implication [end times]

"Sparrow, chordate, the original bony fish class, but the mutated form can be classified into the bird class. Before the sea ghost era, when the boundaries between terrestrial and marine animals and plants were clearly defined, they were common in the bottom waters of the western Pacific Ocean."

Single group clicks the button on the remote control, and the projection shows the shape of the unmutated sparrow fish.This is a round fish with long dorsal and caudal fins, floating in the sea like little flags.The slide switches to the next one. The dorsal fin of the finfish is greatly elongated to become a bird-like wing. There is also an anatomical diagram next to it, showing the mutation process of its respiratory system, and annotating other information: Aggressiveness Strong, with green blood, they eat humans like many terrestrial mutant mammals, but will substitute other meats when hungry.

A highly qualified research director in the research group asked: "You just said that among the mutant animals, those with green blood are as contagious as sea ghosts, but there are so many retail investors and mutant animals outside the main city, why have they never been infected for decades?" Haven't sea ghosts appeared in the human field of vision so that we overlooked this potentially great danger?"

"I have a bold guess about this. After being infected, the newly mutated sea ghosts may have received instructions from within their group and deliberately hid them - judging from their current intelligence and organization, this is entirely possible .Although there may be fish that slipped through the wide area outside the city, they have not been found by the main city, so we think they have disappeared long ago."

The director said categorically: "Impossible. There are many defense stations stationed outside the city from the plateau to the coast. If there is any situation, it will be reported. Besides, it is useless for sea ghosts to lurk and hide outside the city. The most advanced technology and productivity of human beings are concentrated in Inside the city, most of the activities of sea ghosts outside the city are useless, not efficient, and not in line with their usual style of work."

This director is capable, but he always likes to put on airs with his years of experience and status to gain some sense of authority, and he doesn't trust the new achievements of young people.What's more, Shan Qun appears to be just a junior assistant who has just joined the scientific research institute, and it is difficult to convince the public when he is suddenly entrusted with an important task.

Yan Ai answered calmly: "Director Yu, now is not the time to promote the theory of the central city. We haven't seen it yet, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Let's listen to the research results of each team member before discussing it. "

After finishing speaking, Yan Ai nodded to Shan Qun, motioning for her to continue.

Shan Qun had been looking at her when Yan Ai spoke just now, but now their eyes collided, Shan Qun immediately turned his head to look at the slide as if he had been burned, and continued: "Although some of the terrestrial mutant animals mentioned earlier also have Infectious, but the virus has changed to varying degrees when it parasitizes on them, which is very different from the original host. Unlike pikefish, the sea ghost virus in its body and the virus carried in the sea ghost maintain the mutation speed and direction It is strikingly consistent, even synchronous. The connection between sparrowfish and sea ghosts has been a mystery for many years."

"The latest research results on finches are still 30 years ago. Since the city was founded, due to the outstanding contributions of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the proportion of marine animals and plants growing in the main city has decreased year by year, and this kind of dangerous flying fish has gradually faded out of the researchers' attention Field of view. In other words, due to the tranquility in the main city for 50 years, the entire sea ghost research has been stagnant. But in recent days, we have made new discoveries."

An old, blurry photo was shown on the slide, showing a hand-drawn drawing of a restored sparrow fish, with parameters and notes marked next to it.

"This photo was taken of a precious research manuscript many years ago, which was originally collected in the sea ghost exhibition hall of the museum. It is considered to be the origin of the sea ghost virus and the source of the evolution of the sea ghost species - just like the origin of the orangutan. Like humans. It was previously withdrawn due to insufficient evidence, and now we have some clues that can support the relationship between the two."

Director Yu asked: "But what's the point of studying this issue now? Lou Yue suddenly asked us to give a research report on Sparrow Fish, saying that it is related to the safety of the Second Ring Road. Are you off topic?"

"Don't keep interrupting, she's about to talk about the key point." A homeless man in the research group who didn't fit in with all the scholars in white coats said a little displeased.

Director Yu was even more displeased: "Team Leader Yan, the diversity of personnel in your research group is really strong."

Director Yu and Yan Ai have similar administrative levels in the scientific research institute. The former has more than 20 years of experience and experience than the latter, but the latter has much greater power and prestige.For the establishment of the Sea Ghost Special Research Group, the dean handed over the selection of personnel to Director Yu and Yan Ai, allocated a large amount of funds and equipment, and provided almost all high-quality resources to this group.In addition to resource inclination, this research group is researching the most urgent and urgent issues for the main city. Once they are successfully conquered, they will be the heroes who turn the tide, and may be included in future textbooks.

However, the number of people selected by the dean to Yan Ai is twice as large as that given to Director Yu, and Yan Ai is the team leader, and Director Yu is only the deputy team leader.

The current situation of Yuan Qiong and Shi Xun is currently only known to a very few people in the scientific research institute, Director Yu is not among them.Because the level of confidentiality of the research many years ago was too high and it involved many disputes, Yuan Qiong and Shi Xingming had died long ago, and their identities could not be clarified.Therefore, Yuan Qiong is sitting here as a "hermit scholar invited by Yan Ai with a lot of money" at this time.

