Fort Hayes State University in the central region of the United States is located in the city of Hayes with a population of less than 30,000.

A month ago, Pan Tianyi came to this university, nervous and serious, and quickly adapted to the new life on campus.

Outside the campus, under an apartment building, a white car was parked, which Pan Tianyituo had bought from a graduating senior. At this time, he was wearing a pair of sunglasses and a light gray casual suit, ready to meet someone.

Before leaving, he dialed the other party's phone, and his sweet and handsome face was suddenly stunned, Han Yuting informed her of the news of her mother's return, although the truth was unexpected, he was still full of expectations, hoping to leave a good impression on his mother-in-law.

The white car started and drove merrily through the church next to the school towards the Wheat Plains.

The first time I met my girlfriend was a month ago, and today is the weekend, so it's a good time to meet my girlfriend.

However, he frowned, and was in a worried mood, and had to face his future mother-in-law......

When Pan Tianyi first came to the United States, Han Yuting learned the news and rushed to Los Angeles International Airport as soon as possible to pick up the wind and wash the dust for him. And take him to a villa in a small town in Ann Arbor, Michigan, for a romantic evening.

At this time, Han Yuting stood in front of the window, and her longing heart was pounding. Through the bright red begonia flowers, she saw a white car, which slowly stopped in front of the villa.

Jingle bells, a doorbell rings.

"Brother Tian, you're here!"

The white-lacquered wooden door was opened, revealing a fair-skinned and handsome face. I saw Han Yuting wearing a pink belly shirt, walking forward with a light gait, and quietly threw herself into his arms.

"Yu Ting, I really miss you if I haven't seen you for a few days!"

Pan Tianyi was carrying a fruit bag and boxed women's high heels, but he didn't have time to wipe the sweat on his cheeks, and he was stunned at the door by her. Then he put down his belongings, and took her tightly in both hands, kissing her like dry wood.

A year of separation has not diluted the feelings between each other. When they met again, the two of them captured the kind of longing and tacit understanding that are difficult to express in words more keenly through telepathy.

"Ting'er, come in quickly!"

A well-groomed middle-aged woman, standing inside the curtain of the villa, looked out and shouted her daughter's name dissatisfied.

She is Professor Han Yun, who returned to the University of Michigan to continue teaching and research after completing her archaeological research from Copán, Honduras a week ago.

Han Yuting led Pan Tianyi into the house, and the exquisite chandelier emitted a warm yellow light, illuminating the beige walls around it.

"Hello aunt!"

With a smile on his face, Pan Tianyi bowed and nodded at Han Yun in front of him without a trace of expression.

Han Yun looked critically at her daughter's boyfriend from top to bottom with her harsh gaze. I saw Pan Tianyi wearing a gray casual suit and a pair of metal black-rimmed glasses, looking at the smooth and clean wooden floor with trepidation.

Then, with a cold snort, she walked into the kitchen and began to prepare lunch.

Seeing her mother's indifferent and disgusted look, Han Yuting pouted and walked up to him helplessly, signaling him to sit on the sofa and rest first.

"Mother-in-law looks so unhappy today!"

Pan Tianyi's eyebrows furrowed, and he whispered aggrievedly, "Isn't there something I haven't done well enough?" ”

"Okay, don't think about it!"

Han Yuting took his arm, comforted him softly, and stared at him fiercely, those beautiful eyes that could talk seemed to convey the love and vows of the past.

Pan Tian looked at her with a knowing understanding and nodded in response, so that he made up his mind to try to pass his mother-in-law's test.

After lunch, Pan Tianyi took Han Yuting's little hand, entered the cubicle and lay on his side, urging her to try on the shoes he bought for her.

At this time, Han Yun took the mop and quietly walked into the side bed, deliberately dragging Pan Tianyi's feet around. Thinking that the young man was too impulsive, and that the relationship was progressing too fast, he had to test them severely, and hinted with a blank face:

"Young man, you are all still young, studying hard and working hard is your primary duty and mission!"

Pan Tianyi grinned dryly: "Aunt is right, I will definitely study hard!" ”

Then, Han Yun glanced at Pan Tianyi coldly, and said to his daughter who was trying on white high heels: "These white high heeled sandals are not suitable for you, you better let Pan Tianyi return them!" ”

"Brother Tian, the shoes I bought with my heart fit very well and look good!"

Han Yuting was shocked when she heard this, and looked at her mother with a pleading gaze. Then she took graceful steps and clicked back and forth on the wooden floor to show her mother that she really liked the high-heeled sandals.

