"Fang Xi, nonsense, come to my office, immediately."

Huaguo 033 Life Science Research Institute, research five departments and one department, a low baritone voice came from the small radio in the office, and several staff members looked at the two young people at the same time.

The two young men glanced at each other, and one of them looked suspicious and asked, "Comrade Hu, as far as I know, there are no 'topics' worth mentioning in our five departments recently, right?" We all know the temperament of the leader, calling us over at this time is a bit unreasonable, you honestly explain, did you take the leader's cigarette when you were criticized last time...... And it's still unpacked? ”

The person who spoke was only in his early twenties, wearing an ordinary white shirt, and the person called "Lao Hu" was actually only this age, but he had a long beard, although it looked like he should have shaved it usually, but looking at the stubble on his face today, it is estimated that the last time he dealt with it was a week ago, so he looks a lot older.

Lao Hu looked wronged, and spread his hands: "Recently, the leaders have either held a meeting, or I don't know what to think about in the office alone, even if I have both a thief's heart and a thief's guts, I don't have the ability to touch it." ”

"Oh? That's right, you don't seem to have that much ability. ”

Although the two of them were talking, their movements never fell, and they had already walked out of the department quickly as they spoke.

"Report!"

"Come in."

The two pushed the door in, and a middle-aged man wearing a black jacket with a dignified face raised his head, shifted his gaze from the stack of spread documents on the desk to their faces, and said directly without half a word of nonsense: "Go back and prepare, and in forty minutes, follow me to Yingkou." ”

The two young men were surprised, looked at each other, and asked Hu Dao: "Leader, which Yingkou to go to?" Liaodong one? ”

"Yes."

"Yingkou has a problem?" He suddenly remembered something: "Huh? I remember, it seems that two days ago, people from three places also went to Yingkou? ”

The leader replied calmly: "Your memory is terrible. Not two days ago, just yesterday morning, the remains of a giant creature suspected of being a 'dragon' were found in the reeds near the mouth of the Juli River in Yingkou. The comrades of the three places immediately went over to cordon off the scene and dealt with the impact. However, this morning, the Su Division suddenly contacted the Li Office and asked us to send people to the local area immediately to assist in five or six of our departments. ”

The two young men looked at each other in amazement, and Hu Dao was surprised: "Suspected of being a 'dragon' corpse? Did you go up from the sea? Is there such a legendary creature? ”

Fang Xi looked puzzled and asked: "Leader, if you want to say that the people of our special research institute, the weird monsters have seen a lot, whether the thing they found is a 'dragon' or not, even if there is really a 'dragon', three and six, a marine research office, a biological ability research office, it is considered a correct thing to go, but if they go, it will be over?" Our five places are the Human Abilities Research Division, so they should have nothing to do with this 'subject', so what can we help with in the past? ”

"Whether it is a dragon or not, we have to wait for the reports of the three and six places, and then hand it over to one place for analysis and judgment. As for us, we should just go and wipe their butts. ”

The leader's tone seemed to be a little dissatisfied, but it was still calm, as if the "dragon", a creature known as the totem of China, was not enough for him to cause surprise: "According to Su's report to Li Suo, at least 30 witnesses saw this 'dragon'.

What's more troublesome is that some of these witnesses saw 'dragons flying in the sky', some saw 'dragons falling from the sky and falling into the reeds', and some only saw dead 'dragons'. ”

"Oh, I see." Fang Xi slapped his forehead, "This is to lock the relevant memories of these witnesses." ”

The leader was noncommittal, his eyelids drooped, and said, "Go and prepare." ”

The two of them had nothing to say at this time, and after the voice came out, Hu Dao shook his head, and said with old-fashioned emotion: "Since I entered our 033, I have really seen a lot of strange things." It's like the little girl last time, obviously only seven years old, but she actually 'remembers' the situation of her 'previous life' in the Qing Dynasty, what customs, clothing, and various things in the local area at that time, including the street layout of the old county town, are not bad...... Eh, it's been three years since she was 'invited' by us to come to the 033 Institute, why hasn't she come to a conclusion yet?

