Chapter 18: Bold Speculation

In the rest of the journey, Professor Zhang naturally walked more carefully, not only keeping an eye on the road ahead, but also worrying about the attack from behind, but even if he was extremely careful, he still fell into the trap set by the water monkey in advance. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It turned out that Professor Zhang was walking, and at the entrance of a stone room, he found Xiao Hu, Xiao Hu's posture was very strange, his hands were behind his back, and he was leaning straight against the door of the stone room, and he was trembling all over, as if he was afraid of something, but Professor Zhang took a closer look and found that something was wrong.

Because Xiao Hu's mouth was stuffed with tree roots, grass and vines and other things, he couldn't make any sound, but the look on his face looked very panicked, but ......, Professor Zhang was immediately surprised to find that Xiao Hu's fear actually came from himself! The closer he got to him, the more nervous he became, what does this mean, is there something terrible about him?

Professor Zhang was shocked all over his body, checked his whole body, and didn't find anything inappropriate, and he didn't think deeply at the moment, he just thought that Xiaohu had experienced too many cruel things, which led to nervous abnormalities, so he had that kind of fear of everything.

Professor Zhang was worried about Xiaohu's condition, so he ran to him in three steps and two steps, and just wanted to reach out to get away the miscellaneous items in Xiaohu's mouth, suddenly, a strange big hand stretched out from the back of Xiaohu, and before Professor Zhang could recover from his surprise, Xiaohu suddenly fell to the ground, and the owner of the big hand appeared immediately.

It was a huge water monkey, a third larger than any of the previous ones they had seen, and Professor Zhang now estimated that this giant water monkey might be the king of the group of water monkeys. Then I also wanted to understand why Xiao Hu was very scared when he saw him approaching, it turned out that he wanted to remind him that there was danger behind him and asked him not to approach.

What made Professor Zhang feel even more terrifying was that using this method to trap the enemy was not a thought that animals could possess at all, so he was very suspicious that this water monkey was not an animal at all, but the existence of an alternative intelligent group, but humans had not discovered it.

But now he realized that it was too late, the huge water monkey did not give Professor Zhang any chance to resist at all, and with a big hand tugging in, Professor Zhang fell into the stone room, and as soon as Professor Zhang wanted to get up and resist, he was kicked away by the monkey king, and he couldn't move at the moment.

However, what Professor Zhang didn't expect was that there were four other water monkeys hidden in the stone room, and when they saw Professor Zhang, they all showed a fierce look, and then roared, and together with the monkey king, they beat Professor Zhang severely.

When Professor Zhang woke up and turned around, it was the picture I saw now, I saw that there were many bruises on his face, presumably the scars left by the water monkey after the beating, and I naturally didn't want to mention things like this, after all, it was not a glorious thing to be beaten by a group of beasts.

Then Professor Zhang asked us what happened to our group, and when I told him the ins and outs of the matter, Professor Zhang's deep eyes seemed to have a strange brilliance, as if he was thinking about something, and as if he was secretly confirming something.

Perhaps it was because of Professor Zhang's infection, and a lot of questions gradually appeared in my head, and the thing that puzzled me the most was why the mark caused the explosion after the body of the water monkey was overturned? Suddenly I remembered Professor Zhang's words, yes, Professor Zhang's analysis was good, they must have learned how to operate grenades, so they did things on the corpse in advance, just waiting for us to be fooled.

But how could they have calculated that we would inevitably touch the corpse? I really couldn't understand this, so I told Professor Zhang about my doubts again, and I thought he should be able to think of something. Professor Zhang's mind is really good, and he didn't have half a minute to think about it, so he gave me a bold guess.

In his opinion, water monkeys are actually the same as humans, they not only have a very high ability to imitate, but also have all the thoughts of humans, and naturally can guess the psychological state of the enemy. I don't understand the meaning of Professor Zhang's words, and what is the connection with the question in my heart? So he asked, "So what?" ”

Professor Zhang said: "So, do you think that the corpse that suddenly appeared behind us is meaningless? And Xiaohu said to you before he died, "Hurry up...... Be careful......", don't you still know what this sentence means? ”

I thought about these things at the time, and I thought that there must be something strange in them, but my thinking was not detailed enough, and every time I thought of a critical moment, I dropped the chain, and now I think about this problem, not only did I not come up with the result, but I also lost the previous one, the looming key idea.

Professor Zhang seemed to see my difficulty, and he continued: "I think the reason why they are doing that is only one purpose, to make you panic and break yourself. ”

Let's panic? Yes! I suddenly had a flash of lightning in my head, no wonder I always felt that things were weird, and I always felt an indescribable sense of weirdness, after Professor Zhang said this, I immediately fully understood, his words were like a key key, leading to all my thoughts, so as to get the hang of it.

That's right, the water monkeys just want us to panic, even crazy, and the appearance of those corpses is just a means for them to create a terrifying atmosphere, so the corpses will be more terrifying than the other.

However, the three of them, Biaozi and I, are all people with excellent psychological quality, and they did not retreat or act irrationally because of the fear at that time, so the conspiracy of the water monkey was a failure.

But they immediately came up with another trick, which is to make a few of us angry, knowing that once people are angry, they lose their minds, it's just a matter of how much. Professor Zhang was fooled in that kind of atmosphere, and if he had calmed down and analyzed, it would not be difficult to find doubts from Xiaohu.

So it immediately occurred to me that they deliberately made Xiao Hu scream in order to attract us to pass, and when we rushed over, Xiao Hu just died. In this way, we will have a sense of loss and guilt, and the culprit of all this is the water monkey, and naturally, we will be transformed from these two psychology into a state of grief, and then from grief to anger.

