Chapter 8 Chapter 7 "The Call of the Wild"

Zheng Baoyun actually nodded, and I couldn't help getting airy, "Humph": "You are completely an alien. According to you, aliens have much higher knowledge and ability than the earthlings. Why do you have to tell me, the earthlings?" Asking for help? It’s also my fault that I didn’t know the inside story, so I went over thousands of miles to help.” Zheng Baoyun smiled: "Naturally there are reasons, the simplest reason is: you are my friend, the only friend I have on earth and in the entire universe." His two words are very pleasant. Although he has become an alien in terms of physical structure, he has never been to an alien planet. Naturally, I am the only friend.

I nodded: "At that time, you made a decision without thinking too much?" Zheng Baoyun said: "Of course I thought about it, it was the most important decision in my life." He paused for a while when he said this: "I made a decision in a very short time, you don't even know that I will Faced with such an important decision." I recalled the situation at that time, sighed, and said sincerely: "It's really not easy." Put yourself in his shoes and think about it, a person has to decide whether to be an Earthling or an alien. This is naturally the most difficult decision in his life. Zheng Baoyun made his decision in a very short period of time, despite other factors. There are various reasons, but I believe one of the most important reasons is that he always has half the blood of aliens in his body, which plays a major role.

At this time, I did not say this. Zheng Baoyun explained to me, a person on Earth: "In that little book, my father strongly hinted that my future disaster would not be able to be handled by the intelligence of people on Earth, so I was extremely unwilling... With such a decision, in fact , I...would rather be an Earthling.” For his explanation, I couldn’t help being a little bit ironic: “You don’t have to explain it to me. I don’t really believe in the saying that ‘people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can’t help themselves’. Anyone can do whatever he wants. What he does should also be seen as his own volition."

Zheng Baoyun waved his hand and smiled wryly: "Yes, I don't have to explain to you. I chose to be an alien, but it doesn't mean I betrayed the people on earth." I laughed out loud, and he said "no need to explain", but he was still explaining. I said: "Stop digging into a dead end on this issue, and continue to talk about your experience." Zheng Baoyun paused: "After swallowing those 'papers', it took effect immediately, and I don't know anything." I sighed again: "You're so happy, you don't know anything anymore. Of course you don't know how crazy you are all of a sudden, and how messed up you are. Lingtang invited monks, nuns, Taoists, priests, priests, wizards, wizards and gods from all over the world." Master Maoshan, at least tens of thousands of people have cast spells on you, and the chaos alone is enough to see."

Zheng Baoyun spread his hands, expressing that he could not control all this. I made a gesture to him, beckoning him to go on.At that moment, I had a very strange feeling in my heart. I thought, I have dealt with aliens, since the blue-blooded Fang Tian, ​​I have had many different experiences.The different experiences are naturally all due to the different aliens, but if there is a kindness, there is no second one except Zheng Baoyun. Is this because half of Zheng Baoyun is a human from Earth?Or does he have the same appearance as the earthlings?Or is it because in his consciousness, he is willing to get close to the people on earth?

Whatever the reason, we are friends, and will always be, there is no doubt about it. Don't think that when I was full of doubts, I shouldn't suddenly think of this seemingly insignificant matter. In the development of things later, the conclusion I got at this time played a great role. Zheng Baoyun naturally didn't know what I suddenly thought of, he sighed for no reason, at this time, I also began to concentrate, because he was going to talk about what happened after he woke up. Zheng Baoyun was silent for a moment, and then said: "Although the decision was made quickly at the time, there was a fierce battle in the past──"

I waved my hand to signal that he didn’t need to mention the events of the past, and he forced a smile: “I woke up suddenly——during those years when my brain activity was suppressed, the changes in body structure were completed step by step, and finally You're done, it's like... like..." It was difficult for him to find the right adjective, so I answered, "It's like a robot, gradually assembled." Zheng Baoyun somewhat disagreed, but he couldn't think of a better description: "It can be said that it is. After suddenly waking up, all the memories surged up together. Of course I can feel the significant changes in the body structure, but the changes in the brain tissue , but I can’t feel it, I just feel that when I’m thinking about problems, I seem to be particularly sensitive—”

I interjected, "How could you resist being discharged from the hospital immediately and continue to pretend to be crazy?" Zheng Baoyun took a breath: "In the first few days, I need to adapt to my new identity. Continuing in the madhouse is the best way. No one will disturb a madman who has been mad for many years. I can think quietly. A few days After that, things changed." When he said this, he took a sip of wine, and I also took a big sip. "There has been a change", which is of course the key. Zheng Baoyun pointed to his head: "About three days later, I felt that someone kept calling me, wanting to contact me. It sounded like...like..."