Hey, it's even better now, there's actually a dragon! If this is really a 'dragon', you say, are all biologists, historians, folklorists, etc., going crazy? This is the totem of our Chinese nation, didn't it be said to be fiction before, but what is the gradual evolution? Eh, do you think this dragon really exists...... Stuff? ”

Fang Dan hesitated: "I vaguely remember that it seems that before the liberation, there was a dragon falling incident in Yingkou, and the conclusion of that time seemed to be that some kind of Jiao dried up, and later it was interpreted that it was actually a fin whale stranded and died...... As for the historical documents, there are many such dragon falling incidents far and near. But the problem is that there is no empirical evidence for the far ones, and the near ones will always disappear for various reasons, in short, the final result is inconclusive, so if you ask me if it's true or not, I really don't know. ”

Hu Dao's eyes widened: "Did something similar happen after the establishment of our 033 Institute?" Did 033 intervene? I said, is there really a dragon, but it can't be known to the public, so the news is blocked? ”

Fang Xi shook his head: "Didn't the leader say it, it's a dragon or not a dragon, you have to go and see it first." And this matter, in the final analysis, the three and six places are the right ones, and the five of us are just going to make soy sauce. As for whether we have dealt with any falling dragon incidents in the past, it is also in vain for you to ask me, the two of us entered the 033 Institute together, do you know what you don't know?

If you're really interested, I'd suggest you go to one or three places and ask, or maybe someone else will know about them. In contrast, I am more concerned about the thirty-odd witnesses. ”

When he said this, Hu Dao suddenly remembered something, and said strangely: "Hey, don't you say that I forgot, this thing is strange, what do you want me to do about locking up the relevant memories of witnesses?" I don't have the ability to do this, is the boss planning to kill people? ”

"If your words are heard by the leaders, you will be confined for another week." Fang Xi hurriedly glared at him: "Besides, you don't have this ability, do I have it?" ”

"Didn't the leader say you belong to the primary brain ability? Creating hallucinations, correcting thoughts, falsifying memory...... You can't handle these high-end gadgets, but you can do a memory blockade for these ordinary people, you can always do this kind of thing, right? But I'm different, I have a special 'body part ability', but I have a 'strong gecko claw', and I can't make sense to be involved in this matter. ”

Fang Xi shrugged: "Although our brothers only entered 033 last year, and it has only been a short 10 months now, as two people with normal brains, they have participated in three 'topics' and read at least dozens of detailed files, I think we must understand the basic common sense of 033......

That is: there are few normal people in 033! Even those who don't have dominant abilities are not normal in their knowledge, right? What's more, it's our leader! ”

"No, your thinking is a little jumpy, what does this have to do with what I said? And you're sure your brain can still be in the normal category...... Belch? ”

When Hu Dao said this, he suddenly patted his head, looking like he suddenly realized, and then looked around mysteriously, and whispered: "I heard that our leader has a sixth sense, do you think he expected that there was any trouble in Yingkou this time, just fucking need our brothers and sisters to go over in the new era to get it?" ”

Fang Yi rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "I said can we be a little self-aware, at the level of our brothers - the ability is basically given in vain, and the knowledge is purely at the bottom, and being able to appear in 033 is already a bit of a drag, so I'm sorry, you still have the face to mention the word 'talent'?" ”

Hu Dao listened, although he was also a little stupid, but he still muttered: "There are more than 1.3 billion people in the country, how many of us are 033?" Including the large number of classified scientists in one place, and even including the sweeping and cooking in the institute, can there be a thousand three? Far from it, right? Then let's calculate it according to one thousand three, what proportion is this, tell me? A million to one, brother! It is a million people to produce a talent like our brothers! It can be seen that we are definitely the backbone of the country and the elite of the nation now, can you not be so arrogant? ”

"Come on, you, Comrade Lao Hu, the national cadre and the national elite, this is all in the dormitory, hurry up, bring your lace panties and go with the leader." Fang Xi said angrily, opened the door and entered the room opposite the Hu Dao dormitory, and slammed the door with his backhand.

Hu Dao was so angry that he patted his door and shouted, "I have your sister's lace panties!" After roaring, he was suddenly stunned and touched his nose: "Why is this so awkward?" Seeing that Fang Xi ignored it completely, he also opened the door of his dormitory and sorted out his belongings.

At 4:20 p.m. on March 24, 2008, a small military transport plane took off from an air force airfield in the capital and flew towards Liaodong.

