genetics determine me

I asked them to make something for you to eat. "

"Truman... don't go..." I want to cherish the remaining time, and I don't want him to leave me for a moment.

"I won't go, I'll be with you all my life." Truman's smile was still gentle, and I couldn't get enough of it, but I... I may have seen it once less.

Truman stayed with me here all night, during which time I twitched twice. Truman's face looked gloomy as if he was about to kill someone. He had already sent several groups of people to search for Du Mingyuan, but there was no news.

For three whole days, I continued to twitch, lose consciousness, wake up, and twitch again... During this period, I suddenly fell to the ground several times, with bruises on my forehead and body.

After that, Truman kept holding me tightly, not daring to let go for a minute.Later, I suddenly saw several blood marks on his arms, some of which were shallow, and most of them were bloody. He just asked someone to bandage them.

"What's the matter?" I touched his scar, which hurt even more than my own.

"It's nothing. I'm afraid you'll bite your own tongue like you did just now. If you can't find something suitable for a while, then..."

"...You just use your hands?" He actually let me bite his arm to avoid biting his tongue when he twitched.But does he know that I would rather get hurt myself than see him get hurt.

I can't remember how many times I twitched, and even the memory of the most recent period is blurred.Later, my memory began to be confused, and what happened and what didn't happen were all filled in my messy brain.

"Truman, where is this? Why are we here?"

Truman looked at me and said nothing.

"I remember we just looked at the stars in the library. The starlight was so beautiful that day, as beautiful as diamonds. Then we took a nap, and then what happened..."

"It's okay, Xiao Que. We lived together happily afterwards." Truman's smile made me a little sour, and I don't know why.

"No, I remember... I remember someone told me that they wanted your brain tissue slices, and asked me to cooperate with Wang Shortan and your parents, and asked me to give you a glass of water... ...I'm going to operate on you...I'm scared to death, I'm afraid they will hurt you...And then...And then I threw the glass of water on the floor, and I scratched myself with debris, and I also scratched you...Truman, it's very dangerous now, you must be careful of them, especially your parents and Wang Short and the three of them... "

Truman's eyes widened: "Xiao Que, what did you say? You mean... you told me that you wanted to break up with me that day because they wanted my brain tissue? It was my parents and Wang Short and the others. ?So they all disappeared the next day. So, you did it on purpose that day, to protect me?"

I vaguely remember something like this happened, but I don't remember it so clearly.

Truman hugged me: "Xiao Que, I later found out that they were plotting against me, but I didn't know that you... you lied to me that day, you didn't want to break up with me, no Hate me...always thought...I always thought...you didn't...didn't think..."

"Truman, I never lied to you. Except that time. I lied, and I really lied that time."

Truman still hugged me tightly and refused to let go for a minute.Later, he didn't sleep all night, and he thought about it all night. In a daze, I felt that he went out several times, as if he was arranging something.

Chapter 20

Trumen finally found Du Mingyuan, or rather, it was Du Mingyuan who found Trumen.

They found Du Mingyuan in a hot pot restaurant in front of Chumen's house.At that time, he ordered a table of mutton and cooked it by himself.When they pointed a gun at him and wanted to take him away, he only said a word lightly: "You want Wu Que to die, don't you?"

Truman took me back to the villa. Although he knew that I didn't want to go back, Du Mingyuan insisted on meeting there.

When we arrived, Du Mingyuan was drinking tea in the courtyard, his leisurely attitude seemed to be at home.When Truman and I walked over, he actually waved and motioned us to sit down.

"Truman, I can say that I watched you grow up. I am the person who knows you best." Du Mingyuan is indeed qualified to say this. Since Truman was born, he has been in charge of this project for 30 years. In the past [-] years, from the young talents of the company to the gray temples who have been running around for half their lives.

"I am your creator. I have been observing every minute of your life. I have watched you go from childhood to youth and now to a successful career. It can be said that I am very disappointed in your life .”

Truman raised his eyebrows: "What advice do you have?"

