Alice was taken aback by the turn of events.
Fortunately, its later movements were noticeably slower, and the force of the impact smaller and smaller. He sat down slowly, maintaining his stoop to gather strength. But his head was raised and locked firmly in my sight.
I looked at the pair of golden eyes, from bright slowly become dark, little by little. As if he were questioning me. Why did I cheat it?
I felt my eye sockets turn sour, "Does it have to be this rough?" I couldn't hold back any longer and grabbed Alice's arm.
"Sweetie, you have to remember that no matter how similar it looks to humans, it's still a beast. When you were in the wild, would you approach the lion with a needle without any preparation?" She tapped me on the shoulder.
I certainly understand these principles, and can not be unprepared to approach the beast, this is the basic principle of biologists to study the beast.
‘Bam!’ The glass door shook violently w
The research had finally begun after I had let go of the last of my worries.Alice also seemed to notice a change in my thinking. She no longer limited my time with it and even provided me with a lot of equipment."Perfect, just perfect." From the blood drawn, the genes of the different species fit together perfectly, and gene expression happens to pick out the best bits.“How do your guys do it? You make it just happen to be the best part, and you end up looking so much like a human...” I was incoherent with excitement.“Yes, Yes, my girl,” said Alice, holding my shoulder, “You're so excited,” she said, pushing me toward the screen.He lies on the bank, slapping the water with his paws."We use a lot of animal genes, fish, birds, apes...""There won't be any more humans?" I turned my head."No, no, no!" She said, turning my head to face the screen. "It was just an egg."It was true, a
No reproductive organs. How is that possible? I turned off the instrument and carried him out of it.Alice, they like to call his legs “hindlimbs”, and in their hearts, they think of him as a mentally retarded beast."You're not, are you?" I held his legs. "Spread your legs."I reached up and gently stroked his lower calf. He squinted and hummed twice, spreading his legs along with my strength.Only three toes. The foot is also three times the size of a human being, and the central bone of the foot is very soft and can be bent at will.This would be a part of a partial reptile. When he climbs a tree, the balls of his feet bend and the nails in his toes hook onto the trunk.The muscles under the scales beat strongly and strongly. The crus bones bend back, similar to the kangaroo."Well... let me see here." I was so drawn to its other features that I almost forgot my ultimate goal. I felt between his two legs, where his geni
“Cognitive awareness. Do you know what that means? He has the potential to increase his intelligence. He just needs a teacher for now. I. . .”"What do you want?" Alice looked at me calmly with her dark blue eyes."I mean... the results of the study show that Mason grew rapidly during these three months, and the current study shows that his intelligence only reached the age of eight, but that does not mean that his intelligence is not likely to continue to develop.""Mason? is that what you call it?""Well... I've thought of other names, but he is not interested at all, so...""Very good. I am very pleased that your two are very close.""Ms. ALICE!" I was furious at her for not caring about my research. "I'm talking to you about my research, not the intimacy!" I'm sorry. Please continue..." She shrugs."I'd like to do some tests on his cognitive abilities," I said, a little nervously. From the time I got into gradu
The insignificance of the tone made me jumpy.He stared at me with the concentration of a predator on his prey."You're really getting along with it," a timely sound from the intercom broke the eerie atmosphere."Claire!" I turned my head away from his rather strange eyes."Give it a name, teach it words... are you sure you're not raising a child?"I opened my mouth and suddenly didn't know what to answer."AH." With a cry, he came to me and crouched down.I subconsciously put my hand on his head and kneaded it for a while."I take it back. It’s should be teaching your pet." Claire's giggling came from the intercomI tried to suppress the nagging feeling of doubt, and said to myself, Cara, you're just thinking too much. Haven't you been wrong so many times before?He raised his head, his eyes soft. That kind of full-on eyes, as if to tell me this world I do not see anyone else in the world except you.Yes, that's just your delusion. You are not his prey, you are his teacher."What can
I do not doubt that as soon as the intercom leaves my hand, he will tear it to pieces right away.“Hey boy, calm down.” I stroked his head with one hand and hid the intercom behind me.He didn’t budge, his eyes locked on it, and his throat growled louder and louder. “It’s just a little intercom.” The words comfort didn’t work, so I changed my approach and put the intercom in front of him.“Look!” I pinched the intercom and pressed it against his paw, rubbing it gently, getting his scent on it. From his previous reaction, he had a strong sense of territory, and getting his scent on it might make him feel like it belonged to him.He slapped the intercom out of my hand with one paw, and if I hadn’t hugged his body in time, he would have rushed up and torn the intercom to shreds.“Hey, what’s wrong with you!” I pinched his shoulders and lifted him to my eyes, straightening hi
