Chapter Eighty-Four: The Cold Hair Stands on End
"Do you know about the Dream Kingdom theme park, I just came from there." Song Yingchen leaned against the wall with his hands on his chest, his two long legs straightened forward, like a long airstrip.
"You know, haven't been, is it fun?"
"I'm tired of Disney, and I'm not interested in that kind of pediatric place."
"What are you running for?"
"My mother has to take me there, saying that it is rare to take a vacation to accompany me." He looked around to make sure there was no one around, and lowered the volume, "I thought I liked these things when I was a kid and ......I liked them when I grew up."
"I really think of you as a child."
"The focus is on the back." He suddenly stared at Chiba, indicating that the words that were about to be uttered would be extremely important and not to be known to others, "We entered the paradise, and I wasn't interested in the projects there, so I didn't play anything. Just casually walked around with her, and then went to shoot a few shots. Shoot a gunYou know, is to shoot, biubiubiubi......" he gestured with a pistol.
Chiba frowned suspiciously, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
"To be honest, it's quite boring, at most, it's an upgraded version of the balloon in front of the Cultural Palace when I was a child, and I set up a human-shaped target in front, and if all ten bullets are on the target, I can get a gift."
"I guess you're pretty good."
"Of course." He raised his face proudly, "But my mother is not bad, seven out of ten." Then he put away his proud expression and looked at her with a sigh of relief.
Chiba didn't understand the mystery, and asked blankly, "Just tell me this?" ”
"Do you know how to shoot, the long kind, a rifle."
"No, but I've seen others beat me."
"Here, get your rifle ready to shoot." Song Yingchen commanded, his tone becoming neutral and serious.
"What? Why do you do this, it's stupid. ”
"I didn't mean to tease you, do me a favor, please." He folded his hands in prayer.
"I'm not afraid of teasing, I'm being teased every day anyway...... Is that so? Chiba muttered a few words, posing as if she had the impression of shooting.
"Aim." Song Yingchen ordered.
At this time, there is no one else on the refuge floor, and if there is, you will definitely think that these two people are crazy.
She imagined herself holding a rifle,* over her shoulder, the muzzle of which was aimed at the target, and naturally closed her left eye and aimed it with her right eye.
"Very well, it's okay." Song Yingchen clapped his hands in approval.
Unloading the action, Chiba was confused.
"The posture is also done, the movement is done, what are you trying to tell me?"
"My mom is exactly the same as you were just now."
She shrugged: "And then?" ”
Song Yingchen scratched his neck, and his Adam's apple moved up and down: "What do you say?" ”
"No problem......" Chiba said as she repeated what she had just done.
Song Yingchen suddenly closed her left eye, and she also subconsciously closed her left eye, making a three-point and one-line aim...... In an instant, he realized that his expression changed greatly.
"You mean Aunt Lu is aiming with her right eye?"
Seeing that she finally understood, Song Yingchen let out a breath and nodded.
"Sure. As long as you are not left-handed, most people are used to aiming with their right eye. Besides, this is also determined by the construction of the gun. ”
"Isn't her right eye a prosthetic eye, and the prosthetic eye can see?"
"Not only can I see, but my eyesight is also very good, if it weren't for the weaker strength in my hands, dangling around with a gun, I guess it would be no problem to hit the nine rings and ten rings."
"That's weird, why is this happening?"
"This is also where I am confused, and I can't figure it out." Song Yingchen took a few steps forward, his heavy steps revealing deep uncertainty, "A prosthetic eye can only improve its appearance and prevent lesions in its eye sockets, and it is impossible to have the same vision as a real eye." ”
Obviously inside the building, Chiba felt a gust of wind blowing somewhere, and his legs trembled a little.
"I'm a little scared of ......"
"Don't be afraid, there are no supernatural ingredients, and I don't believe in ghosts, so it makes sense to explain it with medical knowledge. Doctors use technology to reconstruct the retina, restore the function of the optic nerve, and then connect it to the eyeball, and the lens image is projected to the brain. Just ......"
