Rarity: SSS [Interstellar]

"How do you feel?" Yan Yuanzhou sat beside Ji Xifeng's bed in the ward and asked while peeling an apple.

"What?" Ji Xifeng asked him blankly at first, and after a few seconds he came to his senses, and quickly replied, "It's okay."

Yan Yuanzhou cut the peeled apple into small pieces and put it on the bedside, knelt down and touched his earlobe: "Are you still not used to it?"

"It feels... amazing." Ji Xifeng also touched his ears, recalling the day he woke up, and used such an adjective.

"It turns out that 'listening' is like this."

In Ji Xifeng's world, he never had the concept of hearing before. He didn't know what it was like to hear sound with his ears, nor did he know what sound was.In addition to training, he has also seen descriptions of hearing in books, and the vivid onomatopoeia in the book is just a word in his world.

What is a gunshot?He is with the gun every day, and the sniper rifle is his second life, but he doesn't know what the sound of his gun sounds like. "Papa", that's what it said in the book, but in Ji Xifeng's opinion, it was just two words.

He didn't even know what silence was, what silence was, because he had never heard a sound before.I have never seen what is lively and naturally I don't know what is deserted.

His hearing was not silence, but nothingness.

So when he heard the voice for the first time, he felt miraculous, even his own voice was miraculous.Yan Yuanzhou said that his voice was like a cloud, soft and soft, but there was a sense of coolness and lightness, and only then did Ji Xifeng know what it was like.

It's just that although he already has hearing, he is still not very used to using this sense.He is still more accustomed to looking at the lips of the speaker subconsciously, and reading other people's words by reading lips.

"What was it like hearing the voice for the first time?" Yan Yuanzhou asked him with a smile.

What was it like hearing the sound for the first time?Ji Xifeng recalled when he just woke up.

At that time, he had just struggled out of a tired dream, one foot on the top of the mountain and one foot on the sky, when a voice called to himself, he tried hard to open his eyes.

The first thing I saw was Yan Yuanzhou sitting in front of his hospital bed, holding his hand and calling his name softly.That was the first word and voice he heard in the 26 years of his life.

"That's how it sounds," he thought.

Ji Xifeng looked at the lips of Yan Yuanzhou who called him softly, and thought to himself, this man's voice is like a towering tree in a primeval forest, it is vast and full of vigor and vitality.

His concept of sound is very novel, at least for Yan Yuanzhou.

Yan Yuanzhou clicked on the notepad of his personal terminal, and recorded Ji Xifeng's feelings one by one, and sometimes stopped to ask him a question: "Do your ears hurt now?"

Ji Xifeng touched the ear and the instrument behind the ear and shook his head: "It doesn't hurt, it's a little itchy."

"Don't touch it." Yan Yuanzhou took his hand away, carefully observed the red wound, and comforted him: "The wound fusion agent is working, you can't use the repair chamber now, otherwise you can go in and lie down for half an hour and come out It'll be fine."

"Yes." Ji Xifeng nodded.

Ji Xifeng on the hospital bed is very obedient, probably because he has suffered too much from laymen guiding experts, he never meddles in areas he doesn't understand.Especially in the ward, the doctors and nurses did what they told them to do. Even the nurse said that she had never seen such a worry-free patient.

Such a well-behaved patient is distressing, Yan Yuanzhou looked at him and nodded seriously, carefully leaning on the pillow of the hospital bed and nibbling apple slices, his heart almost melted into a puddle of water.

He took out a small mirror from his pocket and put it in Ji Xifeng's hand: "You haven't seen yourself now since you woke up, take a look, my technique is still good, implanting wounds It sews beautifully and won't leave a scar."

Yan Yuanzhou was half coaxing and half proudly coaxing him to put the mirror obliquely in front of him and show him the external hearing aids on his ears.

Yan Yuanzhou said that this thing will make him different from others, and it will make others focus on him.But to be honest, Ji Xifeng didn't care about this, he already didn't care about other people's eyes, besides, even without this device, other people's eyes would always focus on him.What's more, this thing is not ugly, but strangely cute.

Yan Yuanzhou specially made it into the shape of a pointed ear, stuck on Ji Xifeng's ear, which looked like an elf's pointed ear.Originally, Ji Xifeng's appearance was very aggressive, and with such a pair of elf ears, it was even more eye-catching.

Ji Xifeng was watching, when a message suddenly flashed across his personal terminal, he clicked on it, and there were three smiling faces crowded together on the screen.

"Captain!" The sea anemone squeezed over, with a big smile on his face, "Captain, your ears look so good!"

