Mysterious creature sightings

Ling Jiangyue went to the behavioral experiment on the second day alone.

Compared to yesterday's simple Q&A, today's experiment included a more professional visual stimulation session. Sister Qing showed her several photos and asked her to imagine what it would be like to see the real thing with her own eyes.

The first photo is of a sheep with all its hair shaved off and placed in a cylindrical instrument. It seems that all the body fluids have been drained. There is a thick layer of light yellow oil around the shriveled body.

"This is a project used for pheromone research. There is a phenomenon in the records of biological behavioral observations. Almost all ungulates will smell the female's body and excrement during estrus, and they will turn their lips while smelling. For example, male sheep will turn their lips when they smell female sheep's butt or excrement."

"Because there are sex pheromones there, and their special channel for sensing pheromones - the vomeronasal organ - is on the roof of the mouth, so they do this when they smell the sex pheromones emitted by the ewe."

"Sex pheromones allow them to focus on reproducing their families during the estrus period, but researchers at that time were not sure where the pheromones existed, what kind of ingredients they were, and whether they could still function after being separated from the organism. So, they drained them The body fluids of this ewe were collected and a complex pheromone mixture was obtained, which was used to conduct an in vitro cleft lip sniffing reaction experiment on rams."

After the popularization, Sister Qing asked her: "A biology professor previously speculated that your special visual ability can not only see energy, but also pheromones. So what do you feel when you look at this photo?"

"Disgusting." Ling Jiangyue said softly.

Sister Qing: "Nothing else?"

"No, I have never seen this kind of experiment on site. I don't know what the smell inside is like, and I don't know what ingredients are in the body fluids. I can't imagine that kind of scene."

Sister Qing didn't say anything and opened the next two pages.

The photos of sheep can be said to be just a little disgusting, but these two are bloody. They are a dissected lamprey. The bloody and tight eel meat is mixed with those teeth that look like barbs. At first glance, The impact is very strong.

Ling Jiangyue tightened his eyebrows and moved back a little distance, spreading his fingers to block his eyes.

"This is a lamprey," Sister Qing seemed used to it and said without batting an eye. "It is a very ancient creature. The fossils can be traced back to the Carboniferous marine strata [-] million years ago. Although it is long It’s scary, but it’s no more perverted than a human being, and it still became our dinner.”

"Have you ever encountered a mutant relative of this thing before? That eel monster emits infrasound waves, which is very special, so your attention is focused on its vocal system, but in fact, the lamprey has a characteristic that deserves more attention - —It has an immune system that has evolved in parallel with higher vertebrates. Simply put, their immune system is very similar to that of humans, which is of great help to our study of immunity."

She pursed her lips and asked, "So you dissected one after another?"

Sister Qing did not answer, but continued: "Lampreys are very sensitive to pheromones. In recent years, lampreys have overrun in some areas of the United States and Australia, which is harmful to fisheries. Some people have used pheromone induction methods to guide them to Solved in one place. Can you see the energy colors of organisms, can you see the different colors in this lamprey?"

"No," she replied again. Seeing the slightly disappointed expression on the male assistant's face, she added, "You can't tell from the photo, but you should be able to see it at the scene."

It seems that the rush to explain oneself is not useless.

Sister Qing nodded: "We can do physical testing."

After saying that, she went back to the next photos and eliminated a few, probably changing the steps to stimulate her visual ability.

"Well, I want to ask," Ling Jiangyue pinched the three photos placed in her hand, made an unbearable expression, and said carefully, "Have all the creatures we discovered before been dissected and studied in this way?"

Sister Qing: "Didn't Lin Zheng tell you? That should be confidential information. I'm afraid I can't tell you - of course it's false. This information is not confidential. Yes, they can't escape the fate of being dissected. "But... But they actually didn't do anything, especially the giant butterfly. They just stayed under the Great Rift Valley. We came to catch them. Of course, I am not denying their danger." , but...but just like the ewe that had its body fluids drained, do all creatures in the world have to sacrifice for our development? I used to look at the animal world and said that every creature has its own habitat, and we Reducing distractions may be the way to stay safe.”

Sister Qing sighed and said after a long time: "Science is indifferent. Cold instruments and ruthless treatment have brought about our safety and development. This is a complex topic that has been debated for hundreds of years. It is difficult for you to stand absolutely on any side. Side."

"Sometimes we have to admit that human beings are selfish. We will do many dangerous things for the sake of possible threats, whether the danger is to other creatures or humans themselves."

Ling Jiangyue looked at her in surprise. This sentence made sense, but it was not something someone like her would say.

That person would not have looked at the problem with such a debating mentality at the beginning. He was an absolutely egoistic scientist.

It seems that there is still a difference between a butcher and a butcher, she can ask more.

"Sister Qing," she said with a curious look, "aren't you studying human body science? Looking at these photos, it seems more like you are studying the characteristics of other living things. Or will the research on these living things eventually be used on humans?"

Seeing Sister Qing staring at her with raised eyebrows, she clenched her hand again and said tensely: "Xin Wen and Xin Zhi said before he died that a special person like me will be taken apart and studied by you like those mysterious creatures. They also said, and said... In fact, your research on human experiments is no less than their research."

Sister Qing: "So you're worried about this? But I'm from the Human Body Science Department, and whatever I say sounds like the Queen of Killings is reciting sutras. Why don't you ask Lin Zheng directly for a while? You are the one they specially deal with now, even if I If I want to study you, I have to get his approval."

As she spoke, she winked and added, "I'm sure he will come today too."

Ling Jiangyue paused, pretending to be uncomfortable and avoiding her joking eyes.

……

Lin Zheng did come again, together with other people from the Special Investigation Division.

There was not a single suspected sighting during this period. They had nothing to do, so they gathered at the branch early in the morning to join in the fun, carrying breakfast bought from different places and sharing it together.

Xu Jiayan is a mountain biking fanatic. He rides for exercise in the early morning. Wearing professional equipment worth one-third of a suite, he rides more than ten kilometers to bring them porridge from a century-old steamed stuffed bun restaurant.

Jiang Yuxing yawned and picked out a cup of millet porridge from the breakfast he shared, took a sip and asked, "Where's Sister Jia?"

"It seems he went to answer the phone."

Jiang Yuxing raised the porridge and bowed three times to the sky: "Xinnan would like to offer a cup of delicious pumpkin millet porridge and pray that it will never be a new case."

After making the wish, Lin Jia happened to come back from the phone call and whispered to Lin Zheng who was enjoying the breeze: "Someone told me that the Ling family is re-collecting Ling Jiangyue's information on the orphanage."

Lin Zheng raised his head suddenly, and after a moment he looked dimly at the window of a testing room on the second floor of the branch.

A strange person: Don’t worry, the case will come soon.
