This is not difficult to understand: Homo sapiens have spies.

Paleoanthropologists and geneticists agree that the ancestors of modern humans walked out of Africa at least twice, and Homo sapiens who walked out of Africa for the second time wiped out all their close relatives: Neanderthals and Denisovans.

In the long evolutionary process, it is not surprising that there will be more intelligent "alien species" who learn to hide themselves among modern humans.

The so-called mountain spirits and sea monsters probably came about in this way. People package things they don't understand with myths and legends, and treat them as stories.

""The Grimm's Fairy Tales" was originally the hunting diary of the Grimm family. Generations of hunters recorded all the monsters they had seen and hunted, but they were discovered later, and the Brothers Grimm had to put these records in a compelling way. It was published publicly in an unexpected form.” Baron Sterak felt that this seemed very ridiculous, and laughed, “Who would have thought that the fairy tales that mothers read to their children are actually bloody killings behind them?”

"Those creatures are not human beings, and the Brothers Grimm certainly don't think there is anything wrong with killing them." Alicia subconsciously regarded herself as a "human being". "And then? Does the Green family have any descendants? It is said that if a family fights against so many types of alien species, it will definitely suffer heavy casualties."

"Indeed. Every generation of hunters almost died unexpectedly, and few of them survived. You have to know that 'Green' is not actually a family name, but refers to their blood. For many branches, of course not all of them have the surname Green. With the large immigration from Europe to America, many descendants of the Green family also came to the United States."

"I see. So, the monsters in fairy tales and myths can almost be said to have prototypes?"

"Yes. Sirens are one of them." Strack spat out the sea water in his mouth.

The three of them didn't speak anymore.

The strong wind beat the waves and continued to wash against the reef. After a few hours, the wind and waves finally stopped.

The sky is getting brighter.

Stephen Strange could finally open his backpack and eat something.

The backpack is waterproof, but it is inevitable that water seeps in and wets the paper bag.Strange hesitated for a moment, took out an orange and signaled to Alicia whether to give it to Strack.She shook her head, "He must have brought his own food."

The paper bag containing the small cakes was also wet, the small paper box was soaked, and the small cream cakes were soaked in water and became a mess.

It was a pity for Alicia, "I should have eaten them long ago." She had no choice but to throw away the paper bag together with the small cake in disgust and pity.

The paper bag quickly sank and disappeared without a trace.

No solid food, only oranges.

Strange silently and painstakingly peeled two oranges and gave one to Alicia.

She shook her head, "I may not eat for a long time, you can eat." Thinking about it, she smiled and said, "Next time you buy some beef jerky and put it in the car. The beef jerky is delicious, and the vacuum packaging is not afraid of soaking in water. "

Strange was amused by her words, "It's bad enough to experience this kind of thing once, do you want to do it again?"

She immediately shook her head obediently, "No more."

Sure enough, Strack brought his own food: beef jerky, compressed biscuits, mineral water, and ate quickly and calmly.Seeing Alicia looking at him, I gave her a piece of beef jerky, "Try it, it's made in Germany."

She took it and handed it to Strange, "Eat something."

Strack gave him a meaningful smile, then took out the earplugs and blocked them.

The siren's song is melodious and melodious, fascinating.

According to legend, people who heard the siren's singing would uncontrollably want to jump into the sea and follow the direction of the singing to find her, but of course, they ended up being drowned in the end.

As a magician, it is quite simple to prevent sound from entering the ears.Strange moved his hands in front of him, and a magical halo appeared around him, enveloping both him and Alicia.

"I'm all right," she said. "The sirens' singing must not confuse me."

"It may be that the rhythm affects the brain waves, and you may have hallucinations and want to jump into the sea."

"I won't drown, don't you worry."

Strange had no choice but to say, "I should protect you. Let me protect you. Stark asked me to do such a thing. If I can't protect you, I will be laughed at by him for 100 years." How about a fight, I don't want to fight with that guy, okay!

"Are you afraid of him?" Alicia didn't understand the friendship between these two bright and proud men.

"Afraid of him? No, I made a promise and I will keep it." Strange said, "What the hell are you thinking?" "You probably don't quite know what a magician means on Earth today: in fact, except for some extreme cases, nothing can harm us. Sterak must have used extremely powerful magic items."

He pondered for a moment, "Stark and I discussed this. Last time he sent you two to Iceland with some unknown means. This time... probably it was a similar magic item."

"What do you think should be done?"

He hesitated for a moment, "I don't suggest that you have to kill him. Taking other people's lives is not a good thing. I don't believe in God, and I don't think that only God can decide a person's life or death, but I don't think it is necessary to kill him." Talent can do it." In fact, he refused to kill, but sometimes he was forced to kill in order to protect himself, which made him entangled.

"I don't like people or things that I can't control. An opponent who is mysteriously resurrected and has great energy, I don't feel comfortable if I don't kill him. Stephen, you are too soft-hearted."

Strange really wanted to help her: Don't forget that the place she stayed was full of lunatics, anti-social, perverted, and paranoid. How could she not be affected by this group of people for decades!

She came out of the halo.