He didn't know how to describe it, but this time, I couldn't imagine it, so I had to wait for him to figure it out.He hesitated for a moment: "There are some people who are keen on radio communication, using communication equipment to communicate with people from all over the world who have never met in person—" I nodded: "Yes, this kind of people are called 'amateur radio amateurs'. Their communication networks not only spread all over the earth, some of them even received signals from outer space, and some even heard the signals from the pilots on spaceships. conversation, in your case—"

Zheng Baoyun said: "My situation is like an amateur radio operator who suddenly heard a calling signal, but he didn't know where the signal came from, and he didn't know how to answer it. All he knew was that someone was calling him constantly, and calling The signal is getting stronger every day." I couldn't help murmuring: "The call of the wild." I spoke these words in a very low voice, but Zheng Baoyun's brain activity is extremely sensitive, he still heard it, and in an instant, his face became extremely ugly, and I didn't know what to do. The two of us stared at each other, and the air seemed to freeze.

I know that I should never say that, but at that time, when I heard him say that, all the things, the cause and effect together, naturally thought of it, and blurted it out uncontrollably. ("The Call of the Wild" is a famous novel written by American writer Jack London. It has a sister work: "Snow Tiger". The protagonist of the novel is a dog with half blood of wolf. In "Snow Tiger", the dog From wild to tame, but in "The Call of the Wild", the dog returned to the wilderness to be with the wolf because he couldn't bear the lure of howling wolves in the wilderness.) (Zheng Baoyun is naturally familiar with these two novels. Half of the dogs in the novel are wolves, and half of him in reality are aliens.) (I thought of "The Call of the Wild" because of that, and of course that's why he reacted so strongly when he heard it.) (Half blood of wolves outweighs half blood of dogs.) (Where is Zheng Baoyun?) After a while, he started blinking first, and I started blinking too. Then, each of them agreed to raise the wine glasses in their hands to each other. The awkward and stiff atmosphere disappeared, and no one mentioned it anymore. Going on: "At the beginning, it was really inexplicable, but after a few days, it suddenly became clear, and I suddenly understood that the calling signal came from the Dragon constellation, from my...father's clan..." When he was talking here, he paused for a while, and stood up bravely: "From my people." When he said this, it meant that he had at least got rid of the troubles of his identity psychologically. I nodded repeatedly to express my support. At the same time, I couldn't help being very surprised: the Draco people actually have such a great ability to receive signals directly through brain activity, which is obviously much more advanced than the people on Earth. The way people on earth receive external signals, the signals must be converted into sound waves (can be heard), must be converted into entities, text or graphics (can be seen, touched), and must not be received directly. I asked back: "How do you answer?" Zheng Baoyun nodded: "For several days, I have been thinking about this question: how to answer it. It turns out that I don't understand the function of my new brain, so I have this question." I was even more astonished: "You... you mean... as long as you want to answer in your mind, the other party... can receive your answer signal?" Zheng Baoyun nodded immediately. I took a breath. This method of communication is naturally extremely advanced. People on Earth have always yearned for this method of direct communication of thoughts, and there are very few people who can do this. The Tianchi old man I have seen is that. But now it seems that this is a common ability of Draconians. Since Zheng Baoyun has such ability, it seems that he has got in touch with "his clan" again, so there shouldn't be any problems, so why is he so embarrassed to ask me for help? I thought of this, and looked at him with reproachful eyes. He smiled wryly, and said, "When I knew that my answer had been accepted, I was overwhelmed with surprises—" I murmured again: "Happiness comes from it. Where does surprise come from?" Zheng Baoyun raised his voice: "I'm not used to my new identity, it feels strange, is that okay?" I whispered again: "I'm sorry, don't mind." Zheng Baoyun made a gesture of disdain to argue with people like me: "I didn't know until the signal I received was not just a call, but a very complicated... language. beyond imagination." I raised my eyebrows, expressing my doubts. Zheng Baoyun said: "I won't talk about the details of the process. In short, I keep receiving various signals. It's like there are people around me all the time, talking about their own things, and talking to me." I nodded to show my understanding, and he said again: "The first thing I heard was a few people. I can attribute them to my father's friends...or fellow party...partners..." From his hesitant tone, I also felt that the matter was really extremely complicated, beyond my imagination. No wonder he accused me of making assumptions and being out of touch with the facts. "I don't know how many there are. In short, what they said to me expressed that they were happy that I became the same kind, and at the same time warned me not to 'launch' everything I think. "However, their warnings are too late. My new brain tissue is a new device for me. I don't know how to control it. My many ideas have already been 'launched' out. Of course, Now I know how to control, what I think, can be known to others, or not at all.” I held my breath, trying to suppress my violent heartbeat a little bit, but I couldn't.My shock naturally came from the