"Just what? Oh, say it, I'm in a hurry. ”
"It's just that the eyeball has to be a real eyeball."
"Ahh Aunt Lu is not pretending to have a prosthetic eye? ”
"Remember when she had surgery? When I went on a road trip, it was not a coincidence, it was deliberately arranged this way in order to avoid me. She didn't change it with an imported prosthetic eye at all, but a living eyeball! ”
"Alive! Which animal has the most human-like eyeball and retains function after transplantation? ”
Song Yingchen stared at her for a moment of silence, and her pupils flashed.
"People."
Chiba gasped and almost fell to the ground.
"This, is this legal?"
Song Yingchen shook his head: "I've only heard of live retina donation, I haven't heard of donating whole eyeballs, besides, this technology is just a laboratory conjecture, there is no clinical case, unless ......"
"Unless it's another channel."
"Yes, organs have always been the focus of the international black market trade, and more than 80 percent of surgeries are performed by underground hospitals. That's why there are a lot of cases of organ theft and trade, and it's been banned repeatedly, because the market is huge. I read a magazine about modern medicine, the author was a neurologist, and then he changed his career to writing columns for many professional magazines, and published a lot of whimsical discussions. He once mentioned that there are many incredible medical technologies that human beings have already broken through, such as tumor treatment. ”
"Then why do so many people still die from tumors?"
"On a certain level, human society needs the existence of a killer like tumors. With the higher and higher material living standards, the life expectancy of modern people has been greatly improved compared with the past, and if even the stubborn disease such as tumor can be easily cured, then as long as there are no accidents, people can live to be more than 150 years old. Think about it, the earth is only so big, and the resources are limited, and people have to live longer and longer, more and more, what will happen to this world? ”
"Explosion! In other words, even if medicine has overcome a certain disease, it cannot be implemented in clinical practice due to macroscopic reasons? ”
"Yes, this is the so-called contradiction between medicine and ethics, between scientific research and clinical practice. Remember cloning, the British experimented on sheep and were opposed and criticized by scientists around the world, so if the experiment was done on people, it would not have caused the Third World War. ”
"But how did Aunt Lu do it?"
"Money can make ghosts grind, and these technologies must quietly serve the rich and powerful in unknown places, and it is impossible for ordinary people to enjoy this kind of welfare."
"So the poor can only wait for death?"
"So to speak. Of course, there are also many heads of state, billionaires who die every year. "But we don't know if the ambiguous and ambiguous reports in the newspapers are true...... I suspect they just changed identities and continued to live in some corner of the world. ”
"Why?" She thought he was too imaginative, and this wild imagination was so convincing.
"First, when their wealth reaches the extreme, they have the idea of retreating to seclusion, but they are objectively not allowed to do so, and they can only create a cover for themselves to fake their death. Second, it is true that he was unfortunately sick and injured, but in order to hide these techniques, he had to be treated secretly, and he had to be incognito after treatment. Recently, there is a guy who is ready to change his head, I saw it on a foreign website, and I believe that he will succeed. ”
"Oh my God, how can there be such a big difference in the fate of people!"
Chiba's heart trembled when she thought of her mother lying in bed for many years like a dead corpse, suffering year after year of suffering and not being able to treat her, but there were already unheard of techniques in the world such as organ replacement, nerve reconstruction, and function restoration.
"Although these technologies are desirable, if you think about it calmly, if you do it all, the world will be chaotic."
"If you don't use it, don't use it, if you continue like this, something will happen sooner or later."
She was excited, and in the blink of an eye, Song Yingchen had a calm expression.
"We don't have to worry about all of humanity, and we can't change anything. Chiba, can you do me a favor? ”
He grabbed her hand, and the seriousness switched to a kind of sincerity.
Chiba's heart twitched and tensed.
"What?"
"Tell me, what the hell is my mom doing behind her back?"
She only felt a flower in front of her eyes and a weakness in her legs.
"What do you mean, how do I know ......"
Song Yingchen took two steps forward and held her hand tightly, which made her even more confused.
