Wesley Reserve 2

When I think of this, I can't help but feel very bad in my heart, it seems that all my guesses are wrong?

Durian was already walking outside, and I followed him through a corridor, took the elevator again, and walked in another corridor. I noticed that in the corridor of the hospital, there were quite a few people dressed in white, like guards. Du Liang lowered his voice and said to me, "There is a special place in this hospital, and the people who come to seek medical treatment are all tycoons, including heads of state, financial giants, and other prominent figures, so the security work is even worse than any hospital." ”

I just snorted, at this stage, I really don't have anything to comment on.

When I stopped in front of a hospital room, two white-clad figures at the door greeted Du Liang, looked at me with strange eyes, and then tapped on the door a few times.

Opening the door was an extremely tall and unusually beautiful young nurse. I believe that as long as people who are not terminally ill and know that death is coming, with such a nurse as a companion, will feel that it is a pleasure.

The beautiful nurse opened the door to Dr. Duryan and me, showing a smile that would not be forgotten for at least a few days. Inside the door was an extremely spacious and comfortable ward, and on top of a bed in the middle lay a pale Tao Qiquan.

When the door opened and Du Liang and I walked forward, Tao Qiquan was also coming from the bed, turning his head sideways, and looking at me.

As soon as I saw Tao Qiquan, I couldn't help but shudder.

He looked in a very good condition, and although his face was pale, he did not have the various tubes that a person who had just completed major surgery was connected to him. The reason I was upset at that time was because I had seen him before I fell unconscious, and when I woke up, he had not only finished the operation, but also seemed to be recovering rapidly.

So, how long have I been in a coma?

My thoughts were very disordered, and Tao Qiquan wanted to bend over to greet me after seeing me, but the beautiful nurse immediately reached out and gently held him down.

I came to the bedside, Tao Qiquan shook his head, and said, "Count your skills, but didn't I tell you not to be clever?" Why are you still here? I'm fine, anyone can see that I'm fine, and you don't have to make any more trouble. ”

I waited quietly for him to finish speaking before I said, "It's not that I'm clever, it's you." I wasn't here for you at all, and I didn't know I'd see you in this hospital. ”

Tao Qiquan let out an "ah" sound and said, "That's the way it is." ”

I came closer and looked at him carefully. There is no doubt that the person lying in bed today is tao Qiquan, whom I am familiar with, one of the richest people in Asia, a person with a serious heart condition. This man, whom I had seen in the storage room, was clearly the same person.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say, or Tao Qiquan said first: "I will recover soon, thank you for your concern for me." ”

I had to point to his heart and say, "You've had a heart transplant?" ”

Tao Qiquan blinked, "I don't know what the doctor did to me, anyway, as long as I can get my health back, I am not a medical expert, I don't need to know too much expertise." "I really don't understand what's going on. What even Dr. Barnard thought was impossible, could be done in this hospital? This is really impossible.

I turned my head to look at Dr. Du Liang, who was also looking at me, and I said, "Who did the operation—which doctor did it?" ”

Du Liang's expression was a little cold, and he said, "Mr. Wei, this question has nothing to do with you, even Mr. Tao will not ask, who performs the operation is the same, mainly the result of the operation." ”

I touched a nail, but I refused to give up, and said, "You have solved the rejection problem of organ transplantation?" ”

Dr. Du Liang's expression was even more indifferent, and he said, "It is simply impossible to explain such a complicated question to you, a half-knowing layman, please forgive me for my answer." ”

I took a breath and said, "Yes, I don't understand, but there are people in the world who understand, you have made such a great discovery, why don't you make it public, it can save many people's lives." ”

Dr. Du Liang looked up, did not make a sound, Tao Qiquan sighed, said: "Wesley, are you okay with your own affairs?" Fortunately, there are not many people like you among my acquaintances. ”

I nodded my head again and said, "I'm thinking about you, I'm afraid you'll be deceived, how much did you spend on medical treatment here?" ”

Tao Qiquan's expression was impatient to the extreme, he raised his voice, and said: "Money is not a problem for me at all, I just need to live, and now, I can live." ”

I leaned down and said, "I don't believe you can live like a normal person, and the rejection of organ transplantation is insoluble." ”

Tao Qiquan closed his eyes, his expression was extremely leisurely, and said, "I don't want to argue with you pointlessly, but I hope that after half a year, I can compete with you on the tennis court." ”

I saw him speak so affirmatively, and I had to smile bitterly, and I thought, no matter what, it would be a good thing to let him spend a little money, and before he died, gain confidence.

The whole incident seems to have nothing to do with me, and I really don't need to dwell on it anymore. I turned around as I thought, but at that moment I asked, I remembered something, "Why do you feel so scared when you see me in the utility room?" ”

When I asked this question, I had already turned around halfway, so that I could see that Du Liang suddenly blinked. Du Liangzi was glancing at Tao Qiquan on the hospital bed. Why should he look at me with this question?

In my heart, Tao Qiquan had already said, "Of course I am afraid, I am afraid that you will not be able to accomplish enough, and there will be more than enough failures." ”

I was angry again, and I was confused, turned around, glanced at Tao Qiquan, Tao Qiquan made a grimace at me, I had to snort, walked to the door of the ward, while scolding myself in my heart for many things, he is a billionaire, want me to worry about what to do for him!

The beautiful nurse rushed to open the door for me and smiled at me again, but I didn't appreciate it, I just felt that there were countless questions in my heart, but the doubts could not be sorted out. Everything seems suspicious, but everything is in no way suspicious.

When I walked out of the ward, Dr. Du Liang followed, and I turned my back on him and asked, "How long have I been unconscious?" ”

Dr. Du Liang said, "Twelve days." ”

As soon as I heard it, I almost jumped up and said, "Twelve days!" Why did I stay in a coma for so long? ”

Du Liang said, "This is What Tao Qiquan meant, he was afraid that you would... What will it be? There are not enough things to be done, and there are more than enough failures. ”

I took a breath and said, "I don't believe it." ”

Du Liang said, "He should tell you personally." ”

I rushed out and said, "You look at him, and then he answers?" ”

Du Liang hesitated and said, "What are you suspicious of?" ”

I snorted and said heartily, "I don't know, I really don't know, I don't know what I'm suspecting." For twelve days, I was in a coma for twelve days. ”

Du Liang said, "Yes, you have excellent physique, ordinary people can't move for at least half a day after waking up." ”

My heart fluttered, "If my physique is below the average level, then isn't it going to cause great harm to my health?" You're doctors, how can you—"

Du Liang didn't wait for me to finish speaking, then he waved his hand and said, "We were originally trying our best to oppose it, but Tao Qiquan insisted on this, and he said that if it didn't make you unconscious, his operation would definitely be obstructed by you." ”

He brought out Tao Qiquan everywhere, and, in fact, Tao Qiquan was indeed on his side, making me unable to do anything.

I took a deep breath and walked straight out, all the way to the main gate of the hospital, out of the iron door, the iron door closed behind me, I turned around and looked back, looked at the hospital building, and my heart was really unspeakably frustrated. This hospital is obviously extremely strange, but I can't find out at all.

As I thought, I walked forward, my thoughts extremely disordered, and before I knew it, I came to the lake again. I stopped by the lake and kicked the pebbles with my toes. Behind me, a woman's voice came, "Mr. Wei, you are here." ”

I turned my head and saw Miss Haven, who was walking toward the lake, and I smiled bitterly and said, "It's been a long time." ”

Haven came up to me and said, "About Chulen—"

I looked bitter and said, "As you said, the time has been too long to find anything." ”

Haven also smiled bitterly and said, "Those few photos he left behind, they don't have any effect at all?" ”

I said, "It's a little bit useful, that kind of vehicle, that kind of person in white, it's all the people in that hospital—"

As I spoke, I reached out in the direction of the hospital and pointed. At that moment, I suddenly "ah" a sound.

Haven looked at me with astonishment, and I remembered one thing, that in the picture that Chu Lun had taken, there was a man, thin, with a pointed forehead, and that person was the one who called himself Dr. Barnard's personal representative, and it was no wonder that when I first saw this mysterious Mr. Roark, I felt a little familiar.

I suddenly became dazed. Although I was already sure that Roque was from this hospital, what did that mean? Still nothing can be said. The situation is no different than not noticing this, and I still know that this hospital is a little strange, but I can't know what is weird.

Haven saw me shuddering and said, "What's wrong?" ”

I sat down on the grass by the lake and said, "There must be something weird about this hospital." ”

After I said this, without waiting for Haven to ask, I waved my hand and said, "But I don't know what's weird, I want to come and go, I don't have a clue." ”

Haven looked at me with a very sympathetic look, and after a moment she said, "Maybe a list will help you?" ”

I was a little puzzled and said, "What list?" ”

Haven lowered his voice and said, "I got it from my investigation, a list of people who have been treated in the hospital over the years." ”

I smiled bitterly, what's the use of that? Every hospital has patients, and there must be patients who have recovered and discharged. Haven saw that I didn't have anything to say, and said with a somewhat sarcastic look, "This list is full of very prominent figures, including two presidents, seven generals, three Arab chiefs, and several very rich people." ”

I frowned and looked in the direction of the hospital. At this point by the lake, there was no hospital in sight, but I still looked forward sheepishly. How can such a hospital, with no name and no famous doctors, attract so many big people to seek medical treatment?

Others do not say, Tao Qiquan came to this hospital, it is very mysterious, he was taken away by a person who called himself Luo Ke, this Luo Ke is a person in the hospital, is this hospital specially sent people to the door to seriously ill patients everywhere to "pocket business"? And what kind of certainty do they have that they can completely cure diseases like Tao Qiquan, which are recognized by the medical community around the world as having no cure?

The doubt in my heart has reached the extreme, but I still don't know where to open the gap and seek answers.

At that time, while thinking, I asked in passing: "These patients, are all cured?" ”

Haven said, "Yes, I work in an organization at the United Nations — I once told you that I met a head of state who, three months after the rumor that he had an incurable disease, attended an international conference, and he was a good Chinese doctor in this hospital." ”

I took a deep breath and said, "So it seems that the secret of this hospital is that they have mastered an extremely advanced medical technique that can cure diseases that are generally recognized as incurable." ”

Haven's expression was a little angry, "If so, why don't they publish it?" ”

My mind was still very disturbed, and I said, "Generally speaking, medical discoveries are immediately published, but if this hospital has new discoveries and does not publish them, but treats the tycoons who can afford to pay huge fees, is it a crime?" ”

Haven blinked, unable to answer my question.

If things are really as I assume, of course, it is not a crime, and this hospital is just for huge profits. Of course, this practice is extremely immoral. But how many of the world's modus operandi are ethical?

Things got to this point, I really couldn't investigate anymore, I stood up again, and said, "Where is your car?" Can you give me a ride? My car—"

I smiled bitterly, and before I died twelve, my car was parked about a kilometer away from the hospital, and now the car is still there, and I don't know. When Haven saw that I was ready to give up, she looked very disappointed, "Then, chulen's death, no one can ever know the truth?" ”

My heart was very heavy, and I said, "There is no way, things have passed for so long, there is really no way." ”

Haven didn't say anything, just pointed to the side of the road, and I saw a small car parked on the side of the road, so I walked forward with her. She and I arrived at the place where I had parked twelve days ago, and the car was still there, and I said goodbye to her, got into the car, and started for a long time before I got it up, drove it, and went back to the only hotel in the town of Leman.

As soon as my car stopped, the hotel manager rushed out, waved his hand, and said, "Welcome, welcome." ”

When I opened the car door, he saw me, shook his head, and then smiled and said, "Sir, you can have the best room for you, and you can be guaranteed to be quiet." The whole hotel, apart from you, is just an old British gentleman. ”

I said in passing, "What about General Zilo's retinue?" ”

The manager said, "The general has left the hospital and returned to China." ”

I followed him toward the hotel, filling out a simple form, and when he gave me the keys, I turned around and saw another hotel guest, the manager's mouth, "Mr. English Old." ”

※※※

"Mr. Englishman" is really an old British gentleman, sixty miles away, with a rosy face. However, I have never associated him with the three words "old man", he is a shrewd and capable, full of vitality.

Sha Ling also saw me, and we both gave a cheer at the same time, which startled the hotel manager a lot, and I rushed to Sha Ling and hugged him, and he slapped my arm hard, saying, "What are you doing here?" ”

I sighed and said, "That's a long story, what are you doing here?" ”

Sha Lingxian hesitated and did not answer me immediately, I saw his expression, did not want to tell me the reason why he came here, which made me very angry, said: "I did not know that between us, there are still secrets to keep." ”

Sha Ling's expression was even more embarrassed, and he grabbed my arm and said, "Go, go to your room." ”

I saw that he seemed to have a very difficult matter, and I knew that if he had secrets, he would never fail to discuss them with me. But I still pretended to be very angry—that would make him speak more painfully.

When they reached my room, Sha Ling looked at me for a moment before saying, "This is an extreme secret, if it is passed out, it can cause great turmoil and even affect the whole world." ”

I scoffed and said, "Don't think you're great. ”

Sha Ling said, "It's not an exaggeration at all, think about it, what would happen if the news that Prince Apat was dying spread?" ”

For a moment, I couldn't help but open my mouth wide and close it. Prince Apante, who was his bodyguard, and the prince had almost half control of Arabian oil, could cause the world economy to fluctuate violently, and if the news of his imminent death came out and those vying for the succession would begin to act, no one could say what the impact would have.

I took a slow breath and said, "It's not an exaggeration, but the prince is going to die, and you're here—"

The three words I said below, "what to do", before I could ask the exit, had already suddenly thought of the answer: Lerman Sanatorium.

Apant must have come to that hospital too.

