C34 Deceiving Your Brain

I closed the diary, Shuyue had already finished half a pack of cigarettes.

"Why am I fine?"

At this point, my biggest question is why I didn't become a freak.

"In 1988, I was an intern for a master's in biology at a research institute in New York City. Before we were married, your father came to find me and insisted on having my sperm tested —" Shuyue recalled.

"What kind of phenomenon?"

"Ninety-nine percent of your father's sperm carry the Y chromosome, and less than one percent carry the X chromosome."

I was stunned.

Junior middle school organisms are also taught that the sex of the embryo is determined by the chromosome.

All girls have X chromosomes in their eggs, but boys have X chromosomes in their sperm and Y chromosomes.

If the sperm with the X chromosome is combined with the egg with the same X chromosome, then the child is XX — the girl.

On the other hand, if the sperm carrying the Y chromosome is combined with the egg carrying the X chromosome, then the child is the XY — the man.

This was a 50/50 chance, because the sperm carrying the X and Y chromosomes were exactly half as likely as throwing coins.

"Less than 1 percent of his sperm carries the X chromosome — in other words, your father's chances of having a boy in his family are above 99 percent, and a girl — you're just one percent."

"In the history of the Turgu family, men and women who get married give birth to boys. The reason for this is that the Turgu men carry a very special proportion of chromosomes."

"Then what does this have to do with the remaining freaks?"

"From a genetic point of view, almost all genetic diseases have one thing in common — passing down males without passing on females to females," Shuyue said as she looked at me.

"For example, most people with color blindness are men -- regardless of which parent has color blindness, the next generation is more than 50 percent more likely to be inherited if they are male. In girls, the prevalence rate is less than 20%. Bald is the same — if the father is bald, the chances of the son inheriting are more than 50%, and the daughter is bald, the odds are less than 20%. "

I ran my hand through my hair. "So, the weirdos in intermarriage are sex determined? Is it because it's a boy that you got a genetic disease? "

"The freak might not be a genetic disease, but it could also be a sign of atavism."

Shuyue suddenly became serious, "As for why your family married our family, my hypothesis is that our family's genes can compete with this kind of inherited disease, or perhaps, the phenomenon of returning to our ancestors."

"Wait, so you're saying, my grandfather's ancestor grew up to this state hundreds of years ago?" A bunch of people who looked like centipedes jumped out of my head and crawled around on the ground.

"Your father said that the only way to solve this mystery is to know what the Nazi German expedition found in Tibet …"

"But this has nothing to do with me. Why do you need my entire family to change their surnames and send me away?" My mind was a mess. "The Uncle Wang, Big Treasure and the polo shirt that I met when I went back home just now, they wanted to take away from me. Is that this diary?"

Shuyue shook her head.

"They're looking for something else. Your father predicted that something would happen to him, so she hid that thing. If one day something really happens to him, that thing will be our only bargaining chip. " Shuyue said: "The only person who can get that thing is you. Your dad said you'd understand when you read the diary. "

Ah?

Was it in the diary?

It didn't seem to be written. I rolled my eyes.

Something valuable? Could it be expensive furniture? Persian rug? Priceless photo collection? A 43 toy?

What the hell was this?

Ah!

Could it be!

A cheque for $50,000 that Maria had yet to cash?

My head is so big.

The clock on the wall had already reached two in the morning. I sat on the floor, staring at my diary in a daze. Shuyue and I were both thinking about something.

"Your father... Did he mention me in his diary? " Shuyue asked softly.

"He mentioned that Marquis Zhong had a kite with you." I handed her the open diary. But she did not answer.

"Only you know that this diary is the safest. If the other party is really able to read their brain, then one more person will be in danger. " Shuyue said to me.

"Then... Am I not in danger? " If they find out I've read this diary, they'll cut me in half and eat me alive.

"I told you not to look, yet you insisted on looking. Are you afraid now?" Shuyue snorted, and started bickering with me again.

"I... I'm not afraid! But I haven't confronted them directly yet. I'm in the dark! Sun Zijun has always said that knowing oneself and knowing one's enemy is the best way to win a hundred battles. What I'm worried about is that before I could figure out who the enemy was, they would have already killed me. " I argued.

Even though I said that, I actually didn't feel reassured at all. This … The other party wasn't a human! If not for Alpha shooting at his head, my parents would have died a long time ago.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine for now." Shuyue sighed: "It still needs you."

You need me? What can I do? Don't tell me you have to rely on me to solve the maze again.