Pan Tianyi looked at the mother and daughter in a panic, and in the face of his mother-in-law's dissatisfaction and difficulties, he endured it bitterly. Low self-esteem and loneliness quickly hit the body, making the good mood suddenly turn into a boulder and quickly fall to the bottom of the lake. When I think of my poor and backward background, and compare Han Yuting who lives in a mansion, I really feel like a toad wants to eat swan meat.

Unconsciously, he strongly suppressed the tears of grievance that were about to flow, and then calmly faced his mother-in-law.

"I'm sorry! Mother-in-law, there is still a paper exchange class in the school the day after tomorrow, and I will leave first. ”

As soon as Pan Tian finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the door of the living room, and Han Yuting hurriedly caught up.

"I should say I'm sorry, I originally wanted to surprise my mother, but I didn't expect things to turn out like this!"

Han Yuting held his wrist tightly and motioned for him to stay here tonight, "The sky is overcast, and it looks like it's about to rain heavily, so it's better to stay." ”

Pan Tianyi stood at the door for a short time, thinking that it would take three or four hours to drive here to get here, and he didn't want to be in such a gloomy hurry to return.

He looked at Han Yuting, then at the living room door behind her, and tried to ask:

"Really?"

"You can live in a side sleeper, and it's always empty anyway." Han Yuting nodded and smiled.

"Learning tasks are more important!"

Han Yun walked out elegantly and dignifiedly, with a disproportionate harshness and dissatisfaction on his face, holding the fruit bag he bought, "These fruits are very nutritious, it's a pity that we don't eat them often, you better take them back and solve them yourself!" ”

"No, no, aunt, keep it! This fruit is beautifying and prolonging life. I bought it for you! ”

Pan Tian said as he stepped back, if he didn't leave, wouldn't he have to carry the things that were delivered to the door and get them back by himself.

It's impossible.

Pan Tianyi got into the car, stepped on the accelerator without looking back, looked at Han Yuting who was chasing closely in the rearview mirror, and telepathically transmitted a message to her: Han Yuting, you wait, I will come back!

He left the small town of Ann Arbor and drove along a straight road on the plains towards the sparsely populated hills in the distance.

A high volcanic cloud rose from the horizon in the distance, casting a cold shadow on the green earth, and suddenly lightning and thunder and pouring rain quickly covered the speeding cars on the road.

Suddenly, there was a sharp sound of brakes, and the tires rubbed against the ground, leaving long scratches on the asphalt.

Pan Tianyi sat in the driver's seat and broke out in a cold sweat, staring at the vague figure standing in the middle of the road uneasily, the person seemed to have suffered a gunshot wound and was struggling to approach the front of the car.

I saw him wearing a white coat stained with blood and dirt, struggling to tap on the passenger window, and pleading hoarsely into the window.

"Help me! Help me! ”

Before Pan Tian could react, he fainted on the road outside the car in a coma, and his eyes seemed to reveal pain and despair.

Pan Tianyi got out of the car and looked around, but there was no figure or vehicle, and then carefully observed the old man who had fallen to the ground, his wrinkled face with silver-rimmed glasses, and his bald hair became even more disheveled in the wind.

A kind of simplicity and kindness unique to Chinese people made him determined to save this foreigner he had never met.

The light rain in the sky gradually stopped, and the black and oppressive volcanic clouds in the distance slowly dissipated, and the cigar-shaped aircraft hidden in the clouds slowly disappeared into the sky as the white car disappeared.

Pan Tianyi drove a car to a rented single-family apartment outside Ford Hayes State University.

A glass of white milk was poured into a clear glass, and Pan Tianyi placed it on the coffee table next to the balding white-haired stranger. The stranger stood up on his elbows and sat up from the couch in pain.

"Thank you for saving me! I'm Professor Parker! ”

The strange old man's haggard and shriveled face squeezed out a smile of rebirth, "What do friends in the East call you?" ”

"My name is Pan Tianyi! Be a transfer student at a nearby university! ”

Pan Tianyi looked at him suspiciously and vigilantly, "Why did you appear alone in the wilderness and suffer a slight gunshot wound?" ”

"It's a hellish place out of morality and civilization, and I was chased by mercenaries and escaped!"