unusual ability of the Draconians. I asked in a very weak voice: "Is this... direct communication in thought not limited by distance?" Zheng Baoyun replied casually: "If they are on the same star, there is no limit to the distance." He answered inadvertently, and I was even more shocked. At the same time, I couldn't help but reached out and hit myself on the head, blaming me for being an earthling and stupid person. He is an alien. The word "distance" Concept, to him, is the difference between star and star, while for earthlings, distance is at most the difference between Asia and Africa. The concept is very different. No wonder he doesn't pay attention to this issue. The other reason that frightened me was: what he said was tantamount to telling me indirectly that there are his "clansman" on the earth.At this moment, I felt that I didn't need to be too enamored with this half-alien, so I kept the surprise in my heart and didn't show it, nor did he seem to be aware of it. He paused for a moment, and then said again: "I don't know how many companions my father has. They gradually told me that they left Tianlongxing and came to Earth because of their betrayal of Tianlongxing - I asked, they Saying that I don't understand what kind of situation it is is a betrayal, in short, the behavior of these few people is not tolerated by the Tianlongxing people." I had to concentrate to understand what he was saying, because the complexity of what he described was not only unexpected, but also beyond my comprehension. I saw Zheng Baoyun's melancholy expression, so I analyzed to him: "If your father's behavior is just not tolerated by the majority of people, it is not necessarily a betrayal. In the history of the earth, there are many great men who were not tolerated by the majority of people at that time." , such as Jesus Christ, who took saving mankind as his mission, and Copernicus, the pioneer of science, are countless.” Zheng Baoyun was extremely satisfied with my analysis. His sad face was obviously caused by his fear of his father's unscrupulous behavior. My words relieved his worries.Because his father didn't say anything to him in this regard, and those clansmen didn't explain it to him in detail. He stayed for a while, and then said: "Those people said that their situation is not very good, and they dare not move at all, because Tianlongxing is still looking for them, and they must be blamed for... betraying... leaving. I I asked them where they were, but they refused to tell me, saying that it was not yet time, and they warned me that not only the Draconians would come looking for me, but also a high-level creature on the planet, which they called 'Red Man', would even Come to me, because my father, passing through the planet of the 'Red Men', deceived them and stole from them a very important thing, which the Red Men have been looking for all these years." The more Zheng Baoyun said, the more mysterious it became. It sounded like I was hanging in the air, my body felt like I was floating, and my feet were clearly on the ground, but I couldn't make myself feel reliable. Because, to hear him say it, it seems that interstellar war has broken out, and Earth has unfortunately become the battlefield. Zheng Baoyun saw that my expression was different, and looked at me: "Sounds ridiculous?" I hurriedly said, "No, no, I can completely imagine it. That... red people... are the bright red things I... saw? Their appearance...is not very elegant." Zheng Baoyun shivered: "It's not very elegant, it's horrific. When I saw them for the first time, I almost fainted from fright. Their... the parts that connect the body and the head..." I said, "Neck." Zheng Baoyun snorted: "It should be the neck, their necks are thin and long, and bright red..." I don't need Zheng Baoyun to describe it further, because I have seen a human head at the end of the thin and long bright red strip. The strangeness of the situation is beyond description. I gasped: "Their heads are all upside down. . . . we are much the same." Zheng Baoyun let out a sigh of relief: "This is terrible. On top of a thin strip is a human head. If it is any other strange shape, it will not be so scary." This is true, because the human head is a very familiar thing, and it suddenly grows on such a terrible place, so it is naturally more frightening to see. I made a gesture to indicate that there is no need to discuss the appearance of the "red man", and asked him to continue. He rubbed his hands: "They warned me that if the energy emitted by my current brain activity is not properly controlled, it will be intercepted at any time, and from this, people who know where I am and who want to find my father will come Look for me, they won't believe my father is dead, and they want to find what they want in me." I interjected again: "Can you talk to them directly?" Zheng Baoyun thought for a while: "It's like a conversation." I hurriedly said, "You didn't take the opportunity to ask: Why did your father's body still move after three years of death? And why did the body rot quickly after a drop of liquid flowed out?" Zheng Baoyun snorted: "I have too many questions to ask. My father is already dead. Why do I still ask this? I spent a lot of time asking about my father's behavior back then, but to no avail. At the same time, I received another The signal of the Draconians, I have been discovered by them, the Draconians... the Draconians..." He repeated "Dragon Star Man" several times, with a bitter expression on his face, and my heart couldn't help beating wildly. The Draconians are his people. Zheng Tianlu, his father, is a Draconian. When he mentions the Draconians, he should be very kind. Why is he so hesitant? I naturally understood the truth immediately. Because Zheng Tianlu had behaviors that could not be tolerated by the Draconians back then, Zheng Baoyun even used the word "betrayal". Not only