I was still taking a slow breath just now, but at this moment, I took a quick breath and said, "The prince is in a hospital near here?" ”

Sha Ling showed a very surprised look, and I hurriedly made a gesture to him, "When did you arrive?" ”

Sha Ling said, "Three days ago." ”

I said, "What disease is he suffering from?" ”

Sha Ling's voice was very low, "Stomach cancer." ”

I almost jumped up and said, "So far, there is no doctor in the world who can cure stomach cancer!" ”

Sha Ling pursed his mouth and did not make a sound, I stared at him, Sha Ling after a moment, before saying: "From the beginning, I know the situation, do you want to listen?" ”

I shook my head and said, "I'm not interested in how he got sick, I just want to know why he came to this hospital." ”

Sha Ling said, "Things are very mysterious, the prince after examination, after proving that he has stomach cancer, he kept extreme secrets, and the result of the doctor's consultation is that unless the whole stomach and part of the intestine are removed, they can maintain life, but a person without the whole stomach and part of the intestines ——"

When Sha Ling said this, he made an extremely strange look. He continued, "The prince was very brave, he didn't want to live like this, and he refused to perform the operation." Because of the importance of his position, he wanted to make a good arrangement before he died, but found that the situation was very sinister, and that a prince who was most likely to take his place was very ambiguous——"

I waved my hand, interrupted his life, and said, "It doesn't matter how he got here." ”

Sha Ling said, "You are so anxious. I was in the hospital with him day and night, and a few days ago there was a Westerner who gave himself his name, called Roark—"

As soon as I heard the name "Roque", I involuntarily let out a groan, and in an instant, my face became very pale, "Don't say it, I know it." ”

Sha Ling protested, "You can't possibly know. ”

I smiled bitterly and said, "I just know that after a secret conversation between Roque and the prince, the prince felt that his illness was completely curable, unlike the incurable diseases that ordinary doctors say, so he came here to seek medical treatment. ”

Sha Ling looked at me with wide eyes, and I said, "I have a friend who is in that hospital now, and he is one of the richest people in Asia, and he is suffering from a serious illness with a broken heart, and the situation is exactly the same as what happened to the prince." ”

Sha Ling tensed up sharply, waved his hand vigorously, and said, "What kind of deception is that?" I can't think of a broken head. How could a shrewd and capable prince believe the man and feel that his illness could be cured, and what kind of deception was that? ”

I slowly shook my head and said, "It's not a scam, they really have the ability to heal patients." My friend, who has been operated on and is recovering, seems to be in excellent spirits. ”

Sha Ling narrowed his eyes, "Heart transplant?" ”

I said, "There is no way to save his life except for a heart transplant." ”

Sha Ling wandered around the room for a moment and said, "Is that because I was mistaken?" But their conditions—"

I busied myself: "Conditions? What conditions? Is it the reward needed to heal Prince Apant? ”

Sha Ling nodded, "Yes, I heard it when the prince was talking to himself, and it was really frightening." ”

I urged, "I can't scare people, just say yes." ”

Sha Ling spoke a few words. Of course, I was not scared to death by Sha Ling's words, but I was also shocked for a while and did not speak.

It took me a while before I said, "Not really. ”

Sha Ling said, "I heard the prince talking to himself, and when he said those words, he used the native language of his tribe, and I learned this language, he said: 'Allocate to them one-third of the annual income from oil.' It's not easy to do, but it's worth it to keep me alive. ’”

I blinked involuntarily and said, "One-third of the annual income from oil is really frightening, I am afraid of Prince Apant, I am not capable of doing this!" ”

Sha Ling said, "Yes, if he launches a coup d'état and turns himself into a dictator, then whatever he does is." ”

I asked again, "One-third, what's the estimate?" ”

Sha Ling put up a few fingers and said, "Every year, more than two billion dollars!" annually! ”

The muscles in my face touched a little, Prince Apant's medical expenses are more than two billion DOLLARs a year, how much is Tao Qiquan's? How much is General Zilo? How much does this hospital really earn?

Sha Ling and I were silent for a moment before Sha Ling broke the silence and said, "If there is no element of crime involved in such a thing as so much money, I will not believe in killing my head." ”

I said, "But in fact, they are saving lives, not killing people." Although Cullen's death is very suspicious. ”

Sha Ling, like a hound sniffing its prey, immediately looked alert, "What Chu Lun's death?" ”

I settled my mind a little and told him in detail about Chu Lun, about Tao Qiquan, and about my experience.

Sha Ling cried out and said, "You've knocked them unconscious for twelve days, and that's it?" ”

I said, "So what?" I saw that Tao Qiquan was really recovering, and I didn't know what they did, but Tao Qiquan volunteered to receive treatment and really healed. ”

Sha Ling frowned tightly, and I said, "Moreover, the people who have been healed are not only Tao Qiquan, QiLuo has been discharged from the hospital, and there are many people who have been treated and recovered their health, including——""

I read the names on the list that Haven had read to me, one by one. There are not many people, and they are all very famous and big people, and it is not difficult to remember their names.

When I was halfway through reading, Sha Ling's eyes lit up and he said, "Wait, wait, wait." ”

I stopped, but Saring didn't make a sound.

Looking at him, he seemed to be thinking about something, and after a while, he said, "Who else, let's talk about it later." ”

I read the names of several more people, and when I finished reading them, Sha Ling's breath was very urgent, staring at me headlessly and brainlessly: "Is this a coincidence?" ”

Inexplicably, I asked, "What coincidence?" ”

Sha Ling said, "There are many of those people you just read, all of them are on my list. ”

I still don't know so, said, "Your list?" ”

Sha Ling waved his hand vigorously and said, "My list, the list of big people I investigated, the list of big people who were accidentally injured." "I stayed for a while, yes. Sharing had done such an investigation because someone had impersonated the Japanese to see Prince Apant, and Prince Arpant had been injured a little—an injury that was utterly insignificant. Although it caused a wave of tension at the time, after the fact, no one paid attention to it except Sha Ling.

Sha Ling, on the other hand, not only took this matter to heart, but also did his best to conduct an extremely extensive investigation. He once told me the results of the investigation, saying that he had found many super big people, and similar situations had occurred. My answer at the time was: It is not surprising that anyone has a slight injury in their lifetime. And now, comparing the list he had investigated with the list of people who had sought medical treatment in the Lerman sanatorium, it was quite a shocking thing.

Is there some kind of relationship between the two? All of a sudden. My mind was very confused, staring at Sha Ling, who was obviously also in thought, his hands waving meaninglessly, and as I looked at him, he suddenly cried out a little nervously, "Wesley! ”

I said busily, "What did you think?" ”

Sha Ling took a deep breath and said, "If all the injured people in the list I investigated, their injuries, were all deliberately caused, I mean, someone deliberately injured those super big people!" ”

I said, "So what?" ”

Sha Ling said: "At that time, we had considered that the other party's means were a chronic poison——"

I interjected, "But there won't be a poison, the onset of the drug is so slow!" ”

Sha Ling slapped himself the head and said, If the injured person, because of this injury, after a certain period of time, has a serious illness, is it possible? ”

I sighed and said, "Sha Ling, I see what you mean." ”

Saring coughed dryly twice, and since my tone was full of sympathy, he knew that I was only sympathizing with his whimsical suffering, not agreeing with him.

He made a helpless look. I continued, "I see what you mean, you mean that a person who has suffered a slight injury some time ago will later develop into a serious illness. And this disease must be treated in the Lerman Sanatorium, and the hospital can take the opportunity to ask for a huge treatment fee? ”

Sha Ling kept nodding his head. "Isn't this speculation very reasonable?" ”

I said, "It's reasonable, but you have to notice that these people's diseases are by no means caused by a minor injury many years ago." Minor injuries can cause heart disease. Can it cause bowel cancer? ”

Sha Ling smiled bitterly, "I... I am not sure, but there is a fact that cannot be ignored, that is, all people with terminal illnesses go to that nursing home, and in that hospital that is unknown to the world, all kinds of terminal diseases can be cured. What are they? Is it the creator of miracles? Or have they broken through the prisons of modern medicine? ”

I smiled bitterly, this question, I don't know how many times I have thought about it, without a clue.

Of course, I couldn't answer Saring's question at this point.

Sha Ling saw that I didn't answer, and said hatefully, "I must find out what is going on." ”

I sighed and said, "The biggest possibility is that they have made a huge breakthrough in medicine, and in general, incurable terminal diseases are very simple in their opinion." ”

Sha Ling said, "Then why don't they make it public?" ”

I said, "If they really master this new medical technique, they also have the right not to disclose it, right?" ”

Sha Ling muttered a few words, I did not quite understand what he was scolding, but I could also know the words he scolded, usually, an English gentleman in his life, it is difficult to have the opportunity to say a second time.

I patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll see for it, you're here waiting for Prince Apant to recover, and I'm going to go back first." ”

Sha Ling held his head in both hands and said, "If the truth of this matter is not understood, I will not be blinded." ”

I actually had the same thoughts as him, but seeing that his expression was so excited, I had to comfort him, saying, "There are many things in the world that can never understand the truth." ”

Sha Ling was obviously not satisfied with my attitude and waved, "Go, go, you go home." ”

I had nothing else to say, left the room, contacted the airline, and prepared to go home.

The next day, Sharing arrived at the Lerman Sanatorium early in the morning. I knew that the purpose of his going to the hospital was to accompany Prince Apant, and second, to find some clues in the hospital—I had tried, but I had found nothing, and I did not want to go again.

At noon, I left the hotel room, and the hotel owner saw that I was leaving, and showed a very sorry look. Just as I stepped out of the hotel, thinking that I would not know when I would return to this town, the owner of the hotel suddenly chased out and shouted: "Sir, there is your phone." ”

I turned around, thinking that sha ling had probably called from the hospital to see if I was gone, but the owner of the hotel blinked mysteriously at me and said, "A lady called." ”

For a moment, I couldn't remember who would call me, walked back to the hotel, answered the phone at the counter, and the other person's voice was very urgent, "Mr. Wei, you hurry up." ”

I let out an "Oh" and said, "Miss Haven?" Where are you? ”

In fact, as soon as I heard The voice of Haven on the phone, I said such a sentence, but In the phone, Haven had already repeated at least seven or eight times in a hasty tone, "Hurry up!" ”

I asked, "Where are you?" ”

Haven gasped and said, "I'm really flustered, I'm calling in a small coffee shop, and I'm waiting for you to come, and that little coffee shop is right next to the lake—it's the road near the little lake where I dated Chu Lun, and you hurry up, hurry up." ”

I vaguely remember that on the side of the road, there seemed to be a very simple little coffee shop, so simple that it could not be noticed. I said, "I can find out, are you in any trouble?" ”

Haven said, "No, no, I... It's hard to understand on the phone, you hurry up. ”

I said yes to her, put down the phone, and said to the hotel owner: "Keep my room, I will not leave." ”

The hotel owner was very happy and rubbed his hands. Because Haven's voice on the phone was so urgent, I immediately hurried out of the hotel, got into the car, and drove straight to the lake.

As I approached the lake, I turned onto the road, and after a while I saw the little coffee shop.

The little coffee shop was actually hard to identify, but I saw Haven standing in front of the shop from a long distance, and as soon as she saw my car coming, she ran straight ahead, I stopped next to her, she opened the door, sat down next to me, and kept gasping for breath.

Her face was very pale, but her expression was full of extreme excitement. From the look on her face, it was certain that she had not suffered any unfortunate things. Without waiting for her to sit still, I said, "What's the matter?" ”

Haven was still gasping for breath and said, "I can't say it either, the whole thing, it seems... seem...... You sail to the lake. ”

As I drove the car, I said, "Speak slowly." ”

It took a full minute for Haven to settle down slightly, telling her story and why she wanted to see me. Haven went to the lake again, and even she couldn't say why, maybe she was still missing a time when she and Chu Lun had met, maybe she liked the scenery by the lake.

Whatever the reason. She came to the lake again, and, in the same place where she and Cullen had once sat, sat alone. When she sat for a moment, bored, she stood up and walked slowly forward, approaching a bush.

The bush was very thick, and in the thick bushes of low trees, Haven saw a man, holding his head behind his back, squatting, according to Haven, squatting like a rabbit.

(Haven met a man in the bush, and I had seen a man in that bush, and that man, according to Dr. Durian, had intermittent dementia, and I had been bitten hard by him on my arm.) ）

(I was a little nervous when I heard Haven say she saw someone in the bushes.) ）

Haven saw the man crouching, motionless, and stopped, and she didn't feel scared at that time, only strange, not knowing what the man was doing crouching there.

The man held his head in both hands and bowed his head, and Haven could not see his face clearly. She just wanted to wait for the man to look up first, so she could talk to the man for a few words.

But after several minutes, the man remained motionless, and Haven made some noises.

Because of the horror of what happened next, she couldn't remember whether she paused or coughed. Anyway, she made a little noise.

And when she made a sound, the man looked up.

As soon as the man looked up, Haven froze. Her gaze stayed on the man's face and she opened her mouth wide, but she couldn't make any sound, only felt extremely frightened.

And the man just looked at Haven sheepishly.

(I asked anxiously, "Haven, who is that man?") ”）

(Haven replied, "Heaven, Wesley, Heaven, that man is Churon!") ”）

(The man was Chu Lun, and I froze, the man was Chu Lun, wasn't Chu Lun already dead?) ）

That man was Chu Lun!

The shock caused by The shock he caused when Hevin first saw that the man was Chu Lun was really incomparable, and after staying for a long time, she called out steeply: "Chu Lun! ”

Chu Lun was still squatting, and still holding his head in both hands, just looking at Haven with an extremely dazed, nearly demented look.

Haven's breathing, naturally, began to rush as she cried, "Chu lun, what's wrong with you?" You don't know me anymore. ”

Chu Lun did not react at all, and Haven said that she had only one feeling at that time, that she was not speaking to a living person, but to an extremely realistic human figure.

But in front of her, not only was she a living person, but it was also the same Chu Lun she knew.

Haven had never experienced anything like this in her life, and she was at the moment when she didn't know how to get better when she heard a voice, coming from far and near.

This kind of sound, Haven is not unfamiliar, it is the sound of a light car driving.

At that moment, Haven noticed that Chu Lun was wearing a ridiculous white cloth dress. It was also at that moment that she remembered what had happened to the lake many years ago, and Chu Lun thought that she had seen General Zilo, but as a result, a light car came, and two people jumped out of the car and arrested General Zilo, and Chu Lun chased after him, and his whereabouts were unknown.

As soon as Haven heard the sound of the light car coming by, and remembered these things, her first reaction was: There must be someone in the light car, probably to catch Chu Lun.

So, she immediately began to act, she stepped forward, reached out and grabbed Chu Lun's hand, pulled Chu Lun, and ran forward, quickly over the bushes, to a large haystack.

When she got to the big haystack, she pulled out a hole in the big haystack, hid herself and Chu Lun together, and pulled some grass to cover the bodies of the two people, and she was afraid that Chu Lun would make a sound and be discovered, so she once gently held his mouth.

But Chu Lun did not make any sound at all, but in his throat, intermittently, some "ah" sounds came out.

Soon after they had hidden, they heard the sound of light cars, stopping and moving towards them. At the same time, when the car stopped, he heard two people talking.

The conversation that Haven heard was only incomplete fragments, some words, and completely meaningless (at least at the time). But because these conversations were quite helpful in exposing the truth of the matter in the future, I will record them in detail later.

What Haven heard was the conversation between the three men.

(Three people!) One by car, the other two, is it convenient to catch the person who found it back? ）

Of course, the three men, Haven did not know their names and identities, and she hid well, hidden by hay, so that she could not see their faces. So I had to use A, B, C to represent them. Fortunately, the voices of these three people are very different, so it is easy to distinguish who is speaking.

