Among the things found on the "skinny man" there was not the slightest clue of where he was going.Not even a map, I really don't understand how he can find where he is going in the vast hinterland of Australia. Wen Yilai looked at me, waiting for my decision, and I said: "He has said repeatedly. There will be a pasture ahead. Maybe he is very familiar with this area. Let's talk about it when we get to the pasture first." Wen Yilai didn't say anything, started the car, and drove forward. Sure enough, after a short while, he could see a large oasis in the desert ahead. Not long after driving on the grass, he saw a large flock of sheep Wagyu and horses, it seems to be a large-scale pasture.

The car continued to drive forward, and it didn't take long before it stopped in front of a row of well-built buildings. The main building was actually a big Victorian house. As soon as the car stopped, a group of teenagers surrounded me. I talked with them for a while, and I learned that the owner of the ranch is Mr. Vic. He is a hospitable man. He is hundreds of miles away from here, and almost 80% of the residents belong to it. employer. Five minutes later, we saw this old man with a red face and a tall and strong figure like a cow. In his large study room, he took out a large stack of large maps at my request.

Then, he pointed to some of them with a very loud voice: "The Gang tribe seldom leaves the mountains, and the plains they walk on are also in the basins of the mountains." The old man said again: "There are at least twelve villages where they live together. Are you going to find someone? Don't know the exact location?" I said: "Yes, I'm afraid it's quite difficult. Besides, although I can speak many local dialects, I can't speak the local dialect." When I said this, I suddenly heard a "squeak", and a high-backed swivel chair, which was originally facing us and placed in a corner of the study, turned around.

There was a person sitting in the chair. As soon as he turned around, I could only feel his gaze, which was very sharp, different from ordinary people, and staring straight at me. There is someone sitting on this chair. I noticed this when I entered the study, but since the owner didn't give any indication of introduction, I naturally feel inconvenient to say more. At this time, he turned around, and after staring at me, he just stared at Wen Yilai, neither standing up nor making a sound. His actions can be said to be very rude, but of course it is inconvenient to argue with them.I took a look at him. He was a middle-aged man with a very nice head of light gray hair. He was thin and biting a pipe. He was about sixty years old.

After looking at Wen Yilai for a while, he looked at me again.Vic, the host, seemed to respect him very much. Since he turned around, he has never spoken again. After he looked at me again, he suddenly said: "You have been to the Steviting Mountains before. No?" The mountain range we are going to, the mountain range where the tribe just lived is the Steviting Mountain Range, but the sentence he used to ask me was in a native language of the middle reaches of the Gambia River in West Africa. After I listened to it, I found it interesting in my heart. Naturally, he said to me just now, "I can speak a lot of languages", so he came to test me.If I answered him with the same words, he would be underestimated. In order to show that I understand the Gambia River language, I first answered in the same language: "I have never been there." Then, I immediately switched to the language of the Tibetan Kham people. : "If you are familiar with it, I would like to ask you to give me some advice."

After he heard this, a smile appeared on his stern face, and when he spoke again, I was shocked, and it turned out to be an authentic Sichuan dialect: "The reputation is well-deserved, and it is hard to get it. " A strong curiosity arose in my heart, who is this person?I answered a sentence in Sichuan dialect: "It's nothing." Then I said in Eskimo: "You must have lived in Sichuan, otherwise, it would be impossible to speak so eloquently. May I ask your name?" Then.Suddenly, he switched to Chinese Ningbo dialect: "I don't know how you know who I am?"

The man laughed "haha" and said, "I know your last sentence is also in Chinese, but I don't understand it." I said that sentence again in Sichuan dialect, and the man shook his head: "I don't think two Chinese from different provinces can communicate with each other." I laughed and said, "Even if they are from the same province, people from Hangzhou and Wenzhou can't talk to each other." The man said: "Of course I can know who you are. I have heard a lot about your deeds and seen your photos." I smiled at the host and said, "It seems unfair if the host doesn't introduce this gentleman."

Since I had a conversation with that person, the host looked at me with an extremely strange expression, as if he never expected that a person who came to ask for directions casually would have some background. And the reason why he has such a feeling is naturally because of the unusual status of that person, that person's status is extraordinary, and even that person knows who I am, which is naturally enough to make the host look at me differently. The host looked at the man, as if he didn't dare to introduce indiscriminately, the man stood up and introduced himself: "My name is Duan Na, and I'm a surveyor."