At 5:35 p.m., three people walked down from the transport plane at a certain military airport in Gangshan. The first one was about forty years old, and the two young men behind him, about twenty-three or fourteen years old, all three had serious faces.

An officer in a lieutenant colonel uniform greeted him from the side of a military plate A6L, first saluted from a distance, and then stretched out his right hand: "Welcome chief." ”

The middle-aged man returned a military salute, shook hands with him, and said, "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, is the car ready?" ”

The lieutenant colonel replied: "Yes, chief, we immediately made preparations after receiving the notice, this car belongs to our division headquarters, it is a new car that has been incorporated this year, and the division commander personally instructed to transfer it for the use of the commander. Before the transfer, it was inspected once, and the main components were in good working order, ensuring fast and safe travel. ”

The middle-aged man nodded: "It's hard work, let the driver get down, let's drive ourselves." Then he turned his head to Fang Xi and Hu Dao behind him and said, "Get in the car." ”

The lieutenant colonel hesitated slightly, but still called the driver out of the car, and then the three of them got into the car.

Before getting into the car, the "leader" glanced at Hu Dao, Hu Dao consciously went to be the driver, Fang Dan went to the co-pilot, and when the leader himself got into the car without saying a word, A6L started immediately, drove out of the airport quickly, and drove away in the direction of Yingkou.

At this time, two lieutenants came over beside the lieutenant colonel, and one of them looked curious: "Minister, is this the leader from the central government?" Such a big shelf? Why didn't you wear a military uniform...... What level? ”

The lieutenant colonel watched the Audi disappear from the dust, shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

"Huh?" The two lieutenants were very curious: "Then let's not talk about preparing cars for people in such a hurry, we actually brought them to check before leaving the car, and in the end they didn't even want a driver...... How big of a task is that? ”

The lieutenant colonel glanced at them and said softly: "I only know that the division commander said that this is an 'order issued by the Military Commission Office', and I don't know anything else, understand?" If you understand, you should control your mouth, resolutely do not ask what you shouldn't ask, and resolutely don't say what you shouldn't say. ”

"Yes." The two lieutenants immediately shut up.

At 6:45 p.m., a military Audi drove eleven miles north of the mouth of the Yingkou Juli River, where a five-kilometer section had been blocked in a semicircle. According to the information obtained earlier, the strength of a battalion was fully mobilized.

A thin old man in his fifties walked over, saw the middle-aged man in the car get out of the car, and immediately greeted him: "Zhang, you can be regarded as coming, this 'topic' is a bit troublesome." ”

Zhang is the director of the fifth division of the 033 Institute, the direct leader of Fang Xi and Hu Dao. He listened to the old man's words and nodded lightly: "Old Su, I heard Li say that there is a lot of trouble here, and there are our people missing?" ”

This new news surprised Fang Xi and Hu Dao behind him, and they stared at each other with round eyes, but they didn't dare to say anything.

A flash of melancholy flashed on Su Chu's face, and he nodded solemnly, although there was no one around, he still said: "Let's go, let's look at the scene and say that this place has been temporarily listed as a military restricted area in the name of military exercises, but now it seems that ...... I'm afraid it's not necessarily safe. After that, he handed over three sets of special masks, and took out another mask, opened it and put it on.

Zhang Chu's eyes narrowed slightly, took the mask and put it on, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Fang Xi and Hu Dao didn't know why, but they also took the mask and put it on.

After walking more than a kilometer, there was a huge fishy smell in the air, and it was very strong. Fang Xi and Hu Dao only felt that wearing masks stinked and dizzy, especially Hu Dao, and couldn't help but say, "Is the corpse of that thing rotting?" It stinks too! I think it's very necessary for us to upgrade this torn mask into a gas mask......"

Su Chu looked worried, sighed and said, "There are no corpses left." ”

Hu Dao and Fang Xi were stunned for a moment, not understanding the meaning of these words, but Zhang Chu just frowned and didn't speak.

In a short time, the reeds had arrived. I saw a huge skeleton about 15 meters long curled up in the reedy swamp area, the skin and flesh had completely rotted into black "corpse water", and it was vaguely seen that the outside of this "dragon" might have been black.