The conversation between the three people That Haven overheard was as follows:

A: (Probably already said a lot, but What Haven heard was only the second half of the sentence)... It's not a good phenomenon.

B: I don't really understand what's going on, they seem to be getting smarter.

C: Impossible, impossible.

A: Of course not, maybe it's just an instinct.

B: It's not always a good phenomenon, if we can't find it —

A: No, two times before, nothing went wrong.

C: (muffled) Hmm, and said there was no mistake, almost made a big mess, the reporter —

A: (Abruptly) Hey, there seems to be someone in front of you!

(The sound of noisy footsteps, indicating that someone is running forward)

B: That's not a man, he's wrong.

C: I really doubt where their intelligence comes from.

B: (loud) They have no intelligence, no!

C: So how come there are constantly escaping?

B: It's just an instinct, I think.

(Footsteps came closer again, about A came back)

A: This time you may have escaped far away, so I will drive forward to see it.

B: The guards are also too careless.

(The sound of a light car driving away)

Haven heard the light car drive away, and immediately pulled Chu Lun again, left the haystack, and ran back.

Haven's approach is quite clever, because the light car comes from that direction, and she walks in that direction and will not meet the light car.

At that time, Haven did not understand what the conversation she had heard from the three men meant. But at least one thing, she understood, because in the dialogue she heard the words "escape", and Chu Lun escaped and would be caught.

Haven only understood that, and at the time, she only had to understand that. Knowing this, she pulled Chu Lun to escape the pursuit of the light car.

She and Chu Lun, about half a mile away, had left the area by the lake and into a forest.

In the process of running, Chu Lun never made a sound, and When Haiwen saw a tent in the forest that had been abandoned by the campers, and it collapsed in half, she pointed to the tent and said to Chu Lun, "Go in, hide in." ”

But after Chu Lun stood still, he just stood still, and did not react at all to Haven's words. Haven had to pull him again, and when he reached the tabernacle, he pressed Chu Lun's head and made him enter the tabernacle.

Haven herself didn't go in, she just commanded, "Hide, don't move, don't hear my voice, don't come out." ”

Although she instructed, Chu Lun, who had entered the tabernacle, still did not react at all.

Haven thought quickly, she thought of me first, I came to investigate Cullen's death, and now Cullen is still alive, although Haven feels that the situation is extremely strange, but must let me know first.

So she ran out of the woods again, got on the road, and finally there was a phone in the little coffee shop, so she called me. And after talking to me on the phone, according to Haven, it took fifteen minutes to see your car coming.

I was extremely shocked and said, "So, how long has it been since you hid Chu Lun in that tabernacle?" ”

Haven said, "Close to an hour." ”

As I drove the car quickly, I couldn't help but knock the steering wheel, and said, It's been almost an hour, those three people, riding a light car, are still looking for him everywhere, and the possibility of Chu Lun being discovered by them is too great. ”

Haven's face was already pale enough, and when he gave me a word, he was even more bloodless, "I... Doing it wrong? ”

My mind was very disordered, and I really didn't mean to blame Haven, because suddenly, I encountered such a strange and inexplicable thing, and Haven's approach was already very good.

Haven once said, "As soon as I saw the man look up, it was Chu Lun, and for a moment I thought I had seen a ghost." ”

In such a panicked situation, Haven also knew what else to blame her for hiding Cullen in a half-collapsed tent?

I had a thousand questions in my mind to ponder, but at this time I didn't want a single question, but just drove as fast as I could, and, a thousand times in my heart, I hoped that Chu Lun would listen to Haven and still hide in that tent.

As the car was about to reach the lake, I left the road and headed straight for the forest that Haven had spoken of, and along the way, the car was as upside down as a boat in the angry sea, and I did not care about it.

It wasn't until the road ahead that it was impossible to get the car through, so Haven and I got out of the car and ran forward.

I ran ahead and saw the tabernacle that Haven had spoken of, and at the same time, I saw that only twenty meters away, there was a light car parked, and two men were getting out of the car and walking towards the tabernacle.

When I saw this, I knew I couldn't get to the tent before them, so I ran and shouted, "Come, come camping too?" Welcome to attend. ”

I cried out, and then I slowed down, pretended to be indifferent, and ran behind me, and Haven, who was very clever, also like me, slowed down, so that the two of us looked like a man and a woman who were going to camp in the woods.

And the two men who were walking toward the tabernacle, and the man who was still in the light car, looked back at me together after I called, and I waved my hand at them, and approached them, while complaining loudly: "What kind of person has collapsed our tabernacle, it is really lacking in virtue." "In between words, I had come to the tabernacle, and I didn't know if Chu lun was still inside, and I turned my back to the tabernacle and stopped between the two men and the tabernacle.

The two men looked at me with a very puzzled look, and I deliberately looked at them and said, "You're not here to camp?" What are you looking for? ”

One of the two said, "Did you see a man dressed in white cloth?" ”

I shook my head and said, "No. Where are you guys? Is it from the hospital? ”

The two men did not answer, and at this time, they looked as if they were going to bypass me and enter the half-collapsed tabernacle. But Haven was one step ahead of them and entered the tabernacle, and at the same time, she cried out in the tabernacle, "Oops, all the food has been stolen, I really can't believe that the people here would do such a thing." ”

Haven walked out as he spoke, with a look of sadness.

Of course, Heven's look of sadness was for the three men, for she gave me a look as soon as she turned her head.

The look in Haven's eyes made me know that Cullen was in the tabernacle. As long as Chu Lun was still there, even if those three people came hard, I wouldn't be afraid of them, so I was more calm and said to Haven, "Then we have to replenish food, our car is broken again——""

At this point, I said to the two people, "Can you borrow your car and use it?" ”

The two men said busily, "No, we have an emergency." ”

As they spoke, they turned and walked away, and Haven and I glanced at each other and watched them get into the car and drive away before I said, "Is he inside?" ”

Haven said, "Yes, crouch like a rabbit." ”

I turned, lifted a corner of the tabernacle, and saw Chu Lun. He was really squatting like a rabbit.

I cried out, "Chu lun." ”

When I called this, Chu Lun looked up, his expression was extremely dazed, this kind of look, I am no stranger, the person who once bit me, is such a look, that is clearly an idiot's look, is It that Chu Lun also suffers from "intermittent dementia"?

Haven was behind me and said, "What's wrong with him?" ”

I inhaled, took a breath, and said, "I don't know, but you can see how pale his face is, as if he had been imprisoned for a long time without seeing the light of day." ”

Haven lost his voice, "If he goes missing and is imprisoned, it will be years, Chu Lun." ”

Haven cried, but Chu lun did not respond, and I held out my hand to Chu Lun, who was still crouching, until my hand touched his hand, and he shook my hand, and it was as if Chu Lun was a baby, and it was a newborn baby.

Reactions of newborn babies. That's it, when you reach out to him, he doesn't react at all, but when his hand touches something, he will naturally, with his own hand, grasp what he touches.

Chu Lun grabbed my hand, I pulled hard, and Chu Lun was pulled up by me. He was still clutching my hand, my hand was hanging down, and he was going to crouch down again, and it seemed that he had no control over the movements of his body.

I gently parted his fingers so that he was still crouching, turned around, and said, "I don't know what happened, but his situation is very strange." ”

Haven said, "Do you want to take him to the hospital?" ”

I almost jumped up and said, "He just escaped from the hospital." ”

Haven said busily, "I mean... Other hospitals. ”

My mind was disordered, and I thought about it for a while before I said, "Don't let those three people find out, I'll take him away when it's dark." ”

Haven nodded in agreement.

I prevented the three men from returning, and made some preparations with Haven, and set up the half-collapsed tent, and built a bunch of bonfires in the open space in front of the tent.

Sure enough, an hour later, the three men and the light car came again, and all three of them looked very anxious, and one of them came straight to him, saying, "Surely you have not seen a man in white?" ”

I pretended to be impatient and said, "If I have seen it, why should I lie to you?" ”

The man said: "This man is a neurotic patient, the seizure is very dangerous, if you find him, please notify the hospital immediately, you will get a bonus." ”

I said, "Since he is a dangerous person, how did you let him leave the hospital?" ”

The man said angrily, "Accident! Anything that is perfected, there will be accidents. ”

As he spoke, he kicked a stone away, turned around, and got into the car again and drove away. Looking at the anxious looks of these three people, it was certain that Chu Lun's escape from the hospital must have been an extremely serious matter for them, so I had to be more careful not to be discovered by them and send Chu Lun to a safe place. ”

After the light car drove away, we still did not go, waiting for dark, in the process of waiting, the dark was particularly slow, several times, heard some sounds, we thought it was the light car came back, but until dark, the three people did not appear again.

After dark, we helped Chu Lun out of the tent, and Chu Lun looked exactly like a wooden man, no matter what he said or did, he did not react, but if he pulled him forward, he could run fast. I had been observing him for hours, and I was sure that his body was very healthy, but his intellect seemed to have completely disappeared.

There is no doubt that Chu Lun escaped from that hospital, why did the hospital ban Chu Lun? Nature has quirks. I had always been sure that there was something strange in that hospital, but I couldn't find out why, and now that Chu Lun was there, I could officially deal with that hospital.

So, when I took Chu Lun out of the woods and walked to the car, I was extremely careful, ready to deal with accidents at any time.

That stretch of road, about twenty minutes, after dark, was surprisingly quiet all around, and we made our way to the car. As we were getting ready to get into the car, Haven said, "Where will he go?" I think he really needs a doctor. ”

I said, "Take him back to the hotel first." ”

Haven didn't seem very enthusiastic about my proposal, and I added, "I have a friend at the hotel, and he may have his opinion on what happened to Chu Lun." ”

Haven nodded, opened the car door, and I got into the driver's seat first, motioning for Haven to take Chulen and sit in the back, and as I did this, I half-turned, and as soon as I turned around, I froze.

In the back of the car, there were already three people sitting, one of whom was Dr. Du Liang.

The other, with a thin, sharp face and very gloomy eyes, I was no stranger to it, was to ask Tao Qiquan, who claimed to be Dr. Barnard's personal representative.

Another man, very tall, had opened the door at the back of the car and stepped out, and in his hand there was a gun with the muzzle aimed at Haven.

Dr. Du Liang sighed and said, "Being nosy is really very bad for your health." ”

I took a breath and said, "Well, the truth about the murderous doctor is about to come out." ”

Du Liang's appearance, as if he thought my words were very funny, turned his head sideways and said to Roark, "Listen, why did he call us?" Murderous doctor? What is this called? ”

Roark said, "What he means is that we kill people." ”

Du Liang said, "We killed people?" ”

Roark did not answer Duryan's simple question. I didn't understand why Roark didn't answer, and it wasn't until later that I learned that this question was really unanswerable for Roark.

At this moment, Haven first let out a cry of surprise, and then, being forced by the man with the gun, sat down next to me, and Chu Lun was carried by the man and squeezed into the back of the car.

I smiled and said to Haven, "Don't panic, I've been through this kind of thing a lot, and scenes like this are nothing more than pediatrics—it's a common saying, that's insignificant." ”

Hearing me say this, Du Liang, Roque, and the man all had a look of embarrassment and anger, and I turned my head, looked at them, and said, "I believe that you must have done some kind of investigation into me, and at least you should know what kind of person I am." ”

Du Liang didn't react, and Roque snorted. I added, "Don't talk about a pistol, tell you, I once sat on the warhead of a nuclear missile, and I was once frightened by a weapon that is more harmful than all the weapons on earth combined, so put away your pistol." ”

My last words were simply commanding, and the man with the gun hesitated involuntarily. Du Liang said busily: "Wesley, your past experience, we naturally know that you are a nosy person, too nosy." ”

I sneered, "But the so-called 'idle things' are some criminals who are really nosy when they commit crimes." ”

Du Liang was furious and said, "You can't call us criminals." ”

I sneered, "So, why do you call you?" savior? ”

Both Du Liang and Roque took a deep breath at the same time and said, "Yes, you can say that. ”

In that instant, I almost couldn't help but laugh out loud, I had seen all kinds of people, but I had never seen a person who called himself a "savior".

However, I did not laugh out loud, because I could see that Du Liang's expression was very serious. Moreover, I also know that Du Liang is not an ordinary person, he is a doctor. Nor was he an ordinary doctor.

I believe that Du Liang must have made a major breakthrough in medicine. This kind of breakthrough may be a big breakthrough that shakes the ancient and modern.

Therefore, I only stayed for a moment before I said, "Since this is the case, you can put down your pistol and tell me the truth, you are really a savior, and I will never be nosy." ”

Looking at Du Liang's expression, he was obviously a little moved by my words, he seemed to be thinking about something, and then, waking up from his contemplation, said: "This is just a matter of concept -"

He had only half a sentence before Roark snapped, "Don't tell him that he, like the rest of the people, cannot accept this idea." ”

Du Liang took a deep breath and did not say anything more. I had never had a crush on Roark, perhaps based on his overly gloomy face, but at the moment I didn't want to argue with him because I was anxious to find out the truth. And I felt that I was already on the verge of truth. As long as they are willing to speak out, all the mysteries can be solved.

In such a situation, I naturally have no need to argue with them more. Therefore, I said in a very sincere tone: "You are wrong, and I can accept new ideas." ”

Du Liang looked at Luo Ke, who still stubbornly shook his head, and Du Liang sighed and said, "Mr. Wei, we really haven't done anything." ”

I said, "I haven't done anything, for example, to get one-third of the interests of an Arab oil-producing country, that wouldn't have been a big deal, and what is the price of your healing of Tao Qiquan?" ”

Du Liang blushed and said, "The meaning of those money in the bank accounts of the Arabs, in the bank accounts of Tao Qiquan, and in our hands is very different." Money in our hands can become the driving force for human progress. ”

I froze for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were still engaged in a world revolution!" ”

Du Liang's face swelled even redder, "Where did you talk about it?" I mean, huge sums of money in our hands can be used as a fund for research. Bring new light to the future of mankind! ”

I sneered, "Great, great, what a savior!" So, you -- I don't know how many of you, you should all be great pioneers, great scientists? It's a pity that you, and Mr. Roark, I don't seem to have heard of your name or what your contributions to science have been. ”

I spoke in one breath, and the tone was extremely mocking, which made Derok's face more gloomy, and Du Liang's face even redder. Duryan, obviously irritated by my words, pointed at Roark. As if he knew what he was going to do, Roark immediately reached out and grabbed his fingers, but Du Liang still said the name of a person, "Have you heard of this person's name?" ”

As soon as I heard the name of the person that Du Liang said, I froze for a moment, and for a moment, I didn't know what he meant when he suddenly said this person's name.

