Wen Jiu's tone was very calm, and he didn't mean to ask questions at all.
"The talk about appearance changes caused by unknown reasons and the so-called genetic sequencing disorder are actually covering up the real cause, right?"
She had wanted to talk about this topic for a long time, but every time she mentioned it, Xu Wangming seemed reluctant to mention it, always trying to get past it.
Now was a good time, so she brought it up again.
Hearing this, Xu Wangming was silent for a while, then took off his glasses and pinched his eyebrows.
It can be seen that he is not in a good mood at this time, and is even a little irritable.
Wen Jiu just sat quietly waiting for an answer. She didn't want to be confused anymore. First her ears and teeth changed, and then she got an extra pair of ears inexplicably.
Anyone who encountered this would have doubts about life, but she was more curious and surprised.
After all, she has experienced something as outrageous as waking up and being transferred to another world. What could be more unbearable than this?
"well."
Xu Wangming thought for a long time, and finally sighed and began to speak slowly.
"Back then, I was selected into the Third Military Region because of my excellent academic performance. According to the usual practice, fresh graduates should start from the lowest level as a medical soldier in the team, go to the battlefield for a period of time and accumulate enough experience, and then based on the Performance is allocated to different places.”
"But for some unknown reason, I didn't start as a medical soldier with the team, but directly entered the internship at the affiliated research institute of the Third Military Region."
Then he slowly recalled some miscellaneous things from the past. These things were actually not important, but he just didn't want to think about the deepest memories.
It was as if he could forget the wrong things he had done unintentionally in the past by talking about irrelevant things enough and slowly.
However, blindly escaping was useless. Even if he took the opportunity to escape to Planet 3047 and tried to forget the troubling memories that made him toss and turn late at night, he could not erase the pain that became clearer as the night went on.
He thought that as long as he escaped far enough, he would no longer be exposed to those evil things.
But things went against expectations. Thinking of this, Xu Wangming's face became solemn and a bit sad.
"My qualifications at the time were too low and I couldn't participate in too many experiments. I could only do some observation and recording and simple preparation of medicines."
"I thought I had to keep doing these jobs to accumulate qualifications, but suddenly one day my superiors gave me an order to join a very important experimental project."
"I felt very lucky at that time, because there were just a few pharmacists missing from the project, and I had always been excellent at pharmaceutical preparation and research, so I was very motivated and just thought about making a contribution."
Having said this, Xu Wangming raised the corners of his mouth in a self-deprecating tone.
Wen Jiu was listening quietly, but she could guess that the experimental project should be the key.
So she asked softly: "Uncle Xu, what is that experimental project?"
Xu Wangming closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths. When he opened his eyes again, he felt a sense of vicissitudes of life.
"Human experiments," his voice trembled as he spoke, "They want to create creatures that can change between humans and beasts at will, and combine human genes with beast genes. It is said that such creatures have combat capabilities. Strong and talented.”
This time it was Wen Jiu's turn to be silent. Time travel was no big deal. She had successfully accepted the reality.
But this suddenly told her that she might be an experimental subject, and most likely an unknown creature that was half human and half beast.
She thought that she had not committed any heinous crimes when she was living in modern times, so why didn't even people fall for her?
"So, I'm not a human being?" Wen Jiu raised his trembling hand and pointed at himself.
Xu Wangming stared at her with a complicated expression, "Yes, you are not a human being."
The kitchen was quiet for a few seconds, and then the two of them laughed at the same time, which eased the previous heavy atmosphere.
"But Uncle Xu, why didn't you tell me before?" Wen Jiu put his face in one hand and leaned against the table in depression.
Hearing her question, Xu Wangming only said slowly: "On the one hand, it's because I don't want to recall the past, and on the other hand, it's because I'm not sure whether you are one of the experimental subjects."
"I was mainly responsible for the preparation of pharmaceuticals at the time. I actually didn't know the specific contents of the experiment, so I only knew some one-sided information."
"And it's not like I didn't tell you at all. Your appearance changes and genetic disorder are both true."
This news was somewhat beyond Wen Jiu's expectation. She thought Xu Wangming was just covering up, but she didn't expect it to be true.
So she asked again: "So you only decided after hearing what I said about long ears?"
"Well," Xu Wangming glanced over her head, "I have never had any contact with the experimental subjects, and I don't know their specific conditions after the experiment."
"I only heard a few words from the researchers who participated in the surgery, so I knew some of the symptoms that the experimental subjects would have after the surgery, such as genetic disorder, changes in appearance, and the growth of animal ears and tails."
After listening, Wen Jiu fell into deep thought again. If her guess was correct, the surgery Xu Wangming mentioned might be the so-called gene fusion.
This concept exists in modern times, but I don’t know what genetic fusion here looks like.
But she still has a question, that is, after she came to this world, she accepted all the memories of the original owner, but there was no part of them that was used as an experiment at all.
Is it because the original owner was too young to remember it as an experimental subject, or is it because someone erased this part of the original owner's memory?
Of course, there is another possibility. After a person suffers excessive trauma, he or she will develop a self-protection mechanism, allowing the brain to seal the painful memory that caused the trauma. In layman's terms, it is called selective amnesia.
It’s difficult to bring back the memory unless you revisit that traumatic point.
After much thought, Wen Jiu felt that the last option was the most likely.
But she didn’t know what the trauma point was, and she had no intention of self-abuse, so she could only put this issue aside for now.
"Later, I accidentally encountered an experimental subject escaping from the observation room. The misery was really hard for me to describe. So it wasn't long before I found an opportunity to leave the project, but the scene was really shocking."
"It can be said that I still can't forget it. I happened to meet your mother Yu at that time. She wanted to leave the Third Military Region and return to her hometown, so I came here with her."
After finishing speaking, Xu Wangming saw Wen Jiu sitting there deep in thought, so he took the initiative to clear up the table.
