Chapter 12 Chapter 11 They are monsters, not humans!

("The evildoers are not only the monsters of plants, trees, birds and insects, but also the ministers of the subjugated country." ──Wang Fuzhi: "Reading Tongjian Lun".) ("When a country is about to perish, there must be evildoers.") I shouted out my thoughts, Bai Su and Qi Bai remained silent, Bai Su was always calm, but it could be seen that her calmness was collapsing, or it was not easy to maintain it.Qi Bai's complexion was a little green, his breathing was very difficult, and he drank alcohol frequently, as if that could keep the blood circulation in his body going.

He took a sip of wine too quickly, coughed, coughed, and objected: "This is too much, of course they are all human, where did you think, don't tell me, the king of heaven Hong Xiuquan and his sister Hong Xuanjiao, there are other kings in the southeast and northwest, all of which are the kind of... strange things you described, that is absolutely impossible." Although I have come up with such a "conclusion", it is only the result of my "rational" analysis. In my consciousness, I also think that it is impossible, so Qi Bai's objection is of course also within my expectation. In the process, I just waved my hand at him, paying attention to Bai Su's reaction.

Bai Su seemed to have come to the conclusion of his thinking, he let out a long breath, took the wine glass in my hand rarely, took a sip of the wine, and said: "There are two doubts that must be clarified." My heart beat faster, and Bai Su actually said this: that is to say, she basically agrees with my conclusion, but she just wants to clarify two doubts. It's a good thing to get Bai Su's agreement on the argument, but because my conclusion is so shocking, even I, the person who put it forward, felt an extremely strange feeling in my heart. If that weird and inexplicable inference is true, then... I really don't know how to put it.

Everyone involuntarily took a breath of cool air, Liangchen Meijing hugged each other tightly, Greenhouse Yu himself was so frightened that his lips turned white, but he still gave them a look of contempt, Liangchen Meijing ignored him, just said : "Sister Bai, what... two doubts?" Bai Su let out another breath: "First, Bandon doesn't know where that strange thing came from." Everyone was silent because no one could answer the question. Greenhouse Yu's lips moved, but he didn't make a sound. Bai Su said: "The biggest possibility is that he got that strange thing during the treasure hunt."

Qi Bai raised his hand: "Not true." Bai Su was very calm: "We will all agree that during the treasure hunting process, Bandon got something and achieved his goal." Qi Bai immediately said: "But we also agree that it is something so small that he can hide it casually, and prevent me from discovering it." Bai Su's "answer" was very slow, but after listening to it, it couldn't help making one's heart beat faster: "Don't forget that 'weird thing' is a living thing, and a living thing will grow up." All of a sudden, the silence in my study reached the extreme again, and I lost my voice: "Growing up so fast? Bandon hasn't been away for long──"

Bai Su looked at me: "What standard do you call 'fast'? Is it the standard of human growth? You must know that that strange thing is not human, and it cannot be measured by the growth speed of ordinary creatures. It is a monster!" Qi Bai took the lead, swallowing his saliva, Greenhouse Yu was even more astonished, looking at his appearance, he also wanted to find someone to hug him like the beauty of a good day, so as to reduce the fear in his heart, but he was embarrassed, he said: "Then... ...The strange thing can grow from small to large in a few months...how big can it be?"

Bai Su shook his head: "I don't know. If Bandon didn't get that strange thing from that treasure hunt, then it wouldn't have anything to do with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and all assumptions wouldn't exist." Nonsense's voice was very low: "If it was obtained under the round pipe when the water gushed up, what kind of life form did he get at that time? It was...an egg...a pupa...how did it pass so long? After many years, can it... proliferate and grow?" Bai Su said in a deep voice: "You are a biologist, so you should know the mysteries of life. Some seeds found in ancient tombs, after thousands of years, as long as there are conditions for the development of life, they can immediately follow the genetic factors. The development of the course determined by the code is exactly the same."

Hu Hua whispered, "That...that's a plant!" Bai Su sighed: "I don't know what that strange thing is, I only know that it is a kind of life, and life always has its secrets and laws, but it is not easy to find out!" For Bai Su's words, it's hard to say that there is any definite proof, but it's also very hard to refute. Everyone stayed for a while, and then she said again: "The second question is, if what we see of that strange thing is the 'chrysalis' stage of its life, then what does it look like when it is fully grown?" of?"

When Bai Su said this, he looked towards Hu Hua.Hu Hua frowned: "It can be in any shape──" I said: "There is always one thing that can be guessed. We have irradiated it with X-rays. It looks a bit like a human. It has a pair of... wings? It seems that the lower limbs... are not very human-like?" Nonsense smiled wryly: "The problem is, we don't know whether we are seeing the early stage or the late stage. For example, the early stage embryos of vertebrates, the early stage embryos of chickens, fish, and humans look almost the same. Only in the late stages of development do they follow the genetic codes, and now different forms, after birth, it will naturally be even more different."