The name of the man who came out of Du Liang's mouth, I naturally heard of, it was an extremely great scientist, this person, who had studied the division and reproduction of animal cells, had a very advanced study, and his theory of asexual reproduction had become its own system more than ten years ago, but at that time, his theory was put forward too early, the scientific community could not understand and accept his theory, and some conservative scholars had also attacked his theory, saying that it was absurd.

This man, as far as I can remember, disappeared about a decade or more ago during an operation to climb the Alps. What does Du Liang mean when he suddenly mentions this person?

For a moment, I froze and said, "This gentleman you mentioned is a great prophet of mankind. ”

Du Liang said, "You must know that he is right in front of you." ”

I froze for a moment, and Haven hadn't opened her mouth since getting into the car, when she said, "Don't listen to his nonsense." ”

Du Liang said, "It doesn't look like it, does it?" He did not climb the Alps at all, mountaineering was not his interest, exploring the mysteries of life was his interest. It happened that there was an avalanche at that time, and he was at the foot of the Alps again, so we claimed that he was missing in the climbing. ”

Roque frowned, "What else are you talking about?" ”

Du Liang's expression was even more excited, and he said: "In engaging in scientific work, there must be sacrifices, how much sacrifice have we made, does the world know?" ”

Roque said, "Any sacrifice we make is voluntary, so why should the world know?" ”

Du Liang said, "Yes, you don't have to let the world know, but you must not let someone like him frame us." ”

He said, pointing directly at me, and said, "You can see clearly, a person with an identity, a reputation, and a status can undergo plastic surgery, change his name, report his disappearance, abandon everything in the world, and what he is for is to explore new knowledge." ”

I took a breath and looked closely at Roark, and the thin, gloomy man in front of me had nothing in common with the great scientist whom Durham had spoken of—his photographs had been on the covers of many popular world magazines.

Of course, modern surgery can easily completely transform a person's appearance, but why would Roque do it? Why did he make such a sacrifice?

After staring at Roark for a long time, I could not help but admit that although his face was terrible, his eyes were full of extremely deep wisdom, which were not the eyes of ordinary people.

I took another breath and said, "If that's the case, then I'll take back what I just said." Dr. Durham, what was your original name? ”

Durragon paused and said another name.

This name made Hevin let out an exclamation, and it made my mouth open and close.

After a while, I said, "You... Weren't you kidnapped in the Swedish capital when you were collecting your Nobel Prize? ”

Du Liang said, "If a person wants to completely hide, he always has to find an excuse." ”

Haven's voice was a little sharp, "Your lovely twin daughters were only eight years old at the time, how could you bear to abandon them?" ”

Du Liang murmured, "They are now twenty years old!" Miss, in order to do a great job, there must always be sacrifices, as I have just said, there must always be sacrifices. "As the conversation between us became more and more heated, and the element of hostility became less and less, the man with the gun also put down his pistol. I couldn't contain my curiosity and said, "Then he—"

I pointed to the man with the gun, and Roque said, "He's one of my students." In our hospital, a cleaner, standing out, can make the world's famous doctors ashamed to die. ”

I couldn't help but say sincerely: "Yes, you have mastered the mystery of life, and in your hands, it seems that there is no such thing as an incurable disease?" ”

Du Liang shook his head and said, "You are wrong, we just have some kind of breakthrough, and this breakthrough only helps to a certain extent to prolong human life." ”

I waved my hand and said, "Why don't you make this breakthrough public, but hide it, even at the cost of changing your appearance and working with your head and tail hidden?" Both Durian and Roque's faces showed an extremely deep sorrow, a deep sorrow that no one could pretend. The two of them sighed in unison, and Du Liang said, "Open? At present, human concepts have not yet advanced to this extent. ”

I exclaimed, "If something is good for humanity, it will be acceptable in terms of concept." ”

Roque sneered, "Is Copernicus's doctrine good for the future of mankind?" He was burned to death. ”

I immediately said, "That was hundreds of years ago." ”

Roque said, "For hundreds of years, for human beings, there is no difference, and human concepts are just as ignorant and backward. Haven also participated in the debate, saying: "Not necessarily, human concepts are advancing rapidly, can you give an example of ignorance and backwardness?" ”

Roark laughed out loud, his laughter sounded a little arrogant, but it was full of confidence.

He said, "Abstinence in procreation is something that is beneficial to all mankind." But until now, how many people are still moaning about abortion and contraception. ”

Haven blushed and said, "That's mostly a religious point of view." ”

Roque said, "Yes, but when so many people have no spiritual sustenance and are subject to religious ideas, can the concept of human beings be said to be progress?" ”

I interjected: "Sooner or later this problem will be solved, and the idea of population control has become mainstream." The example you gave is not very convincing. ”

Roark waved his hand, and his expression gradually became excited, and he said, "So, what about eugenics?" How many people can accept the concept of eugenics? ”

I froze for a moment and looked at Haven, whose expression was a little confused. Of course, we know what eugenics means, but the so-called eugenics also includes many different views, different contents, and I don't know which one Roque refers to.

I asked, "You're talking about eugenics—"

Roark shouted: "There are too many people on the earth, and the proportion of inferior people is too large, and this proportion should be changed so that the excellent people have a better chance of survival." ”

I frowned and said, "What then?" Unfold the holocaust and kill all the people you call your non-good. ”

Roque sneered, "You say something like that proves that you have nothing to know about ecology." As a result of the continuous expansion of the population, the Massacre will occur naturally, and all kinds of natural and man-made disasters will wipe out the population on a large scale, which is a magical natural stabilizing force. But this balancing process is unfair. Hevin and I looked at him and listened as he went on.

Roque added: "For example, a large-scale war is a process of population reduction, in which people, whether wise or foolish, suffer at the same time, a bomb falls, how many good people and ignorant people die together, and the progress of mankind is slowed down by an unknown amount. ”

I had heard many new theories, but it was the first time I had heard a statement like Roark's, and my mood was better than shock than shock. I lost my voice and said, "That... Are you doing the work of eliminating so-called fools? ”

When I said this, I couldn't even stop the trembling in my voice. For in Roark's words, I can hear that in his mind, at least eighty percent of the people on earth are what he calls "fools" and "inferiors."

Roark smiled bitterly and said, "It really should be done." But we are still the people of this era, and no matter how new our ideas are, sometimes it is difficult to break through the overall concept. For example, the idea that killing is cruel makes it difficult to transform it into killing as compassion. ”

Haven murmured, "Killing and mercy are linked, and this is the first time I've heard it." ”

Luo Ke said, "In fact, many people understand in their hearts that it is extremely beneficial to the rest of the people who use painless methods to reduce a large number of people who do not know what to do while living, and whose life process is not different from insects and plants, but since everyone thinks that everyone, even if his life process is like an insect, he also has the right to survive, this kind of action is naturally impossible to carry out, although the clear-eyed people can see that the result of this is that all mankind's jade is burned and ended up together." ”

Haven reached out and drew a "ten" and said, "Thank God." ”

I frowned, and I naturally couldn't accept Roark's idea, but I didn't deny that there was something to ponder about, it was too wide for me to argue with him.

I said, "So, what are you doing?" ”

Roque said: "We are committed to saving the lives of the best people as much as possible. ”

I snorted and said, "Your so-called 'excellent person', the correct title, should be a successful person, like Tao Qiquan, like General Qiluo, like Xin Yanshi, like Prince Apant——"

Luo Ke said: "Anyone who is successful must be an excellent person, and all excellent people must also be successful, the two are two and one, one and two things, there is no need to chew more words." ”

I can't refute Roark's claim. As soon as I thought about it, I saw Chu Lun sitting between Roark and the man, as if he had never listened to a word of our fierce argument, and his expression was still so dazed, it seemed to be no different from an idiot.

I pointed to Chu Lun and said, "In my opinion, Chu Lun is a very good person, in your minds, he may be an inferior person, so you imprisoned him for six years, making him crazy?" ”

Du Liang and Luo Ke were originally talking endlessly as soon as they opened their mouths, and it seemed that there was no problem that could be difficult for them to overcome. But as soon as I mentioned Chu Lun, the two of them invariably tightened their mouths together and stopped making a sound.

I pressed in and said, "If even he can only be regarded as a lowly person, then how many people will be left on the earth after eliminating the inferior people?" ten thousand? eight thousand? ”

Du Liang said, "We don't think he's not good. ”

I said, "So, why is he being treated like this?" ”

Du Liang reached out and stroked his face, "His business was an accident, it was really a giant outside." ”

I pressed in again and said, "What accident?" I don't think it was an accident, it was one of your crimes. ”

Roark said angrily, "You're such a donkey." ”

I said, "Scolding people is a donkey, and it doesn't solve the problem, as long as I make Chu Lun's affairs public to society, it will be difficult for you to continue any work." ”

Du Liang was shocked and angry, and said, "You won't do this." ”

I said with certainty, "I will." ”

Du Liang said, "What good is that for you?" ”

I pretended to be fierce and said, "Sometimes when I do things, I don't have to be good for myself, and it is good to harm others and harm myself." At the very least, I can vent my anger on my friends. ”

The reason why I have to pretend to be fierce is because I have discovered that although Duryan and Roque have used improper means against me, such as making me unconscious for twelve days under anesthesia, and have just pointed a gun at me, they are obviously not skilled in this kind of thing.

That is to say, they are essentially scientists, intellectuals, and easy people to deal with, and if I force them in this way, it is possible for them to reveal the truth of the facts. Sure enough, my intimidation seemed to be working. Both Roque and Duryan were furious, but they couldn't deal with me at all. After a while, Du Liangcai said, "Chu Lun is already dead." ”

I shook Havin sharply, Chu Lun was dead, what is this? Chu Lun was obviously sitting in the car. Obviously his demeanor was different, but he was by no means a dead man, there was no doubt about it.

Before I could react to Du Liang's words, Du Liang added, "He was killed in an accident. ”

I pointed at Chu Lun and opened my mouth wide, still unable to speak.

In fact, in that case, I don't have to say anything, and the intention is very obvious: Chu Lun is obviously here, how do you say that he lost his life in an accident? Isn't that?

Du Liang and Roque looked at each other, and Du Liang threw an inquiring look at Roque, who nodded slowly. Du Liang said, "This is not a good place to talk about it in detail, let's go to the hospital and talk about it, okay?" ”

I wanted to reject his suggestion, but on second thought, even if I went to the hospital, they wouldn't be able to play any tricks, so I said, "Well, I hope that when I get to the hospital, there will be further specific instructions." ”

Roque and Duryan said nothing more, and I drove off in the direction of the hospital, and when I reached the hospital door, I tried to slow down, but the big iron gate of the wall opened automatically.

I saw this situation, snorted, and Du Liang said, "We have enough money, so all the equipment here is far beyond the scope of what you can imagine." ”

As I drove straight in, I said, "Then your imagination for me is inevitably underestimated." ”

Du Liang wanted to answer my words, but Roque touched him and said, "We have too much to say in a moment, why argue about such a trivial matter now?" Let him see for himself. ”

Du Liang said nothing more, the car was already in front of the hospital building, stopped, a man in white clothes, came out of the hospital, opened the car door, the man with the gun, holding Chu Lun out of the car, Chu Lun did not resist at all.

I cried out and said, "Wait a minute, the things we're going to talk about are about him, and I want him to be there." ”

Roque said, "He's there, it doesn't make any sense." ”

I said, "No, I want him to be there." ”

Roque said angrily, "I can't completely listen to you, because you don't understand anything." If you really want to insist, then forget it. ”

I squinted my eyes and said, "You're not afraid I'm going to reveal the secret?" ”

Roque said coldly, "We can move a place, and I will welcome us very well when I look at Prince Apant's territory." ”

His attitude hardened, and I had no choice but to snort, a look of sadness, and get out of the car to see them take Chu Lun away.

Haven also got out of the car, and another person came out of the hospital, Du Liang said: "Miss Haven, you don't need to participate in this matter, really, after Mr. Wei knows what it is, if he can let you know it, it will definitely tell you." ”

Haven quickly protested, "No, Chu Lun is my friend, not to mention that I found him again." ”

Du Liang's expression was very sincere, and he said, "Miss, I will not harm you, I am afraid that some facts will make your future life very unpleasant, so I advised you to leave-" The person he pointed out, "He will send you back." ”

Haven couldn't make up his mind and looked at me. I thought to myself, if anything had changed, and Haven wasn't around, it would be much more convenient for me not to have to take care of her. Besides, after the fact, it is up to me to tell her all the facts, and now it is better to let Haven go.

I made up my mind and said to Haven, "Rest assured, I'll tell you everything afterwards." ”

Haven accepted my offer, and she hesitated slightly, and said, "Chu Lun seems to be ill, please do their best." ”

I said, "Rest assured, I'm here for him." ”

Haven let out a low sigh, and the man who had come out of the hospital walked away to a car and got into the car together.

I watched her leave before turning around and walking into the hospital with Durian and Roark, and everything about the hospital still didn't seem to be anything unusual, I mean, the hospital still seemed to be a hospital. Until I walked into the reception room, where I had last met Du Liang, there was still nothing unusual.

However, when Du Liang reached out and pressed a button that looked like a light button, a secret door opened, and the three of us entered the secret door together, I couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

A small space inside the secret door, apparently a lift, was falling down, and I estimated, it had descended by about thirty meters or so. Judging from the height of the elevator's descent, there is another world under the entire hospital.

By the time the elevator door opened, we could already see an extremely ornately furnished and comfortable room, a large living room like a living room, with three sets of extremely comfortable sofas, and on the wall facing it, there was a large painting of Matisse's work, and the forced golden tone was suffocating.

Du Liang had said that they had enough money, and there was no doubt about this from the point of view of this room alone.

In the room, five people were already there, and as soon as we got out of the elevator, all five of them politely stood up and greeted me. Du Liang introduced them to me one by one.

The names that Du Liang said meant nothing to me. But I can know that these five people are here, waiting to meet me, and their original names will definitely make me open my mouth and not say what they came later, but since Du Liang did not introduce their original names, I was naturally embarrassed to ask.

Before I could sit down, a half-bald middle-aged man opened a bottle of wine, and the wine was overflowing, and he poured wine for each of them, and I took the wine glass and shook it, and Du Liang said, "Mr. Wesley is a very special person, and his actions pose a threat to our cause——""

I laughed and said, "Such an introduction is too unfriendly." ”

Du Liang said, "I'm sorry, this is the truth, the spirit of science lies in accepting the facts." ”

I shrugged and said nothing more. Du Liang added, "Of course, he can't interrupt our work." He threatened to expose us and we could 'disappear' again. The problem is that this man has had many strange experiences, and our work needs to be known to the world—at least to someone like him—that's why we invited him to come. He may still be smug, thinking that his threats had worked. ”

Du Liang's words made me more and more embarrassed, and I had to raise my voice, "Well, I said about Qiu Lun's accidental death." ”

The reason why I brought up the matter of Cullen's "accidental death" is because of this incident, I expect him to be unable to justify himself, or let him be so proud.