Now there are about a dozen people around the corpse, some are taking pictures, some are recording, and some appear to have taken some bones, flesh and other body tissues, and are being examined on the spot. All were wearing hazmat suits, and the few closest to the remains even wore gas masks.

Zhang Chu frowned and asked, "What exactly is this thing, do you have a conclusion in the three places?" Also, what is the so-called trouble? ”

"There is no clear conclusion yet, judging from its previous body surface composition and body trait composition, it can basically be determined that it is a marine animal."

Su Chu didn't seem to be going to say too much about the professional analysis, just shook his head: "As for the trouble, there are two now, one is the corpse of this unknown creature, which had almost no tendency to decay in the previous two days, but it quickly decomposed and deteriorated last night, and today it has become what you see now." ”

Zhang Chu looked at the wreckage and didn't speak, but Hu Dao said: "Maybe this thing has a strange structure, it is automatically fresh-keeping at first, and after two days, the fresh-keeping ability is used up, and it will rot immediately, just like some special foods expire." ”

Fang Xi saw that he began to talk nonsense again, and hurriedly said: "Su Chu, he just can't control a rotten mouth, he loves nonsense, and he wants to prove that he is not so unlearned, and he doesn't have the slightest look...... You continue, you continue. ”

"The possibility he said didn't necessarily exist, but we've ruled it out." Su Chu shook his head slightly and continued: "The key is last night...... Just last night, the teeth of the unknown creature, as well as the two irregular, cone-like bones on its head, disappeared. In addition, the three inmates we left to guard it in turn also disappeared. ”

Zhang Chu stared at the monster's bones and the flesh that almost turned into corpse water, frowned and asked, "Su Chu, if you assume that this is indeed a 'dragon', then the two 'irregular cone-shaped bones' that it disappeared are not the so-called dragon horns?" ”

Su Chu's face was very bad: "That's right, if it's a dragon, you can understand it like this: the dragon's teeth and dragon horns are gone." ”

"And we're missing three people." Zhang then added.

Su Chu nodded heavily.

Zhang Chu suddenly turned his head and asked, "Fang Xi, what do you think?" ”

Fang Xi was a little stunned, and hesitated: "Huh? I? This one...... I think there must be some connection between these two things, could it be that someone killed three of our comrades in order to steal the 'dragon's teeth' and 'dragon's horns'? ”

Zhang Chu's face was expressionless, and he just said: "This place was already a military restricted area last night, and there are at least ten comrades with different abilities in the third and sixth places participating in the research here. ”

Obviously, what he meant was that it was unlikely that either conventional or unconventional forces would quietly intervene and quietly walk away, taking with them three inmates.

Hu Dao hurriedly said: "Fang Dan is a student of paleography, where does he know this?" I think so......"

"I didn't ask you." Zhang Chu interrupted him, "Fang Dan is a student of paleography, he doesn't know, so you, a student of physical education, know?" ”

"Uh......" nonsense's words were blocked, and he held back a constipation-like entanglement.

Zhang Chu turned to Su Chu and said, "The Sixth Division should have arrived before us, what do they think?" ”

Su Chu's brows furrowed even tighter, and he shook his head and said: "The comrades of the sixth department looked at the photos we took before, as well as the results of the tissue tests of various parts of the body of this creature in the past two days, and finally came to three preliminary conclusions that were far from accurate: first, the creature should be a marine animal; second, the composition of the teeth and horns of the creature is different from that of any animal body composition that we currently know, whether terrestrial or aquatic; Third, according to the physiological structure of the creature, it should not have the ability to fly from the perspective of common sense. ”

Zhang Chu stared: "However, I remember that there were witnesses who clearly stated that they saw the dragon - that is, the creature - flying in the sky. ”

Su Chu sighed and nodded heavily: "Yes, and there are seven witnesses who swear that they have seen it with their own eyes, and after going through our three completely different polygraph procedures, including the paranormal polygraph, we believe that everything they state is indeed the truth - or at least, what they think is the truth. ”

Fang Dan and Hu Dao looked at each other in astonishment, it was obvious that according to the current situation, this matter had come to a dead end.