I hesitated: "That strange thing has a pair of wings, so it can't be wrong." Nonsense and shook his head again: "Not necessarily, if that's just its embryonic form, the pair of wings may be a degenerative organ. I have noticed that the bones of the wings are too small to It is used for flight, so after full growth, the wings... may not exist, or may degenerate and shrink... Just like the human fetus has a 'tail' in the early stages, but after birth, the tail has already degenerated." Bai Su waved his hand: "That is to say, after the monster has fully grown, it can take any shape. Naturally, it can also be very human-like. At least, it is a kind of cover-up to make it look like a human."

Hu said, "Of course it's possible." Bai Su didn't say anything anymore, I looked at her, and she smiled: "I made a note for your shocking conclusion." I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, with a strange expression on my face, because I didn't believe my conclusion anymore, and I said, "Could it be that all—all the heads of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are all such strange things?" Bai Su thought about it for a while: "I don't think it's all of them, most of them are the ones who started the riot. Later, of course... real people added people, but there must be a few of that... that... " Qi Bai said, "Such an evildoer." I breathed a sigh of relief: "Bandon should be here to hear the conclusion we have reached." At that time, Wen Baoyu was arguing with Liangchen Meijing in a low voice, and I shouted: "Xiaobao, if you have something to say, please say it openly." Wen Baoyu blushed: "I said, there is a king of wings in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and they just laughed at me." I was a little stunned: "Wing King Shi Dakai, he is quite a character, what's so funny?" Liangchen Jingmei still smiled, pointing at Wen Baoyu: "What he means is, because Shi Dakai really has a pair of wings - just like X-ray perspective That strange thing was just like what I saw when I was there, so it was called King of Wings." Several people were stunned for a while, and Wen Baoyu hastily distinguished for himself: "I didn't say that, what I mean is, like the human tail, like most human beings, the tail has degenerated and doesn't exist anymore, but there are also tails. A very small number of people will have the phenomenon of returning to their ancestors, leaving a short tail." When Wen Baoyu said this in a serious manner, Liangchen Meijing covered her mouth again and let out a "haha" laugh, her attitude was extremely ambiguous.Wen Baoyu said angrily: "I know what bad ideas you are thinking, but we should discuss the issue properly." I supported Wen Baoyu: "Yes, Xiaobao, they are wrong, and they shouldn't think that you are the one left behind." Who knew it would be fine if I didn't say it, but once I said it, Liang Chen Meimei couldn't help it anymore, and laughed into a ball, you pushed me away, it was out of control, and everyone else laughed, only Wen Baoyu puffed up his face, in the end, he Suddenly jumped up and shouted: "Laugh again, in order to prove that it is not a person with a tail, I need to invite two young ladies to verify." As he said that, he turned to face the beautiful scenery of Liangchen, so frightened that the two little girls quickly covered their mouths with their hands, inhaling repeatedly without daring to let out a sound. It was only then that Wen Baoyu felt that he had "won a complete victory". He was so ambitious that he continued to make a big comment: "That kind of... evildoer, who can pretend to be a human, has a natural appearance similar to a human. I'm afraid that the pair of wings have degenerated a long time ago. But there may be one or two, there are more traces left, and the pair of wings... are relatively large, and they understand it among themselves, so why not call him 'Wing King'." I nodded in approval: "It's very possible." Qi Bai sighed: "The more you speculate, the more mysterious, anyway, anything is possible." Bai Sudao: "The only one who can really prove whether our speculation is true or not is Bandon. Unfortunately, he disappeared without a trace." Qi Bai said: "Tomorrow I will put up a large advertisement, saying that there are portraits of the leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom for sale, and let him come and fish." Just as I was about to say "I'm afraid it's not that easy", the phone rang suddenly. At that time, it was past midnight. I picked up the phone and just said "Hello" before I heard Bandon's voice: "Tell Qi Bai, I won't be so easily fooled." I was startled suddenly, Bandon, what does it mean when he said that?It means that he can hear everything we say here. What's going on?As I pressed a button on the phone so that everyone could hear his voice, at the same time, I also thought of the reason, and I said very bluntly: "Mr. Bandon, you seem to be used to acting ghostly, which is not the same as You look like a gentleman in appearance, not very cooperative, of course you took the opportunity to bug me in my study when you came to my residence last time." As soon as I called out "Mr. Bandon", everyone was stunned.I gesture to the guests to signal them to be calm.Qi Bai opened his mouth wide and was about to shout, but he managed to restrain himself in time. Bandon let out a very bitter laugh, sighed again, and said: "Yes... I admit that my behavior