Professor Parker suddenly interrupted his communicating thoughts, frowned and kindly reminded, "You'd better put away your curiosity about this, the more secrets you know, the more you won't do you any good." ”

Pan Tianyi nodded and smiled knowingly, put away his thoughts to continue asking, took out the coat he hadn't worn for a long time from the closet and handed it to him, pointed to the white coat covered with dirt and blood on his body, and motioned him to change it down.

"Pan, thank you!" Parker took the dark blue coat and happily tried it on.

"Maybe this is fate, I have met a few friends from China who live in Michigan, and I have the opportunity to take you to get to know them."

"Thank you, Professor Parker! I want to meet new people, especially in this strange country. ”

Looking at Parker's sincere and calm eyes, Pan Tian smiled, drank the coffee in his hand, and walked to the window to look at the crowd across the road.

At this time, several strange men in black were wandering on the side of the road, occasionally facing the apartment, casting a watchful gaze.

"See, they're CIA personnel, and I could be captured by them at any moment!"

Professor Parker was now in a state of good spirits, no longer dejected from his injuries, with a helpless expression on his face. While Pan Tianyi was not looking, he inserted a memory card the size of a fingernail into the book on the bookshelf and left a note.

"I'd better get out of here, disturb Pan. But what do you call your English name? ”

“Ra...... Randy！ The drizzle outside the window blew into his throat, and he coughed and read his English name.

“Ra......?” Parker looked at him with a look of horror.

“Randy！” Pan Tianyi repeated.

"Randy, I'm glad to meet you!"

Professor Parker hugged Pan Tianyi and then said goodbye and left.

Two days later, Pan Tianyi walked out of the teaching building of the School of Life Sciences, walked through the pleasant scenery of the campus, and walked alone to the apartment outside the school.

An unfamiliar gaze swept Pan Tianyi's back, and he, who was subconsciously more sensitive, suddenly looked behind him vigilantly, and found that a strange man in a suit turned around and walked into the café next to him.

Pan Tian thought that these people were coming for Professor Parker, and they had little to do with him.

Perhaps, he was too worried, he shook his head and didn't pay attention to it.

As usual, when Pan Tianyi returned to the apartment, he first read a book and then typed the knowledge points into his laptop.

He flipped through the unfinished "History of Civilization" with relish, and a line of text marked by wavy lines came into view:

After the creation of the world was completed, God did not stop his creation activities and continued to shape the world in his own image.

God is still talking and will be with you.

A memory card the size of a fingernail slips inadvertently from a book and falls onto a hardwood board, dancing a graceful waltz.

Pan Tianyi stared at the delicate memory card, on which the nude lines of a human figure stood out. Driven by curiosity, I inserted the memory card into the computer, and a set of unencrypted videos appeared on the computer's desktop.

He was a little hesitant, it seemed a little inappropriate to go directly to the video, and then looked at the note next to him, which prominently read:

For your own safety, remember to keep it secret! Secrecy! Secrecy!

Don't be shocked when you go through the footage. For your own safety, please keep it confidential! And to pass it on to my trusted friend Professor Han Yun, address Michigan XXX, thank you very much!

Pan Tianyi quietly turned on the silent image and watched with bated breath.

In an enclosed underground biological laboratory, an anesthetized disabled soldier lies on a cramped operating table, wearing an oxygen breathing mask, his blue pupils staring at the white light above. The white-coat man next to him checked his blood pressure device, turned on the chainsaw and cut his mutilated calf, then took out an intact limb from the glassware filled with liquid, and stitched him up and reattached it......

This video seems to be ordinary enough to attract his attention, then the following video will definitely cause him to tremble.

In the same biology lab, Professor Parker stood in front of the operating table in a large white coat in fear, and a gorilla was struggling in pain as he broke through the entire Heavenly Court Skull.

Two fierce soldiers next to him were armed with guns, and a man who was trembling violently with fear around him was tied up. He was then injected with anesthetic drugs and lay motionless on the operating table, listening to the shrill screams of the gorilla next to him. Next, his fate will be cut open like a gorilla, and the brain swap test experiment between humans and animals will be carried out.

A pistol is pointed at Professor Parker's temple, and a muscular man in black is seen in the video: "Do as I say immediately, or your wife or children will be lying there!" ”

......

The video cuts again, and Professor Parker slumps into the lab, his face full of pain and anger.

Behind him, in the tall, empty laboratory, there were rows of glass vats containing human brains or modified bodies, and of course, modified bodies of animals. These two-person cultivation tanks, densely packed, were erected in rows on the ground, stretching to the end of the dark corridor.