Zhang Chu's face remained unchanged, and he said: "The three of you are the main research units of this topic, and you can decide how to deal with the matter." Now just tell me, what are we going to do in the five places? ”

Su Chu still had that gloomy face, and he nodded: "The witnesses' confessions have been recorded, which can ensure that nothing is obviously missing, and now we need the comrades of the Fifth Division to block their relevant memories." ”

Zhang Chu asked calmly, "Temporary, or permanent?" If it is temporary, how long is the lockdown? ”

"Permanently blocking part of the memory is too damaging to the human brain, and it is also dangerous. The main purpose of our work is research, and the purpose of research is to protect our compatriots from unknown harm, so we should not take the initiative to harm our compatriots, this is a matter of principle and cannot be discussed.

Therefore, I think it is better to have a temporary lockdown for a period of 60 years...... The youngest of the witnesses was eleven years old, and sixty years later they would be seventy-one years old, and if they were still alive at that time, even if they suddenly said that they had seen a dragon flying in the sky when they were children, they would only be regarded as a conjecture under the influence of Alzheimer's disease, and no one would believe it. ”

Speaking of this, Su Chu paused slightly, nodded again to make a confirmation, and added: "With the ability of the five places, this should be easy. ”

"Did you get the authorization to enforce the memory block? Also, where are those witnesses now? ”

Although it is not difficult for people with relevant abilities to block citizens' memories, it is obviously impossible to carry out without authorization, and the relevant authorization must be in place, otherwise it will have to be messed up.

"There is no direct authorization, but higher levels of authorization have been obtained in advance, and memory locking is permitted under this authorization, so you can rest assured that all procedures are lawful, reasonable, and necessary. Now please rest for a while, comrades, and I will make the final confirmations, and at the same time issue and file the authorization documents allowing the 'stage memory blockade' of the relevant witnesses, and then I will send someone to take you there. ”

"Okay." After Zhang Chu finished speaking, he walked straight to the side and found a clean grass to sit down, without the slightest posture of a big leader.

Fang Dan and Hu Dao naturally followed, and they were not polite, so they sat down next to the leader.

After sitting down, Fang Dan asked with some hesitation: "Leader, is this decision of the Su Division a bit ...... Odd? If the memories are blocked, won't their families ask about the fact that these witnesses were temporarily detained here for two or three days after they go back? At that time, they will have no memory of this section again, this must not be revealed? ”

Zhang Chu looked at the sea level in the distance expressionlessly, and after a long while, he suddenly asked, "You two, it's been almost a year since you arrived at 033, right?" ”

The two of them nodded inexplicably.

"Then you shouldn't be like ordinary people, looking at any decision made by 033 with the same way that ordinary people think."

Fang Dan coughed dryly and didn't speak again. Hu Dao understood on the contrary, and said with a wink: "Comrade Lao Fang, I think your worries are unnecessary. ”

Fang Dan didn't dare to argue with Zhang, but it didn't mean that he didn't dare to argue with Hu Dao, so he was dissatisfied at that time, and said: "Then Comrade Hu, what do you think?" ”

Hu Dao grinned and said, "Su Chu's words are obviously just a task for you, because with your primary brain ability, at most, you can block their memories, and the time limit to block them now is sixty years, I think this task is quite difficult for you." As for the other things, there must be some changes to their memories...... I guess this part is to be done by our Zhang Division, they have been colleagues for so many years, and some things must be known without saying. Zhang, do you think I'm right? ”

Zhang Chu's face still had a hint of expression, but he affirmed Hu Dao's words: "Yes." ”

Hu Dao laughed happily, and squeezed his eyebrows at Fang Dan: "Old Fang, I'll just say that your primary brain supplement ability is not very good." ”

Fang Dan rolled his eyes, not bothering to pay attention to him.

Primary brain ability,It's just the name of the results tested in a rating mode set by 033.,In fact, there are many forms of "ability",The strength of its "alienation" is also very different.,Some institutions similar to 033 in other countries,There are also different ratings and corresponding names for abilities.。

In SCP-033's internal rating mode, the brain ability is probably the most complex.

The brain is the most magical and mysterious part of the human body, and its ability is also the one with the most manifestations of "alienation", such as Fang Dan's brain ability, which is defined as "active brainwave magnetic field interconnection alienation ability" in the 033 Institute.