was not fair enough──" I was even more impolite, and with a "hum", I interrupted his words: "Since you deceived Qi Bai, none of your behaviors have been aboveboard, it's not enough." Bai Suji gestured to me, signaling that I would try to let him speak.Bandon sighed again: "I have a last resort, because the secrets I'm exploring are really appalling. I... want to pay tribute to everyone. Your inferences are the same as mine, although it can't be proved exactly how close to the truth , but that is the only inference." Wen Baoyu, Liangchen Meijing and Hu Hua were young after all, and they couldn't help themselves when they heard Bandon say that.Cheers came out, with a look of inexplicable joy, and I snorted: "Do you want to join us?" Bandon hesitated for a moment: "No...I...the matter is really...well, I don't want...to have a side issue before the matter has a complete result." Qi Bai said loudly: "If our inferences are all facts, what is a thorough result?" Bai Su said: "Naturally, you want to cultivate that 'weird thing' and see what it looks like when it is fully grown, right, Mr. Bandon?" Bandon's breathing could be clearly heard over the phone's PA equipment.Bai Su didn't wait for him to reply before saying: "I advise you, Mr. Bandon, don't do that, because you never know what kind of... monster you cultivated." Bandon's breathing can be clearly heard on the phone: "Then how should we deal with it according to your opinion? You can't throw that thing...into the incinerator. He is a life, and he may be a very high-level person." I believe there are a few such beings who have done earth-shaking events more than a hundred years ago." Qi Bai murmured: "When a country is about to perish, there must be evildoers." Bai Su's voice is very firm, in everyone's heart (I believe even Bandon included) there is an indescribable chaos, when there is a hidden sense of fear that I don't know what to do, Bai Su's firm voice , Listening to it will give people a considerable sense of security.She said: "I believe that thing didn't grow naturally, but was multiplied by you to what it is today, right?" I was a little surprised why Bai Su was so sure, but Bandon already made a moaning voice: "Mrs. Wei, how much do you... know?" Bai Su didn't answer his question, and said directly: "The method of breeding, is it in Ling Zu's information, or under the treasure tube?" Bandon was literally moaning.We all know that what Bai Su said is naturally all speculation, but her speculation is still very correct.Liang Chenmei looked at Bai Su with admiration. Bai Su's voice sounded very sincere: "It seems that you have been very troubled, please come over here, there are so many people to discuss things." Dr. Bandon didn't answer, and after about ten seconds, the phone hung up. Wen Baoyu and Hu said "ah", but Bai Su was very confident: "He will come, and he will come soon." She didn't say this when the doorbell rang, Liang Chenmei opened her mouth wide and couldn't close her mouth. I thought to myself that they were inexperienced after all, and the distance they could eavesdrop with the wiretapping device would not be too far away, so Bandon naturally rang nearby. Call, of course, come as soon as you say it, what a surprise.But Bai Su's few words made him show up, that's really admirable. Wen Baoyu yelled and rushed downstairs. After a while, he took Bandon and walked up. Bandon bowed to everyone. Although he didn't say anything, he was clearly apologizing to everyone.When he saw the beautiful scenery of Liangchen, he was stunned for a moment, and murmured: "The miracle of life." Then, he reached under my desk and took out an ultra-small bug.It was only the size of an ordinary candy. He squeezed it in his hand, looked at Qi Bai, and said, "When water suddenly gushed out from under the round tube, I happened to be at the bottom. This...is also the whole thing." A very coincidental part of the incident, I was naturally flustered at the time, but when I suddenly noticed something touching my calf, I was still calm enough to hold it in my hands." Wen Baoyu was shocked: "Is that the strange thing?" Bandon took a breath: "It's a small box, a completely sealed gold box. I knew immediately that it was what I was looking for." Qi Bai said: "You can hide it from me well." Bandon bowed to Qi Bai again: "I'm really sorry, I didn't find the hidden treasure. After I found the hidden treasure, I plan to give you my share as an apology." Qi Bai stared: "You don't care about money, so do I?" Bandon turned his head sideways for a moment: "If such a thick iron chain was made of pure gold, how much would it be worth?" Qi Baigu bit his teeth: "100 million dollars? 