Du Liang took a sip of wine, sighed, and said, "Mr. Chu Lun was near the hospital and saw some... The phenomenon, if he thought it was not done, would be fine, but he came to investigate. ”

The first time Chu Lun came to the hospital, the situation was similar to the first time I came, Dr. Du Liang received him, Qiu Lun carefully observed, could not see anything, could not lead away.

Of course, Chu Lun refused to count on this, and the second time he came again, the same as mine, climbed the wall.

However, he was only a journalist, and although he was still a quick move, he was not like me, who was accustomed to an adventurous life, and the walls of the hospital were too high.

When he climbed up the wall and tried to jump down, one did not pay attention, and his whole body fell from the wall. Falling from such a height, of course, was inevitably injured, and would not have been killed, and what was worse was that his head, just as it fell, hit a cement bulge.

Unfortunately, of course, Chu Lun was almost instantly killed.

Du Liang solemnly talked about the result of Cullen's "accidental death", and after I listened to it, I laughed and said, "What kind of lie is this?" Even if I had never seen a living Chu lun, I would not have believed such nonsense. ”

Du Liang continued, "His body, we buried it in the forest. ”

I shuddered, the skeleton, the police proved to be Chu Lun's, then, Chu Lun is already dead? I stood up and sat down again. A man with a thick beard said, "Start with him from the beginning, or he won't understand." ”

For a moment, all the people were quiet and looked at each other, and I wanted to laugh at them a few times, but I put up with it. Because the whole atmosphere is not suitable for ridicule. These people are very serious, and there is obviously a very important secret between them, and their current situation is obviously deciding whether to reveal this secret to me. This secret must be extremely important to them, because the looks of each of them are so serious and solemn that I have been influenced by them and can no longer make any nonsense.

The first to break the silence was still the bearded man, who said, "Well, didn't we already decide to reveal everything to him?" ”

A thin and dry old man smiled bitterly and said, "A decision is a decision, but when it comes time to do it, it is another matter." Remember how much we spent to do our work, how much effort we put into keeping our secrets. ”

The other short man sighed and said, "Gordon, it's up to you to say yes to him." ”

After the thin man sighed and said those two words, there was a helpless low sigh in the audience, and everyone's expression became very dignified and beautiful.

The bearded man (who was known as Gordon, which was naturally his name) sighed again, still silent.

At this time, I felt that I should express some attitude, and I put away my hostile look and dismissive attitude, not to pretend, but to really feel that everyone here must have a pain that they could not say, so they united and worked together to keep such a secret.

I stood up straight and said, "Guys, I'm not actually a nosy person, but I like to find out what I don't understand." And, in this hospital, I felt the smell of crime. I can assure you that if your secret has nothing to do with the cause of crime, then this secret, I will only tell one person, she is my wife Bai Su, and this secret will never be passed from our mouths to the ears of a third person, Bai Su, my wife, between me and her, there is really no secret to speak of, so I want to tell her. ”

My words were spoken very sincerely, and after I finished speaking, although I did not hear an answer, I could feel that my words had been accepted by those people.

The silence remained for a moment, during which Du Liang, Luo Ke, and Gordon and several others exchanged glances again, and Du Liang said in a deep voice: "The so-called crime, not committing a crime, is really no standard." ”

I shook my head sharply, and just when I wanted to refute what he said, Du Liang immediately continued, "That's just a matter of concept." ”

I snorted and said, "Don't take the problem too far, whether you commit a crime or not, there are only ordinary moral standards." ”

Roque's voice sounded rather sharp—I knew he must be an important figure in the group, because Tao Qiquan had come here from his horse—and his expression seemed a little excited, saying, "Of course it is a matter of concept, Copernicus was burned to death, that is, the concept at that time, that his statement was a heresy, and it could not be allowed to circulate in the world." ”

I was a little angry and said, "But Copernicus, he is such a great man, who among you can compare with him?" What did you find? What was created? Do you think you're on the cutting edge of the times? ”

Gordon said in a loud voice: "The spirit of Copernicus is a model that all scientists should follow, and our achievements may not be as great as his, but we act with a new concept." ”

Gordon said aloud: "Walking ahead of the times, we don't have to be arrogant about this." Gordon's tone was so great that I stared at him and was about to say a few more words, but he took a deep breath and said, "Well, I'm starting, and if I have something wrong, you can point it out at any time, and this matter is something that we all tell an outsider who doesn't belong to us at all, and I didn't say it alone." ”

Several people immediately agreed loudly, and the rest of them nodded their heads.

Gordon took another breath before he said, "Where do you start?" Of course, let's start with ourselves. Mr. Wei, here, all the people you can see are not our true faces——"

I interjected, "Yes, you all had cosmetic surgery. ”

Gordon said: "The purpose of the thorough plastic surgery is that after the plastic surgery, even the people closest to us can't recognize us, and we even narrowed the vocal cords to make a sound completely different from before, so some of us between us sound a little strange." ”

Yes, Roark's voice is very sharp, these people, painstakingly lonely, for what?

Gordon added: "We are all scientists, some are doctors, some are biologists, some are geneticists, some are biochemists, before we have plastic surgery, in the scientific community, we can be said to be the top figures." ”

I couldn't help but ask, "So what is the purpose of your facelift?" ”

Gordon actually hit a haha and said, "Of course, so that people can't recognize us." ”

I said, "Then what's the purpose?" ”

Gordon fell silent for a moment and said, "The purpose is what we are doing, which we know is beneficial to all mankind, and it is an earth-shattering breakthrough that can change the civilization of the entire human race." However, this matter cannot be accepted by the concept of human beings at this stage. ”

I shook my head and said, "Say it, something." ”

Gordon said, "Of course you will say it, but you will understand it from the beginning." ”

I posed in a more comfortable pose, ready to listen to his narration.

Gordon glanced at Roark and Duryan and said, "Things should start that day, the day you two are late, aren't they?" ”

Durian and Roark nodded in agreement.

Gordon added, "Roark and Duryan—they certainly didn't have that name at the time, they and I were colleagues at the university, and then we both left the university one after another to work at a research institute funded by the foundation." ”

Since I knew the original names of Duryan and Roque, I also knew what institute it was. However, it does not make much sense to write the name of the institute today, because their activities only start from the institute.

But it is certain that he said that if he were not a first-class scientist, he would never have been hired as an academician by that institute.

Gordon said to start with being late that day, let's start with being late that day.

The corridors of the institute were spacious and bright, with many people coming and going, and the beautiful blonde, Gina, whose title was a research assistant, looked around in the corridor.

The people who saw her and greeted her all stopped and asked, "Gina, who are you looking for?" ”

Gina asked, "Did you see Dr. Durham?" Or Dr. Roark? Dr. Gordon was looking for them and had already made several phone calls to my office. ”

The people who were asked shook their heads, and Gina still looked anxiously at the door until she saw Durham and Roque walking through the doorway together, and she hurried over to them, saying, "The two have finally come, and if you don't come again, Dr. Gordon will force me to die." ”

Luo Ke and Du Liang looked at each other, and Du Liang laughed and said, "It must be that he thought he had made some new discovery." ”

Gina lowered her voice and said, "Maybe he really made a discovery, today he arrived at the laboratory early in the morning, as soon as he entered, I heard him screaming strangely, and then he asked me to call you, and he was talking to me, while talking, he was even dancing." ”

Du Liang laughed and said, "Dance, Gordon dance?" I really have to go and see it. ”

The two men talked as they walked to the elevator, and the pace of the two was so fast and large that Miss Gina in a narrow skirt had to move faster to catch up with them, and Miss Gina's fast step attracted the strange eyes of many men who passed by.

Got into the lift and went to the third floor.

The scale of the institute is very large, and the entire sixty-three-storey building belongs to this institute. Recently, some people have even studied why the whirlpool caused by the water flowing out after the water plug of the bathtub is pulled up, why the direction of the eastern and western hemispheres will be different.

The vast majority of these research topics are, at first glance, of no practical value. But many, many inventions, many, many new scientific achievements, are brought together from the successful results of small studies that, little by little, seem insignificant.

On the third floor, it was the forbidden place of Roque, Duryan, and Gordon, and in fact, the research rooms and laboratories on each floor were all the private places of the owners of these laboratories, and no one, not even the chairman of the foundation that presided over the institute, could enter at will without the permission of the master. Each researcher maintains his or her own "territory."

As soon as the elevator came out, Gordon shouted in a straight voice: "You are finally here, come, show you something, you are late." ”

Roark and Duryan laughed, and it was funny to see Gordon standing at the door of his own lab, half-pushing the door, like they couldn't wait for the two of them, and were afraid that others would crash into it. At this time, Gina also stepped out of the elevator.

As soon as he saw Gina coming to the lab, Gordon shouted again, "Miss Gina, please go back to your office." ”

Gina is also used to the fact that scientists always give people a mysterious feeling. So she didn't say anything, turned and walked in the other direction, and Roque and Duryan, walking into the lab, Wentden closed the door and pointed to an electron microscope, looking nervous and excited, and even opened his mouth wide, unable to speak again.

As soon as they saw this, Du Liang and Luo Ke also began to speed up their pace, and when they came to the microscope together, they even pushed each other, like children competing to see something new.

Du Liang's size was relatively large, he suddenly pushed away the thin Roark, put his eyes together, he only looked at it for a few seconds, then laughed loudly, turned around, Roark was busy looking over, and when he looked at it, he couldn't help but laugh, laughing, while pointing at Gordon, as if Gordon had done something stupid again.

Goden immediately blushed and roared, "Look clearly! ”

Du Liang stopped laughing, shook his head, and said, "See clearly, as soon as a second-year college student looks at it, he can clearly see what it is." ”

Gordon yelled again, "Okay, what's that?" ”

Roark saw that Gordon's expression was extremely serious, and he also became serious, stopped laughing, and said, "That is the earliest form of the ridge thruster in the mother's womb, the time is about fifteen days after the egg is fertilized, the cells have begun to divide and form, my answer is correct?" ”

Gordon came over and waved his hand, looking as if he wanted to hit Roark, and his voice was still loud, and said, "Well, then, tell me what a vertebrate it is." ”

Luo Ke and Du Liang froze for a while, and Du Liang said, "Didn't you mean to embarrass people?" Everyone knows that in the first few days, almost all vertebrates were in the same form, a camel and a frog, no difference. ”

Roark said, "Of course it's a frog." He looked at Gordon and said, "Since your first asexual breeding frog has been buzzing for a while, it has been almost three years now, how can you still enjoy it?" You've already raised dozens of asexual breeding frogs! ”

Gordon blushed and said, "Frog, your father is the frog." ”

Both Roark and Duryan frowned, Gordon's temper was not good, but it would never hurt anyone, they knew that there must be something in the words they said that made Gordon really sad.

They were silent for a moment before they said, "Well, we don't know what it is, please tell us." ”

Gordon took a deep breath, his expression became extremely serious, and he lowered his voice, "That's me." ”

Duryan and Roark had already thought of many answers quickly when they asked Gordon, but even if they thought of ten thousand answers, they would never have imagined that the answer would be like this.

The two of them froze for a moment and said, "What is 'that's me'?" ”

Gordon looked very angry, but there was also a kind of almost mischievous treachery, he said: "That's me, that is, that's me, you see, it's me!" ”

Du Liang shook first and took a step back. Roark's face also turned pale, and the two of them opened their mouths at the same time, but they couldn't make any sound.

The mischievous look on Gordon's face was even worse, and he approached The shocked Andrian and Roark, lowered his voice, and said, "Got it?" I, that's me. ”

Du Liang and Roque both stepped back as if they had seen a demon, and Du Liang cried out, "No, you can't do this." ”

Roark's voice trembled even more violently, and he cried, "Heavens. you...... Know what you're doing? ”

Gordon stretched out his hands and pressed them both on their shoulders, "Naturally I know what I'm doing, and it's not as simple as I took a frog's cell and bred a frog by asexual reproduction." I've used this method to breed a lot of frogs, haven't I? Alas, why are you so surprised? ”

Durian and Roque were not only surprised, but also in a cold sweat, sweat constantly oozing from the corners of their foreheads.

Gordon laughed and said, "Moreover, the process of breeding an adult frog by using the asexual breeding method is getting faster and faster, isn't it?" In the beginning, it took a few months, and later, in just a few days, a frog came out, didn't it? ”

Du Liang cried out and said, "Don't keep asking if it is, the frog is a frog, you are you." ”

Gordon's expression, extremely aggressive, said, "What am I?" ”

Du Liang and Roque cried out and said, "You are human." ”

Gordon cried out steeply, "What is man?" ”

Du Liang froze for a moment, he was obviously a little discouraged, and his voice was not so loud, he said: "People, just people." ”

But Gordon refused to let go of him, pointing his finger directly at the tip of his nose, "You are a biologist, tell me, use your knowledge to tell me, what is man?" Du Liang took a deep breath, his face was whiter, but he had enough composure to slowly say what he was going to say, instead of calling it out, he said, "Man, is a creature-"

He still wanted to say it, but Gordon waved his hand and rudely interrupted him, saying, "By the way, man is a creature, frog is a creature, fish is a creature, orchid is a creature, as long as it is a creature, we can use our knowledge to cultivate it by asexual reproduction." ”

Du Liang let out a groan and said, "But people are always human, unlike frogs." ”

Gordon said: "Of course, it is different, so in the cultivation, it is also much more difficult and complicated. ”

Du Liang shook his hands and said, "I don't mean that, I mean, unlike frogs, people have thoughts and souls." ”

Roque said, "Soul aside, people have thoughts." ”

Gordon laughed recklessly and said, "Regarding the human mind, the soul, that is the matter of philosophers and religious people, we are biologists, that has nothing to do with us, in our opinion, man is only a kind of living thing, and other creatures, only physiologically different." ”

Roark also let out a groan, "Then you can't always breed a person using the asexual breeding method." Gordon said, "I can already be sure that it will grow up like a frog." ”

When Gordon said this, the fierce conversation between the three of them stopped for a while, and Gordon looked at Duryan and Roark, and the two also looked directly at him.

