dogma

Before coming to see Rao Xinghai, Liu Yushan stayed in Nie Cai's room.

"He's suspicious," Nie Cai said.

"But he is also very useful." Liu Yushan answered, "He is the best sample we have, and your best work."

Nie Cai's eyes were blank for a moment, and he asked, "You really think so?"

"I never doubt any of your decisions, you are always right." Liu Yushan put a syringe into his waist bag, and tied the chain, "There is no problem with the evolutionary agent, you continue to keep it, and let Rao Xinghai Use. According to our plan, at least until he and someone give birth to the second generation of new humans, right?"

"...Xiang Zhe is dead." Nie Cai rubbed his fingers, his eyes filled with uncommon uneasiness, "The evolution agent will cause death, at least until we figure out what consequences it will have, I don't think it can be used anymore. "

"It was just an unfortunate accident." Liu Yushan said, "I thought it was our consensus."

"Rao Xinghai is very precious, no matter what, I don't want to take any risks."

Liu Yushan stared at him, and quickly changed the subject: "It seems that you have believed him."

"...I used drugs, but what he said was correct." Nie Cai said, "Maybe it was indeed the truth, and I was too worried. Since I decided to use him, I still have to trust him."

The black cat was lying on the desk, its golden pupils were like two deep gems.Liu Yushan stroked the black cat's back and said with a smile, "Are you doubting yourself?"

Anger rolled in Nie Cai's eyes: "I never doubt myself."

"I trust you." Liu Yushan said, "I also trust my intuition. Although I thought there was something wrong with him at first, after getting along with him for so many days, I think Rao Xinghai is normal and there is nothing wrong. Luo and those people are different, he didn't grow up in the Yuanxing Club. You can't demand that his temperament completely match your preferences."

Nie Cai frowned and said nothing.

"...Do you doubt your teaching?" Liu Yushan asked again.

This question was like sparks splashing into oil, and instantly ignited Nie Cai's anger: "My teaching can't be wrong! The teaching is correct, and its effect is obvious! I can't be wrong!"

He turned to look at Liu Yushan: "...Or do you think there is something wrong with my teaching?"

Liu Yushan: "No problem. I trust you in everything you do."

Nie Cai pursed his lips tightly.

"Haven't we always cooperated like this?" Liu Yushan whispered, "Nie Cai, I know you don't like me, but at least we have trust between us. I am attracted by your ideals, there is no doubt about it, you Think that I have value, and I am happy to be used by you."

The black cat flicked its tail, pressed its paw on Nie Cai's arm, and let out a soft "meow".

"You can ask me to do anything, Nie Cai." Liu Yushan said eagerly, "As long as you can realize your ideals, as long as you can reveal the secret of the Sentinel Guide's evolution, I can do anything. I killed people for you , you still refuse to believe in my loyalty?"

After a long time, Nie Cai spat secretly: "You are so disgusting."

Liu Yushan still smiled: "Yes, I'm disgusting."

"Kneel down and don't move." Nie Cai said, "Just like before."

Liu Yushan was stunned for a moment.The black cat on the table suddenly blew its fur, and the black bear roared angrily, making Nie Cai's ears ring and hurt.

"Kneel now?" Liu Yushan asked softly, "How long will I have to kneel? I still have to go to Rao Xinghai to see how he is doing. This is the first time he is receiving training today, and it may be very uncomfortable."

This reason convinced Nie Cai, who waved Liu Yushan away.The black cat disappeared, and Liu Yushan walked out of Nie Cai's room, closing the door gently.

But his hand was holding the doorknob tightly, and he didn't let go for a long time.

When walking towards Rao Xinghai's room, Liu Yushan passed a window.It was dark outside, and Liu Yushan's face was reflected in the window.

A gloomy and cold face, with no temperature in the pupils, as if a cold fire was burning from the depths of the pupils.

After looking at himself for a moment, Liu Yushan rubbed his face.The muscles and skin on his face became alive, and he smiled at the window glass softly, no different from usual.

While waiting for Rao Xinghai to wake up, Liu Yushan has been dealing with things on the computer.The headquarters of the Joffrey Research Institute was inquiring about the progress of the skeletons in Serenshal Mountain, and he replied one by one.

