It was a very remote small village with only about a dozen households. My appearance first attracted seven or eight children in ragged clothes. They shouted in unison: "The reporter is here again! The reporter is here again!" They called it like that, of course it meant that the reporters had been here yesterday, so I smiled at them: "Where is the pigsty that was destroyed yesterday, who can show me?" Seven or eight children screamed together and ran forward, I followed behind them, but after walking not far, a middle-aged man came out to meet me, the middle-aged man looked worried, and saw me , sighed: "Mr. Reporter, you city people have knowledge, what kind of monster is that?"

I laughed and said, "I haven't seen the pigsty yet, so it's hard to draw conclusions." The middle-aged man said: "I am the village head, look, it's over there." I followed his direction and saw a pile of rocks. If it was a pigsty, then the pigsty had been completely knocked down. The village chief said again: "The strangest thing is that this happened at night, but none of the dozen or so dogs in the village barked. How could the dogs not bark?" Why doesn't the dog bark?Things are indeed a little unusual. Dogs in remote villages are the best at barking at strangers. Now that I am talking to the village chief, I have to raise my voice very high because there are more than a dozen dogs barking loudly beside us. .

I walked forward: "Apart from the destruction of the pigsty, what loss is there?" "Yes, the widow of the Liu family, some insignificant things are missing, and the door of her house has been torn down." "What is lost?" I was very interested. "Nothing, they are all used and played by 'Yakun'." The village head replied casually. The village head may think his words are unimportant, but his words made me jump! "Yakun"!I actually heard this name here, and this name came out of the mouth of the village chief. What an astonishing discovery, it was an unexpected discovery.

I always thought that this name was only known to me and Lieutenant Colonel Jack. "Yakun" is a very important person in the case of Professor Pei Da. How could his name be said by the village head of a remote village? For a moment, I almost doubted my ears, thinking that I had heard it wrong, so I hurriedly asked, "Who are you talking about? 'Yakun'?" The village head was not surprised, he nodded and said: "Yes, 'Yakun'." I tried to slow down my speech, because I was too eager to know the truth: "Village Chief, who is 'Yakun', please tell me in detail, this matter is too important!"

The village head looked at me very strangely, he certainly didn't know what I meant by "important", and I couldn't explain it clearly to him, so I just urged: "You tell me 'Yakun' Everything is fine." The village head said: "There is nothing to say, 'Yakun' is the son of Widow Liu, an idiot." "idiot?" "Yes, when he was born, everyone knew that he was abnormal, and his father died of anger because of it, but Widow Liu still regarded him as a treasure and worked hard to raise him!" I said: "Village chief, 'Yakun' is an idiot, and the idiot will not be known until he grows up. You said he was born abnormal, but what do you mean?"

The village chief frowned. He obviously didn't understand how I could be so interested in an idiot, and he was already feeling a little impatient, but he answered my question anyway: "That's something everyone can see Yes, his hands and feet—" Before he finished speaking, I lost my voice and said, "His hands and feet are very short and thick, aren't they?" The village head nodded: "Hey, how do you know?" But I didn't answer the village chief's question, because at this moment, my heart was in a state of extreme confusion.There is no doubt that the monster "Yakun" I saw in the cave is "Yakun" the son of Widow Liu in this village!

But why did Widow Liu's son go to Professor Pei Da's laboratory to raise tadpoles? Moreover, when I saw "Yakun", there seemed to be a plastic plate on the top of "Yakun", and there were several screws, which looked very strange, so why? I feel that I should be able to come up with something, but what is in front of me is just a pile of messy threads, and I can't figure out a clue. The village head saw that I didn't speak, so he called me a few times, and I just answered him casually. The village head said: "Sir, why did you ask about 'Ya Kun'? You thought it was 'Ya Kun' who came back to the village. Come and sabotage?"

I was startled again: "You said 'Yakun' came back to the village, what is that?" The village chief's eyes widened: "'Yakun' has disappeared!" As soon as I stretched out my hand, I grabbed the village chief's arm, but I immediately realized that my actions were very abnormal, so I let go of my hand again, and said, "When did he disappear?" The village chief said: "Let me think about it, he is... By the way, when Widow Liu was crying and asking people in the village to help her find her son, it happened that someone was having a wedding in the market, that was..."

The village chief went on to say a day. And after I heard about that day, my heart beat even more violently! That was two days before the start of the "Synthesis Project". It's not a coincidence. I can be sure that "Yakun" has something to do with Professor Pei Da's "Synthesis Project"! Moreover, I can further confirm that in Professor Pei Da's "synthesis plan", "Yakun" must occupy an extremely important position! However, "Yakun" is an idiot, an idiot who was born with deformities, and Professor Pei Da is a world-renowned authoritative biologist. How could there be any relationship between them?