Perhaps because of the conversation just now, it was so thrilling, all three of them involuntarily gasped for breath, and after a while, Du Liangcai said, "If... Nurturing succeeded, that... Man, how. ”

Gordon straightened his chest and stood in front of both of them in a modeling pose, and both Durian and Roque pointed at him in unison, "You mean and... Are you the same? ”

Gordon's expression, with a kind of extreme satisfaction after success, said, "Yes, just like me." ”

Roark asked again, "Exactly the same?" ”

Gordon said: "Exactly the same, according to past successful examples, individuals bred by asexual reproduction are exactly the same as the mother of the cells taken. ”

Du Liang's appearance, as if he could not support it, he took a few steps back, sat down on a sofa, and then, he involuntarily gasped: "So, when this..." He pointed to the microscope, "After successful cultivation, we will have two Gordons?" ”

Gordon frowned, he seemed to have some degree of trouble with this question, so he did not answer it immediately.

Du Liang cried out and said, "Answer me." ”

Gordon paused for a moment before he said, "What I just said is exactly the same thing, in terms of appearance and physiological organization, completely identical, but in terms of psychology, I mean intellectually and mentally I don't know what will happen." The genetic traits of various organisms are different, and insects can completely inherit the lifestyle of the previous generation, which is not necessarily the case with ridge pushers. What is the situation of man in this regard, because what I am doing now is the first time in human history, so I do not know the result. ”

Duryan and Roque glanced at each other, and then the two of them opened their mouths together and called Gordon's name. After shouting, the two stopped together again.

Gordon said, "What?" Don't you two congratulate me? I had the biggest breakthrough in the exploration of life in human history. ”

Du Liang swallowed a mouthful and said, "Congratulations, Gordon." ”

Roark muttered the same thing. Gordon said excitedly, "You see, how can I publish my achievements." ”

Durian and Roark sighed together, and Roark said, "Gordon, have you ever thought of a question?" ”

Gordon's eyes widened, obviously not knowing what he meant by that.

Roark went on to say, "Your success, a new person, will appear in this world. ”

Gordon said, "What's wrong with that?" ”

Roark's breathing was a little short, "What is this person's identity?" How does he live? What are his social relations? What is the social concept of human beings today, what is the view of this matter? What is the process of impact on religious ideas about the appearance of this person? Have you ever wondered about many of these questions? ”

Gordon paused for half a moment and said, "Honestly, I've thought about it all." ”

Du Liang said, "Then your result is——""

Gordon said: "My conclusion is that the existence of those problems is all the fault of others, not my fault." His expression began to be a little excited, and his voice also improved a lot, "A person lives in society, there are all kinds of constraints, others pay attention to this person's history, background, and even the government also wants this person's information, with various records, a person's identity." The status is fixed, this is the wrong way of life, not my fault. ”

Du Liang said, "However, we all live in this way, don't we?" ”

Gordon waved his hand vigorously, "Then a breakthrough is needed, and the way of life of human beings is originally changing in the process of continuous breakthroughs." After the success of my experiment, mankind will have to become accustomed to accepting a sudden man, and in the future, it can be expected that all new life will appear in this form, and the existing methods of reproduction will be eliminated. ”

Both Durian and Roque were silent.

Gordon roared and said, "What's wrong? I don't believe that the two of you, as scientists, will not be able to accept such a new idea. ”

Du Liang glanced at Roque again, a little sad, and said, "It is precisely because we can accept it that we are worried." ”

Gordon let out a "Ha" and said, "What are you worried about?" ”

Du Liang took a deep breath and said, "From now on, we are separated from modern humans, there are only three of us, if you think about it, only the three of us, and on the one hand, all of human beings." ”

Gordon clenched his fists and said, "Not only, there must be more than just the three of us, there must be more than that." ”２８

I sat, the couch soft and comfortable, but I felt stiff all over my body. Listening to Roark talk about how things began, I already had a preliminary understanding of the whole thing.

Gordon, who was in the laboratory, used the asexual breeding method to breed people.

The shock in my heart was indescribable, a man, inexplicably born. He was undoubtedly a man, but where did he come from? How to survive in this society, and what about his growth process? All these questions are unanswered.

I stayed for a long time before I said, "So, how many people have embraced this new idea so far?" ”

Gordon took a breath and said, "Not much, except for all the people here, there are most of the staff of the hospital." ”

I waved my hand, and I waved it aimlessly, just to calm my confused mind a little, and I said, "That man... That person... When Mr. Duryan and Mr. Roque saw it. People who are still only in the early stages of embryogenesis, and later ... Did it come out? ”

Gordon said, "No, he died after ten days." ”

When I listened, I was greatly relieved, but Goden immediately said, "I quickly found out the reason for the failure, I was too careful to increase the growth rate, in fact, under the special cultivation method, the growth rate can be increased very fast." ”

I swallowed a mouthful of water and said, "How fast is it?" ”

Gordon said: "The rate of cell division and growth is thirty times faster than in the mother's womb. ”

I bounced up, and then, sitting down on the couch again, said, "So, you cultivate a... Man's time is..."

Gordon said: "In the mother's womb, from the beginning of the cell division of the fertilized egg, to the time a baby leaves the mother is two hundred and seventy days to two hundred and ninety days, I am in the laboratory, as long as nine to ten days, I can achieve this goal." ”

My breathing was short, and I said, "Ten days, you can... There is a baby. ”

Gordon said, "Ten days." ”

My voice didn't sound like my own, and I asked, "So... What about later? ”

Gordon said, "From now on, every year, the growth rate will be reduced by half." You know. Any number, if it is reduced by half, will never end, but later the difference between one and one point zero and five is not perceived. ”

My mind was extremely confused, and I said, "I don't understand a bit. ”

Gordon said, "In the first year, this asexual breeder can grow into a fifteen-year-old child, the second year, he is twenty-two and a half years old, he is already a full adult, the third year, he is twenty-six, the fourth year, he is twenty-seven, the fifth year, he is less than twenty-eight years old, and after that, he is almost like ordinary people, and it is not easy to perceive." ”

I finally understood that the time it takes to breed an asexual breeder is about five to six years.

I stayed for a long time before I asked, "So, after five years, this man... I can call it... This person... humanness? ”

To my question, there was silence in the living room, and no one answered.

Originally, I felt that if I called such a person cultivated by the laboratory "human", it would be a little inappropriate, so I would ask questions. And when I asked the question and couldn't get an answer, I began to feel the seriousness of the problem.

I took a deep breath and said, "What's wrong?" What's wrong with this person? ”

After another moment of silence, Roque said, "Then you have to listen and listen to the development of the future." ”

I smiled bitterly and said, "Well, I'm ready to listen to the most unacceptable narrative, and I hope you can say it in as much detail as possible." ”

Roque said, "Of course, we have made up our minds to tell you everything about, where did we just talk about?" ”

I said, "Gordon said there must be more than three people who can accept new ideas, and there will be many-"

At this point, I paused for a moment and then said, "Gordon has just said that he failed that time, so there is no need to say it again." ”

Roark nodded, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and slowly spewed out the smoke.

The embryo died ten days later, much to Theodore's dismay, but he was not discouraged at all and continued to do his experiments in his laboratory. According to his own words, it was the easiest experiment to do, he took cells from his own body to grow, it was the easiest thing, any piece of epidermis, there are countless cells.

Experimenting and experimenting, Gordon rarely appeared on other occasions, and only Duryan and Roque knew what he was doing. Once, Gordon proposed to take the cells of both of them for experiments, and even the two of them did not know why, so they refused.

In the experiment, Gordon used various cells in his own body, and it was not until he took the blood cells that he broke through the barrier of death in the embryonic stage, and Gordon also found a way to accelerate the cultivation speed and achieve better results.

A baby was born!

On that day, Gordon, Roque and Duryan gathered in Gordon's laboratory. Gordon's hands held the baby, and Duryan and Roque looked at him without blinking.

The baby's eyebrows, with the silhouette of a cool Shaw Gordon, the three of them did not speak, and after a long time, Du Liang said, "Heavens! When he grows up, he will be exactly like you. Gordon said, "Of course he will, he is simply a continuation of my life." ”

Roark's voice was very dry, "What will happen to his growth?" Like ordinary people? ”

Gordon said, "It's not the same, it's much faster, I haven't figured out the law yet, his cell division rate is at least fifteen times that of ordinary people, and he also needs fifteen times more nourishment, but no matter what, we will take care of him and make him grow up, right?" ”

Roque and Duryan nodded and said, "No matter how he grows up, a baby, has proven your success, how are you going to publish?" ”

Gordon gently lowered the baby, looked hesitant, and said, "I don't want to publish it." ”

Roark cried, "Why? ”

Gordon smiled bitterly, "As you said, this is a new fact that is completely contrary to today's human concepts, just like when all mankind thought that the earth was the center of the universe, someone suddenly proposed that the earth revolves around the sun." ”

Du Liang said, "You... Afraid of being burned to death? ”

Gordon smiled bitterly and said, "It's not enough to burn to death, but what do you think will happen to me by the law based on today's human concepts?" ”

Roque said, "You are creating life, not destroying life, and the law will not treat you like that." ”

Gordon pointed to the baby and said, "This... Is it a life? Or is it just a finished product in the lab? ”

Both Roque and Duryan were silent.

Gordon added, "Do I have the right to use him for further experiments, or can I kill him when necessary?" Does he have the right to live like us, or is this right in my hands? If, in the course of the experiment, he dies, am I guilty of murder? Friends, can you answer these questions in the affirmative? ”

Roque and Duryan were stunned.

Babies look healthy and cute, and there is no difference between babies that originate in the mother's body.

Because of this, Gordon's questions are completely unanswerable.

Gordon sighed: "Historically, there have been too many examples of scientific developments subject to various humanistic norms. I don't want to get involved in this vortex of boredom, so—"

At this point, he paused for a moment before saying, "Therefore, I have decided to proceed in secret and not to publish the results of my research." ”

Both Duryan and Roark didn't make a sound, and Gordon asked, "What, you think I'm wrong to do this?" ”

Du Liang frowned and said slowly, "You are right, but how long can the secret last?" ”

Gordon said, "It can last as long as it can, and maybe, it doesn't have to be maintained at all." ”

Roark was startled and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Gordon pointed to the baby and said, "If in a few days, the baby dies, then as if this didn't happen, I can continue the experiment and continue to explore." ”

Babies bred in the laboratory using asexual reproduction do not die and develop at a very rapid rate.

When Roque and Du Liang saw the child for the second time, the child could already walk and make sounds, and seemed to be robust and lively, exactly like a normal child.

At that meeting, gordon had summoned it, and in addition to Duryan and Roque, there were four more people, and those four people did not need To be introduced by Gordon, they also recognized. One of the four, also a fellow at the institute, was a highly qualified psychologist, and the other three, though they had not met before, were all extremely brilliant biologists, geneticists, and doctors. There were seven people in all, looking at the child. It was only three months before the last party, and the child appeared to be four or five years old. When the seven adults looked at the child with a very serious look, the child's eyes were wide open and his eyes were rolling, as if he were looking at the seven adults with great interest. These seven adults, all authorities in the scientific community, can speak for hours at any academic lecture. But at this time, they did not say a word.

The air seemed to freeze, strangely quiet, except for the child to make some Yi Yi Ya sound from time to time.

After a long time, Roark was the first to break the silence and said, "This... Raised children, should ... Can talk. ”

One person broke the silence, the atmosphere seemed to be more active, and the psychologist said, "I have just done some experiments, and I don't think the child's intelligence is commensurate with his age." ”

Gordon added: "What he meant was that the child's body was four years old, but the intellect stayed for three months, and it grew rapidly, only physically, not mentally. ”

Another scientist said: "This is very understandable, the maturity of thought, the growth of psychology, the formation of thought, everything is related to contact with the outside world." The child had actually lived on earth for only three months, and he could not have had a higher intellect. Moreover, for these three months, he has been in the laboratory, has not had contact with others, and his intelligence should be lower than that of ordinary three-month-old babies. ”

Gordon pointed to the geneticist and said, "Thoughts don't fall within the scope of genetic factors?" ”

The geneticist smiled bitterly and said, "Between you and this child, whether you can use genetics to see the problem is still a question." This child, not your son — I mean, is not genetically derived from you according to the normal fertility process, he is developed by one of your cells. ”

Gordon protested: "Anyone is bred and developed from a cell. ”

The geneticist shook his head and said, "That's different, anyone is a combination of two cells, a sperm and an egg, the combination of genetic factors is extremely complex, and this person-"

Gordon said, "This man was successfully bred by asexual reproduction, and everything about him should be the same as mine." ”

None of them spoke, and Gordon's expression was a little hurried, and his face was swollen red, and he said, "This child... Exactly the same as me. Believe it or not, look at the picture of me when I was four years old. ”

As Gordon spoke, he took a folder and opened it. In the folder, there is a enlarged photo of a four-year-old, a photo of Gordon when he was four years old.

All the people, looking at the picture and looking at the child in front of them, let out a sigh. I don't know if they sighed out of surprise or felt magical.

A doctor, in a sigh, shouted, "Gordon, things have reached this point and should be published publicly." ”

Gordon said, "I invite you all here because you are all scientists. We scientists should have a conviction that we must keep groping for new things, and I can be sure that my achievements will be subject to worldly ideas, but I can also be sure that my achievements will change the development of mankind as a whole. ”

Roark said, "This... No doubt. By asexual reproduction... Man is equivalent to having a replica, forever... Won't die. ”

Gordon said, "Yes, let people's lives, through the method of asexual reproduction, survive forever, this is my purpose." But the most important part of human life is not the body, but the mind. ”

Gordon said this, pointing hard at the corner of his forehead, and repeated: "It's here!" If it's just a body, what's the point? Life is gone. ”

The psychologist stood up and sat down, sat down and stood up again and said, "But you can't... There is no way to pour one's own thoughts and knowledge into another body. ”

Gordon said, "So, I'm going to keep researching." I think, I can't finish this research, I need your help, all of us, to work together to usher in a new era for humanity. ”

Gordon's words were not actually inflammatory, but they deeply penetrated the hearts of everyone present, and all the people present were extremely outstanding scientists. It is not scientists who have such ideas, but with such ideas, they can become real scientists.

The idea is to constantly innovate, to use their own work to change the history of mankind, and to make it their inevitable responsibility.

There was a moment of silence in the laboratory, and everyone agreed, and Then Gordon said, "You may wish to contact like-minded friends, you must be able to keep secrets, I am ready to quit my job here, because here, when this person grows up, the secret must not be maintained." I am ready to move to Europe. ”

Roark suddenly said, "Where to move?" Austria? ”

Du Liang said, "Why Austria?" ”

Roark spread his hands and said, "Isn't that where Frankenstein was born?" After he said it, he hit a haha, but no one laughed with him.