Tanner is a fairly common name, and a prober isn't anything special.But after I heard his name and occupation, my heart suddenly moved: I have heard of this person.Then, I remembered his authentic Sichuan dialect, and I immediately said "ah": "Mr. Duanna, it turns out that you are the foreign gentleman who was regarded as a god by the Sichuan salt merchants back then." China's Sichuan Province, known as the "Land of Abundance", is rich in things and people, but there is a lack of salt. I don't know when and who discovered it. The well was dug to draw salty water, and then the well was dug to attract natural methane to cook the salt. , The digging technology of salt wells and fire wells is extremely complicated, and a thick book can be written, and the salty water and biogas are all stored extremely deep underground, so.It is extremely important to survey and measure first to determine whether this place has reserves, and then dig. Otherwise, if you work hard for three to five months and get nothing, it will be a waste of people and money.

Therefore, the status of the explorer is very high, and he is honored as "Mr." by wealthy businessmen and folk officials.Among the many "Mr.", it is said that the one with the greatest ability is a "Mr. Foreigner". This "Mr. Foreigner" seems to be able to see hundreds of feet deep underground. Where there is salt there is salt, and where there is fire there is fire. The salt well and the fire well are all treasuries that are making money every day, so "Mr. Yang" is naturally respected.As for the name of "Mr. Yang", no one will pursue it, as long as he can bring wealth.Duan Na smiled: "Yes, everyone called me that at the time."