[Someone has already been eyeing our current project. After the bones of Serenshaer Mountain are transported to Joffrey, let's cut off contact first. 】

【Discovered? 】

[The bones of the female sentinel in Africa were first obtained by the International Special Management Committee, and the whereabouts of our expedition team have been discovered. 】

[Talk these things to Nie Cai, I am only responsible for communicating with you about technical issues]

【No, I can't talk to him normally.Nie is so weird, why does he always believe that giant skeletons are the goal of evolution? 】

【I am not sure. 】

[Is this related to your previous paper?But we've proven that giant skeletons are all children under 10 years old, and it causes mutations and premature death, which is not a good thing. 】

【You know, Nie Cai doesn't like other people asking about his affairs.So even I don't have the ability to comment on his decision. 】

[You have already done experiments on humans, haven't you?Didn't the sentinel mutate later, and died after his size skyrocketed? 】

【Nie Cai always thought it was just an unfortunate accident.I can't convince him. 】

[However, you have already demonstrated that the evolutionary trend of Sentinel Guides is to completely become ordinary humans.This is also a conclusion that is generally recognized internationally, and there are already a lot of evidence that can support this conclusion...]

Liu Yushan closed the computer and looked at Rao Xinghai who was sitting up from the bed.

"Don't worry, you can't hear clearly in your sleep." He said with a smile, "How does it feel? It's the first time you have been trained, can you bear it?"

"...Yes." Rao Xinghai replied vaguely, "Why are you here?"

"Don't worry, we are companions, and I won't let you get hurt." Liu Yushan stroked the back of the black cat, his movements were slow and gentle, "I am 'Oasis'. I know, you belong to Gao Tianyue."

Rao Xinghai was stunned for a moment: "What are you talking about?"

"I sent the email to Gao Tianyue. I also wrote that report." Liu Yushan went on straight, "Do you really think you can sneak into the Yuanxing Club so easily? It's me, it's me Tell Nie Cai that you have no problem, that's why he trusts you."

"...You told Nie Cai?" Rao Xinghai suddenly felt dizzy for a moment, "Will Nie Cai listen to you?"

"We trust each other." Liu Yushan replied.

After a few minutes of silence, he suddenly laughed loudly.

"Well, I confess," he said with a smile. "There is no mutual trust. In short, it seems to you that I completely follow his instructions, but in reality, he listens to me."

For Liu Yushan, the greatest frustration in life was caused by Nie Cai.

When they were young, the two entered the training class of the Special Management Committee at the same time, and their grades were comparable, but their personalities were very different.

Like Nie Cai, Liu Yushan was born in a well-to-do family, but unlike Nie Cai, he shared a father with another family.

The abuse of "illegitimate child" has accompanied him for many years, but he is very proud of his mother, and his grades have been excellent since he was a child.It is precisely because of his excellent grades that his taciturnity and inarticulateness have been interpreted as side effects of studying hard. "It'll be fine when I go to college." Both his mother and teacher explained why he didn't have a friend by his side. "He's just shy."

Liu Yushan was only 16 years old when he entered the training class of the Special Management Committee.There are many strangers in the training institution, but the only one who is the same age as me and is also in the biology class is a smiling teenager.

Liu Yushan once thought that he could make friends with Nie Cai, but soon after he entered school, he knew that he and Nie Cai were not fellow travelers.

The two originally lived in a four-person room, and Nie Cai rarely stayed in the dormitory.He likes to socialize with people, either to find friends in other dormitories, or to do experiments with other teams in the laboratory in his free time.

Liu Yushan has always adhered to his poor experience in elementary school: he thought that as long as he got good grades, he would naturally be respected and friends.

But the reality did not let him do so.His withdrawn and eccentricity made him a frequent loner in training institutions.Even his most sympathetic classmates turn him down because of his coldness and repeated rejections.

When Liu Yushan and Nie Cai were alone in the dormitory, everything became more obvious. Nie Cai's cheerfulness and enthusiasm always won him the favor of many people, while Liu Yushan sat alone reading a book, looking at himself and his surroundings. The posture of isolation.

"Perhaps because of this, Nie Cai thought I was a tight-lipped person." Liu Yushan said, "I don't know when, as long as he and I were left alone in the dormitory, he would try to humiliate me. "

Rao Xinghai was taken aback: "What?"