Frowning my eyebrows, I asked this question seven or eight times in my mind, and then, suddenly, my heart lit up, and I sorted out a thread from a pile of messy threads: Professor Pei Da wants to reform the "Asian Kun"! Professor Pei Da transforms "Yakun" and wants to turn an idiot into a normal person. That must be Professor Pei Da's plan, an unprecedented plan! Naturally, this plan has never been implemented by human beings before, and only a great scientist like Professor Pei Da can conceive such an astonishing transformation plan! However, I have only figured out a clue, and there are more questions that cannot be explained. These questions include: Why did Beixing feel that he had committed a crime, and why did he say that Professor Pei Da deserved what he deserved?What kind of operations did Professor Pei Da perform on "Yakun" so that "Yakun" would become so vicious and destructive?

My demeanor of thinking hard must be very serious, so the village head misunderstood, thinking that I would have some bad ideas for "Yakun", he said: "Sir, don't think wrongly, 'Yakun' Although he is an idiot, he is very kind, and the children in the village like playing with him the most." I asked, "Does the child dare to play with him?" "Dare to play with him? What does this mean? 'Yakun' never bullies children. He will be stupid for a long time when he steps on a piece of grass. He likes all kinds of bugs the most. He treats children Best." I asked again: "How old is the intelligence of 'Ya Kun'? Can you estimate it?" The village chief shook his head: "He is sixteen years old, but my two-year-old child knows more than him. He is a complete idiot!" I didn't say anything more, because from what the village chief said, I knew at least one more thing, that is, the "Yakun" who lived in the village was a kind "Yakun", but when he arrived at the place where Professor Pei Da , he changed, into a destroyer and murderer, into an extremely dangerous monster! Now, the destruction suffered in the village, and the playthings of "Ya Kun" were stolen, there is no doubt that "Ya Kun" did it! I never told the village chief about this, because the villagers are simple-minded, and if I explained everything to them, it would cause them extreme panic. But the village chief asked me in reverse: "Mr. Reporter, you know a lot. Go everywhere. If you have a chance, it would be good to help Widow Liu find 'Yakun' back. He is really pitiful and doesn't know anything. !" I perfunctory the village chief and left the village. "Yakun" must still be hiding near this village, and he must be found, because until now, although I don't know what changes have taken place in him, the current "Yakun" is an extremely dangerous character, there is no doubt about it! If the children in the village don't know about this change, see "Yakun" and still play with him... When I thought of this, the horrible scene of Professor Pei Da's tragic death came to my mind naturally, so that I shuddered shrewdly, not daring to think about it any further. Moreover, this kind of tragedy is definitely not my fantasy. Before "Yakun" is found, it can happen anytime and anywhere.So after I said goodbye to the village chief, I ran forward. To find "Yakun", it is beyond my ability to do it alone. I must immediately notify the police and send a large team to the vicinity of this village to conduct a thorough search. I ran to the side of the car, and as soon as I opened the door, I saw a four or five-year-old little girl put her finger in her mouth, sucking it with relish, yelling, and ran over. What I can hear her calling is "'Yakun' pretends to be a bull, 'Yakun' pretends to be a bull, 'Yakun' pulls up a big tree, 'Yakun' pulls up a big tree." I was stunned for a moment, and picked up the little girl: "Sister, what are you talking about?" Seeing that I was a stranger, the girl immediately pursed her mouth and wanted to cry. I hurriedly said, "I know what you're talking about. You're talking about 'Yakun', aren't you?" The little girl stopped crying, and she discussed "Yakun" with me with great interest, she said: "Yes, 'Yakun' is really powerful, as soon as she stretches out her hand, she can pull up a tree! " After I heard this, I couldn't help taking a breath: "Where did you see him?" The little girl stretched out her hand and pointed forward: "It's over there." I hurriedly asked again: "Is he alone?" The little girl shook her head and said, "No, there are many people with him, Brother Niu, Little Brother, Dragon Boy, and Pig Girl." I just felt the cold sweat on my back, and I almost couldn't even speak smoothly: the children in the village are with "Yakun"! I don't have time to inform the police. I must first try to isolate the village boy from "Yakun" to avoid a tragedy, or the tragedy has already happened!Alas, who knew it would happen so quickly!I hurriedly said: "Take me to see 'Yakun' quickly, take me there!" I put the little girl down, and the little girl ran forward, and I followed behind, ran about half a mile, climbed up a hillside, looked down, and saw a stream that had dried up to the bottom. There is almost no water in the stream ten, and it is full of large and