Chapter 1 He's Not a Monster
Shen Yisheng's eyes, which always contained frost, glanced at the people in front of him.
On the ground were a mess of clothes, half-drunk beer bottles that fell on the Persian blanket and flowed slowly, and a large crowd of indulgent men and women.
He pursed his thin lips and stood up from the sofa, extremely tall, half a head taller than the man next to him.
"Hey, Professor, where are you going?" The man was so drunk that his eyes narrowed into a slit.
Shen Yisheng glanced at the center of the dance floor and said, "Bathroom." ”
"Oh......" the man muttered, "then go back quickly, we have another event to do......"
The words fell, and the bulky body fell back to the sofa.
Shen Yisheng nodded his head and walked in the direction pointed by the sign, he took a big step, and came to the door of the bathroom in a few clicks, just ...... In front of the washstand in front of the bathroom, a woman in a long red tight dress was lying on her stomach.
Seemingly drunk, she vomited from time to time, and her face looked a little painful.
"Are you alright?" Shen Yisheng took off the checkered handkerchief in the pocket of his suit and handed it to the woman's side.
"Okay, thank you......" The woman turned, unceremoniously took the handkerchief, and fooled her face a few times.
Xu was almost vomiting the wine she had just poured down, she sobered up a lot, looked up at Zhang Yanli's face, and asked, "Professor Shen?" He closed his eyes and said, "Why are you here?" ”
Shen Yisheng didn't speak, his eyes were as cold as ever.
The woman was not annoyed, and the Danfeng eyes with the inside hook and the outside looked to the side, surrounded by drunken people, and the bathroom door was ajar.
The people in there, like her, were lying on the edge of the toilet and spitting.
She let out an "oh", and then used her fingers coated with dankou to touch his smooth chin, but Shen Yisheng naturally avoided it.
"I forgot, it's the bathroom......" she chuckled softly.
Shen Yisheng pursed his lower lip and said, "Director, it's past 1:30 in the morning, and it's time to go back to the laboratory." ”
"I won't go back, if you want to go back, go back yourself." The woman casually threw the handkerchief into the garbage basket beside her, straightened her back, and walked to the side, the light pouring on her short blond hair, and her back looked very beautiful.
Shen Yisheng still didn't have any expression, and looked down at the mechanical watch on his wrist - 01:35.
When she walked out of the club door, Yin Xiaowan was still guarding the door, the weather had been cooler recently, and it was a little cold at night.
She rubbed her hands, let out a white breath, and when she saw Shen Yisheng coming out, she hurriedly stepped forward, "Professor, go back?" ”
"Well, let's go."
has always said little, but as Yin Xiaowan expected, she hurriedly followed.
Yin Xiaowan drove the aircraft to a distance of two or three meters away from Shen Yisheng, flashed the light twice, and motioned for him to come up.
Shen Yisheng's appearance was cold, there was a cold air in his eyebrows and eyes, and when he didn't speak, he looked very serious.
Such a person may not be what she thinks......
Yin Xiaowan frowned and lowered her head, and the hand on the console slipped down unconsciously.
She was shocked, cold sweat broke out instantly, and she quickly put her hand on it again.
But it was too late, the system kept turning on the red light, and the cold mechanical voice prompted over and over again: "Aircraft A356 is about to pass through this route, and there are still five, four, and three seconds left in the time......"
A flying machine will pass through this flight path!
At this moment, a pair of slender hands reached over, and the fingertips continued to click on the electronic screen a few times.
But in the end, it was still a little late, and a modified very fancy flying machine passed in front of him, and just hit the support frame of the aircraft that Shen Yisheng and they were on, the aircraft vibrated violently, and a snowflake flashed on the electronic screen.
After the shaking, the craft finally stopped, and everything returned to its original state.
Yin Xiaowan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the obviously different clouds outside the window.
She picked the clasp on her hand and remembered something: "Professor, that new "thing" looks so strange. ”
The skin on the top and bottom of his body is rough, and he is not small, which is strange no matter how you look at it.
Shen Yisheng retracted his gaze, his bony fingers were staggered on his knees, and said, "It's a strange creature from another planet, and there is no clue yet, so when you check it, be careful." ”
Speaking of that strange alien creature, Shen Yisheng couldn't help but admonish, "That creature seems to have self-awareness." ”
Self-aware? Yin Xiaowan felt a little incredulous.
After all, they had studied so many alien creatures, and they had never seen such a "thing" that would be self-aware.
If she has the opportunity in the future, she must follow behind the teacher and study it carefully.
In the middle of the air in the suburbs of the scientific research institute where they worked, not far from it is an aerial farmland, with an area of about several thousand acres, on which a lot of crops are planted, which is completely enough for them to eat on a daily basis.
When the aircraft drove near the farmland in the sky, a huge film glowing with white light appeared in front of their eyes.
The moonlight tonight is good, and the clear light is sprinkled on the white film, and the reflected light is soft like water.
Shen Yisheng docked the aircraft near the landing site set up in the aerial farmland, and said, "Xiaowan, I'll go out and check it, you can wait on it for a while." ”
The plants in the fields in the air are regularly watered and tested by special instruments, and their staff will also go up to check them to avoid the failure of some instruments and cause large-scale plant death.
According to the scheduling time, Yin Xiaowan should come here to check tomorrow.
With a "click", the seat belt on Shen Yisheng's body was automatically released, and he stood up neatly and walked towards the passage.
