Chapter 41: Maybe the legend is true
Li Zhen thought for two seconds, then raised his head: "Maybe the perpetrator got the exact information about the legend of Chiyou out of nowhere, and then went to rob the tomb?" But if it's a tomb robbery, it shouldn't choose to kill - and by such means. If the case of the Imperial Aunt Mound can be understood as the old man blocking their white spoon wealth...... The behavior after that looked like a demonstration. ”
Dai Bingcheng nodded slightly, but was obviously not satisfied. He tapped his finger on the tabletop: "You're thinking from an ordinary perspective. But none of the cases we are concerned about are ordinary cases, so you should be bold in your thoughts in the future. It doesn't matter if it's empty. But it's not your fault, Bi Jing still has some information that you don't know very well. Now you go down and the password is 77498. ”
Li Zhen clicked to turn the page according to his words, and then found that a password input box popped up on the screen. He typed in that string of numbers...... Then he saw something that interested him quite a bit.
Something about the skeleton.
Dai Bingcheng said slowly as he checked the information: "The skeleton you first encountered in the cave, we named it 'Adam'. But then we found out that this nomenclature may be quite inexact - it is clearly written in the sources. ”
And Li Zhen has already learned the answer from the information.
The North Courtyard did a genetic test of the skeleton. To my surprise...... The results of genetic identification are also unclear. Because on its body, the dye sè body related to xìng is "XXXX".
The normal male xìng dye sè body is XY, and the normal female xìng is XX.
However, there may also be some special variations such that a female xìng has only one X-stained body, which is XO. There is also the possibility of XXY or XYY.
But in either case, this entry will show a more obvious second xìng sign, which can be accurately classified as "male xìng" or "female xìng".
But this kind of "XXXX" dyeing sè body is not expected.
Perhaps in order to make "laymen" like Dai Bingcheng understand more intuitively, the information is explained in detail.
It is generally believed that the "Y dyeing sè body" that determines the male xìngxìng did not exist 300 million years ago. At that time, the xìng of living things was determined by many external factors, such as temperature. Today's sea turtles, crocodiles, and other creatures still retain this feature. In the incubation stage, if the temperature is too high or too low, it will determine whether the male or female will break out of the shell later.
However, in the long years that followed, the X-dyed sè body changed, and finally the Y-dyed sè body that can now be used to decide to feed the animal xìng is different.
So after discovering this anomaly, the research staff thought it was a little incredible.
But even more incredible is yet to come.
The ice in which the bones were sealed contained a lot of debris, and according to the results of the measurements of the debris, it is believed that they were trapped in the ice for a ...... 15,000,000 years ago.
Li Zhen let himself count three times, and finally he could be sure that the number was, fifteen million.
He couldn't help but raise his head and look at Dai Bingcheng: "One thousand...... Five million years ago? Make no mistake, right? ”
Dai Bingcheng nodded: "I confirmed it with them." ”
Earliest Classification ...... Australopithecus suppers only existed 5 million years ago, right? And that thing...... Fifteen million years ago?? Or at least 15 million years ago!!
Li Zhen took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and continued to look down.
Genetic testing also revealed that the skeleton was indeed related to the modern classification. It can even be said that it is not only the ancestor of modern classification, but also the ancestor of Australopithecus, the "ancestor of modern classification".
If this conclusion is merely true, it is only a record of at least 10 million years of classified history.
But that guy seems destined to subvert all the perceptions of the researchers at the North Academy - it has not only complete genes in its body, but also complete genes for birds and reptiles. This means that it can be seen not only as an ancestor of the species, but also as an ancestor of birds and reptiles!
Li Zhen remembered what Teacher Zhou from the North Courtyard had said to him at this moment-"You, me, and her gene chain may also have complete genes of birds and reptiles—or fragments that can develop into the complete genes of their white spoons, but now they are dormant." ”
And he just knows what this information says...... Did you say something like that?
The next information looks more like a tale - it even makes Li Zhen feel a little chill on his body.
The skeleton of Adam, which had been frozen for fifteen million years, showed a startling appearance of life in the biological chamber - a very small number of cells in the honeycomb-like structures of his skeleton were still dormant. As soon as it comes into contact with the nutrient solution, it immediately awakens and becomes vibrant.
In just three short years since returning to China from Africa, the skeleton was able to make some slight movements, such as shaking its fingers and shaking its head slightly. By the time the convoy tried to transport it to the northern base, it could even try to slap the bulkhead with its big spur-covered hands—a sight that terrified everyone in the room.
