Twelve months passed in a hurry.

In just about a year, You Ke, who has always been unknown in this well-known human elite university in the world, has single-handedly created a number of records in the history of the whole school.

In the shortest time, it crossed the largest academic performance rankings, ranked first in the school in the most subjects, and had the largest grade difference in the same subject......

Although it cannot be compared with intelligent robots, in the multiple rounds of classical tests of human ability during this period, all the types of questions that assess memory ability can be viewed once as long as they are correct; "Advanced Mathematics", which evaluates logical ability and computational derivation ability, is a perfect score; All three or two languages that assess language ability, such as "Eastern and Western Philosophy" and other courses that assess theoretical level, all ranked first in the school, like the brilliant birth of a new generation of top students.

All this, without the help of any intelligent assisted implants, has not happened for more than 100 years, so you can imagine how excited teachers and students are.

This change came suddenly and without any warning, and soon, without any suspense, these "deeds" of You Ke were like legends, and quickly integrated into the wonderful organic part of campus culture.

But all this is just an interesting conversation after dinner. Due to the overly prominent performance of robots and the decline of human functions, everyone is currently most concerned about their own physiological and psychological feelings, and they have long been indifferent to the occasional lightning of some human individuals across the night sky.

You Ke gradually lost interest in all this, and in order to appear less prominent and become an outlier, he even deliberately made some mistakes in many exams. But even with such good intentions, it is still a long distance away from the team where the second place is located.

Over time, the stories of his top students not only circulated in this school, but also quickly spread to other campuses, more or less even climbing over the walls of the ivory tower and entering the sight of some people or organizations in society.

There are often two kinds of results in the spread of legendary stories in human history, and in most cases, the most widespread one is that the legend itself has a certain particularity or is not very special, and the latecomers spread the story falsely, and the fictional part is far beyond the truth in reality.

The other is extremely rare, the protagonist of the legendary story for any purpose, often tries to keep a low profile, deliberately hiding his whereabouts and deeds, so the legendary story that eventually spreads at the social level is far less wonderful than the real deeds of the protagonist. You Kehui will slowly discover that he, like many famous figures in world history, is not only closely related, but also belongs to the latter.

What everyone doesn't know is that You Ke was immersed in a strange state of excitement during this year, as if he had clockwork. There is a huge, irrepressible, uncontrollable longing, an almost insane longing that erupts randomly and intensively in the depths of the soul like a volcanic eruption.

If it is accurately described, it is a thirst for knowledge, a thirst for not just knowledge, but all knowledge. And his entire body and nervous system are stimulated to a state of high euphoria almost all the time, as if this state is deliberately adjusted in order to absorb knowledge anytime and anywhere.

In fact, during this period of time, those big and small exams were far from being pediatric for You Ke.

Because of his deliberate concealment, what others do not know is that he has begun and carried out in-depth self-study in various comprehensive disciplines at an unimaginable and surprising speed, such as astronomy, world geography, human history, language, ancient and modern humanities, music, painting, politics and economy, etc., these fragmented and explosive amounts of information are pouring towards him like huge waves, and then retreating, and then surging and retreating again.

In linguistics, he can now communicate fluently in all 32 different languages, including an ancient Hebrew language, which was written in Hebrew due to early Judaism and Christianity, and Yuke's brain unconsciously seems to be actively allocating more energy to this word and language.

Even though You Ke's body is extremely healthy and strong, and he is assisted by a mysterious power, which can even help him achieve a high degree of repair and stimulate his completely unknown great potential, what he did not expect at all is that the crazy learning of the body in this situation is also a stress response. In the long run, persistent hyperactivity has begun to show serious effects on the body, and the entire body's functions and the body's mental state have been in a critical state of collapse.

The purpose of biological evolution is extremely clear and precise, it just needs a trigger point for a mutation and a once-in-a-lifetime opportune time, and You Ke is on the eve of this evolutionary mutation. Regardless of his subjective will, this great and seemingly dark force in the dark is pushing him to evolve in a certain direction.

In 1953, Watson and Francis. Crick discovered the structure of the DNA double helix, opened the era of molecular biology, made the study of heredity go deep into the molecular level, the "mystery of life" was gradually opened, and people clearly understood the composition of genetic information and the way of transmission, but human beings have only unveiled the tip of the iceberg of the mystery of the origin of life, and there are still many unsolved and unknown areas.