"Tell me first, what happened on your way home?" Shuyue's tone changed abruptly, "It's just as you said, knowing yourself and knowing your enemy, only then will you be victorious in every battle. Although you don't know who it is, he must have seen you before. Maybe we can analyze their abilities and limitations from this. "

"I..."

In succession, I told Shuyue about the Uncle Wang and Big Treasure, my security CP and my uncle's polo shirt that I was not able to see, as well as the car crash.

After Shuyue finished listening, the first question she asked me was:

"Did you see what Big Treasure looked like?"

Ah?

When I saw Big Treasure downstairs, he ate an ice cream. The Uncle Wang was wiping it on his face, and the ice cream had smeared half of his face.

My father was in trouble at the time, and I was distracted and didn't take a good look. In the elevator, I heard him ask me what floor I was going to.

"Do you mean that the child is not Big Treasure? But isn't it blond hair and blue eyes? "I remember Great Treasure …" I thought about it again, but that didn't seem to mean anything. Her hair could be dyed, and her eyes could wear beautiful eyes. When I saw the Uncle Wang walking over with a child in tow, I subconsciously assumed that he was the Uncle Wang's son. At that time, my mind was filled with my father's matters, so I didn't pay much attention to Da Bao.

"Hmph, it's impossible for it to not know which floor you live on. This monster will ask questions to guide a person before he or she finds out about his or her brainwave. I think it asked you to see if you would lie to him. " Shuyue snorted and said:

"If you are not lying, then it proves that you do not know who it is and that you are not prepared for it. It's a good thing you don't know anything, or it might have taken care of you in the elevator. "

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, still having some lingering fear. "So he controlled the Uncle Wang?"

Shuyue nodded.

"Then why can't the security guard see me?"

"My conjecture is that it can deceive a person's brain in some way —" Shuyue lit another cigarette.

"There is a problem in the brain field that has been debated for many years - when we look at the world, do we really 'directly' see the world, or 'indirectly' see the world?"

"I prefer the latter. Our way of looking at the world is to receive light through the eyes, sound through the ears, smell through the nose, and so on, and then transmit this information to the brain, where it is processed before it is used by us. But the brain is actually a machine full of holes. Every day, when it receives a lot of information, it chooses to sacrifice its correctness in exchange for its speed. So if it can hint to the brain that there's no one in front of you, then the brain will pass this conclusion back to the eyes, and the eyes will immediately screen you off the balcony, and the security guards will naturally be unable to see you. "

"Do you dare to speak human words?"

Do you know that in the real world, saying such academic words would cause one to lose powder?

"Have you taken a photo? Did you notice that when you looked back at the photo, the person in it didn't look like you at all? "

There is!

The main reason why I especially hate photography is that every time I look at myself in the mirror, I feel that my looks aren't that far off from those of Purple Vine. I don't know why, but for some reason, I turn into Senior Servant Rong after taking a photo.

"That's how your brain deceived you — when you look in the mirror, your brain comes to the conclusion that 'I'm beautiful' and then passes it on to your retina, so you see yourself as at least 50 percent better than you really are. — But the camera doesn't lie."

"The monster must have hinted to the guard CP's brain that their brain was convinced that there was no one on the balcony, so their eyes automatically ignored you."

"Since 43 is so amazing, why don't you just give me a hint in my head and tell me what you want me to do?" I curled my lips.

"Do you think they haven't touched you? They must have tried you more or less over the years and come to the conclusion that you really don't know the truth. " Shuyue rolled her eyes.

I thought of the strange uncles that had appeared by my side frequently in the past few years, who were chasing after Shuyue.

Although they have also invited me to eat quite a few delicious things, sometimes I feel that their interest towards me even surpasses Shuyue's.

"Is Uncle Polo under his control?"

Shuyue nodded her head: "Moreover, they probably used aggressive brain waves to invade the brain … … Even if the Uncle Wang and the Polo shirt were out of control, a large area of brain damage would occur … may go crazy. "

"My dad... Were they killed by them? "

Unexpectedly, Shuyue did not deny it nor confirm it. Instead, she turned her face away:

"All these years, we all thought that the matter is over. A few months ago, I saw your father and he said that he was going to Tibet … He said that after this trip, everything would be over … " Shuyue's voice was choked with emotions.

"We all thought that we had won..."

I looked at the notebook in my hand.

"Just what do they want …?"

"I don't know, but at least they want you right now."