If it weren't for the fact that they were both capable people, they would feel that those legends had become a reality: there were indeed zombies and ghosts in the world!
However, even with an ability...... Or psionic energy to explain - what is the origin of this guy?
Li Zhen felt a cold sweat oozing from his back. He glanced at Dai Bingcheng.
I found that the other party was also looking at me.
"Familiar?" Dai Bingcheng looked at him, "It's because your past is similar to it that we want you to join the Secret Service Office so much." One is still alive after fifteen million years, and the other is able to come back from the dead after the whole body decays - Li Zhen, you are indeed too important. So, now that you've seen these materials, you might as well think about it again: What do these have to do with the Chiyou Tomb? ”
Chiyou Tomb ...... If the legend is true, then the nature buried in the tomb of Chiyou is Chiyou.
The legend also mentions that Chiyou was buried by a split body. The reason for the dismemberment was - the fear that he would come back from the dead.
A bolt of lightning streaked through Li Zhen's mind. He felt that the vague speculations and premonitions in his mind before were suddenly connected.
However...... Is this true?
Even if, as Dai Bingcheng put it, the imagination of the "unbridled horses" is used to explain this incident...... Isn't that ridiculous?!
In other words, the legend that Chiyou will "resurrect" may actually be true. The Yellow Emperor divided Chi You's body, not to vent his anger, nor to hit the morale of the enemy.
Rather, it is true, and the fear that he will be resurrected!
——On the premise that the so-called "Chiyou" is the same as the skeleton.
Or...... Chiyou is himself more than 4,000 years ago? He has the same abilities as himself?
No, no, no...... The first capable ones appeared 200 years ago...... Li Zhen frowned. But if it is said that the earliest capable person was born 200 years ago, what about the bones? It can also be considered classified...... Leave those questions aside.
Then under the premise that "Chiyou is the same kind of skeleton" - the identity of the murderer is revealed.
Is...... Adam.
In this way, the unconscionable behavior of the general general behavior of the "tomb robber gang" is perfectly explained. A powerful being who once dominated one side fifteen million years ago certainly wouldn't think of "hiding his whereabouts". Like a classmate trying to find something from an anthill, does he care how many ants he kills?
This idea came out of his life, and Li Zhen immediately clicked a few times on the page, found a search bar, and then typed in the word "Chiyou".
Sure enough, the result of the search was - the image of Chi You: "Beginner's Notes" Volume 9 quotes "Returning to Tibet? Qi Zheng "cloud: Chi You came out of amniotic fluid, eight humerus and eight toes were sparse, and Jiu Nao was climbed to cut down the empty mulberry, and the Yellow Emperor killed it in Qingqiu.
Later, the "Dragon Fish River Map" ("Taiping Yulan" volume 78 citation) clouds: "The Chiyou brothers entered eighty-one times, and the beast body entered the language, the copper head and iron forehead, and the sand and stones were eaten."
"Narrative of Differences" cloud: Chi You "eats iron stones", "enters the body of the cow's hooves, four eyes and six hands, ears and temples like swords and halberds, and the head has horns".
Li Zhen noticed the words "copper head and iron forehead" and "head with horns" - the previous explanation for this was that Chiyou was wearing bronze armor and was therefore regarded as a monster by the insiders.
But...... Think of the bones, the bronze bones, the hideous bone spurs on the body!
- They must be of the same kind!!
And those descriptions such as "entering the body of the cow's hooves" and "four eyes and six heads" - in the past, Li Zhen thought that the ancient people deified Chiyou. But in today's view...... Isn't it normal for a creature with such a huge amount of genetic information in its body to behave abnormally in some appearances, or even fall out of the category of classification?!
Therefore, Li Zhen raised his head in shock, and felt that there was a thousand hairs in his mouth.
That is to say...... Chiyou, and Adam, are the same creature. Adam...... Wanted to resurrect him. He felt like he was saying it like a joke. But he couldn't laugh anyway.
Dai Bingcheng nodded.
"Not bad. This is also the white spoon inference of experts. So after coming to this conclusion, most of them have already set off this morning. ”
"Go? Did we find it? Li Zhen was slightly stunned.
The matter between himself and the skeleton has not yet been known. Both resonances triggered the infinite potential in his body and benefited him a lot. The first time made him completely fuse the power of the "electric eel", and the second time, according to Li Zhen's recent feelings, the strength in his body seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.