Francis. Crick was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1962 for his discovery of the well-known double helix structure of DNA. But there is another passage that he has not attracted much attention for, that is, his paper published in the medical journal Nature Neurology, claiming that he and his research team have discovered the human "soul cell" through numerous experiments, Crick said that the human soul or consciousness is not innate, but is produced and controlled by a small group of neuronal cells in the human brain.

Over the years, Crick has conducted countless experiments, including studying patients and animals with brain injuries with various instruments, and conducting various psychological studies, and has obtained a wealth of valuable first-hand research data. The latest scientific research points out that the large amount of research data from Crick's experiments can fully prove his theory.

Crick wrote in a medical journal: "This is the first time that we have made a perfect connection between nerve cells and consciousness generation in the fields of philosophy, psychology and neurology. Studies have shown that human consciousness is expressed by only a small group of neuronal cells in the brain, which are located in a small area from the back to the front of the cerebral cortex. ”

Some mainstream scientists have suggested that this small area should be the result of a genetic mutation, and Clark relied on the famous British astrophysicist Fred ? Fred Hoyle's quote gives a vivid example of the probability of this genetic mutation, saying it is like "a tornado sweeping through a garbage dump and then happening to assemble a Boeing 747." Whatever his academic rigor, the underlying implication he was trying to convey was that there was little chance of evolution from human power alone.

This region is included in the many gene groups that have mutated in Youke. These mutations are all for evolutionary purposes, as mysterious as the origin of Homo sapiens in the history of human civilization, with an all-seeing eye and an invisible hand playing a pivotal role.

In this era of great significance, You Ke was activated by some mysterious force, or rather, some of his functions were awakened by some mysterious force.

You Ke only knew that his father died early since he was a child, and his mother raised the brothers independently with hard work, so the brothers have always respected their mother.

In addition, because of the strict discipline, his brother is simple in nature, although he is a little playful, but he is also cautious.

You Ke is the eldest son in the family, with a loud temperament, and has a natural courage and determination since he was a child, and he seems to be more perverse and more arrogant than his peers.

He has always been sharp and straightforward in his work, and he has a lot of ghost ideas in his head, and he has become the head of the children in the village since he was a child.

You's mother is an ordinary peasant woman, who works hard and speaks little.

She has neither read any books, nor can she talk about how much knowledge she knows from books, and she has never seen any big world, but like thousands of traditional ordinary families, she treats her children with simple and selfless maternal love that is no different from others.

But even this deepest and most fundamental maternal love rooted in the hearts of human beings is currently being impacted by artificial intelligence technology. Nowadays, more and more mothers are choosing more convenient and relaxed professional robot care to care for their children.

Thankfully, his mother didn't.

Regarding his family, except for maternal love, although there is not much difference from thousands of families in the world in other aspects.

But what lingers in You Ke's mind has always been two incomprehensible questions:

The first one is about the past of his own family.

Since he became sensible, although his home is deep in the mountains, there have been some unknown people who have occasionally appeared nearby, as if they were looking for something, and on a few occasions they even found their own home.

You Ke's brain now has a magical experience and changes in the past year or so, which is not what it used to be, and a dream at night can make him clearly recall an incident that happened when he was 3 years old.

It was late in the evening, and the family of three had just finished dinner, and his mother was busy working in the side room, while he and his brother, who was about a year younger than him, were sitting on the floor on one side of the hall and playing.

Suddenly, outside the house, his own black dog Xiao Hei "Wang, Wang" barked wildly, and then suddenly "poof" a few times, and three strong men had broken into the hall. One of the leaders suddenly reached out his right hand to grab his chest, while the other reached out to grab his brother. In the blink of an eye, the visitor had already lifted himself and his brother up like chickens. At the same time, like a pair of dead fish, the eyes of the black hole stared at his face.

Being so close that not only could he smell the man's breath with the strong smell of grass smoke, but even You Ke could clearly see the scar on his face, which ran diagonally from left to right, diagonally from the center of his eyebrows through the bridge of the man's nose. It looks horrible and terrifying.

What is certain is that this person must be human.