"Hit me, or scold me, attack me with all kinds of words you can't imagine." Liu Yushan frowned slightly, and to Rao Xinghai's surprise, he was actually smiling.

The first time Liu Yushan was attacked by Nie Cai was when Liu Yushan was off guard.He was looking up papers at the desk, and Nie Cai threw an alarm clock on his back from the bed.Liu Yushan was immediately taken aback.He looked back and saw Nie Cai with a calm expression, and pointed to the alarm clock on the ground: "Pick it up."

He ignored it at first, and soon, Nie Cai released his black bear in the dormitory.Because of the deterrent power of this mental body, Liu Yushan dared not disobey.He picked up the alarm clock and handed it to Nie Cai, but immediately after, Nie Cai threw the alarm clock at his face.

Amidst Liu Yushan's cry of pain, Nie Cai laughed and fell from the upper bunk to the ground.He squeezed Liu Yushan's face: It's disgusting, are you crying?

Liu Yushan didn't dare to say a word, he stood stiffly on the spot, with Nie Cai's tall figure in front of him, and a black bear standing upright behind him.His spiritual body jumped out of his body, ran anxiously on the ground and whispered, waiting for Liu Yushan's instructions.

Liu Yushan didn't order it to attack, nor did he resist.He meekly endured this humiliation, only to hate his roommate more and more in his heart.

Liu Yushan originally thought it was just an accidental act by Nie Cai because he was unhappy.But he found that Nie Cai was already familiar with this operation.

He will let Liu Yushan stand in the corner of the dormitory, together with the black bear.Sometimes the black bear and Liu Yushan would lie together, but Liu Yushan couldn't calm down at all, he just closed his eyes, suffered from insomnia all night, and curled up stiffly in the corner of the bed.

"He knows that I won't tell it. First, no one will believe it. Second, I can't let others know that he is humiliating me." Liu Yushan stroked the ear of the black cat, "Sometimes he would make me kneel down, constantly Repeating nonsense."

I am trash.I can't do anything well.I am Nie Cai's servant.People like me should die immediately.I don't deserve to live in this world.Etc., etc.

"It's not the first time he has played this disgusting game. He also treated others like this in the previous middle school. This is already an experience, but he didn't expect to meet such a person like me when he came to the training class." .I'm too convenient and too like those he intimidated."

After that, the teachers began to persuade Liu Yushan and Nie Cai to do experiments and sort out the data together. "He and I moved to a two-person dormitory. The teachers arranged this way to let him influence me and let me socialize more. But he actually thinks that he has the right to dominate me." Liu Yushan suddenly grinned, "Then, Here's my chance."

Rao Xinghai's heart was shocked: This is a frightening smile, containing a cold joy.

The opportunity he spoke of was a personal contact from the Joffrey Institute of Science.

Liu Yushan once participated in the global special human youth science competition as a national representative, and he wrote a paper on the family inheritance of the sentinel guide spiritual body.It was this award-winning paper that gave Liu Yushan the opportunity to enter the training class, and at the same time made the people of the Geoffrey Institute of Science pay attention to him.

After several twists and turns, a researcher from the Institute of Science contacted Liu Yushan in his personal capacity.They were very interested in Liu Yushan's view that "the mutated gene of the sentinel guide hides the code of family inheritance", and strongly invited Liu Yushan to enroll in a foreign university that has scientific research connections with Joffrey.

The letter was seen by Nie Cai.In the dormitory, Liu Yushan has the right to use everything, including the computer.

Nie Cai was very interested in the family inheritance of mutated genes, and asked Liu Yushan to produce a paper for him to read carefully.Liu Yushan's thesis mainly used a British family with the phenomenon of spiritual body inheritance as an argument, and Nie Cai read it with gusto.

"It's really interesting for you to do research." Nie Cai asked, "What kind of genes in us will be passed on to the next generation?"

"This needs more scientific proof." Liu Yushan replied, "We don't know yet."

Nie Cai stroked his chin and thought: "...Did you read the news yesterday? In the rainforest of the Amazon River Basin, someone found the skeleton of a sentinel more than 30 meters high. Will there really be such a big sentinel in the world? Will our children and grandchildren change?" Is it like that?"