"Sea anemone, what are you doing?" Bazhuo pulled the sea anemone away with his hands, "I still have to say hello to the captain. ——Captain!"

"Captain, how is your health now?" Da Chi calmed down, caring about Ji Xifeng's body, and squeezed in front of the two of them to talk to Ji Xifeng first.

Ji Xifeng nodded and replied: "Fortunately, the recovery period is not too long, and I can go back soon."

"Captain, can you hear me now?"

"It's ok, but I'm not used to it yet."

The three people on the opposite side asked each sentence sentence by sentence, while Ji Xifeng here answered each sentence sentence by sentence.Yan Yuanzhou sat and watched them ask and answer, then left the room with a smile and closed the door behind him.

Old Jane stood guard at the door, clasped her hands in front of her chest, saw him come out and asked nervously: "Team leader, how is Major Ji?"

Yan Yuanzhou looked up at him, and sent him the recorded data: "It's not bad. ——Is the comparison result of the genetic data I brought back last time?"

"Not yet." Old Jane put the data into a folder named "Ji Xifeng", and pulled out a piece of data from another folder, "This gene has fusion characteristics, and the separation process alone is already very troublesome." gone."

Yan Yuanzhou raised his feet and walked towards the laboratory: "I took this from a fusion organism, a fusion of a human and an extraterrestrial lizard. The separation procedure is the first procedure, and then you have to take it out Compared with human genes, we need to find out the identity of this human being."

"It's too difficult." Old Jane shook her head.

"how?"

"We are different from the military. The military has the right to directly call the gene bank program for comparison, but we," Old Jane spread his hands, "is just a medical research institution, and our authority is not high enough. We can only call the gene bank program at most. Gene data bank."

Yan Yuanzhou put his hand on the doorknob, and he glanced at Old Jane: "If the authority is not enough, separate the authority area, compare planet by planet, and focus on the fringe areas of the alliance and a few star fields with poor security." In the meantime, he reached out and opened the door of the laboratory.

"Little tree!" Yan Yuanzhou sternly stopped the little tree running around in the laboratory, "Take back your branches."

The branches of the small tree were retracted with a "swish", and turned into a normal small plant, squatting at the feet of the cabinet, shaking the leaves gently.

"Xiaoshu, you have to be careful, you can't let Xifeng know your real appearance, do you understand?" Yan Yuanzhou picked up Xiaoshu and slowly stroked the leaves of the little tree, "Even Xifeng's spiritual body can't reveal a little bit, you Do you understand?"

The leaves of the little tree slammed, signaling to him that they knew it, and then jumped out of Yan Yuanzhou's arms with a "chuckle", and jumped twice.

Fat Tiger poked his head in from outside the building, looking at the devices in the laboratory with his small eyes.The little tree jumped suddenly, threw itself on the fat tiger, and touched its skin happily: "Fat tiger, fat tiger, let's go out to play, you take me to the sky to play."

After Ji Xifeng was able to hear the voice, Fat Tiger also became able to understand Xiaoshu's spiritual communication, although Fat Tiger still didn't know how to communicate with other spiritual bodies.But with Xiaoshu by his side, he should be able to learn how to speak soon.

After all, Yan Yuanzhou also taught Ji Xifeng how to speak, and their master and spiritual body seem to be born with this responsibility.

Yan Yuanzhou watched the interaction between the two spirit bodies for a while, then turned to look at the information sent by Lao Jian: "How far has the separation process gone?"

"Less than 60.00 percent."

Yan Yuanzhou flipped through the progress of the data, and glanced at the process that had been stuck for a long time: "Encountered difficulties?"

"We don't have genetic samples of exoplanets, and the genetic samples of lizard species are not preserved in several laboratories. Lizard species are very rare species of exoplanets. We have communicated with several other research laboratories, but none of them have samples. "

"Slowly analyze, first separate the human genes, and then hand them over to others for comparison."

"However, the genetic comparison is a huge amount of work." Old Jane brought up the progress bar. "If we compare them one by one, it may take us nearly a month to thoroughly investigate, not to mention that there are still some babies who were abandoned at birth that have not been entered into the gene bank. , we may not be able to find a specific candidate."

"Apply to the superior department, just say that we plan to provide medical assistance to the fringe areas of the alliance, and ask the alliance to open the gene pool authority." Yan Yuanzhou withheld the information, remembering the monster lying in a pool of blood in the underground auction of the black market, and closed his eyes , "Xifeng doesn't need these now, but he will need them sooner or later. It's better to start them earlier."

On the roof, Fat Tiger carried the young tree all the way up until it touched the clouds.The little tree waved its leaves and screamed "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