"I have a feeling that you must know what she's doing."
Chiba subconsciously wanted to break free of his hand, but the huge force on weekdays was useless at all.
"Me? How could I possibly know what she was doing, Aunt Lu was so busy, I had no contact with her at all. ”
"Just because you don't have a relationship doesn't mean you don't have a relationship." Song Yingchen swallowed his saliva, and revealed the truth of the investigation, "I checked, she put the apartment online for rent at an unrealistically low price, so many people asked and even increased the price, she ignored it, why is it you?" You admit that your mother and she weren't old friends at all......"
"What's so strange about this, it's either me or someone else, there will always be someone renting." In desperation, she could only talk nonsense.
"No, she's waiting. In other words, if it was another person renting a house, I would ask him the same question today. Chiba, tell me, is there still an intermediary between you and my mother? ”
Chiba finally pushed him away and took two steps: "You're too worried, I've already told you before, Aunt Lu and I just want to track down some things......"
"Revenge, huh? So there is an intersection? So she rents a house for you? Song Yingchen was obviously not convinced, "Then what you just said is contradictory, it is impossible for another person to rent a cherry blossom apartment, because not everyone who wants to rent a house has a grudge to seek." My mom has already locked you in, and there is a matchmaker between you. ”
Chiba bit her lip tightly and tasted a fishy and salty taste.
"You and I have been together for so long, can't you still be close to me?"
Song Yingchen's words were like a ray of sunlight crossing the horizon, which instantly sprinkled on her heart. Yes, she was too nervous, too wrapped, too guarded. She should have told him the truth a long time ago, but she chose to hide or even deceive, and then began to regret it, and then there was no turning back, which led to the current predicament.
No matter how much she had, she had to shout her heart out, even if it was in a way that wanted to cover up the ambiguity.
"Don't get me wrong, you're my best friend in Lucheng, of course I'm willing to make friends with you."
These words also touched Song Yingchen, he was very moved, and he was so moved that he wanted to hold her in his arms.
"My father left home when I was very young, and it was not easy for my mother to bring me up alone. She is now making money and her life is better, but she is facing more and more temptations. I know she's tired and tired, for me, for my aunt, and many others. She deserves to be relaxed, happy, and enjoyed, but these are constrained and she can't do whatever she wants. Before, I just guessed that she was in contact with some special people in order to find the murderer of her aunt. But now there is a new situation, and this situation as a son I have to pay attention to. ”
"You're talking about Fifty Shades of Grey?" Chiba asked weakly, like words that he knew hurt but had to speak.
"Did you see it?" Song Yingchen sighed, "Yes, you will understand what I mean when you read it." Tell me, do you know that man, what the hell is he doing? ”
She looked at Song Yingchen, the young man's eyes were like a clear spring, reflecting the light of honesty and impurities.
"The one who made me intersect with Aunt Lu was a woman." She finally told the truth, "Not a man. ”
"Woman, woman, woman......" Song Yingchen smiled bitterly and repeated these two words again and again, disappointed, "How many secrets does she still have to tell me?" ”
"I'm sorry, I'm on Aunt Lu's side on this woman's issue. Not telling you not because of anything else, but because she also wants to protect you and protect you from those things that have to do with hatred. ”
"I know that she never talks about my aunt in front of me, and I know very well what she thinks. But what about that man, are you also on my mother's side? She's playing with fire right now, it's very dangerous, and I can't watch her fall into the fire pit. ”
"I don't know the man you are talking about, and I don't know Aunt Lu, and I am not qualified to talk about this matter, but ......" she said very firmly and honestly, "I will definitely stand on your side." ”
"Thank you. But I'm also interested in the woman you're talking about, after all, it's about my mom. ”
Chiba hesitated slightly and said, "Let me think about it, it's not two or three sentences that can be explained." ”
"Okay, then I'll go to Sakura to find you at night!"
In the face of his persistence, she was restrained. Sending him downstairs, she looked up at the sky, feeling a sense of relief after a sudden enlightenment.
