Mysterious creature sightings

Special Branch Headquarters.

After Lin Zheng arrived at the base, he entered the archives room. Some of the research record videos found in Lu Dezhi's laboratory were played on the mobile screen.

It is the record of Experimental Subject No. 11, a study on the corpus callosum incision surgery.

To put it more simply, it should be called split-brain research.

The human brain is divided into two hemispheres: the left and right hemispheres. The left hemisphere controls the right side of the body and is responsible for language, thinking, and wanted abilities; the right side controls the left side of the body and is responsible for spatial structure and artistic abilities.

The corpus callosum is responsible for the transmission of information between the left and right hemispheres.

Since the 40s, scientists have performed corpus callosum surgery on patients with epilepsy who cannot be treated with medication, so that the patient's epilepsy will not be "infected" to the other side of the brain.

However, after surgery, the patient's left and right brains are unable to transmit information, and they are unable to coordinate and control body behavior. They are called "split-brain people."

In the 60s, Sperry and others from the Department of Biology at the University of California began research on split-brain people. Among them, the most eye-catching ones are "Does the right hemisphere have autonomous consciousness?" "Is a split-brain person considered two people in one body?" etc.

Lu Gezhi probably also wants to know the answers to these questions, and is committed to finding special individuals among these corpus callosum surgery patients - it is very possible to find them, after all, autistic patients tend to have geniuses who only focus on half of the brain. Maybe people can too.

It is the tacit maxim of the scientific community that bad luck creates special circumstances.

In the video, after Lu Gezhi injected drugs into the child on the restraint chair, he softly asked the child how he was feeling, like a well-meaning elder asking for help.

Then he released three spiders that looked very poisonous based on their color on the left side of No. 11. They were packed in unstable transparent boxes, fixed on No. 11's head, and separated the left and right visual fields for him to observe.

"Did you see anything?"

"No."

"It's about to crawl onto your hand, do you really not see it?"

"No...Uncle Lu, what is it? I'm a little scared."

"Don't be afraid. Can you point out the green one to me?"

No. 11 pointed to the spider on the far left without hesitation, but still said: "I can't see, there is nothing."

Lu Gezhi was very happy. It seemed that No. 11’s reaction gave this experiment a good start.

"Good boy, you have met No. 7's spider friend."

Lin Zheng's jaw tightened and his eyes were heavy.

Are those three spiders alive, and one of them is the famous black widow? Can it be a friend of a human child?

Although this recorded video does not include the process of Ling Jiangyue undergoing the experiment, human experiments have many things in common, including drugs, electric current, and surgery. These three items cannot be avoided.

Looking at the pain of No. 11 shaking and struggling after being injected with drugs, the fear after knowing that he had become strange, and the fear of unknown creatures approaching, you can imagine the state of Ling Jiangyue being tied to that restraint chair.

While Lin Zheng was still staring at the screen, Lu Gezhi removed the spider and put a brain electrical stimulator on No. 11.

The gleaming needle penetrated No. 11's scalp, and the intensity of the electric current released exceeded the range that a normal child could bear. No. 11 cried out in fear and pain, and soon began to twitch and spasm.

Lu Gezhi remained unmoved, standing behind the camera, observing and recording data, mumbling something.

At this time, the camera shook, Lu Gezhi turned around and looked behind him, with the experimental notebook written on it.

He asked someone displeased: "What's going on?"

"The living body that was put into the salt water pool swam so fast that she had no time to control it. She was so afraid that she had to look for an exit everywhere. She almost suffocated and fainted."

"It's useless. Mescaline used on her is a waste. It's all used to imagine fear. I will increase the amount of sedative tomorrow." "But increasing the amount will also affect her brain."

"The impact is the impact. It just so happens that there is still a left-hemisphere split-brain control group on the 11th."

"Don't be angry, Professor Lu, No. 7 is your favorite child."

The keyword touched Lin Zheng's nerves, but his expression remained unchanged. He could only see the dim light from the screen hitting his face, and the shadows cast by his browbones and the bridge of his nose made him look a little gloomy.

But in fact, the veins on his forehead popped out, and his palms were tightly clasped on the corner of the file shelf. The sharp corners pierced the palms, and blood flowed downwards.

The sound in the video continued, but he couldn't listen anymore. He bent down, rested his thighs with his elbows, and covered his eyes with his clean hand.

When Lin Jia knocked on the door and entered, he still maintained the same action.

"The research projects of the four escaped experimental subjects have been clearly distinguished... What's wrong with you?"

Lin Zheng shook his head silently, turned off the light in his corner, and sat in the darkness.

"go on."

Lin Jia looked at him hesitantly and then said: "Most of Lu Gezhi's experiments are about biological grafting, especially for some special organisms. In addition, they are also the study of brain function."

"No. 1 is in vivo remote sensing, No. 6 is in pontine division, and No. 9 is in poorly differentiated cells. Among them, No. 1 was only three years old when he underwent the experiment..." Lin Jia took a deep breath and continued -

"No. 1 is most likely dead. No. 6 has not been recorded since seven years ago. I don't know what happened. No. 9 may be alive."

She ignored the person in the middle, and Lin Zheng asked, "Where's No. 7?"

"No. 7 is a bit special. The experimental project was changed midway. It started with emotional visualization, and later became biological perception and control. Other projects use certain characteristics of living things to transform the human body. Her transformation project is for perception. and capturing organisms.”

Lin Jia summed it up: "This ability is completely an accomplice created by them."

Lin Zheng sat in the darkness and said nothing. After a while, he spoke out: "Who do you think is the real person in this case?"

"No. 7." Lin Jia answered without even thinking.

"But something doesn't make sense. Why was she able to escape from the laboratory? Experimental subjects of this level have strict protective measures."

"Since you escaped and threw Lu Germanium into the salt water pool in revenge, why did you risk coming back? According to the information, Hua Chunyao and Gong Yintao did not participate in Lu Germanium's experiment."

"Even if it is related, the laboratory collapsed for a year, why did they only take action a year later?"

Lin Jia looked at him. In this dimly lit archives room, her eyes were actually very sharp.

"We don't need to figure out all the reasons. We just need to wait around the victim who is about to suffer, and catch the experimental subject who did it. If we can't catch it, we can follow their identity information to check. You also said that you have escaped. After being away for a year, there will always be some among them who can’t help but go home and recognize their relatives.”

Even the breathing could not be heard in the corner. Lin Jia stared at the statue-like person in the dimness and said: "Or you can tell me directly, the one you found out from the neuron reflex equipment yesterday..."

"Brother Lin, Sister Jia!" Jiang Yuxing's shouts from far to near interrupted what she was about to say.

"The staff of the Special Case Section are here. Zhanyan said that based on their experience in handling cases, the experimental subject is likely to attack the third person today. We'd better use this time to arrest the person."

The old desk lamp in the corner was turned on, Lin Zheng stood up, his hands were wrapped with gauze, his face was calm.

After the gauze was tightened, he picked up the gun from the table, took off the safety catch with the injured hand, and clenched the gun butt in his palm, ready to shoot at any time.

"Everyone is assigned to cooperate with the Special Case Section. The experimental subjects have special abilities. Try to avoid direct conflicts. Anesthesia injection is the first choice."

"If there is no way to avoid it, you can just shoot."