This ability is very complicated to explain in detail. But if you want to put it more simply, it is according to the active consciousness of the ability owner, by "frequency modulating" his own brainwave magnetic field to the same as the target person's brainwave magnetic field, and then relying on the brainwaves that are far more powerful than ordinary people, forcibly influencing the target person's consciousness and behavior.

According to the guidance of a researcher comrade, Fang Dan also knew that his ability could also evolve many specific functions, and memory blocking was only one of the simpler ones. However, Fang Dan's "Ability Manifestness" is still very weak, and there are only a few two or three abilities that he can use now, and he is still far from being able to directly control the behavior of others.

Although Fang Dan has such an ability, he actually doesn't understand the so-called principle of this ability, that is, the active brainwave magnetic field interconnection or something. He studied in the Department of Chinese Language and Writing, and his main focus was paleolinguistics, and he was a complete layman for things like brain waves, and his level was so low that even researchers couldn't explain it to him.

In fact, the study of the principles of these abilities has always been the responsibility of Unit 033. In Institute 033, the official name of one place is the Office of Integrated Information Analysis, and it is full of scientists and senior researchers of various categories.

It can be said that one is the real core department of 033 cutting-edge technology, and the other from the second to the ninth are various offices.

At that time, the country set up the 033 Institute, in addition to dealing with the competition and oppression of some world powers in this field, and also hoped that through the study of these abilities and anomalies, some functions that could be artificially obtained and conducive to human progress - and even evolution - were developed, so that those abilities no longer only rely on "God's grant", but can benefit more ordinary people.

According to this purpose, when 033 Institute was first established, the most important topics were such as "rapid reorganization and regeneration of defective muscles", "rapid reorganization and regeneration of defective bones", "rapid reorganization and regeneration of necrotic nerves", etc., which were obviously biased towards the direction of "longevity" that Chinese people have been yearning for since ancient times.

Next to this category are abilities such as muscle strengthening, bone strengthening, nerve sensitivity enhancement [perception] or weakening [tolerance].

After twenty or thirty years of development, the research of the 033 Institute has gradually entered the point where a hundred flowers have bloomed, and various people with different abilities have gradually been absorbed into the 033 Institute, which has also made the country's understanding of the abilities more in-depth.

However, with Fang Dan's level, of course, it is impossible to know the extent to which the research of these abilities has reached.

In fact, he had occasionally heard of experiments that had been conducted in other countries. For example, the so-called "fearless warriors" in the former Soviet Union and the so-called "freedom guards" in the lighthouse country seem to be biased towards fighting, but they have not heard of similar plans being implemented in their own countries.

As a good young man, he was deeply worried about this at the time, so he even went to Zhang with Hu Dao, proposing that "we should also have a corresponding plan", and thought that "Hu Dao's right hand ability can be considered for use in this super soldier plan".

Then, they were kicked out of the office with a blank face.

The two enthusiastic young men received only one sentence: "Go out and do your job well is the greatest reward to the motherland!" ”

The two men who stepped into the office with a majestic spirit rolled out with a frown.

At this time, almost forty minutes had passed, and Su still had not returned.

Although Zhang Chu was still closing his eyes and recuperating, Fang Dan and Hu Dao already looked like "an unstable wax", and in the end, Hu Dao was even more uncomposed: "Leader, I see that the people in the third and sixth places seem to be suddenly a lot busier, and they are walking much faster, and Su Dao is still not here, so it shouldn't be that something happened again, right?" ”

It was as if he was asleep, not responding at all, not even his breathing rate changed in the slightest.

Fang Dan thought for a while, and suddenly said: "I suddenly thought of something, if that ...... 'Dragon Teeth' and 'Dragon Horns' are still there, is it possible to bring in the Seven Places to study together?" ”

Hu Dao was attracted by his words, forgot his question just now, and replied: "I think it is possible, seven places are unconventional substance research offices, these 'dragon teeth', 'dragon horns' or something, I think they should be regarded as unconventional substances, right?" ”

He then said with relief: "But it's not surprising, although our institute is divided into so many places, many topics do need to be studied in more than one place. ”

At this time, Zhang Chu suddenly stood up and said, "Something happened, come with me." Then he didn't care about the reaction of the two, and walked quickly in the direction of the "dragon corpse".