At that moment of lightning, You Ke instantly caught a glimpse of the right hand forearm stretched out towards him, and there were three black circle seals side by side along the direction of the arm! This circle is the size of a cigarette butt, and the grains are distinct.

"Like?" Scarface turned his face, his voice hoarse and low, and asked a strong man beside him.

"No," replied the brawny man beside him, who seemed to be a little shrewd.

"What are you doing? You guys are ,... Let go of my child! ”

You Mu had already rushed in from the side room and didn't know when, desperately snatched You Ke and his younger brother from the hands of the two, and then dragged them behind her body one by one, looking at the people who came in horror.

"Who are you! What to do?! ”

"Ahem, this sister-in-law, I'm sorry..."

"We're going to go to Xiangtanzi tonight at night, pass by here to rest, and ask for a cup of tea. This is our boss."

The strong man next to him, who seemed to be an elf, looked at the person who took the lead, and said first,

"He likes it very much when he sees that your two children are about the same age as his son."

"Hehe, yes, yes..."The eldest brother who took the lead also got off the donkey and replied.

"Please leave my house immediately, or I'll call the police immediately!"

You Mu didn't know where the momentum came from, so she raised her voice and roared.

Fortunately, those people quickly finished the fight haha and hurried away. But even today's recollection made You Ke shiver all over his body.

The second suspicion is about the mother.

You mother has always been low-key, always earnestly teach the tour guide can not be out of trouble, the world is unpredictable, everything needs to be cautious, low-key life, these tours can be regarded as a cliché, the old generation to educate the younger generation of common sense knowledge, and did not care too much.

But his mother privately demanded that he must memorize the words "do not lose his will when he is disappointed, do not get carried away when he is proud, and wait for the storm to rise", and asked him not to mention a word to the outside world, which even his younger brother did not know.

And to You Ke's great surprise, his mother, who has never been good at or understands poetry, was able to repeat these words as if she were reciting a scripture.

His mother's seriousness and determination in this matter were something he had never seen before, and he had never thought much about it before, except that he had heard it from his mother, and he had to follow his mother's orders and keep it in mind.

Until You Ke became an adult, late one night when he was 18 years old.

Mother quietly dug out a lacquered wooden locket from the large pear tree on the back hillside from the soil buried about three feet deep.

Trembling, he took out a handkerchief wrapped in red silk from the wooden box, and You Ke was able to see it for the first time.

There are two poems that stand out from the rest. The handwriting of the fly's head is golden, and the font is elegant and handsome, which is obviously from the hand of a scholarly expert.

The whole text is written with a brush on this silk handkerchief, and the poem says:

Listening to the wind last night,

How much gray hair does the seaside blow on?

Silent recitation of the scriptures,

Ruyi heart lifted.

East to West,

Rebirth of the true scriptures.

exorcism,

The all-seeing eye,

Wind and rain rainbow gathering.

On the back of the handkerchief, it turned out to be a poem:

The mountains are high and the world is avoided, and the forests are dense with snakes and beasts. Just wait for the future generations to surpass me, don't lose a river.

The old place is still there, how can the wolf be gone. Wait for the dragon slaying bureau and wait for the wind and clouds to rise.

The first tour can be pondered and pondered, and it is impossible to fully understand its meaning.

The second song is even more foggy and misty, and I don't know what to do.

"Don't lose your ambition if you're frustrated, don't get carried away when you're proud, and wait for the wind and clouds to rise" The admonition is especially in my ears, so that the very filial You Ke never dares to forget to follow his mother's teachings.

Now it seems that it is a poem from this handkerchief, but my mother is very secretive about the origin, and she does not dare to ask the reason.

But in the past year, several scenes that have been recurring in You Ke's dream realm have made him unable to let go of it for a long time.

First of all, he always felt that he was not born here, it seemed to be somewhere else. Secondly, and even more terrifyingly, I feel more and more that my real parents seem to be someone else!

This kind of cranky thinking not only makes You Ke painful and depressed, but also makes him not have the courage to communicate directly with his respected mother, such an ambivalence continues to develop, and the depression in his heart can be imagined.

And this dream made him even more frightened and suspicious!

After careful consideration, You Ke made up his mind that it would be better to figure out all the doubts and reasons on his own. It's best to find a way that doesn't hurt your mother's heart and makes your own questions clear.

But I don't have a clue where the clues are.