Gordon glared at Roark and said, "Not humorous at all. ”

Roark smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry, I just suddenly felt this way." ”

Gordon frowned for a moment and said, "It takes a lot of money to set up such a laboratory, but because this work is so great, I am ready to give up everything to accomplish this goal." ”

Du Liang immediately agreed, and the rest of the network continued to agree.

The acquisition of a small nursing home near the Swiss town of Lehmann was decided a month after that gathering.

The Lerman Sanatorium was small and no one would pay attention to it, and preparations for the relocation began.

The man cultivated in the laboratory, Gordon has been trying to keep up with the intelligence level of ordinary people, but Gordon has failed, until three years later, the man's body, it seems that he has been completely a strong youth, but the intelligence seems to be stuck in the normal stage of less than a year old, in other words, this person is an idiot, hopeless idiot.

Gordon looked at me, I had been heard, too frightened to speak. The wine glass in my hand had already dried and added wine, and it had been added and drunk several times.

My throat was dry, as if there was a fire burning.

A person made in a laboratory, a person who is cultivated by asexual reproduction with only one cell.

Whether this man is an idiot or not, he is always alone.

Moreover, I also gradually understood all kinds of mysteries and many truths. The "General Zilo" that Chu Lun saw six years ago, and the current Chu Lun, are all products of the same kind.

But I still don't know what happened, so I had to look at Gordon with trepidation.

Gordon said: "If it weren't for my sudden heart attack, this kind of experiment, I would almost have given up, because it is pointless to cultivate an idiot." ”

I was a little puzzled: "How can you have a heart attack that makes the experimental work develop?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't make a sound, and after a while, Gordon said, "This was an accident. Really, in the beginning, no one thought about it, it was just an accident. ”

I took a breath and said, "Accident? Looking for or not understanding. ”

Roque said in a deep voice, "This is the case—"

The experiment continued in the Lerman Sanatorium, which was not ideal at all except that the man who continued to grow, who was intellectually unintelligent and without any education, an incurable idiot.

Gordon was already exhausted, tired from overwork, and secondly, the most deadly was extreme disappointment, what was he cultivating? There is no doubt that it is a person. But what is a thoughtless person? It was just a body.

A body, that is meaningless. Gordon had envisioned that a man bred by the method of asexual reproduction could be like the original body not only in terms of the appearance of the body, but also in terms of thought and intelligence, and only in that way could the whole history of mankind be changed.

Gordon often told his like-minded friends who were working together on research about the visions that followed the experiment. Taking himself as an example, he already has a wealth of knowledge, but also has a bold innovation, ahead of the times. In any case, however, the aging of the flesh is inevitable.

And if his experimental work is successful, then what kind of progress will it be for a cultivated person, a brand new body, who has inherited all his wisdom, and who can continue to absorb more knowledge and produce more wisdom.

But Gordon's experiment failed, and all he cultivated was a phase of the body.

After moving to the sanatorium in the town of Lerman, the experimental work was carried out in secret, and the scope was already quite large, and there was more than one individual cultivated by the asexual reproduction method, but in the process of rapid growth, all the individuals cultivated were idiots without the ability to think.

During a study, Gordon suffered a sudden heart attack.

In the midst of his excited speech, Gordon suddenly stopped, his eyes straight, his face showing a color close to dead ash, and his body swayed and fell backwards.

Behind him was Roark, who held him up, cried out, "God, Gordon, you can't leave us." ”

Gordon's lips trembled violently, but he could no longer speak, and this situation, not to mention the many famous doctors in the venue, even ordinary people, could see that the situation was not good.

A doctor immediately stepped forward to take the pulse for Gordon, and while making gestures, Roque and Duryan stood up to Gordon, left the conference room, and entered the ward. In the ward, a series of rescues were carried out on Gordon, and Gordon's life was temporarily preserved.

In a small room outside the ward, there were nine people, including Durian and Roque, each of whom was involuntarily and breathing a little shortly because of an extremely serious problem.

Du Liang was the first to break the silence and said, "Gordon's condition is extremely serious, he is leaving us." ”

All the people shook a little, and some, involuntarily, reached out to wipe the sweat oozing from their foreheads.

The reason why they came here, some people are anonymous, some people have changed their faces, all for a common ideal, and this ideal was put forward by Gordon.

Gordon can be said to be the soul of their organization, and everything starts with Gordon. If the whole work has been accomplished, then Gordon's departure is not a problem. "But now the work is just the beginning, and the most important part has not yet been solved.

It was hard for everyone present to imagine that if Gordon died, their work would continue.

Du Liang added, "We... If Gordon's life could not be saved, there would be no one in the world who could save him. ”

Du Liang's words are not exaggerated, because among the nine people present, four are the most authoritative people in the medical field.

A doctor muttered a word, and his voice was very low and vague, but because of the heavy mood of everyone and the strange silence in the room, a few people heard what he was muttering.

Roark was next to the doctor, and he could hear best, and the doctor was saying, "Actually, we can keep Gordon alive." ”

Roark turned sharply, and out of nervousness, he involuntarily reached out and grabbed the doctor's shirt, "What are you talking about?" Can we keep Gordon alive? Please, say the means. ”

The doctor's face was not very good-looking, and at this time, it was even more frighteningly pale. He cried out as if he had committed a crime, "When I didn't say it, when I didn't say it." ”

Roark was not the only one who heard the doctor say this. And when he was questioned by Roque, the reaction was so strong and strange that it was quite unexpected by everyone, so when he shouted, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

The doctor clasped his hands, almost as if pleading with everyone, and said, "If I didn't say that, okay?" ”

Another doctor said, "But in fact, you have already said, do you really have a way to save Gordon's life?" This is too important for all of us. ”

The doctor groaned, his body trembling, and at the repeated urging of everyone, he said, "I mean, once... A simple heart transplant could save Gordon's life. ”

As soon as this sentence was uttered, several people immediately snorted with a little anger: "Who doesn't know this, the question is, where to find a suitable heart?" Having said that is equal to—"

The man's words were only half spoken.

He originally wanted to say that the doctor "said it is equal to not saying it", but before the following two words of "not saying" could be uttered, he stopped sharply and stopped talking.

In that instant, he stopped talking, and a very strange look appeared on his face.

The strange look that appeared on the man's face seemed to be contagious, and it was obvious that everyone present, in a very short time, had all thought of the same thing, so the same look appeared.

For a moment, no one spoke, and the small room was very quiet, only the thick breathing sound of each person.

The silence lasted for at least ten minutes, and it was a really long, suffocating silence, and then, in a very low voice, Du Liang broke the silence and said, "But... May I? ”

His voice was already extremely low, but when he uttered this simple question, his voice was still trembling involuntarily. Everyone present knew why he was trembling, and two of them even let out an immediate groan, but no one answered at all. After Du Liang asked this question, he looked at everyone, almost everyone avoided his gaze, and finally, Du Liang's gaze stopped on Roque's body.

Roark also half-turned his head, Duryan called his name, and Roark turned back again.

Du Liang said: "We are the first three people, what do you think, can you?" May I? ”

Roark took a deep breath and asked, "What about you?" Do you think it is possible? ”

Du Liang said, "I... I...... I..." He looked extremely hesitant as he spoke three "I" words in succession, and it was obvious that it was extremely difficult for him to decide whether it was okay or not. But in an instant, as if he had made up his mind, he straightened up, first took a long breath, and said, "I don't see the reason why I can't, so, I said, yes." ”

As if relieved, Roark said, "You say yes, then it will be fine." ”

Du Liang's expression was extremely serious, and he said, "No, there is no echo, every one of us present must express our opinions with great clarity." ”

Roark froze for a moment before he said, "Yes." ”

Duryan looked at the people around Roark, and beside Roark was the doctor who was the first to mutter, saying that he could save Gordon's life, and he said, "Yes." ”

Du Liang looked at a geneticist again, and the geneticist screamed, "No, that... That's murder! ”

The two people next to the geneticist immediately nodded, "Yes, that... It was murder. Others all said "yes." Six people said "yes", three people said "that is murder", of course their opinion was "no".

Du Liang sighed and said, "For the first time, there was a difference of opinion between us. ”

The three people who said "no", led by geneticists, said: "If the minority obeys the majority one by one"

Du Liang immediately interrupted him and said, "No, as I said just now, everyone must express his or her opinion extremely clearly, and the minority cannot obey the majority!" If you use the method of the minority obeying the majority, I also say that it is not okay, things can still be carried out, it is five to four, the majority can be, to my heart, you can forgive yourself: that is not my opinion, no, we do not use this slippery, evasive method, we have to really establish a new concept. ”

The geneticist said: "We are talking about taking a person's life. ”

Du Liang said, "No, what we are discussing is to save a person's life, to save the life of a great scientific genius." ”

Their accounts are very organized, based entirely on what was happening at the time.

When I began to hear their differences of opinion for "yes" and "no", for a moment, I couldn't understand what they were saying and what could not be.

But when I heard the conversation between the geneticist and Du Liang at that time, I suddenly understood.

In an instant, the shock in my heart was indescribable.

I immediately looked at Gordon, who looked very serene, not like a man with a serious heart condition.

It can be seen from this that the argument of the nine people at that time finally reached a unified opinion, that it was "possible" and put into practice, so that Gordon lived to the present and seemed to be extremely healthy.

I want to say something, but I can't say it, I want to ask questions, and I don't know how to ask questions for a while, because there are too many questions involving morality, ethics, the value of life, law, and so on, and I don't know where to start.

More importantly, I knew that there was no need to ask, and they would naturally tell me how a unified opinion had been reached at that time.

I was just breathing fast, and I really needed more oxygen, not only mentally, but also physically.

After Du Liang's words, there was a moment of silence, and Roque said, "I assume that each of us has really understood what problem we are discussing?" ”

The geneticist smiled bitterly and said, "There are still questions." Just now, I said half of it, and Du Liang also said half of it. What we are talking about is how to kill a person and save a person. ”

Roark said, "Yes, to be more specific, the theme of our discussion is to cut the heart of the person who has been cultivated, transplant it into Gordon's chest, and perform such an operation to save Gordon's life." ”

The doctor spoke a little sheepishly, and he said, "That man's... Everything is the same as Gordon, after the heart transplant, there will be no problem of allogeneic rejection, the operation will be successful, and the person's body is strong like an ox. ”

The geneticist said, "But that man... What will happen to him? His heart was removed... What will happen? ”

Du Liang's voice sounded a little cold, "We all know the fact that no one can survive after their hearts have been taken." ”

The geneticist said, "Well, we just killed this man." ”

Du Liang shouted, "But this is the only way to save Gordon." ”

After Du Liang shouted loudly, everyone was quiet again, and after a while, Roque said in a very heavy voice, "I think we are going to discuss from the beginning, is the person cultivated by Gordon a kind of life?" ”

The geneticist looked at Roark with a rather angry expression and said, "You call it 'that person,' man, of course life. ”

Roque said, "I call him this only for the convenience of speech, in fact, Gordon has a number for him, which is the first number of the experiment." Well, do we all think that Experiment Number One is a life? ”

The geneticist first expressed his attitude: "Yes." ”

Not only did he immediately express his attitude, but he also repeatedly intensified his tone, saying, "Of course it is!" We have lived with him for a long time, and everyone can know that he is not only a life, but also a person, just like you and me. ”

Du Liang said, "Experiment One has no thoughts at all. ”

Geneticists say: "Idiots are also human beings, have the right to live, and cannot be killed casually." ”

Du Liang obviously felt extremely impatient, he swollen his face, and said, "Well, then let Gordon die and keep this idiot, and do this to make your conscience more peaceful." ”

The geneticist also blushed and did not make a sound. A doctor said, "The work we are engaged in is extremely needed by Gordon, and Experiment One, which can be cultivated in a few years, ten or eight, can be, I think this matter, there is no need to argue." ”

The geneticist and the other two who had just said "no" both sighed. One of them said, "It seems that the view of life is going to change completely." ”

The geneticist said, "Yes, we have to do this in the most fundamental way, that what is cultivated through the method of asexual reproduction is not a life at all, and can be destroyed at will." ”

Du Liang and Roque said in unison, "Yes, that's our concept." ”

Then, after another period of silence, Du Liang asked, "Okay, please raise your hand in favor." ”

The six men quickly raised their hands, the geneticist hesitated for a moment and raised his hand, and the other two followed suit.

Du Liang stood up and said, "From this moment on, we have erected a brand new concept for all mankind. This concept, with the progress of the times, will certainly be accepted by all mankind, but at this stage, this concept is in conflict with the secular moral concept and the current laws of various countries, so instead of being open, we must strictly keep secrets. ”

Everyone was silent, and after a moment, Du Liang said, "No one wants to quit?" Okay, so let's start doing a heart transplant for Gordon. ”

Everyone stood up, and from that moment on, almost no one had said anything, and even if anyone had spoken, the words that were absolutely necessary were related to the operation.

Because of the top talents in all aspects, the operation went very smoothly, and no one in the world who performed a heart transplant could recover faster than Gordon, and in less than a week, Gordon was almost like a normal person, ready to act.

And the heart in his newly transplanted body is a strong new heart, young enough to bear at least fifty years of physical work.

Gordon looked at me, pointed to his own heart, and said, "Because that's my own heart, there is no rejection problem at all." ”

My thoughts were extremely confused, and although I concentrated on listening to them recount the situation, my ears were still "buzzing", and when Gordon looked at me, I said, "I... Just want to ask one question. ”

Roark made a gesture that I could ask any question I wanted, and I said, "That man... That one...... Experiment One, he..."

One doctor said, "He died painlessly after the anesthesia had passed." ”

My voice was dry, and I said, "I see that there is also a problem with the word 'death', since you do not recognize him as a life, why do you die?" ”

Du Liang frowned and said, "I said long ago that the new concepts we have established are difficult for the world to accept. ”

Involuntarily, I closed my eyes, and as I closed my eyes, it was as if I saw a young, healthy man, anesthetized, lying on the operating table, and then, with the first-rate surgeon beside him, skillfully wielding the knife, cut open his chest, and from his chest, took his heart out and moved it into the chest of another man.

This person lying on the operating table, of course, died immediately, originally did not exist, died, and no one will pursue, it can be said that it is nothing at all.

But which person in the world originally existed? This man, whatever his number, he was really a man, he was murdered. But because of his death, another man survived. Those who survive can quickly cultivate such people again.

Is this moral or immoral?

My mind was truly chaotic to the extreme.

In this situation, I guess that Du Liang, Luo Ke and the other nine people must have the same mood when they were deliberating, and I looked at them, like Luo Liang, Du Liang, and the few people who immediately decided to "can", their thinking, is not correct?