Later, Xiao Hu suddenly returned to the light, he must have known the trap laid by the water monkey, so as soon as he woke up, he immediately reminded us, but he only died halfway through, so the three of us were very concerned about the sentence "Hurry up...... Be careful......! I didn't understand it, I thought it was Xiaohu telling us to be careful of things like corpse scorpions, but now that I think about it, the sentence he wanted to say most at that time should be "You guys go quickly, be careful of bombs!" ”。

However, at this critical moment, we found the corpse of the water monkey in the fourth room, and there were two heads of divers under it. And Biaozi bore the brunt of the blow, and he burned the anger in his heart directly at the corpse of the water monkey, and it was for this reason that we caused the explosion of the grenade, and we fell for the poison of the water monkey.

This is also the reason why the water monkey knew that there was an enemy intruding, and still placed the corpse of his companion on our way, and at that time we were all overwhelmed by anger and did not think about it.

Fortunately, the mark was quick at the time, otherwise the three of us would have been killed on the spot, oh my God! As soon as I thought about this, my head "buzzed", and I wondered in my heart, is the enemy we are facing really a group of animals? If not, how can you explain everything that came to mind? Do you want me to believe that there is a creature in this world that is no less intelligent than human beings besides human beings?

I couldn't imagine it anymore ......, it was so absurd, I felt like I was in a dream, in a nightmare, and I couldn't wake up from it.

Professor Zhang may have seen my shock, and he said to me: "Actually, when I was speculating on this issue, I was very reluctant to believe it, but all the evidence pointed to this, so we can't help but think about this matter, but looking at the behavior of these water monkeys, it seems that their wisdom has not been fully opened, as if they belong to what we often call the savage stage." ”

I was very surprised, because Lao Cai had also said before that these water monkeys were likely to belong to a type of ape, but I didn't expect the two of them to have the same idea. But I don't want to think about it, I'm in the same position as Biaozi, I don't believe that such a monster can have anything to do with people, and it's more because these water monkeys eat people.

Because in the worldview of man, man does not eat man, which is also a symbol of human civilization, and it is one of the biggest differences between man and animal. But Professor Zhang said, "Then have you ever heard of cannibals in Africa? They also eat human flesh, can you say that they are not human? ”

I was stunned and couldn't argue with this fact, because it was something that everyone in the world knew about and I couldn't deny it. Professor Zhang continued: "So in ancient times, human beings still lived a life of drinking Mao Ru's blood, and people often ate people, is it because of this that we don't recognize them as their descendants? ”

I was in deep contemplation, but I didn't have any thoughts in my head, and it was completely blank, which made me very unnatural. Maybe I thought things were too simple before, but after Professor Zhang's analysis, my thinking has never turned a corner.

Seeing that I was silent for a while, Professor Zhang said: "Don't think nonsense, I don't say this to prove that water monkeys are a kind of human, I just want you to understand that there is not much difference between humans and animals." ”

I said, then you say that the water monkey belongs to the savage stage of our humans? Professor Zhang explained: "I'm just talking about their intelligence, but the high intelligence of the water monkeys can indeed be compared with primitive people. But I really can't understand why humans rarely notice their existence when they have such intelligence, and whether they have always survived in a way of evasion. ”

I said: "This may have something to do with their habits, such as this cave under the Black Water Pool, if it weren't for the fact that the government began to pay attention to this bizarre death case, we might be like ordinary people, just think that the water monkeys are the product of legend, because the people who have seen them are all dead, and the living people have never seen them, who would believe that there is such a strange creature in this world?" ”

In fact, the whole thing is still speculation until now, as for how the water monkeys came to be, why do they rarely appear in front of people? None of this is known,

Later, we discussed the physical fitness and physical characteristics of the water monkeys, and when it came to the large sarcoma of the water monkeys, Professor Zhang immediately rejected our previous speculation, saying, "Actually, every water monkey I have seen has a meat bag hanging from it, and at first I didn't understand what the meat bag was. Then another question came to my mind, about how water monkeys survive underwater for long periods of time, because their body structure does not have the conditions to survive underwater. ”

"First, they did not evolve gills and lost their innate underwater living conditions; Second, judging from their size, their lung capacity should be about the same as that of people, so what is the limit of people's survival underwater, and their limit is also how much, then the only explanation is the big sarcoma on their body. ”

When Professor Zhang said this, I already fully understood, and I couldn't help but exclaim: "You mean that the big sarcoma is the air sac they use to store oxygen?" ”

Professor Zhang nodded, and then said, "Do you remember the water curtain we saw on the surface of the pool?" I think that's the best proof of that. ”

Water curtains? That's right! At that time, we saw a magical scene by the black water pool, that is, a water curtain suddenly shot out of the water, at that time we were just very shocked, did not understand what was going on, and even thought that the water monkey really had the magical ability to drive away water.

Now that I think about it, it's just water monkeys ventilating the air sacs, and it's the same reason that the giant blue whale forms a fountain when it ventilates.

The mysteries of the water monkey were dissected one by one by Professor Zhang, looking at this unsmiling weirdo, I admired it very much, he was able to do this level of professor, his imagination and analytical ability are really not comparable to ordinary people.

Later, I asked about Xiaohu's death.

Professor Zhang said that because Xiao Hu was tied up here, he has been in a state of stubborn resistance, so he angered the water monkeys, and those water monkeys seemed to remember the effect of killing a hundred people, and even tore off Xiao Hu's hands and feet in front of Professor Zhang. Professor Zhang saw the whole process of Xiaohu's pain, but what could he do? He could do nothing but deplore.

It didn't take long for Lao Cai and Biaozi to wake up one by one, they thought they were together in the underworld at first, but after Professor Zhang and I explained it to them, they finally understood. Then we joined the conversation, but at this moment, a few roars came from outside, and my heart tensed up all of a sudden.