“Mason?” The lake was very quiet in the morning, just like the day I came. The wooden boat was motionless on the shore. In this closed environment, there was no wind. “Mason?” I raised my volume and shouted. Silence, as if there was no living thing at all. I really don’t know what Alice meant by “it grew up.” Was it physically or mentally? From what I saw yesterday, his astonishing intelligence development speed, the latter possibility was greater. “Mason, are you in the lake?” I tiptoed to the side of the boat, imitating Alice, put my hand on the edge of the boat, and the ripples spread layer by layer on the lake along the bottom of the boat. I swallowed a mouthful of saliva. I don’t know why I was so nervous. The joy of witnessing the evolution of a new species and the fear of unknown dangers lingered in my heart, intertwined and entangled. I swung the paddle and slowly drove the boat to the center of the lake. “Mason, Cara came to p
I once again felt the hardship of being a parent, at least in terms of educating this child. I twisted his ear that was close to my neck hard, just like my mother did to my father, pinching the tip of the ear.Maison’s ears had no scales, full of capillaries, and pointed like the ears of a fairy in a fairy tale. Of course, having pointed ears also meant that the top of his ears had a smaller area of force than human ears, and a greater pressure. Sure enough, he gasped and groaned.The strands of hair that were wrapped around my wrist exploded in an instant. I glanced at them and saw a fluffy ball clinging to my wrist, trembling slightly, like a dandelion tormented by a gale. He pressed his face against my neck and rubbed it several times, unwilling to part. He grunted and moved out from under me. Before leaving, he didn’t forget to touch my face.I was overwhelmed with mixed feelings. The little cutie who was rolling on the ground begging for petting yesterday had turned into an old r
Mason’s hunger was fading fast.By yesterday’s measure, he should have craved thrice the food he had before. But he scarcely nibbled at the bowl that came his way, eating less than evermore.Was it the time of change?In nature’s course, the insects’ fate was to transform in shape and state, such as the worms that gorge and spin to weave their cocoons from within.“What ails you, my Mason?” I raised the DV and set it to record, pointing it at Mason and placing it on a stand. “Come hither, let me see your form.”It took me many days of tests to recollect my final quest.I had reclaimed the DV from Alice two days ago, but only now I thought of it, losing the chance to tape his growth in spurt. I felt a pang of woe.For Mason loathed the Lab 103, he shunned it since the last MRI. If it were as before when he was small, I could have hugged him and withal have brought him to the lab nearby.But now, after I soothed his ire that flared last night for no known cause, I went back and removed
I dreamed it again.The whole world is black, only the body up and down the feeling tells me that I am now in the 'escape' .To be precise, it is to be carried 'on the run' .It was a terrible escape.The sticky liquid soon soaked half of my body, although it eased the pain from the friction of his scales and me, but no one would want to be held so uncomfortably and bumped.Plus the very uncomfortable hug posture.I was shaken so dizzy. Babies don’t hide their emotions at all, and I expressed my feelings very straightforwardly at that time. With a cry, the corridor that was only echoing with the sound of footsteps on the ground was followed by a high-pitched baby cry.“Ooh!” The monster holding me cried out, and the cold claws came up like this, patting my back up and down.That way of comforting was really bad. The claws were cold, how could a small baby bear it?Unexpectedly, the crying stopped. I could clearly feel that feeling, just like being patted on the back by my mother, in t
“Cara~” He called out to me again and came over slowly. This position is so shameful that the lower half of my body is completely exposed, legs spread out in front of him. "Don't come any closer!" I struggled for a moment, then was pulled back by the restraints on my wrists. My legs were wide open, and his gaze felt like sharp needles piercing my body, giving me the feeling of being a naked mouse waiting for mating, making me extremely uncomfortable. "Don't! Don't look at me!" I closed my eyes, avoiding his gaze, tears streaming out uncontrollably. “Cara···” I was disgusted by the sudden smell of blood in my nose. Blech! “Cara!” I had just opened my eyes when a deep green claw covered in blood appeared in front of me. Then Mason quickly withdrew his claw, wiping it on his body twice, and finally sniffing it under his nose. Then he blinked, half-clasping his claw, and gently wiped the tears from my face with his curved knuckles. I suddenly remembered some of the romance movie
“Heart rate dropping… Hurry!!!” The beeping of the machine was incessant in my ears, followed by a crackle and a surge of electricity that jolted my whole body. I bounced up and down uncontrollably on the bed. “Heart rate rising… Good… Very good…” My body felt like a battery that had been recharged after the shock. I regained some vitality. I opened my eyes. I could sense many people crowding around me, their voices reaching me in fragments, but muffled by an invisible barrier. There was a glass panel in front of me. No, I was trapped in a transparent glass chamber. What are you doing? I opened my mouth. “Yiya… Yiya…”No, that wasn’t my voice. “Oh, my Kara…”The glass lid was lifted, revealing two familiar faces. Dad, Mom… I felt a lump in my throat when I saw them. I remembered this scene. Dad had told me that when I was born, I had a brief cardiac arrest. Luckily, they managed to snatch me back from the jaws of death. My father was a tough-minded biologist, but he couldn’