Du Mingyuan poured a cup of tea for Truman and me each, and said with a smile, "Every step you take is wrong."

"Why should my life be judged by you?"

Du Mingyuan took a sip of tea: "When the Truman Project was established, you were just a fertilized egg, but almost all the big consortia in the world paid attention to you. Do you know why?"

"why?"

"Because you are their hope."

"Because I was born with perfect genes?"

Du Mingyu laughed dumbfounded: "Do you think you are? For a long time, human beings have been looking for a perfect genotype, which can be free from any disease and has a strong repairing ability. If there is such a genotype, how long will the human life Will be extended to at least three hundred years old.

"Unfortunately, this perfect genotype does not exist at all. Hundreds of companies have studied for many years, and they finally discovered a problem. The more perfect, the more fatal flaws. After gene editing Optimizing people, they have fewer diseases, but their experience of human emotions is becoming more and more superficial.

"That is to say, people's bodies have become stronger, but their emotions have become simpler. Optimizing people's emotions has become less and less compassionate, sympathetic, understanding and love. This is also the reason why this era is becoming more and more cruel. These are still It’s easy to say, but the most deadly point is also the common problem we found in the first and second generation products, that is, the physical state of this product can make the life span reach 30 years, but the life span of the brain is only [-] years.

"How could this be?" Truman and I expressed surprise at the same time.

Du Mingyuan smiled: "Maybe you should ask God, I don't know."

"You are the third generation of experimental products incubated by our company. The previous first and second generation experimental products all failed, but in the third generation, you gave the world hope, and we detected that you are one in a trillion." The probability of 150 is the type closest to the perfect gene. Your body is in excellent condition, there is no possibility of any disease, and the lifespan of your brain has been greatly improved compared with the previous generation. If there is no accident, there will be no problem in [-] years. And the most The most valuable point is that your personality determines that your genes include the possibility of various emotions. However, have you forgotten the rule just now, the more perfect you are, the more fatal flaws you will have.

Truman couldn't help asking: "What defect?"

Du Mingyuan glanced at me, and then said: "This kind of defect does not come from your individual, but from the perspective of evolution.

"We found that your one-in-a-trillion genotype actually determines that you are born gay. From an evolutionary point of view, this is a huge flaw, because the lack of offspring will lead to the extinction of this genotype That is to say, if there is no human intervention, this gene has no possibility of replication at all, and there is no internal driving force for population continuation."

My jaw almost dropped.Truman also looked shocked, and at the same time held my hand tightly.

Du Mingyuan went on to say: "So the Truman Project was launched. At that time, there were two groups of people in the company. One group believed that your sexual orientation could be corrected under the long-term preset environment. The other group believed that it was not the case, and your The brain is undergoing the next step of transformation. And within this project, there are also serious differences.

"This is also the reason why I ran around picking NPCs. I chose a variety of genetically optimized people who do not have homosexual characteristics to be by your side, hoping that they can make you give up this tendency in the environment from childhood to adulthood, so as to achieve the genetic self Replication, that is, the purpose of the infinite continuation of the genotype. And the project also has bugs, I chose him by your side out of a whim."

Du Mingyuan pointed to me, and continued: "He is a person with severe genetic defects, and his life expectancy will not even reach 40 years old, but he has strong characteristics of same-sex attraction. I thought that having such a person as an NPC might cause you The dislike of this kind of feature, but I didn't expect that you still fell in love with him like fate.

"At that time, the two factions in the company had very different opinions. Some people demanded the cancellation of this NPC, but the other part was more radical and demanded that you undergo brain modification. The company considered the opinions of all parties and believed that the brain modification plan was not feasible. Because it is only for individuals, and has no substantial significance for the continuation of the population. The things carried in the genotype will continue from generation to generation. Even if your sexual orientation is changed, your next generation genotype will still follow your old path.

"And the plan to cancel this genetically deficient human NPC was not approved, because even without him, you are still a gay. And the Truman project has been shelved like this, and everyone is observing everything about you, but what happened? How to control variables in one step, no one has a conclusion. So that time seems to be