Nie Cai thought for a while and then said, "Do you think the sentinel guides are the most powerful humans on earth? If every sentinel guide is a giant in the future, then those half-zombies, underground people, stinking rotten things, no Can they all be trampled to death by us?"

He laughed gleefully, obviously amused by the thought.

"...Do you think Sentinel Guide is the strongest?" Liu Yushan asked.

Nie Cai nodded without hesitation: "Of course. Do you know the Yuanxing Club?"

Liu Yushan nodded.

"The job of the Far Star Society is to search for and protect rare and special human beings. I must apply to join when I go to university." He flipped through his thesis with a smile on his lips, "I'd like to see if there is anyone in the world who is better than our sentinel guides. More useful special humans."

Liu Yushan responded flatly: "You have plans for the future."

"Why don't I just do this project and discuss the possibility of Sentinel Guide's ultimate evolution." Nie Cai continued to browse the paper, and said casually, "Scientist Liu, what do you think?"

Liu Yushan didn't answer right away, he was staring at Nie Cai's profile.Among his peers, Nie Cai is undoubtedly handsome, and his personality also makes his handsome appearance more attractive.Liu Yushan stared at him for a while, the chill crawled from the back of his neck to his scalp.At that moment, his scalp was numb, and a thought was like a sudden lightning, lighting up his entire sea area.

"...Are you dumb?" Nie Cai turned to look at him, "Remember, you can't pretend you didn't hear me when I was talking to you."

The black cat that had been lying on Liu Yushan's desk raised its paw, and gently scratched the back of Nie Cai's hand.This is Nie Cai's favorite action, he will become a little calmer because of this, and sometimes it can even save Liu Yushan from a so-called punishment.

Liu Yushan knew that he was very excited now, that weird, terrifying but exciting thought crazily occupied his mind.All his movements, expressions and words must be driven by that thought.

"The possibility of final evolution..." Liu Yushan's voice trembled, and he grabbed Nie Cai's arm, "Nie Cai! This is the possibility of the Sentinel Guide's final evolution!"

Nie Cai seemed to be looking at a monster: "What are you talking about?"

"Giant sentries and guides! This is the direction of our evolution!" Liu Yushan was very excited, "Sentries and guides are superior to other human beings. It is possible for us to evolve into giants, occupying more resources, acquiring more land, and Greater lethality and the ability to compete for resources."

"You're crazy, Sentinel guides are atavistic."

"Who said that? Because we have a vomeronasal organ?" Liu Yushan sneered, "Nie Cai, mutations may occur in biological evolution. We have all seen mathematical models, haven't we? We are ancestors, so what if we have a spiritual body? Isn’t this a proof that we are better than ordinary humans?”

The black cat's tail also wrapped around Nie Cai's arm, and its head nestled against his arm, rubbing gently.

Nie Cai didn't pay attention to the black cat's movements, he was engrossed in listening to Liu Yushan's words.

"Have you forgotten about punctuated balance? Explosive evolution has happened more than once in the evolutionary history of creatures." Liu Yushan lowered his voice, "Nie Cai, why can't we be the product of mutation? Why is the sentinel guide not human evolution? Herald?"

A dispute did not make Nie Cai believe Liu Yushan's words.Liu Yushan began to collect information on the biological mutations that occurred in marginal areas, the research documents on the spiritual body of sentinels that were once regarded by scientists as a sign of human super-evolution, the related research on the spiritual body and human brain by foreign "maritime studies", and the spiritual body. The family inheritance is also enough to show that the existence of sentinel guides is not an accidental atavism, but a continuous and evolving evolutionary process.

"...Is this true?" Rao Xinghai was taken aback by what he said, "The sentinel guide...is a super-evolved human?"

Liu Yushan looked at him in surprise, and after a while, he burst into hysterical laughter.

"Of course it's false!" He laughed so hard that tears came out, "This is an argument that has already been denied, and it's a complete misconception!"

He hugged his black cat, shaking his shoulders violently from laughing.

"...This is very interesting, isn't it?" Liu Yushan finally raised his head, his eyes hidden under the glasses sparkled, "I made Nie Cai go in a completely wrong direction and wasted my whole life."