From a realistic point of view, of course, there is nothing wrong, "Experiment One" died, Gordon survived, in the same way, can make everyone's life get a limited continuation, can make many modern medicine helpless diseases, into simple and easy to treat. Like Tao Qiquan's heart disease, Prince Apat's bowel cancer, etc., and even, the entire inner treasure can be replaced by surgery.

Experiment One was nothing more than a backup for Gordon. Like a car with a spare tire, the original tire in use has a problem, and the spare tire will be made up.

If "Experiment One" is not a person at all, just a set of organs, then there is no problem, but "Experiment One" is clearly a living person.

When I was stuttering and didn't know how to express my opinion, Du Liang said, "It's not easy to draw conclusions, isn't it?" As I have said long ago, this new concept is not easy to accept. ”

I snorted and said, "Especially when this so-called new idea is used as a tool to accumulate wealth, it is even more difficult to accept." ”

Du Liang also snorted and said, "You can't blame us for this, yes, we have received a lot of money because of this, and now, the wealth accumulated in our hospital is higher than any other foundation, even more than the Roman Catholic Church, and we can use this money to carry out our research work." ”

My mind was still very confused, and I couldn't sort out a clue, but I still had enough wit to say, "A lot of money is exchanged for a lot of life." ”

Du Liang smiled coldly, "I think your statement is wrong." Ever since we performed a heart transplant for Gordon, and he recovered quickly, we have found that the experiments we have carried out, which were originally intended to continue the life of man through the birth of another new self, have not been achieved, but they cannot be regarded as a complete failure, at least we can continue the life of man to a limited extent, which is a great discovery. This discovery was made by Gordon after he was completely cured. ”

Duryan made a "please" gesture to Gordon and asked him to continue.

Gordon said, "I know for myself that my heart disease is completely better. Originally a blind spot in modern medicine, we broke through, there are many terminal diseases, can be cured by this method, so we began to make a large-scale plan. ”

The plan was very large, first trained a group of people, completely using the method of training secret agents to train, training those few people to become alert, fast-moving special personnel.

Then, collect a list of the world's various super-big people, and their living habits. When you have figured it out, send out trained personnel.

What the trainees have to do is actually not difficult, as long as the selected target is slightly injured and bleeds a little. Such a slight injury is difficult for anyone to avoid in their lifetime, and they will not care. The difficulty is that super big people are generally not easy to approach, and once they are approached, they can almost achieve their goals.

As a result, various ways of approaching the super-big man were adopted, and when he met Prince Apant, he pretended to be the representative of Japan's oil purchase.

After obtaining the blood cells of the super tycoon, they were properly preserved in the fastest way and sent to the Lerman Sanatorium, where they were bred in the laboratory using the asexual reproduction method. Usually, in just five years, the nurturer grows up, grows into a person exactly like the super tycoon, and becomes their backup.

These reserves, kept in the secret rooms of Lerman Hospital, are best cared for, making them extremely healthy people, ready to act as their backups whenever they need them.

The reserves are all intellectual, and sometimes they will escape, and when Chu Lun saw General Zilo by the lake, he was actually a reserve man of Zilo.

The super tycoons only knew that they had been bizarrely injured once, and some even thought it was a small accident, and they never knew that they already had a backup. Until their health went wrong, they suffered from an incurable serious illness, like Tao Qiquan—"

When Gordon said this, I waved my hand sharply and said, "Wait a minute. ”

Gordon stopped, looked at me, and said, "I have two extremely serious questions to ask. ”

Gordon's expression was full of confidence, an aura that he could answer any question. I took a breath and said, "The first question is: Is the super tycoon's illness deliberately caused by you?" For example, Mr. Tao Qiquan's heart disease. ”

Gordon smiled and said, "Of course not, if that's the case, it's a crime." ”

I snorted and said, "Then how do you know he's going to have a heart attack?" How would prince Apinte know that he would have cancer? ”

Gordon said, "We don't know. We just nurtured their reserves, waited, and when we needed them, we needed them. ”

Gordon said: "The trunk of the car has a spare tire, and no one knows which of the four original tires it will replace." But of the four tires in use, one of them will definitely go bad. ”

I frowned and said, "So—"

Gordon interrupted me and said, "The football team has reserve players, and no one will know which official player will go wrong, the reserve is placed there, it can be used, it can be used, it cannot be used, and there is no loss, because we have accumulated considerable experience, and it is not difficult to cultivate a reserve." ”

I understood What Gordon meant, and a chill rose in my heart, "So, the reserve you cultivated——""

Gordon glanced at everyone present, as if asking for their consent, and then he said, "The correct number of reserves we have cultivated is five hundred and twenty-seven, and in the past few years, an average of twenty-six can be used every year, and in the past two years, there is a tendency to increase." ”

He looked at me in a daze and said, "You know, the lives of super big people are actually not good, they have to pay more mental and physical labor than ordinary people, although they have the best doctors to take care of their health, but there are many diseases, the prevalence is very high, especially heart disease." Heart disease, on the other hand, is the easiest one to cure. ”

I reached out and tapped my forehead, "Like Mr. Tao Qiquan—"

Gordon said: "Take him as an example, let's see the way we act, Mr. Tao is one of the richest people in Asia, his health has been in trouble, it is impossible to hide people, as soon as the news comes out, we will carry out activities." ”

Their activities are very procedural and not urgent, and if the disease suffered by the target is within the scope of modern medicine, we will not come forward at all.

When the target disease was affirmed and modern medicine was powerless, they came forward. There are many ways to come forward, but there is only one purpose: to meet and talk directly with the target. The way Roque and Tao Qiquan meet is to impersonate Dr. Barnard's personal representative.

Tao Qiquan is a person who knows for sure that he is terminally ill, but there is no one in the world, especially the rich, who is willing to accept this fact. No matter how much money they usually value, when they reach the threshold of death, they will be willing to give a lot of money, even ninety-nine percent of their property, in exchange for their lives.

And almost without exception, as soon as they learn they can survive, they sign the property transfer documents.

Here, I posted a small question: "Sign the documents for the transfer of property?" What do they think? They are all smart people, if after signing, what if they can't get sick? ”

Roque laughed and said, "Thank you for solving this problem for us." I really didn't understand what Roark meant by this, so I had to stare at him, and Roark said, "In the era when your country passed the exam and hired officials, there was a method of fraud called 'buying bone joints', wasn't it?" ”

I couldn't help but laugh a little, and said: "The name is 'selling joints', that is, the person who takes the test will write the selected few people on the test paper." As soon as the examiner saw it, he knew that it was the master who paid for it, and he would go and record him. ”

Roque said, "Yeah, these test takers, how do they pay?" ”

As soon as I heard Roark say this, I couldn't help but cry out "Ah", and my heart was angry and funny.

People who buy joints for the test usually write an IOU, and the name after the IOU states "New Keju people so-and-so have a loan". If the joints are not working, if they cannot be lifted, they are not new people, of course, they do not have to pay back, this kind of thing, Chinese with a little historical knowledge know it.

Naturally, I understood that the documents signed by the big men, the dates on the documents, must have been the ones they knew they must have died by then. For example, Tao Qiquan knew that he only had a month's life and asked him to sign a document a year later, of course he was willing. If he is well healed, then he will willingly fulfill everything promised in the document, and if he is not healed, this document will of course be of no use at all.

I "met" and said, "Clever way." ”

Roque said: "Yes, it is completely voluntary, and in most cases, we are all scientists and not very good at business, so all we ask for is one-half or one-third of the patient's annual income." This patient has too much money, using too much money from them, we come to develop scientific research, I don't see any harm. ”

I sighed, indeed, it didn't hurt. But I have another problem, and it's a bigger problem.

As I was thinking about how to raise the issue, Roark had already urged, "You just said there are two questions, and what is the other one?" ”

I said slowly, "You have repeatedly stressed that reserve people have no thoughts and no consciousness, and because they are cultivated, they cannot be regarded as a kind of life, can they? ”

They were silent for a moment before Gordon said, "That means so, but rhetorically it is debatable, for example, they are basically products in the laboratory, and the purpose of cultivating them is to serve as a backup." ”

I raised my voice and said, "I have a problem with that, they may not be completely ignorant of intellect and thought, at least they will flee." And when they flee, when they are captured by those you have sent, they will also struggle, they want to be free. ”

I said it very seriously, thinking that my words would make them at least have to think about it before they could answer it. However, the result was unexpected, and my words caused a chuckle.

Roque said: "First, they are not fleeing, but in the fixed action training, the staff neglected to let them go out. In fact, even the most unconscious creatures will naturally struggle to act when they are altered by external forces. ”

What else do I want to say, Gordon said, "The reason why Mr. Wei has such a question is because he doesn't know anything about the back-up life, and I propose to simply let him take a look at it, and he will understand." ”

Du Liang frowned, "Actually, that's not pretty——"

I immediately interrupted him and said, "Even if it's not good, I want to see it." ”

That situation is really not good at all, not only is it not good-looking, but even it makes people feel extremely disgusting, disgusting to the point that I really don't want to write out the "backup" life situation in detail, but only prepare to write about it.

Their appearance is all people, and when I first saw them, I was really shocked, no important meeting in the world, there will not be so many big people gathered together.

However, they are all the backups of the big people, and they are ready to be "used" after the big people's physical problems. Everything they have to be taken care of by others, including eating and excretion.

I had to say that the "backups" I saw were all very well cared for, and whether this life was really life or not was not a life confused me.

Du Liang, they showed the secret to me without reservation, I am very grateful to them, and the mystery in my heart has been solved. But if I had to agree with them completely, I wouldn't be able to do it. Whether I want to oppose their actions or not, I can't make up my mind. In a word, I was completely confused.

When I was about to leave, Du liang took me to an operating room, took out a sharp knife, signaled to me, I involuntarily reached out and let him on my finger, gently cut it, let a drop of blood, drip into a vial.

When I do this, I naturally understand that this little drop of blood, they can successfully cultivate a reserve me, once my body organs have some incurable disease, or damage, this backup, can save my life.

I couldn't help but laugh bitterly. Human values for life are extremely self-centered, and if I need to use "reserves" when I need them, do I consider my own life first, or my backup life? Then I would think that what the backup was, it was just a cell in my body, and there were an unknown number of cells in my body dying every day.

When I finally left the hospital, I met with Chu Lun again. It wasn't Cullen, of course, but a moment before Cullen died, they took a "backup" formed by the cells on Cullen's body.

However, the situation is different, Chu Lun is dead, and there will never be a situation where there is a useful backup, and this backup will have to survive meaninglessly.

Durian, Roque, and Gordon sent me to the door, and the three of them discussed in a low voice before Durian spoke and asked, "What is your simplest comment on the work we are doing?" ”

I don't have to ask me this question at all, I have asked myself an unknown number of times, and it is impossible to have an answer, because my views on this matter are extremely confused, and I hear a completely new concept, and I am completely vague, and I cannot talk about acceptance or rejection.

I had to laugh bitterly and said, "All I can say is that I can't make any comment." ”

Roark nodded, "Say, this reaction is normal. ”

I had already moved forward, but suddenly, I stood still and said, "If one day, someone who has been cultivated from the laboratory suddenly has a mind, what will happen?" ”

Gordon said, "That's exactly what we dreamed of." ”

I took a breath and said, "Don't you think that if there is such a day, it will not be a disaster for mankind?" ”

Gordon, Duryan, and Roque looked very strange, as if what I had proposed would never happen.

Du Liang said, "Then how come?" There's not going to be a drastic change, it's not going to be—"

I shook my head and said, "Don't be too sure, scientist, don't be too sure." Change may be a catastrophe that turns the world upside down. ”

None of the three of them made a sound, and their expressions were obviously disapproving. I will not argue with them anymore, because this is a matter of the future, and who can judge the future?

Roark said, "Will you tell Miss Haven what you know?" ”

I shook my head and said, "No, I won't tell anyone except my wife, Bai Su." Miss Haven, I will deceive her with another story—" I said this, paused, and then said, "I am afraid that it will take at least a few years for me to forget the vision of the reserves, so confused and helpless, as if they are in the depths of their hearts, knowing their fate." ”

Du Liang sighed and said, "Friend, that is your subjective image, and I believe that it is all your subjective image." ”

I had to laugh bitterly, I really couldn't have a second way to go but to believe him.

On Haven's side, I made up a story, she didn't know whether to believe it or not, anyway, I didn't pursue it any further, I almost fled, left Switzerland.

At the airport, Sha Ling came to deliver me, and I said to him in the most sincere voice: "Old friend, please believe me, everything... None of them are normal, but they're not what our abilities can stop – don't ask, just trust me. I speak of incompetence because I am fundamentally confused about what has happened, completely unaware of what is going on. ”

Sha Ling looked at me with a look of extreme bewilderment, but we were old friends after all, and he believed me and did not ask any more questions.

After I opened my mouth, I told Bai Su about the whole process, and from Bai Su's casual look, I knew that she was also difficult to draw conclusions, and I felt the same confusion in my heart.

Half a month later, Tao Qiquan stepped down from his private plane in good spirits, receiving cheers from the welcoming crowd, and on the third day after he returned, he offered to see me, and I saw him sitting in a large, Microsoft easy chair, casting a mocking eye at me, saying: "Who says money can't buy life?" I've long said that money is a panacea. ”

I could only smile bitterly, and Tao Qiquan leaned forward and said, "You promised them, and no one told me, did you?" ”

I was a little helpless and said, "Yes." ”

Tao Qiquan sat up straight again and said, "I am very grateful to them, they do not ask for much, I am ready to double down on them and express my gratitude." ”

I said coldly, "This is a matter for both of you." ”

I got up to say goodbye, and Tao Qiquan sent me out, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "When you are facing life and death, you know how great their work is." ”

I didn't argue because, throughout, I was confused and couldn't say whether I was for or against.

At this point, it can already be said that the end of the matter is over, and there is only a small aftermath, which is worth recording.

About three months after his return, Prince Apante staged a coup d'état that made him the head of the country, that is, he had free control over the oil revenues of the region he ruled.

Apant wanted to achieve this position, of course, because he wanted to pay twenty percent of the oil revenue of Lerman Hospital.

Many people died in the coup, which seems to be caused by the demands of Lerman Hospital, but there are such things happening in the world, and Lerman Hospital cannot be completely blamed.

In the days that followed, I was very attentive to the news that the super big man was sick. Lerman Hospital is still not famous, and no one will pay attention to a small hospital in such a small place.

Until a big man was injured, very badly, and shot several times, but less than a month later, when the big man appeared in front of the public again, I knew that this was another example of the success of Lerman Hospital. I couldn't help but sigh, still confused in my heart.

Exactly what happened at Lerman Hospital should be concluded is left to historical evaluation.