And I remembered another thing Boss Bai said when he heard me mention this "Mr. But I heard that he has joined some kind of non-human association, and his actions are a bit mysterious, so it is not good to take the initiative to find him." It's okay to have heard this sentence at the time, and didn't take it to heart at all, but now.But it was very different. If he is a member of the Non-Human Association, Wen Yilai has an extremely deep relationship with the Non-Human Association, and he must be well aware of Wen Yilai's origin, which is exactly what he wishes for. So, I immediately nailed another sentence: "I heard that you are a member of the Non-Human Association?" As soon as I uttered these words, the three people in front of me reacted differently. The host looked puzzled, obviously not knowing what an "inhuman association" is.Duanna just smiled slightly, acquiescing. After Wen Yilai heard it, he said "Ah", and his expression was very excited. He took a few steps closer to Duanna, stopped again, and looked at him with a very anxious expression: "Then, Mr. Duanna, you You must know who I am? I...Mr. Wei said that I may have been brought up by the...Non-Human Association." Duan Na looked at Wen Yilai, remained silent for a while, and then said: "Mr. Wei, you are accompanying this young man because you want to go to the mountainous area of ​​Shidiweiting. Are you looking for his mother?" As soon as Duan Na said this, even I couldn't help but "ah".He can say such words, of course he knows all the details, but his words are also in Sichuan dialect, Wen Yilai naturally can't understand. I answered in Sichuan dialect (the following conversations with him are all in Sichuan dialect): "The matter is very complicated. I can't explain it clearly in a few words." Duan Na said: "No matter what, Mr. Wei, I advise you to cancel this trip, even if you find his mother, it will only be bad for him, not good at all, let him be an ordinary person, okay? " Tanner would actually make such a request.I said, "What's so special about him?" Duan Na shook his head: "Why do you reveal people's secrets out of your own curiosity?" I took a breath: "It's not that I want to know, he himself is also eager to know." Duan Na said, "It's better that he doesn't know than he knows." We were talking quickly, and Wen Yilai's expression became more and more anxious. He finally couldn't help it, and shouted: "Please don't discuss my problem in a language I don't understand." I waved my hand vigorously at Wen Yilai, signaling him not to interrupt, and said, "Perhaps you will change your mind after hearing the complicated story I just mentioned?" Tanner shook her head in disinterest. I raised my voice: "You, Guild, never knew that Dr. Dili had fooled you." When Duan Na heard this, he was shocked suddenly, and lost his voice, "God, he lost his bag." Then, pointing at Wen Yi Lai: "He is not Lun Lun's child!" I don't know who "Lun Lun" is, I guess it's Wen Yilai's mother's name, but I understand why he immediately thought that the child had been replaced, because the Non-Human Association regards Wen Yilai as a special person. He was brought up by a capable person, but later he was found to be nothing special, so he gave up on him. This is the situation I have already analyzed. Of course, this situation is true, otherwise Donna would not have said so. I shook my head: "No, Dr. Dili didn't change the bag, but the pregnant woman is pregnant with twins, and he didn't tell you." After hearing this, Duanna's eyes widened, and he seemed to be in a daze.After a long while, he suddenly started to curse: "This son of a bitch, he's like his ancestors." The sentence he used to scold Dr. Di Li was a vulgar word in the Sichuan dialect. It can be seen how angry he was at Dr. Di Li's fooling him and the Inhuman Association. At this time, he was not the only one who was angry, Wen Yilai also seemed to lose control, and suddenly yelled: "Who am I, you all must know, tell me quickly!" Duan Na turned to look at him, stretched out his hand, and pressed it on his shoulder, but Wen Yilai pushed it away rudely, and shouted angrily: "You are not my friend, don't touch me!" Duan Na sighed, looked towards me, and I said, "Of course you know about Wen Yilai's life experience──" Duan Na sighed and said: "Of course, he... the strange deeds of his parents were all discovered by me!" At this time, Wen Yilai showed a very anxious expression in his anger.I said: "Dr. Dili lied to your association, I think we have to wait a little longer. If you don't tell the story of the year immediately, our young friends may lose their patience." Wen Yilai looked at me with very grateful eyes, and said repeatedly: "Yes! Yes! Please tell me immediately!" Duan Na looked at Wen Yilai for a while, and then said: "Your mother is a girl from the Gang tribe—" Wen Yilai's voice became very sharp: "Where is my father?" Duan Na swallowed: "I don't know, we don't know who your father is—" Wen Yilai became excited, clenched his fists and waved them.Duan Na said: "Twenty years ago, I saw your father for the first time in a big mud near the village where your mother lived. He came out of the mud, covered in mud, walking forward, The dried mud, falling from him, looked horrific..." Duan Na didn't speak until here, Wen Yilai had already let out a very heavy panting sound, I hurriedly said: "Yilai, this... must be because his body is covered with mud, seeing how handsome you two brothers are, he was originally He must also be a handsome man, not some monster!" Wen Yilai held my hand backhand, his palm was cold, he held me so tightly that I could vaguely feel it.There was a strange vibration that spread from his palm to mine. Duan Na continued: "That mud is a forbidden place, and the natives dare not approach it, because according to legend, there is a god with the power of thunder and lightning in the mud, and I have personally experienced that your father has that kind of power , he... he... At that time, I attacked him with an iron branch, and he held the iron branch, and I felt a strong electric current, and even my hands were burned—" When he said this, he spread out his hands, and there were still obvious scars on the palms.Wen Yilai moaned: "You...why did you attack...my father? Why?" Duan Na's expression was extremely depressed: "I don't understand. I think... just don't understand... We don't know what kind of person your father is, and we can't communicate with him." Duan Na continued: "And he obviously has powers that no one on earth can have...he can generate electricity...and the way he was then..." After Duan Na talked about it, he lowered his head and looked extremely sad. After a while, he said: "Misunderstandings caused by