Chapter 168 About Werewolves
When the time was almost the same, the three of them took a taxi to the high-speed rail station to wait for the ticket check. For the next ten hours, they had to stay on the train and survive. There was no way to book a flight ticket temporarily.
Fortunately, the train was not boring, and the man and woman who were separated by Chen Yuyue and the others almost stopped their mouths throughout the whole process.
A man in his thirties showed his head near the aisle, with a beard all over his face, and a young girl in her early twenties near the window, with pointed chin and big eyes, and a standard internet celebrity face.
The two seemed to have just met each other, but they were having a very speculative conversation.
The beard should be the kind of person who is very good at treating girls. His speech is obviously a bit exaggerated, but in front of a girl with little social experience, it is a social temperament of "knowing astronomy and geography".
Chen Yuyue and the others are also very interested in the topics they talk about.
"Do you believe there are werewolfs in this world?" As soon as the topic of beard was opened, Chen Yuyue and Du Powu were immediately attracted, and Ye Xuefu also looked sideways with interest.
Chen Yuyue and Du Powu looked at each other, and they both understood what the other person was thinking.
As early as two years ago, they encountered a special creature in one of their missions. According to what they saw, the creature was the legendary "werewolf". Unfortunately, they did not catch the creature to confirm their suspicion. When the thing ran into all fours, they escaped too quickly, and it was almost impossible to catch up with it.
So when the beard talks about werewolf, Chen Yuyue and Du Powu couldn't help but wonder what this guy would say next.
"Have you watched too many movies? Haha, werewolf? And Wolverine." The girl smiled happily.
"Did you ever wonder why there are legends of werewolf, and there are no legends like tiger people or leopard people?" asked Beard.
The girl was stunned for a moment and shook her head to say she didn't know.
Bearded and proudly said, "So, do you believe it now?"
The girl opened her eyes wide in surprise: "It's true and false... I still don't believe it."
Chen Yuyue also glanced at Ye Xuefu: "Do you believe it?"
"Of course I don't believe it." Ye Xuefu denied it without thinking: "The legend of werewolf originated from Europe. From a biogeographic analysis, after the end of the recent Ice Age, the current human ancestor Homo sapiens entered the European continent, there were almost no large cats on the European continent, so they have not been harmed by tigers and leopards. Large European beasts are bears and wolves, and only wolves pose a threat to ancient European animal husbandry and personal safety, so they are afraid of wolves, and there are werewolfs in the legend."
Du Powu looked surprised: "There are no tigers in Europe? No way?"
"I ask you this way, do you guys like to watch "Song of Ice and Fire"? Although the story is purely fiction, the setting of Westeros is the historical background of the medieval European era. Look at the family emblems of the nine major families there, the Stark family is the Icefield Running Wolf, the Baratheon family is the black treasure deer, the Lannister family is the roaring lion, the Elin family is the Crescent Falcon, the Greyjoy family is the golden sea monster, the Tully family is the silver trout, and all fish are used, and there are no beasts like tigers. Why do you think it is?"
Du Powu suddenly realized that it was like that!
Chen Yuyue looked at Ye Xuefu in surprise. He didn't expect that girls would also like to watch the songs of ice and fire, and could also analyze the historical background of the story and connect the influence of biogeography on ancient Europeans.
"In today's eating habits, we can see that in the eyes of ancient Europeans, animal husbandry is far more important than agriculture. As a vicious beast that destroys the source of living in local people, it can be imagined how much hated the wolf is by Europeans." Ye Xuefu continued: "One of the psychological characteristics of human beings is to demonize their own enemies."
At this time, Ye Xuefu's words had already attracted the attention of the beard and the girl.
The bearded expression looks very disdainful.
"If we analyze biologically, wolves are social animals, and wolves adopt abandoned human babies. Wolves are raised by wolves, and their behavior and howling are like wolves, so these abandoned children will be considered werewolfs when they return to human society. To a certain extent, this provides a realistic basis for the imagination of 'wewolves'." Ye Xuefu's analysis is very accurate.
At this time, Beard couldn't help but: "Then I ask you, why the werewolf changes in the legend only happened on the full moon night?"
"I have read some books on this." Ye Xuefu responded freely: "As the brightest celestial body in the night sky, the moon is undoubtedly the most eye-catching at any time. The moon has a huge impact on the environment and organisms on the earth, such as tidal phenomena and the physiological cycle of girls, so the changes in the moon phase also affect animals."
Du Powu nodded frequently when he heard this, and he had gained knowledge again. No wonder the girl's menstrual cycle is called menstruation. It turns out that it has something to do with the moon!
"The bright moonlight on a full moon night will cause many animals to get out of the darkness and have a date." Ye Xuefu used a nice word, which is actually that the full moon will stimulate the desires of some animals, and animals will be excited when the moon is full.
