Higurashi

Zhou Liaoxian's ward is arranged on the top floor of the hospital.The guards had cleared the field ahead of time, leaving only a few doctors and nurses just in case.

The assistant put the fruit basket on the white table, dragged a chair for Xi Ye, and placed it two steps away from the hospital bed.

Six hours after Zhou Liaoxian's rescue operation, the ventilator was still on his face. The nurse rolled up his hospital bed and said cautiously to Xi Ye: "Sir, he can only accept half an hour of conversation."

"enough."

Xi Ye was wearing a black-striped suit and a pair of silver-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.The nurse lowered her head and didn't dare to look any further, but she heard him say again: "I only have one thing to tell him, about his wife, we have deciphered his genetic sequence—"

Zhou Liao turned his head immediately, and a "ho ho" sound came out of his throat.He was originally a tall and handsome Alpha, because of his gentle appearance, he was very popular in the league.But at this moment, he was wearing a hospital gown, and his body was full of life-sustaining instruments. Because he couldn't move freely, there was even a urinary catheter attached to his waist, and his usual demeanor was gone.

"Urgent?" Xi Ye said coldly, "I'm afraid you will regret this marriage after hearing the result."

"You...say it first." Zhou Liao struggled to spit out a few words first, "I can...accept it."

Xi Ye glanced at the nurse, who was terrified, quickly packed up her things and left.Not much time left, Xiye cut to the chase, "The child is indeed yours. But there are twenty pairs of chromosomes in Mrs. Zun's gene sequence that are highly similar to yours, so this child cannot be born."

"..." Zhou Liaoxian was shocked instantly, "What...what do you mean?"

"It means that your child has a 98% probability of being born with a disability. I will immediately arrange an abortion for him and start investigating his identity. When you leave the ICU, someone will come to you to collect evidence in detail."

Zhou Liao began to fluctuate violently on the screen of the heart rate monitor beside the bed. He tried to get up from the bed, but failed, and could only stare at Xi Ye with a pair of eyes.

Xi Ye raised his hand, and the assistant understood, and turned to the last page of the report and handed it over.

Xi Ye didn't even read it, and threw the report directly on Zhou Liaoxian's bed, "There is no need to doubt, the results are all here. I can tell you responsibly, even if they are identical twins, DNA cannot achieve such a similarity. Your The encounter and the marriage were a conspiracy from beginning to end."

After that, he put his folded hands back on his knees, patiently waiting for the person to digest the matter.Zhou Liaoxian was really shocked. Regardless of the needles on the back of his hand, he reached out to reach for the report. The wound on his back was pulled and he bled so quickly that several other instruments beside the bed also started to call the police.

Xi Ye glanced at Zhou Liaoxian's bedside, and the assistant walked over and pressed the emergency button.

Soon two nurses rushed in, trying to push the man back to the bed, but Zhou Liao ignored it, and the hand holding the information trembled violently.The nurse had to move from left to right, and pressed him hard.After a few minutes of stalemate, Zhou Liao couldn't hold on anymore and collapsed back on the hospital bed.

The nurse turned him over and opened his hospital gown.Zhou Liao stared at Xi Ye, because his face was too pale, and he looked like a fish without dignity.

"Who is...who...why...?" These words exhausted his last strength.

Xi Ye didn't answer immediately, the nurse was well-trained to treat Zhou Liao's ruptured wound first.After they cleaned up the blood and retreated from the ward again, Xi Ye said, "Do you know about the fission plan?"

Zhou Liao's chest heaved and he silently looked in Xi Ye's direction.

In fact, Xi Ye didn't care whether he answered or not. Gu Zi continued: "The last war in the old calendar almost destroyed half of the land, the population dropped sharply, and basic agriculture could not be maintained, let alone industrial revival. The alliance needs to be able to quickly increase the population. Quantitative method."

"Gender..." This is an unrecorded history, but everyone in politics knows it.Zhou Liao said with difficulty: "They created... Alpha and... Omega..."

"Creation", how aptly used these two words, Xi Ye said: "My serial number is A3427, and Bai Hanming is A3461. There should have been 33 people among us, but only four survived."

"I am... 2780." Zhou Liao said first, "The people in front... have a lower success rate."

"Success rate?" Xi Ye's tone was light, but Zhou Liaoxian heard the sarcasm, "My parents each provided their own DNA information, and obtained fifty embryos by artificial splicing. They selected A3427 .Because the midwife responsible for splicing told them that this embryo is of the highest quality and can reach a stable height of 1 meters. At the same time, the disease and obesity rates are less than 85%. A0.5 will have a very good IQ, and birthmarks are not easy to appear on the skin .So the other embryos are killed and they just take the best one."

"They chose... us..." Zhou Liao first knew that his family was the same.They were all beneficiaries in the last war in the old calendar, so they had the power to divide the spoils.No one dared to record how many people died in that war.The blood-washed land has become a new world for survivors.

What a great opportunity, the world is at hand.

"Only those who are selected can survive." Xi Ye said, "Alpha must be the best human being, why? Because we need class. Changing one gene can customize gender, and changing 26 pairs of genes can customize what? Race, Skin color, intelligence level, whether the body is deformed... All the criteria for classifying can be formed at the embryonic stage."

"Everything is for...fortification. What you were born with...is...what..." This topic successfully touched the deepest pain in Zhou Liaoxian's heart, "It shouldn't...it shouldn't be like this..."

And Xi Ye's last words made him even more tormented, he looked at Zhou Liaoxian with those fickle eyes that seemed to see through the truth of the world, and said in a flat tone: "You once had ideals."