ignorance... in human history... there are too many examples!" Wen Yilai's voice trembled a little: "Are you implying...my father is not from Earth?" Duan Na said: "Hint? I'm not suggesting, but affirming. Which kind of people on earth can generate electricity?" Wen Yilai's throat made a "squeaky" sound, he didn't say anything, but his expression was extremely strange. My heart suddenly trembled, and I thought of a person.This person's name is Zheng Baoyun, who used to be a rich man, but when he had the definite evidence and knew that he was a "hybrid" of aliens and earthlings, he turned into an incurable lunatic and has been in the madhouse Among them, the situation has not improved at all over the years. I have to visit him once a year, and I have to shake my head and sigh every time. The psychological state of ordinary people is very difficult to accept this fact, which will make a person feel that he has become an alien on the earth, and it is difficult to bear such pressure psychologically. It would be better for Wen Yilai not to follow in the footsteps of Zheng Baoyun. Because I was worried about this, I held his hand tightly and gave him some spiritual support.Although Wen Yilai looked pale, it seemed that he could still support it. Duan Na continued: "I can be absolutely sure that the mud and the local environment were formed by a man-made change a few years ago, for example, an impact with a huge force, and there was a strong Radiation burn marks, there is reason to believe, may have been the result of a space voyage accident, like the Tunguska explosion in Siberia!" Wen Yilai made another moan-like sound. I took a breath. "Is it possible that the huge spaceship crashed and a person in the spaceship survived, but for some reason he had to be in a mud to survive?" Duan Na nodded: "For many years, I have been thinking hard, and it seems that this is the only possibility." It wasn't until this moment that the rancher could say, "God, this is really... unbelievable." Wen Yilai was shocked for a moment, and then he said: "No, that...it's not my father, I'm just an ordinary person, I don't know how to generate electricity, it must be that Dr. Dili lost his bag and gave you an ordinary baby , and he himself took away... the son of... the man who can generate electricity." Both Duanna and I fell silent, Wen Yilai's voice was very rapid, and he kept repeating: "I don't know how to generate electricity, can I? I'm just an ordinary earthling. Isn't it?" Duanna didn't answer his question directly, but said: "Back then, when Lun Lun was pregnant, she had a strong electric wave reaction during the examination, which made us sure that the child she was carrying had the genetic ability to generate electricity. , so at an annual meeting to recruit members, an unborn child was unanimously accepted as a member—" When he said this, he paused.Wen Yilai still kept saying those few words.After stopping for a while, Duanna said again: "The two people who have the power to generate electricity are naturally eligible to become members of the Non-Human Association." Wen Yilai's voice was dry: "I'm not." Duan Na glanced at him, ignored him, and said to himself: "At first we were very worried about what kind of monster the child would be after it was born. We asked Lun Lun, but Lun Lun refused to say anything. It is only said that her husband is a very normal man, and he has a 'palace'-like residence under the mud. All this is incredible, because when I saw this man, he was a monster covered in mud. " I said: "Maybe, due to some special reasons, such as the difference in physiological structure, he must be covered with mud before he can be exposed to the air?" Duanna thought for a moment: "Perhaps. The baby turned out to be so beautiful, a cute baby, which was really beyond everyone's expectations. However, as the baby grew up, we also found that he There is no power to generate electricity at all. This really disappointed us, and when the child was fifteen years old, we decided to give up, not to let the child know his own life experience, so that he can lead a normal life." Wen Yilai immediately said loudly: "I am a normal person." Duan Na said solemnly: "We have arranged for Mr. Bai to be the guardian of the child. Mr. Wei, speaking of it, it has something to do with you." I couldn't help being a little surprised: "What does it have to do with me?" Duan Na smiled: "Your Excellency is famous and has all kinds of weird experiences. A person who can generate electricity is incredible to others, but it is nothing to you." I hurriedly said, "You're too flattering and weird enough. I only know that there are eels that can generate electricity, but I never dared to imagine people who can generate electricity." Duanna waved his hand: "We think that because of Mr. Bai's relationship, the child may meet you in the future, so no matter how strange his origin is, it will not cause surprise." I forced a smile: "You have chosen such a name for your child, so it is naturally a transliteration of the French word 'Electric Man'." Duan Na nodded, and Wen Yilai immediately said, "I want to change my name, because I don't know how to generate electricity, I'm not an electrician." I glanced at Wen Yilai and wanted to say a few words.But he didn't say it.What I want to say but have not said at this time is very important. Wen Yilai repeatedly said that he does not know how to generate electricity, and people from the Non-Human Association also conducted various inspections on him.It also proved that he can't generate electricity.But, I think.He can generate electricity, really can. I think of it this way: Nature is well-founded. First, it is Qin Ya's words.Qinya has the unique sensitivity of a young girl. She once said that once when she was a child, she shook hands with the son of the red-headed father and felt the flow of electricity. Later, when she shook hands with Wen Yilai, she also felt the same way. Obviously, the Wen Yilai brothers all have the ability to generate electricity, but they can't take the initiative to control it. They only output radio waves unconsciously under certain circumstances, and the strength of the radio wave output is beyond their control. . In fact, anyone can output radio waves during physical activities, which can make girls feel like electricity is passing through, and almost boys all over the world can do it. However, it is not easy to make Boss Bai mistakenly think that he is a master of inner family qigong. Naturally, that incident was also the result of Wen Yilai unconsciously outputting stronger radio waves—Boss Bai suddenly forced him with internal qigong, and Wen Yilai's body naturally sent out power to protect himself. The power he sent