I jolted awake and sat up on the bed. The room was pitch-black, except for the faint blue glow of the screen on the wall near the door. I touched my pajamas, which were intact and snug on my body. The air was clean and odorless. Everything that had happened seemed like a dream. I got up from the bed, feeling no discomfort in my body. Instead, I felt refreshed and relaxed, as if I had a good rest. I was also dry and spotless. Maybe it was just a dream. ‘I am an asshole…’ I covered my face with my hands. How could I have such a dream? Did I secretly wish for something like that to happen? “Cara, are you awake?” The pager in the coat hanging on the rack rang. I walked to the rack and took out the caller. “I just woke up. What’s going on?” Claire’s voice came with a smile. “We did it. We created a new, less toxic individual. Wiles is saved… I mean, I want to invite you to see the new synthetic creature. Your father is on his way back…” “Mason… what will happen to him?” I clenche
“Cara~” He called out to me again and came over slowly.This position is so shameful that the lower half of my body is completely exposed, legs spread out in front of him."Don't come any closer!" I struggled for a moment, then was pulled back by the restraints on my wrists. My legs were wide open, and his gaze felt like sharp needles piercing my body, giving me the feeling of being a naked mouse waiting for mating, making me extremely uncomfortable."Don't! Don't look at me!" I closed my eyes, avoiding his gaze, tears streaming out uncontrollably.“Cara···”I was disgusted by the sudden smell of blood in my nose.Blech!“Cara!”I had just opened my eyes when a deep green claw covered in blood appeared in front of me.Then Mason quickly withdrew his claw, wiping it on his body twice, and finally sniffing it under his nose.Then he blinked, half-clasping his claw, and gently wiped the tears from my face with his curved knuckles.I suddenly remembered some of the romance movies I had pl
The blanket was nowhere to be found. I must have kicked it away in my restless sleep. Darkness enveloped me like a shroud. I felt the dampness of my pajamas, drenched in sweat. I was awake now, and my throat was parched and raw. I staggered out of bed. My head was throbbing and I nearly collapsed to the floor. “Am I have a fever?” I wondered. I touched my forehead, which felt slightly warmer than my palm. Actually, my whole body was burning up. Sweat had wetted my bangs and they stuck to my forehead. It was only after I gulped down a glass of ice water that I felt a bit less hot. Did I leave the door open? The door of my room was somehow open, and the emergency light outside the corridor was not on either. Looking out from inside, it was creepy and ominous. I hesitated for a moment, then walked to the door. The blue screen on the wall that controlled the door switch was also dark. Was there a power outag
“That’s just your normal physiological response…” Claire smiled awkwardly, looking a bit embarrassed. She tossed the thing in her hand into the garbage bin. I took a deep breath, shaking my still woozy head. I couldn’t hold it any longer and plopped down on the floor, soaking the ground with a large puddle." "Physiological response?" I laughed mockingly and hid my face in my knees. “Can you still stand up?” Claire asked, supporting my arm and half-pulling me off the ground. I had been holding back some of my body’s reactions when I was hurrying to bring the centrifuge tube to Alice. Now that my nerves relaxed… “I feel as soft as cotton, soaked cotton.” I moved my fingers, following the tug of my nerves. They barely lifted a bit, then fell down, lying limp on one side. “It feels like I’ve been anesthetized…” And it was the kind of ‘anesthesia’ that sent electric shocks through my body, leaving only a tingling pleasure. "Are you okay? You're very not yourself now!" Claire hugged
Alice’s malice was fully revealed, and what she wanted was far from simple.But Alice was also unusually agreeable when her demands were met, and she would satisfy me as long as I didn’t ask for too much.“It’s like a final kindness before the death sentence, right? She has been separating us deliberately or unintentionally ever since you began to tell me some secrets.” I said. I lifted my arms and let Claire help me put on my jacket.“Is there anything else you want to say to me?”Claire’s fingers stiffened as they moved around my collar. She lowered her head and chose silence.I was annoyed by her mute silence. “Alice only gave me a tube of anesthetic. You know, Mason wouldn’t faint even in an environment full of anesthetic gas. What effect could a small tube of anesthetic have?”Claire paused for a moment, then resumed her numb expression as she pressed my waist and pulled down my shorts.“Claire, I won’t run away. I have no other choice.”That sentence was like a spell, a spell th
I was petrified by the scene before me, which was like something out of a horror movie. The intercom slipped from my hand and fell into the water.He seemed oblivious to it all, sighing contentedly as he turned and swam towards me. Then I felt a cold object press against my palm and rub up and down.My face turned red with embarrassment.I kicked him away from me, scrambled out of the water, and ran out of the artificial habitat.He didn’t try to stop me, and I made it to the lab without any trouble. I slammed the door behind me, and it made a dull thud.“Are you okay?” Claire looked at me.“Didn’t you see?” I took a few deep breaths to calm myself down. The image was still vivid in my mind.“It came out… his secondary sexual organ.” I moved my lips, trying to recall the words I had learned, wracking my brain to describe that thing. But I gave up.“What?!” “That’s wonderful!” Claire and Alice had two completely different reactions.Claire was pale as a ghost, disbelief was written all