Not only can it last longer after being scaled, but in terms of strength, it can even fight against the B-rank body enhancer who cares about it without falling behind.
He attributes it all to a second resonance between the two. For such an existence, Li Zhen really doesn't know whether he is friend or foe.
If you were to say that it was an enemy, if it weren't for it twice, you might have died a long time ago. And I really felt the breath from the other person's body. If I had to describe it, it would be...... The feeling of being alone on an island for decades when one enters another class.
To say that it is a friend...... Li Zhenke still vividly remembers the scene when they first met. The skeleton seemed to be absorbing something from him! At that time, his body seemed to be coerced by some kind of great coercion, and the heat and vitality were pouring into his body like a landslide and tsunami, and there was only fear in his subconscious.
He pinched his thumb silently, forcing himself to compose.
He didn't want to get into any knowledge of this matter.
Once upon a time, he was an able-bodied person, and he was afraid of being seen as an anomaly, and he was afraid of being treated as an outlier. But now he had finally found his own group and settled down.
However, what should you do if you finally find out that you are still an "outlier" in this so-called "race"?
The second time was the skeleton who found himself on its own initiative, right? What does it want from itself?
Dai Bingcheng was also watching him. However, Li Zhen disguised his emotions very well, so he naturally didn't know that there was another reason for the shock of the young man on the other side.
So Dai Bingcheng shook his head: "Didn't find Adam." However, he found the last place suspected to be the tomb of Chiyou. After the previous hypothesis was proposed, we mobilized real experts to investigate and demonstrate, and finally believed that in the southwest of Hubei Province, in the Enshi Grand Canyon in the Shennongjia Mountains, it was the last place for Chiyou to bury his bones. ”
"If it was really Adam collecting Chiyu's stump, then whatever it was for, it would eventually get there. So we'll wait for it there. ”
Li Zhen couldn't help but ask: "That's just a hypothesis - what if it's not there?" If...... In fact, the bones of those Americans who came into the United States to collect Chiyou at night? ”
Dai Bingcheng's face finally showed some approval. He smiled and nodded, "Not bad." You've finally jumped out of the blind spot of my guided thinking. I've been wondering when you're going to get suspicious of the U.S. in. ”
"But you don't have to worry about that. In fact, it is not accurate to call them the United States. That's supposed to be a bunch of ...... The scum composed of three religions and nine streams. He accentuated his tone, "But after the Pingyang incident, this group of people was targeted to death by us, and they still have no time to protect themselves, let alone make such a big move." ”
As for Adam's whereabouts, it is equally certain. Because Adam was moving in the direction of Hubei, as we thought. ”
It's not hard to find Adam's course of action, especially with a department like the Secret Service that has a sizable amount of resources at its disposal. Summarizing the homicides and sabotage incidents in various places, it will eventually be found that several vicious murders occurred in the direction of Henan from Zhili in the previous few years. The bodies of the deceased were mutilated, and most of them were killed in the mountains.
In Zhili and Henan, two more fertilizer factories had major fires, and the warehouses were seriously damaged. Experts at the North Courtyard believe that Adam stumbled upon this high-energy chemical fertilizer when he was passing through the area, and then tried to use it to replenish his own energy.
There's even a very blurry surveillance footage - the huge figure that came out of the raging fire must be it.
After hearing all this, Li Zhen fell silent.
In fact, he was a little unclear about why Dai Bingcheng would spend so much time communicating with him. It stands to reason that you should hand over the information to yourself and then assign the task directly, right?
So he put the information in his hand on the table, and then asked, "Director, am I also going on a mission?" ”
Dai Bingcheng put away the cardboard, turned the computer screen back, and shook his head: "I called you here today just to explain these things to you, so that you can understand more - because your identity is more special." It is not close from Hunan to Enshi, and according to its previous speed, it will take at least half a month. One group had already entered the past, and another group had tried to intercept it halfway. It's always good to have a smaller loss. Bi Jing ...... It's all fate. ”
Li Zhen agrees with this sentence. I can't help but feel some warmth in my heart - it seems that this Director Dai is not as ruthless as he remembers.
"But you also have to be prepared, if you can't stop it, or if it's hard to deal with now, you still need to get in and out." Dai Bingcheng nodded at him, "Any more questions?" ”
Li Zhen scratched his head in a way that he wanted to get used to. However, when he thought of the uniform on his body, he immediately gave up this plan. He thought for a moment and said, "There's a problem. Because I didn't know much about the situation before, I don't know if there will be some confidential information involved......"