The siren's singing is continuous. Although they can hear the singing, they don't even notice what is being sung, whether there are lyrics or not, maybe it's just a graceful and meaningless monophony, but the beauty of the tune is unheard of in the world.

After listening for a few minutes, Alicia jumped off the reef and into the sea.

Strange then jumped into the sea too.

How could he let her go to the unknown alone.

"You don't have to follow." She stopped and waited for him.

"I'm not going to let you go alone," which feels weird, as a man and a smart guy, he can't always trust people—mainly because he thinks everyone else is too stupid to follow. He was on the same level, and he didn't feel that others could do things well-so he was used to carrying everything by himself.Now that someone is running around without his protection, he is a little annoyed. It's not that she is a trouble, but that it may... damage his sagacity a little bit.

The siren is on a large reef about 5 or 6 nautical miles away, with a human body and a fish tail, beautiful appearance, bright and thick green long hair like seaweed, and bright green eyes.

She—a siren is always a female—seems unable to speak human language, and she didn't move her body or stop singing when she saw them climb up the reef.

Strange cautiously continued to use magic to block out the sound.

"Do you know what to do?" he asked.

"I don't know, but I think I'll figure it out soon enough."

She looked at the siren, and the siren's green eyes looked at her with the same curiosity.

For a moment, Strack wanted to jump into the sea and follow Alicia, but he hesitated for a few seconds before losing his chance.He waited on the small reef for a few hours, and unexpectedly found that the scene switched to a desert.

The scalding sand quickly dried his drenched clothes.

Wet clothes are very uncomfortable to stick to the body, and the heat absorbed when the water evaporates is also uncomfortable.

He opened the backpack, took out a ball of twine the size of a fist, pulled out the end of the thread, an ampule bottle, and a thin child's finger in the ampule bottle.He opened the ampoule, took out his finger, tied it to a thread, and threw it in front of him.The finger landed on the sand, and after a few seconds, it began to move in a certain direction, leaving thin traces on the sand.

Strack held a ball of thread in his hand and followed his fingers. After more than an hour, he saw Alicia in the distance.

No, he saw Strange's thin figure on the dune first, and then he saw the little girl beside him.

It was quite cold in New York at the end of October. Alicia wore a thin hooded sweater, corduroy shorts, and canvas sneakers. At this time, the sweater, shorts, and sneakers were all taken off, and she was only wearing white lace underwear.

Strange was less than 3 steps away from her. He also took off his coat and sat on the sand dune.

Hearing the sound of someone approaching stepping on the sand, the two turned their heads together.

Alicia was not surprised, and said to Strange: "Look! He must have a way to find us." Then asked Baron Strucker: "What is that?"

Strack retracted the thread, removed the finger, and put it back in the ampoule. "One of your fingers."

She had a knowing look on her face.

Strange was slightly taken aback, but he soon felt relieved: Hydra would have her internal organs, fingers, and so on. I can piece together several of her, and it is not surprising that some day some pieced together Alicia's version of Frankenstein appears.

Cough, maybe there will be—

"What are you thinking?" she asked suddenly.

"Oh," Stephen Strange quickly recovered, "it's nothing, the clothes are dry, you put them on quickly." He handed her the hoodie and corduroy shorts that had been spread out on the sand and dried up, and then turned Turn your face away and don't look at her.

Strack went to sit on the other side of her, without looking at her, took off the leather shoes on his feet, and poured out the sand inside.

Strange whispered very gently: "Do you want to wear shoes? Or bare feet would be better." Holding her canvas sneakers in his hand, he tied the laces together and hooked them on his fingers.

The author has something to say: *The history of human development and evolution is divided into Australopithecus, Homo habilis, Homo erectus (200 million years to 20 years ago, early Homo erectus, late Homo erectus), Homo sapiens (20 years to 1 years ago) Years ago, early Homo sapiens, late Homo sapiens) four stages.The first three stages are from ape to ape-man, which are extinct.Homo sapiens is the direct ancestor of modern humans.

*Human beings from 1 years ago to the present are called "modern humans".

*Homo erectus, an ancient human who lived in Africa, Europe and Asia from 180 million to 200 million years ago. It is generally believed that Homo erectus originated in Africa.The ancient human fossils found in China include the Zhoukoudian Peking Man fossil (the legendary Peking Man, discovered in 1929, a complete skull, the fossil disappeared in 1941, and has not been found so far. It is said that it was stolen by the Japanese invading army. It was photographed in China. The movie "The Last Clue to the World's Strange Case" is about this, and in 03, a 20-episode TV series "The Peking Man Incident" was filmed)

*Denisovans (Denisova), proven to exist in 2012, are considered to be a different race from Homo sapiens and Neanderthals.It is now believed that the Dali, Maba, and Xujiayao people in China are all Denisovans.

* Neanderthal (Homoneanderthalensis), representative of early Homo sapiens. On March 2017, 3, the American "Science" magazine published a paper titled "Research on the Late Pleistocene Ancient Human Skull Unearthed in Xuchang, China" on the 3rd, claiming that a breakthrough has been made in the study of human evolution: living in Xuchang City, Henan Province more than 3 years ago The "Xuchang Man" at the Lingjing site may be the descendants of ancient humans in China and Neanderthals in Europe.