is he the son of a traitor, but he also has half-earth blood. This kind of awkward relationship, even if Zheng Baoyun wants to get close to the Tianlongxing people, it is difficult to achieve.And this kind of situation, when Zheng Baoyun decided to choose to be a Tianlong star, he probably never thought of it. I further thought that Zheng Tianlu really wanted Zheng Baoyun to be a Draconian (I hope his son is like himself, it seems that it is not only the human nature of the earth people, but also the human nature of the Draconian).That's why he ambiguously stated what he had done in the notebook. He was afraid of making it too clear. Zheng Baoyun understood the embarrassing situation in the future and would choose to continue to be a human being on Earth. At that time, I really wanted to laugh out loud, because after Zheng Baoyun's body structure transformed into a Draconian, he was a bit arrogant, but unexpectedly he was in such an embarrassing situation. But of course I never laughed out loud. I know a little bit about human relations. Whether earthlings are good to earthlings, earthlings are good to aliens, or half-aliens, there are always certain rules; , and then explain the reason for laughing, then Zheng Baoyun must turn against me. Zheng Baoyun was so preoccupied that he didn't notice that I had a strange expression for a moment, he said: "The words of the Tianlongxing people are not friendly, they are very vicious, which makes me feel that the situation is serious. Fortunately, I don't know where I am for a while, because my brain signal It’s not very proficient, and it’s also very weak. But those words have made me know that if I am discovered by… my own people, I will definitely end up in a terrible situation.” When he said this, he looked up at me, and I patted the back of his hand sympathetically, expressing my understanding of his situation.He sighed a long time: "Because I've changed from a Tianlongxing person, I'm afraid of my clansmen instead." I comforted him: "You can explain clearly, you are you, and your father is your father." Zheng Baoyun slowly said: "Maybe... the pressure from that side is getting heavier and heavier. I know that I will be discovered sooner or later. After thinking about it, only you are my friend and can help me, so──" So he asked to see me. When he asked to see me, not only was he not a lunatic, but he had already become a Draconian, with an extremely sharp mind and extraordinary wisdom, which was something Dr. Feller could never dream of. I sighed lowly, and he said again: "You idiot Fei Le, but you always thought I was a lunatic, and dragged on for a month before I found you." I raised the biggest doubt in my heart: "You saw me, why didn't you tell me everything?" Zheng Baoyun smiled wryly: "At that time, the celebrity had already found me." I was taken aback: "I was in the ward, and I didn't see... anyone." When I said this, my voice was not very sure, because at least I knew that the "red man" has the ability to come and go in a flash.Feller was frightened into a daze, naturally because he suddenly saw the "Red Man". (After a few days, Ferrer woke up. He said that when he looked in through the small window on the door, it happened that a red man stretched his thin neck and stretched his head to the small window. He and the red man Their eerie faces face each other, their noses almost touching.) (In that case, it was not easy for him not to be scared to death on the spot.) Zheng Baoyun sighed: "The red men are extremely capable, they can transform at any time, and they move extremely fast. They seem to have a large body, but they can pass through extremely small gaps. Even their heads... It's going to be as thin as paper." It is difficult to imagine the shape of alien creatures.But no matter how strange the shape imagined is, it is another thing to actually see it. Therefore, the half-alien Zheng Baoyun also looked shocked when he said it. I understood: "That's why you act in such a secret way. Did you prepare the distress cloth?" Zheng Baoyun nodded: "But you don't understand, ah, it's been two days since the popular people found me, I've been pretending to be crazy in front of them, they tried every means to test me, but I didn't show my flaws, once you came, my actions were caught by them I found out that there were three red men peeking out the window of the ward, and you couldn't hide it from them, and you didn't immediately think of a way to save me──" I spread my hands: "Don't say I couldn't think of it at the time, even if I thought of it, what ability do I have?" Zheng Baoyun hurriedly said: "I'm not blaming you, you really have nothing to do, I couldn't pretend to be crazy, so I was taken away by them and brought into their spaceship, they were not very vicious, they just insisted that I hand over The thing that was abducted by my father back then." I took a breath, and things became clearer. The "Red Man" asked Zheng Baoyun for "that thing", but Zheng Baoyun couldn't hand it over, so the "Red Man" brought Zheng Baoyun to the old house, and searched everywhere for three nights.This is the origin of the "haunting" of the old house, which finally alarmed me. Until now, Zheng Baoyun and I have been facing each other alone—it seems that the "Red Man" is quite peaceful, and did not cause any harm to me and Zheng Baoyun, and he was willing to leave quietly. Go, stop being scary. Zheng Baoyun lowered his voice: "Although their appearance is terrifying, their temperament is quite docile, and... they are also very stupid... I heard from them that the thing that my father cheated was extremely important to them. If people will be deceived, it can be seen that their intelligence is seriously problematic." I couldn't help but laugh: "Maybe it's because the Draco people are so good at deceiving?" Zheng Baoyun snorted and didn't argue with me.I asked again: "What is that thing...?"