Director Yu was dissatisfied with the decision made by the dean and Yan Ai, but considering his own identity, it was inconvenient to say so. At this time, he felt even more disgusted by this messy personnel structure: "Although I understand that this project requires talents from various industries to complete it, but it is also difficult to make it clear." You can’t do nonsense, is this treating scientific research as a joke? When I was in school, I was fortunate enough to listen to Professor Yuan Qiong’s class, and the most precious academic philosophy I learned from the old man is pragmatism and purity...”

Just as he was talking, a tall and tall figure opened the door and walked in.After entering the door, Lou Yue first bowed slightly to greet the homeless man with unpredictable expressions, then nodded to the others, and said, "Sorry for being late, how far have you guys discussed?"

Director Yu was startled by the strange reaction of Lou Yue and the homeless man, he quickly stopped the conversation just now, and reported: "Captain Lou came just in time, we are discussing the relationship between the sparrow fish and the sea ghost you mentioned, Shan Qun Xiao The assistant seems to have discovered something new."

Lou Yue had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions, nodded to Shan Qun and said, "Please continue."

Shan Qun didn't care about the interruptions just now, and quickly got his own train of thought, and simply concluded: "Ran Qiu's original body is probably the sparrow fish in the picture."

This conjecture is really bold, because the materials it is based on are limited and vague, far from being a strong argument.

In addition to the anatomical records of sparrowfish and sea ghosts, the single group is based on all the detailed records about Ran Yu, and the most important of them are the many familiar dreams mentioned by Ran Yu and the Ran Yu's retelling of strange experiences in the past.

First, studies have shown that bonding does allow the other partner to peek into deep memories.The content of Ran Yu’s dream in front of Lou Yue’s study has been confirmed by historical data. If it was just an ordinary dream and not being controlled to pick the lock during the connection process, this dream can still be regarded as the brain’s indistinct state. Play, but the process of connecting does not give the brain the opportunity to be creative. The pearl that sea ghost No. 1 was holding in his hand when he came ashore was found in fish form, that is to say, sea ghost, or at least Ran Qiu's original form was a fish.

Secondly, according to Ran Yu's memories and Shan Qun's observation of Ran Yu, when Ran Qiu connects with someone, there will often be some iconic movements, such as tilting his head to the left.With the help of Lou Yue, Shan Qun found sufficient archives, and even found a detailed report written by Ran Yu from the archives of the former Third Ring Security Bureau that was already connected to the Internet.When investigating the Mutual Aid Association on Ginkgo Road in the Third Ring Road, Ran Yu met a strange pastry shop boy, Asong, who did this trick at the time.In addition, when the sea ghost on the roof of the mental hospital that made Albert suspicious let Ran Yu go, there was also a short pause and a movement of tilting his head to the left...

Shanqun speculates that the sparrowfish that survived without half of its head often needs to tilt its head to barely maintain its balance.Therefore, after evolving into the current form of the sea ghost, Ran Qiu still couldn't get rid of this habit of tilting his head.He may be able to control it at ordinary times, but he will still involuntarily follow his body memory when he is nervous or overly relaxed.

"As for the purpose of studying the relationship between sea ghosts and sparrowfish, it is to demonstrate a possibility." Shanqun stopped, taking a deep breath to calm down in a rare way in public, "They may be different evolutionary stages of the same species, according to sources Today, a large number of pike fish appeared quietly in the second ring, which actually means..."

"It means that when we are concentrating on strengthening the defense force of the high wall, sea ghosts have invaded the second ring through the air in the past few hours." Lou Yue's face suddenly became serious, "Infecting humans and spying on intelligence can kill two birds with one stone, and cross the sea."

When He Rongsheng saw the gate of the post office, he suddenly received an emergency call, asking him to return to the team immediately.At the same time, the radio on the side of the road began to broadcast evacuation messages, asking people on the street to find buildings to take refuge quickly and not to go out.When He Rongsheng turned around and returned to the team, he still couldn't help looking back at the post office, which was just around the corner, and the door of the post office was quickly closed. He didn't know if he would have the opportunity to hear news from his family in the future, and he didn't know if he still had it. Home.

But He Rongsheng didn't have time to think about it. On the way back to the team, he saw many police officers around the fish on the tree beside the road.In the communicator, Captain Ding was deploying the next urgent task in a passionate tone.No one asked any more questions, all the team members who had already fought the sea ghost many times were already in a fighting state, going all out to prepare for the sea ghost.

On this unremarkable evening, Captain Lou noticed the sparrow fish hovering in the sky when the sunset was dyed red. After that, he made a few phone calls and learned the news from Ran Yu. He immediately asked the research institute to investigate the sparrow fish.After learning of the potential danger of Sparrowfish, all the manpower and resources of all relevant departments were mobilized to the maximum extent.The entire defense mechanism and the people in it are like a huge well-oiled machine, the gears are running tightly, and the machine roars, and white smoke of agitation and indignation rises from the chimney.

And all these changes happened in just two hours, the bloody sunset had just dissipated, and the sky had not had time to turn from bright red to pitch black.

When the night completely fell on the city, under the cover of the night, countless sparrows dragged their smooth and slender tail feathers and flew over the high wall densely, like a huge dark cloud, covering the sky and the moon.

Fortunately, this time humans have long been prepared.