strange-shaped stones. On a very flat grassland on the river slope, I saw "Yakun" and seven or eight children! On the slope of the river, there was a thick and young tree with a bowl mouth that was uprooted and fell to the side. "Yakun" was sitting on a stone, and the children were right in front of him.The tragedy I expected has not yet happened, which makes me a little relieved, but danger can still happen at any time! I had to calmly lead the child away, and I couldn't tell the child to run, because I knew that "Ya Kun" moved very fast, and no child could run faster than him. In that cave, I once suffered from "Yakun", and I was discharged from the hospital after lying in the hospital for a full week. At this time, when I saw "Yakun", I still felt a chill in my heart!But I must approach him! I squatted down so that "Yakun" could not see me, and then I told the little girl: "Little sister, go back to the village and tell the village chief—" The little girl said: "The village chief is my father." I hurriedly said: "Okay, then you go and tell your father, tell your father to quickly find more people to come here." The little girl wondered, "What are you doing here?" I sighed: "Oh, you don't understand, you just do what I say, do you remember?" The little girl put her finger in her mouth: "Remember!" She turned around and ran out.I know that it is too unreliable to place the task of asking for rescue soldiers on a little girl who is only four or five years old, but there is no other way, because those children are so close to "Yakun"! I quickly walked down the slope of the river until I came to the vicinity of the flat ground. I hid behind a big tree, and I could only hear the laughter of those children, and he kept passing it. They obviously didn't know them at all. In the midst of extreme danger, on the contrary, he was very happy. I also heard an eight or nine-year-old boy pointing at the head of "Yakun" and shouting: "'Yakun', what is on your head?" "Yakun" stood up, and there was an indistinct sound from his throat. The boy not only asked, but also walked over, trying to touch the screws on the head of "Yakun". At that time, the distance between me and "Ya Kun" was less than three yards. Under the sunlight, I could see "Ya Kun" very clearly. His terrifying appearance was really enough to scare even an adult out. Sick. And those village boys are not afraid of him at all, that is naturally because they are used to seeing him since they were young.However, when the boy was walking towards "Ya Kun", I also saw that something was wrong, because "Ya Kun" leaned back and stretched out his hand to push the boy! Judging from his pushing action, he probably didn't want others to touch his head. He probably didn't exert any force at all, but the boy couldn't stop it. Just when "Yakun"'s hand hit the boy's shoulder, the boy fell out. Fortunately, it was just a hillside, and the hillside was full of soft weeds, so the boy rolled and fell out. After a few yards, Yigulu stood up, apparently unharmed. However, the boy's face was already full of horror, not only him, but many other children were also stunned. "Yakun" stood up, and a very weird sound came out of his mouth. The sound was very indescribable, like the urgent cry of a gorilla when it suddenly stepped on a red-hot iron block! "Yakun" yelled, pointing at his own head, as if signaling those children not to touch his head. And at this time, I could see no more clearly. I could see that the head of "Ya Kun" had undergone a huge operation, and his skull was even completely removed, and the flat piece Yes, the plastic with screws replaced the skull! Just in an instant, my heart suddenly moved! I immediately remembered that Professor Pei Da's so-called "synthetic project" must be related to the brain of "Yakun"! At the same time, I quickly imagined the course of the incident in my mind. The course I planned was: "Yakun" is an idiot. Professor Pei Da saw him by chance, and Professor Pei Da wanted to heal him. So he took him to his home and operated on his brain. However, I immediately overturned my own assumption, because this assumption is not true.First, Professor Pei Da is just a biologist, not a doctor, and he would not think of curing diseases for "Yakun". Second, if Professor Pei Da's purpose is to treat "Ya Kun"'s illness, then he definitely does not need to completely remove "Ya Kun's" skull and replace it with a plastic cover.Of course, there is no reason to use screws to tighten the plastic cover, use screws, use screws... I was thinking about why Professor Pei Da used a plastic plate to replace Yakun's skull. Suddenly, I thought of it, and at the same time, I couldn't help shivering cleverly!The reason why Professor Pei Da used a plastic plate to replace Yakun's skull was naturally to conduct an experiment, and the few screws were naturally for the convenience of the experiment, so that the host Professor Pei Da, who works in the experiment, can open the plastic plate at any time to observe the brain activity of "Yakun"! In other words, Professor Pei Da is experimenting with a living person! When I think of this, I can't help but feel cold hands and feet!