Yin Xiaowan silently watched him leave in her chair, and her heart warmed - if her teacher was so considerate as Professor Shen, everyone would not say that he was a "Mediterranean monster" behind his back.
The communication device in the pocket shook, and Yin Xiaowan glanced at Shen Yisheng, who had already walked into the white film.
Plug it in, "What's wrong?" ”
On the half screen projected by the communicator, only a brown and yellow object was displayed, and it was not clear to see.
Yin Xiaowan felt strange and asked again: "Who are you, how do you know my communicator ID?" ”
It is impossible to establish contact with another communicator without the ID of the communicator, and this communicator is specially made by their scientific research institute, and it is a new communicator that has not yet been developed and has not yet been marketed, so there is no other person who is also using it.
The things on the screen were moving, Yin Xiaowan actually felt a little familiar, and after asking a few times, no one said, she decisively cut off the communication device, pressed another shortcut key, and tried to talk to Meng Sen who was guarding the scientific research institute.
She seems to have a hunch in her heart, nothing will happen to the scientific research institute, right?!
There are so many materials and samples in the institute, if you lose them like this, I'm afraid everyone will have to go to court-martial!
The communicator beeped, and a screen unfolded in front of him, and it was Monson's youthful face, his dyed blonde hair, fluffy like freshly picked cotton soaked in the sun.
"What's wrong?" Meng Sen's voice was a little lazy, he must have been sleeping just now, and was suddenly woken up by Yin Xiaowan.
Seeing that he was fine, Yin Xiaowan was not so worried, she said, "Have you been in the scientific research institute?" ”
Meng Sen looked at her suspiciously, and said, "Ah, isn't it time for me to be on duty today?" ”
"When you come back, I'm sleepy."
As he spoke, he yawned and looked lazy.
"Professor Shen and I came back first, and they are still playing in the club, so it is estimated that they will not be able to get out until tomorrow morning."
Judging from the background from Monson's side, there was nothing wrong with it.
It should be that I am suspicious, the scientific research is so tightly arranged, how can something happen.
Yin Xiaowan said: "It's okay, I'll ask you, you go to sleep, we'll be there later." ”
Monson snorted and turned to walk towards his lounge.
This guy is really a stinky fart!
If it weren't for Professor Shen, he would have been dragged out in a sack and beaten up a long time ago.
Yin Xiaowan was about to turn off the communicator, but she caught a glimpse of strange footprints out of the corner of her eye.
It was a wide, long footprint, and from the depth of the step, it didn't look like a skinny kid like Monson could step on.
Could it be that thing escaped?
"Monson, go! Don't look back! ”
Yin Xiaowan shouted, and the thought in her mind made her a little creepy now.
But Monson, who was on the screen, walked forward as if he hadn't heard her words at all.
His form didn't change at all, but judging by the mechanical pace, it was clear that something was holding him down.
In a short time, Monson was out of the visible range of the communicator's lens.
Yin Xiaowan hurriedly connected the communication device to other lenses in the scientific research institute, and the familiar figure reappeared.
He's going to a place where alien creatures are being held!
No, if you just let the alien creatures escape, I'm afraid it will pose a huge threat to the ordinary residents here.
Yin Xiaowan activated all the organs set up in the scientific research institute, and assigned tasks to Mimi, "Mimi, send a communication to the little director and tell her that something big is happening in the scientific research institute." ”
She looked nervously at the screen, where the blonde boy was still sluggish and his eyes were wandering.
"Roar!" A rough thing suddenly appeared on the screen, its massive body almost obscuring the camera.
Yin Xiaowan stared at the creature motionlessly, this is the newly transported alien creature.
Professor Shen said that it has self-awareness, and it turns out that it is all true!
The blood in his body seemed to become cold at that moment, and his breathing became more difficult than the next.
No, both she and Monson will die here!
The vision in front of me suddenly became blurred......
Yin Xiaowan was instantly unconscious, and the moment she was about to fall to the ground, she was pulled into her arms by a pair of hands.
"Xiaowan? What happened to you? ”
It was Shen Yisheng who hurried back.
He carefully picked up Yin Xiaowan and stood tall in place, staring at the monster on the electronic screen.
Even after seeing this thrilling scene, Shen Yisheng's face still didn't change much.
Under the fine forehead hair, there were dense beads of sweat, which were caused by his haste to come back just now.
"Professor Shen?" The monster's long, narrow eyes shone with an inexplicable light.
Its voice was full of ruffianism, and it didn't hide the idea that it had consciousness.
Shen Yisheng nodded and said, "It's me." ”
He didn't seem to be afraid of this terrible monster, calmly walked to the side of the rest chair, put Yin Xiaowan, who had been completely unconscious, on it, and fastened his seat belt.
Then, calmly under the gaze of the monster, he drove the aircraft and continued to fly in the direction of the research institute.
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
The monster tilted its head and tossed Monson aside in his hand.
The blonde boy made a "thump" with his head downward, unable to move on the ground.
The monster reached out to touch the camera, and through the reflection of the screen, he could clearly see - a monster covered in rough skin, with long, terrifying eyes.
The monster asked Shen Yisheng, "Why aren't you scared at all?" ”
His tone was windless and waveless, calm as if it were a long-dead animal.
But no one knew how much he expected the man's answer when he asked the question......
He is a human being, a living human being.
And not a monster that only scares others.