200 million dollars? Who knows." Wen Baoyu became anxious again, and shouted: "Hey, don't just talk about money. You got some information, so you changed to study history, and how did you know that it was what you wanted as soon as you caught a small box?" Bandon didn't answer right away, he reached out for the wine bottle, Bai Su hurriedly handed him the glass, he took a sip of the wine, and said: "I got those materials, the first thing that attracted me was naturally the hidden treasures, However, there is a part of the data that uses very incomprehensible and confusing writing methods to describe some unbelievable things. It is said that there are several main people who have undergone the operation of changing the genetic code in the genetic factors... monsters. Or It's what you're talking about...the evildoer." I was startled suddenly, and so were the rest of the people. Everyone asked in unison, "What do you mean?" Bandon took a deep breath: "Someone performed a surgery to change the genetic code of several people...or, just a few people's first embryos. It is an extremely complicated biochemical change process, involving the initial form of life , □ and protein changes, double-helix segment helix changes, double-chain nucleotide newly synthesized DNA, amino acid code triplet transformation..." He spoke a series of words, almost all of which were technical terms in biochemistry. Bai Su made a gesture to him, and Bandon paused for a while: "It's too specialized, but that happens to be the subject of my research, and the data It is also mentioned that after such a change, the human embryo completely escapes the function of the original human genetic code, and develops and grows in a completely different way──” When he talked about this, I thought of the ugly thing, and couldn't help shivering cleverly. Even Bandon's own complexion was so ugly. Bandon let out another breath: "I specialize in the study of genetics. Think about it, everyone. If I see such information, wouldn't it make me crazy? The record also says that after changing the code, the development will follow a new way." The appearance of these people is a bit different from traditional people, but their intelligence is many times higher than that of ordinary people. The main thing is to use it as an experiment and observation. Big downside...” Qi Bai murmured again: "That's right, those evildoers can't make a big deal anymore." I hurriedly asked, "Who? Did it say in the information, who is the person who presides over this...experimental operation?" Bandon shook his head: "No, there is no clue at all, just saying that the secret of password change is hidden in a golden locket, which is placed in the most secret place, and there are a lot of treasures in that place at the same time. The golden locket The box is completely sealed, and even the most important...monstrous evildoers don't know what's inside, and they regard it as a symbol of their "destiny from the sky"." Everyone was dumbfounded, and shouted nonsense: "God, what you got is not some strange thing, but a method to make strange things." Bandon nodded. For a moment, it fell silent again.It is obvious that after Bandon left, he used this method of changing the genetic code to apply it to a human's first embryo (it is very easy to get, to put it simply, it is just a fertilized egg) .As a result, the strange thing we saw was bred. Naturally, he has studied the shape of that thing in detail. It doesn't look like a human being, and he doesn't think that such an evildoer can have such a status in modern Chinese history, so he wanted to come to me to study together, but the method he adopted The method, but it's too ghostly. After everyone stayed for a while, Bandon said: "Madam Wei is right, that thing...maybe still in the early stage of growth, maybe...the shape will change, and it will be very close to an ordinary person──" He looked at Wen Baoyu again: "Your understanding of the title 'Wing King' can be said to be the limit of your imagination." Wen Baoyu blushed when he was praised, but he knew how to be modest: "That...it's nothing, I've been thinking wildly." But I was shocked: "Are you still planning to continue cultivating...it?" Bandon looked very hesitant, obviously unwilling to give up.Bai Su was suddenly confronted: "I suggest that you might as well contact Leman Hospital as one of the research subjects." I added my hand: "Heaven, don't create monsters." Bandon immediately said, "I'm planning on this, but Leman Hospital... I don't know where it's moved to." I sighed, thinking that Bandon would not give up, so why not let him go: "A friend of mine told me that Lerman Hospital is under the ice in Greenland, you can go to Denmark first and try to get along with him." They touch." Bandon showed an overjoyed expression and rubbed his hands again and again, as if he couldn't wait to go to Greenland immediately. Wen Baoyu, Hu Hua, Liang Chenmei, me, Bai Su, and Qi Bai were all dumbfounded. None of us really know what it is to change the code of genetic factors, but we have seen the results. is it scary?It seems that it is not just terrible, but a terrible state that cannot be described in human language. In the end, there are two remaining questions: Question 1: Nearly two hundred years ago, who had mastered the secret of changing the code of genetic factors and conducted experiments? Question 2: What does the strange thing look like after it is fully developed? Question one was unanswered because it was not mentioned at all in the sources Bandon obtained, and he later showed us all the original sources he had. There is no answer to the second question. Bandon just contacted me a few days later, saying that the thing started to grow at an amazing speed in two months, but after entering the "chrysalis" state, it was amazingly slow , it may take another few decades to fully grow. Question three... No problem three, at least in this story, no problem, right? No, there is the third problem, that is, Liangchen Meijing regards my residence as their own home, they come and leave whenever they like, Bai Su is very calm about them, and I have nothing to do, is this a problem? ?