Many animals are active when the moon is full. Not only wolves, but monkeys will also jump around when the moon is full.
Beard retorted speechlessly: "What I said is not the same as what you said."
Chen Yuyue also smiled and said to Ye Xuefu: "The top students in biology are different, but what they are talking about is not an academic problem."
Ye Xuefu felt a little embarrassed. She finally realized that what she said had affected the beard showing off her topic in front of the girl.
"You talk, you can continue." Chen Yuyue smiled and said to the beard: "I said it very well, and the things I said before are also very good."
Seeing that Ye Xuefu stopped talking, she turned around and continued to talk to the girl about the werewolf.
It is not as true werewolf as in novels and movies that require full moon to transform. If a real werewolf wants to transform, it only needs to stare at the moon for a few seconds. If they don’t want to transform, they don’t need to transform.
Beard also said that some powerful werewolfs do not even need to borrow the stimulation of moonlight, but they just want to transform, so they can transform.
Although these words sounded outrageous and had no scientific basis at all, Chen Yuyue and Du Powu did not show any contemptuous expressions.
After all, some things have happened in front of you, so it is difficult for you to disbelief.
Although many things need to be emphasized in many cases, seeing may not be true, but what you see with your own eyes is real after all, and it is difficult for people to take the initiative to doubt it.
Ye Xuefu no longer listened to the bearded nonsense, but Chen Yuyue and Du Powu were different.
Some of the things that were woven in a scattered manner were so similar to some of the things they had seen with their own eyes.
After talking nonsense, the girl was so surprised that she couldn't stop talking: "You are writing online novels, are you?"
"Online novel?" Beard was stunned for a moment: "Of course not. Do you think those who write online novels can bring such a watch?"
As he said that, he showed off the Rolex Water Ghost on his wrist.
This quality is pretty good at first glance, at least it is the high-quality super A-grade product sold on WeChat.
The girl took a look and didn't believe that those who could wear real watches need to do high-speed trains. If she was so rich, she must have driven a luxury car to pick up girls. How could she pick up girls on the train?
But this beard is not a loser with a cleaner pocket than a face, and he has some capital.
Even if he wears A-go products, he is worth tens of thousands of yuan. After all, they are all luxury imitations? It must be much more expensive than any Adidas or Nike imitations.
"After that being said, it's really a waste of talent if you don't write online novels." Chen Yuyue couldn't help but say: "With your imagination, writing online novels will definitely become a master of greatness."
Beard glanced at Chen Yuyue: "Do you think what I said is made up?"
"Isn't it?" Du Powu said frankly and couldn't help but ask.
The beard snorted, ignored them and continued to launch an "offensive" against the girls around him. This reaction really made Chen Yuyue and Du Powu feel a little confused.
"You two are young or not, do you need to ask if you are a child? Of course he is making up for it." Ye Xuefu whispered: "No wonder they say that men are children who cannot grow up. Do you two really believe in him?"
Du Powu wanted to believe this, but was stopped by Chen Yuyue.
"I just think he's saying it's so good." Chen Yuyue changed the subject: "Just treat it as listening to novel stories."
"I tell you that even if there are werewolfs, they are definitely not the kind of werewolf he mentioned." Ye Xuefu said seriously: "There is only one possibility, which is to transfer the powerful genes of the wolf to humans, so that humans can possess the characteristics of wolves."
When Ye Xuefu said this, the bearded body across the aisle became obviously stiff.
"But genetics is not so advanced yet. This kind of experiment is quite dangerous and banned." Ye Xuefu continued: "If the experiment fails, it will be life-threatening."
Du Powu glanced at Chen Yuyue and couldn't help but say bluntly in his heart: "What's the use of prohibiting it? As long as there is a theoretical possibility, there will be a madman to do it."
Ye Xuefu expressed horrific comments on this: "If that were, there would be no human rights or humanity."
"Not all experts and scholars in the field of biological genetics are good people." Du Powu snorted: "There are always people with bad intentions, and it's not a small number."
"Cough cough." Chen Yuyue coughed lightly and signaled Du Powu not to say so many useless words. Du Powu was obedient and shut up obediently.
Ye Xuefu was depressed by this: "Yes, there are always people in the world with bad intentions, but there is nothing we can do about it..."
She knew that some genius biologists had gone on a wrong path, and if those people were all focused on the right path, they would definitely achieve great success.
But as long as a person takes a wrong step, it will be difficult to get back. Once the detour begins, it will be a path of no return.
There are too many things worth exploring in biological genetics, but all things worth exploring are taboos.
This subject is far from as easy to learn as imagined.
Many times Ye Xuefu himself also asks himself, if there are some opportunities and some amazing research results can be obtained through banned experiments, will he be unable to bear it? Will he also have an impulse?
The answer is yes.
She will also be attracted by some unknown achievements, she will also have impulses and ideas, and if she cannot control herself, she will also fall into it.