Dai Bingcheng interrupted him: "Say." It's good to be willing to think. ”
So Li Zhen said: "What I want to ask is, the United States has entered the ...... Hmm, how did those people go to China to do that? I read the news a while ago that we were conducting military exercises in the Pacific Ocean because of the Pingyang incident, right? But if it's because of the bones......"
"It's not worth it compared to the national interest, right?" Dai Bingcheng smiled again, "If you don't understand this, I don't blame you." Because the background is more complicated. The reason why I said just now that they are not considered to be in the United States is because of this reason. ”
"In fact, the Binh Duong incident was dominated by the 'Gate of Truth'. It was a North American alliance of competers, not an official American one. SAA, in our white spoon words, is a start. ”
"O?" Li Zhen was a little surprised, "SAA has 'given a hand' to a capable organization? ”
"That's right. So to speak. Dai Bingcheng thought about it for a while and looked up at him, "Let me ask you first, who do you think is in power in the United States?" ”
Li Zhen was a little puzzled by this sudden question. But still 1rì replied: "American zhèngfǔ bar." President of the United States. ”
Dai Bingcheng was silent for a while: "Think again." What about behind them? ”
Li Zhen really never considered this question. In fact, neither in the past nor in the year before, he had no opportunity or need to think about such a problem. Those things at the national level, in his opinion, were naturally controlled by a group of political leaders who called for wind and rain, what kind of heart did a small person like himself have?
However, at this moment, Dai Bingcheng looked at him with burning eyes, so that he had to calm down and carefully recall some of the things he had heard before.
But those things were never taken seriously before, purely as stories.
He straightened his thoughts a little and said tentatively, "Yes...... Yur into? ”
He thought that what was waiting for him would be a negative answer, but he found that Dai Bingcheng nodded slightly: "It's not that I don't know anything." Much stronger than when I was my age. ”
Li Zhen had to smile embarrassedly.
"That's right, Jurchen." Dai Bingcheng restrained his smile, "After World War II, many people moved to the United States and quickly controlled the economic lifeline of the United States. So now it's not so much the president who runs the United States, but a few big families who run the United States. And the behind-the-scenes bosses of the 'Gate of Truth', these few Yur members of the family are counted as one. ”
"A copy? So what are the others? ”
"The Four Horsemen of the Gate of Truth—does that name sound familiar?" Dai Bingcheng looked at him.
Li Zhen knows this. He honestly replied, "The Bible says it." When the final judgment comes, God will send the Four Horsemen to destroy the Kind. ”
"So there's the European side." Dai Bingcheng smiled, "This organization can be regarded as a single-handedly held by the Western world. They have their own goals, so sometimes, when they conflict with the interests of certain countries, as long as they think it is worth it, they will do it. ”
Li Zhen was a little difficult to accept for a while. Because in his old impression...... The most powerful should be the zhèngfǔ department and state institutions, right? However, Dai Bingcheng told him that in fact, several families controlled such a country.
He frowned: "But in this case, wouldn't those families be able to betray the interests of the country for the sake of their own family interests?" ”
Dai Bingcheng nodded meaningfully and said slowly: "That's true." Because of the interests of a certain group, to the detriment of the interests of the country. ”
He seemed to be waiting for Li Zhen to say something. However, Li Zhen finally just said softly: "Then, I have no problem." ”
"Hmm." Dai Bingcheng sighed, "That's good." ”
He hesitated for a moment, and then said, "You can properly disclose this matter to Zhang Kesong." I heard that she found Long Haoyao that night - she did a good job. This time, if necessary, she may be used again. It's good to let her prepare in advance. ”
Li Zhen was slightly stunned, then clenched his fists again, and was about to say something, but Dai Bingcheng laughed: "What? Lose sleep over something? I mean, if necessary. Bi Jing has not been trained yet, so she is just prepared. When that time comes, it will not be possible to get her too close to the front line. You're a kid, just a few years old to learn this little bit of thought. Okay, Second Lieutenant Hu Yanling is still waiting for you at the training ground, you should hurry up and familiarize yourself with our white spoon standard firearms during this time. It's better than nothing. ”
So Li Zhen didn't want to say anything more. He could only get up from his chair, salute, and turn and walk out the door.
And Dai Bingcheng watched him until the door was gently closed, and then he withdrew his gaze.
Then he sighed slightly.
This kid...... It doesn't seem to be as stunned as I imagined.
It wasn't like I really didn't understand what I was referring to.