"Yes...but I betrayed..." Tears welled up in Zhou Liao's eyes, "I want...that child..."

"Is that just a child?" Xi Ye said, "Do you want that child, or everything you have? You want an Omega, which means you admit that you are an Alpha. You mark him, form a knot in him, Get him pregnant. You've got a happy family and something to protect. Those things overwhelmed your ideals and you decided to stop, didn't you?"

Zhou Liao collapsed first, tears gushed out of her eyes, and immediately wet the pillow on both sides of her cheeks.Xi Ye was right, he used to be one of them, but he was the first to have something he was attached to, and he needed power to protect his family.It was nothing at all, but his choice seemed to be wrong, his family was false, the child could not be born, and the person who shared the bed with him had twenty pairs of similar gene sequences.

"...I don't know." Zhou Liao murmured first, "Am I deceived?...Who the hell is he?"

"This is something to be investigated next." Xi Ye said, "But I have a guess. The gender experiment in the Northern Alliance began in the last three years of the old calendar. We were all born at that time, and there was a new batch of Omega. A new calendar, a new human being, a new gender, a new social system, new artwork, new textbooks...they prepared everything in those three years before announcing the beginning of a new era."

Zhou Liao smiled sarcastically, "The new era... What exactly is the new era..."

Xi Ye also showed the only smile in this meeting, "Who knows."

His tone made the assistant standing aside shudder, but fortunately Xi Ye quickly returned to normal, and continued with the previous words.

"They called the old humans Beta, and covered their memories with fabricated records." Xi Ye gently pushed his glasses, "In the 84th year of the old calendar, on December 12, tens of thousands of people died in the rainforest in the Battle of Sennar. Disgraceful, what to do? Make up a song, write another piece of news, and change a number. An invasion turned into a just war to liberate 11 slaves, and sacrifices became justifiable.”

Zhou Liao first said: "But domestication... is not omnipotent... History is a thing of the past... Modifications are bound to... leave traces."

"Yes." Xi Ye said, "There is a world in exile that people have seen in the past. There is no gender division, no nightly news, and no continuous war. The Internet used to be globalized, and there are not only two countries in the world, North and South."

"I've been to Sennar..." Zhou Liao gasped weakly, "I went with Bai Hanming..."

"I know." Xi Ye lowered his eyes, "After Bai Hanming came back, he drew a circle on my atlas. According to the scale, the circle is only 30 square meters, which is less than the size of a community in the alliance. It is impossible to live in it." [-] people down. Facts are traces."

Zhou Liao first said: "There is always... something that cannot be changed."

"So I sometimes think about it." Xi Ye opened his right hand, because he was wearing a glove, and only the creases of the leather glove could be seen in his palm.He stared at those creases and said calmly: "Can people who have seen the real world accept the present world? If I were them, what would I do? Do you want to go back to the past, while it is still possible?" -"

He stopped suddenly and cut off the topic here.Because his watch shows that the 30-minute visit time is up, and the nurse will be here soon.

Zhou Liao first said: "So he is... from the old era. The old era is uniting..."

"Maybe, I'll investigate." Xi Ye stood up from the chair, and the assistant immediately shook off his overcoat so that he could put it on properly, and made sure that every inch of crease on his body was smoothed out.

"By the way." He picked up the report from the bed, "Do you need to see him?"

"..." Zhou Liao was silent for a few seconds, and this time she made a wise choice, "I'll wait for your...result."

"That's fine." Xi Ye nodded and said goodbye to him, "I will ensure his safety."

He left the hospital in an elevator, and his assistant drove to the next scheduled location.Xi Ye drank a little water and ate some energy-enhancing food in the back seat.It has been 36 hours since Bo Hanming disappeared. The Congress is in turmoil. He still has a lot of things to deal with. He is working almost every minute and can only take a break between scenes.

"Sir, you can sleep for a while." The assistant said, "The journey is still 20 minutes away."

"No need."

The assistant has followed him for many years, knows his position, and is someone who can be trusted.But a closed space like a car is not safe, and Xi Ye is used to staying awake in unsafe places.

He put Zhou Liaoxian's wife's test report aside, and took out another folder from the trunk.Inside was an attack report. The team sent by the military to search for Bo Hanming's traces in the exile was ambushed last night and suffered heavy losses.The murderer was committed by a gang, including long-range snipers and ground personnel responsible for luring.

They first sniped and killed the driver of the military vehicle, causing chaos in the military convoy.Then they pretended to be evacuating to attract the army's pursuit, and they easily killed dozens of alliance soldiers who were not familiar with the terrain in the narrow alleys of the exile.

Obviously this was a well-prepared terrorist attack, and this group provoked the government with extremely bad means.At the moment when Bo Hanming disappeared, it was hard not to doubt the relationship between this group of people and Bo Hanming.

Xi Ye flipped through a few blurry photos taken by the car recorder, and suddenly said, "Go to the post office."

"Now?" said the assistant, "the post office may not be on the way..."

"Now."

Xi Ye used the water-based pen he carried with him to write two short sentences in the blank space of the document, and then stuffed the medical examination report of Zhou Liaoxian's wife into the folder.The assistant had already diverted when he took the pen. After 15 minutes, they arrived at the nearest small post office, and Xi Ye reported an address.

"Send it here—" He handed out the folder from the back seat, "Use your false ID, don't leave a receipt."

How should I put it, I wanted to write it but I was a little afraid of death, and finally gave up, so some of the content in this chapter may be a bit sloppy
