answer all these. At that time, Bai Su and I just thought about it and let it go without further research.Bai Su just said: "It's a pity that Zheng Baoyun turned out to be a lunatic. If not, he is the next generation of the first interstellar marriage in human history." I smiled wryly: "He became a lunatic because of this." Bai Su said again: "Generally speaking, people of mixed race are smarter. Zheng Baoyun is a man of alien race, so he must be more intelligent!" I recalled my dealings with him, and shrugged: "I'm not flattering, I just think he's weird—" After saying that, I suddenly had a wild idea: "Interstellar marriage... Is Zheng Tianlu really the first case? Zheng Baoyun may not be the first interstellar hybrid. Maybe there are many interstellar hybrids mixed in. Live between us." Bai Su thought for a while then said: "I hope Zheng Baoyun can return to normal." I repeated the doctor's words: "He is the most hopeless madman." This is the end of the discussion about Zheng Baoyun. I also randomly put the cupronickel box and the key into the storage room. I have never even touched it for a long time, and I have completely forgotten it.However, things suddenly took an unexpected turn.Of course, my friends have already expected that the mutation happened to Zheng Baoyun.That afternoon, Wen Baoyu, Liangchen, and Jingjing had just left, and my ears were still buzzing from the noise the three of them had been making for half an hour just now, and the phone rang. I picked up the phone, and the caller announced his name: "I'm Dr. Feller, and I'm working in a mental sanatorium in Manila." I froze for a moment, and just said "hmm". Dr. Feller continued: "We have a patient named Zheng Baoyun---" As soon as I heard Zheng Baoyun's name, I suddenly thought of it, and the past came to my mind—memory is a very strange phenomenon. The actual experience of a thing may be extremely long, but even if it lasts for ten or eight years Well, when you recall this incident, you can recall it all at once in a very short time. I thought of everything about Zheng Baoyun, and couldn't help but let out an "ah", thinking that the news from the hospital must be bad news; after going crazy for several years, what good news will there be? However, the other side of the phone said: "Mr. Wesley, our patient... has a very strange phenomenon. He... insists on seeing you." I was taken aback for a moment, not understanding what that meant.After Zheng Baoyun was admitted to the hospital, I went to see him several times. Every time, he either laughed wildly or stared without making a sound. The doctor said that he even lost his language function. How could he "insist on seeing me"? If he can "insist on seeing me," it proves he can at least express himself. Thinking of this, I was very happy: "Zheng Baoyun, he recovered? When did that happen?" Dr. Feller hesitated for a moment: "It can't be said to be cured. The situation...is very special. If possible, Mr. Wei, it's best to come to the hospital." His words were flickering, and there were still some problems.I thought about it for a while, but before I answered, Dr. Feiler said again: "Although Mr. Zheng is a rich man, it seems that there is no one who can take responsibility for him. His mother passed away last year. You are in the hospital records. His only contact." Dr. Feller was probably afraid that I would not go, so he reminded me that I have a certain responsibility to Zheng Baoyun. Indeed, I was the one who sent him to a mental hospital when he went mad, so I became his natural contact.As human as human beings are, once Zheng Baoyun became a lunatic, all kinds of followers in the past naturally disappeared.Dr. Feller told me the news of Mrs. Zheng's death again. Thinking of that old lady, I couldn't help feeling very sad. I am very sympathetic to Zheng Baoyun's situation, even if there are no doubts to be found in him, I should go and see him after he has recovered from his long illness, so I said: "Okay, I will come as soon as possible, please go ahead Tell him, I will come to see him." Doctor Feller's voice was very happy, and he said repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you." His attitude made me feel a little strange: I agreed to see Zheng Baoyun, why did he So happy?It seems that this kind of happiness has surpassed the doctor's concern for the patient. I just thought about it for a while and didn't delve into it. After I put down the phone, I thought about the matter with Zheng Baoyun again, and remembered one of the details, which was very interesting: Mrs. Zheng said that when Zheng Tianlu was picking a wife, he wore a pair of "odd-shaped, "Glittering glasses" to look at the selected girl, when this detail was discussed later, Bai Su and I ignored it. Now that I think about it, that pair of "glasses" is a bit weird-could it be possible to see through the structure of the human body through this pair of glasses, so as to judge whether the girl will give birth to an alien hybrid? In the following time, all the old things jumped out of my memory. When Bai Su came back, he looked outside the study and saw me in a daze alone, and said with a smile: "Did those kids come to disturb you?" Naturally, it refers to Wen Baoyu, nonsense, good time, and beautiful scenery. These few children often gather here, and the quarrel is turned upside down. Bai Su and I are used to it. I smiled and said, "Hurry them back to Chen Changqing's house. I just received a long-distance call from Manila, a call from Dr. Feller from the mental hospital. Guess who wants to see my heart?" Bai Su was stunned for a while, leaning against the door frame, thinking sideways.Her posture is very moving, I was a little dazed.She asked in an uncertain tone: "That...alien hybrid?" I applauded and praised her for guessing right, Bai Su immediately said: "He recovered?" I said, "Not sure." As I said that, I played the phone recording for her to listen to again, Bai Su raised her eyebrows: "It's strange, the doctor's speech seems to be a bit incomplete." I said: "I also have the same feeling, I think he seems to be a little hard to hide." Bai Su smiled: "If you go and have a look, you will know what's going on──" She shook her head: "I won't go, Zheng Baoyun is quite weird according to your description, if the matter has nothing to do with you ──” I also smiled: "Don't care about everything?" Bai Su waved his hand: "We haven't reached this point yet." I decided to leave immediately. An hour later, I was already at the airport. It was nearly midnight that day, and I arrived in Manila. I rented a car and drove directly to the mental hospital.