out was intense. current. My evidence, and the sudden death of "Damn Skinny".At that time, I was plotted against, Wen Yilai was in a state of extreme panic and anger, and desperately grabbed the thin man's wrist.At that time, the thin man naturally had an extremely unusual feeling, so he screamed for Wen Yilai to let go, and at that time, Wen Yilai naturally output a strong current unconsciously.Of course, it does not rule out the possibility that the thin man had a heart attack and died after being stimulated by a strong electric current. Secondly, my coma time was so short, and when I woke up, I had the obvious feeling of electric shock, and at that time, Wen Yilai was pushing me hard. Inputting an appropriate amount of current to an unconscious person has the function of waking up the unconscious person. Judging from all the signs, I can be sure that Wen Yilai is indeed an electric man who can send out electric currents, but he himself has not mastered the power of this aspect.Thinking of this, I felt great excitement in my heart: a person who can generate electricity is really a miracle. But I didn’t say it out, one, more facts are needed to prove it, and two, Wen Yilai is trying to deny it at this time, if he is too sure that he has this ability, I’m afraid he can’t bear it psychologically. I just thought about it, without saying anything, and Duan Na said again: "Our arrangement is really not perfect. Since then, the Inhuman Association has disappeared from the child's life... I never thought that Dr. Dili would play like this Twins, but he only gave us one, and he kept one for himself. Dr. Deli disappeared suddenly, we were suspicious, and we investigated carefully. But we never expected such twists and turns.” I swallowed my saliva: "The good thing back then──" Duan Na said: "The person who went to the hospital to contact him was the director of the association. Since the child was already in the womb, a strong electric current could be detected, so it had to be treated specially. This is why we had to treat the child's father as a person who can generate electricity. Tell Dr. Dili the truth about the reason. As soon as Dr. Dili heard this, he immediately agreed to help us, and we will wait for you to talk about the future." Wen Yilai kept protesting, but we ignored him, and I told him everything I knew.Wen Yilai was dumbfounded when he heard it. Originally, he insisted that Dr. Dili "lost his bag", but at this time he couldn't hold on any longer.After I finished speaking, Tanner was strangely silent.I said: "I still don't understand one thing, you are the most important person, but Yilai doesn't seem to have seen you, what's going on?" Duan Na said: "He has seen me, but he can't remember it. When he was two years old, I left the old castle and was busy with other things, but I kept in touch with other members. Know everything about the child." I took a breath: "What is more important than watching a child grow?" Duan Na was stunned for a moment before slowly saying: "Of course there are more important things. I... can never forget what Lun Lun said about the description of the child's father having a 'palace'-like residence under the mud, so I set up a detection station beside the mud. I want to unearth the secrets under the mud, alas, time flies so fast, it’s nearly twenty years in a blink of an eye.” I couldn't help being amazed and curious: "Twenty years of exploration must have yielded great results?" Duanna lowered his head for a while: "I have always been considered as a detectorist with supernatural powers. Based on my instinct, less than a month after I started working, I may be sure that there are a large amount of metal in that mud. Existence is not even a mineral deposit, but a pure metal that has been refined, but after detection by instruments, the depth of the mud is actually 1,200 meters. The whole big mud is full of thin mud, and it is impossible for people to pass through anything. tool, into this deep mud." I asked eagerly, "You've got a way of knowing what's down there. Isn't there?" Duanna smiled wryly: "In the first ten years, I spent all my time inventing and manufacturing various detection instruments and contacting experts in this field all over the world. I have gathered a lot of information, and I have come to a preliminary conclusion." The owner of the ranch has long been dumbfounded by our story, and then he said another sentence: "Is there really a royal palace under a thousand meters of mud? Really?" Duanna shook his head: "I don't know if it's a royal palace, but under the mud, there is a huge metal object, oblong in shape, more than 100 meters long, 30 meters high, and 50 meters wide , the entire huge object. There are reactions of various metals, there are several kinds of reaction waves, it must be metals, but on the earth, the same metal reaction waves cannot be found, Mr. Wei, what is your conclusion?" I opened my mouth wide, and I couldn't make a sound at first, and then I called out: "A huge spaceship, sunk under the mud of 1,200 meters, is the residence of that person!" Duanna nodded: "Besides, Lun Lun once entered that spaceship, and her husband took her there. What method can be used to bring people into such a deep mud? I can't figure it out. come out." My breathing was a little short: "Knowing its existence, can you pick it up?" Duan Na's expression was quite sad: "In a few more years, maybe it's okay. I spent two years researching the possibility of salvaging it, and found that it is equal to zero." I also became very depressed, because I knew that if Donner said the probability was zero, it was zero, and no miracles would happen.At this time, there was a short silence, and then Wen Yilai suddenly laughed: "Everyone, your stories are really bizarre, but they have nothing to do with me. I am not some weird person who can generate electricity. The son of an alien visitor, and the mother will not be a native of the Gang clan. No matter what kind of adventure activities you are going to carry out, it has nothing to do with me. I will go back to the school in Switzerland immediately to continue my studies, and, from now on No longer interested in my parentage." As he spoke, he stood up, looking determined to leave. I said in a deep voice, "Yilai, let's face up to the reality." Wen Yilai spread his hands: "The truth is, I don't know how to generate electricity at all." Duan Na stared at Wen Yilai for a while, then suddenly said something extremely surprising. He said: "You can't generate electricity because you are only half." Wen Yilai shook suddenly, and so did I. For a moment, everyone froze.I guess, Wen Yilai and I both knew the meaning of Duan Na's words, so we were shocked in an instant.
