Chapter 452 Truman Knows the Truth
"It's time you knew the truth, Jung Barin."
Daniel began to slowly explain to Zheng Ba Lin about his life experience, "You may be Han Xujun's son."
He looked at Zheng Barin and said, "It should be called Han Zhufu."
He talked a lot, telling a story about his research and Han Xujun, and he wanted to see Zheng Balin's reaction.
But to his surprise, Zheng Barin just lowered his head silently and listened to him say these things.
While they were talking, there was a knock on the door.
Quan Jae-joon walked over and opened the door, and outside was a mother and son.
Jung Barin knew them.
Han Xujun's wife Cheng Zhien, and their child, Cheng Yaohan, who bandaged himself at school.
He had long felt that Cheng Yaohan was not the same as the son of the murderer as rumored.
Because at school, he beat small animals because of his inner desires. He knew that what he did was wrong, and he felt uncomfortable being seen as a monster.
Zheng Barin, who is unable to understand ordinary people's emotions, has always lived in the cold eyes of his classmates.
After being scratched, only Cheng Yaohan had the courage to approach him, bandage him, and even persuade him not to kill animals.
The two also talked about dreams. That was the first time Zheng Barin knew what dreams meant.
Cheng Yaohan said he wanted to become a doctor, but Cheng Yaohan didn't dare because everyone knew that he was the son of the murderous doctor Han Xujun.
Zheng Balin said that he really wanted to be him, to be like a normal person, so he also wanted to be a doctor.
Cheng Zhien pulled Cheng Yaohan over with some trembling.
"Cheng Zhienxi," Li You said leisurely, "You should explain it to them."
Compared to the two children, Daniel was more anxious.
He straightened up and stared at Cheng Zhien, "What did you do back then?"
Cheng Zhien fell into silence for a long time.
After a while, she felt her left hand being shaken. She looked over and saw Cheng Yaohan shaking her hand. "Mom."
Although Cheng Yaohan didn't say anything more, Cheng Zhien also understood his eyes.
Cheng Yaohan has always been a very smart child and very sensible, and he does not have any characteristics of a murderer at all.
Cheng Zhien closed her eyes and began to tell the story.
After Han Junxu was arrested that year, she was invited by Daniel to undergo fetal genetic testing, but the test revealed the presence of a "devil gene".
She was in so much pain that she couldn't even put a coin in the coffee machine.
She held onto the coffee machine in pain, then slowly fell to her knees, tears streaming down her face.
At this time, another woman sitting on a chair in the hospital corridor came over, put her hand on his shoulder and comforted him.
The woman is a nurse at the hospital but is now on maternity leave and is also here for genetic testing.
The two sat in the chair and talked for a long time, and learned the truth of the matter from each other.
Her child also carried the "devil gene", and the two could not make up their minds to abort the child.
The woman was determined to give birth to the child and prove Dr. Daniel was wrong.
Having said that, Sung Ji-eun looked up at Daniel, then at Sung Yo-han.
Now it seems that the woman succeeded.
But at that time, they made an appointment with each other, exchanged their children, and secretly accompanied them. If they found any perverted or murderous desires, the other party would take over.
Cheng Zhien was a little choked up when she spoke.
Zheng Barin stood there in a daze, and suddenly he understood why his mother had strangled him that day.
"So that's how it is," Daniel sighed, "So Zheng Barin is your son."
"And Cheng Yaohan." Daniel felt helpless. How should he tell Cheng Yaohan that his biological parents had been killed a few days ago?
He thought about it and decided to change the subject.
"You don't know another thing," Daniel said, looking down at Li You, "With the help of President Li, we have found out some things."
"All of your child swaps are under the surveillance of others."
Cheng Zhien's eyes widened. She looked at Daniel, then turned to look at Li You, and finally lowered her head and squeezed out the words from her throat, "What do you mean?"
"There is an OZ organization that has been monitoring you," Jeon Jae-jun explained, "Under the president's instructions, we have thoroughly investigated this organization."
"All this time, you have been like little white mice in a laboratory, being observed."
"The purpose is to observe the two children from childhood to adulthood and prove that the carriers of the demon gene are naturally destructive, so as to promote the passage of the Gene Act."
Cheng Zhien's face was full of disbelief, "Who did this?"
"Member Choi Young-shin," Daniel sighed and spoke with difficulty, "and the necessary condition for the success of the experiment is to protect the experimental subject to survive and grow up, and have the ability to kill. So at that time someone protected you and asked you to give birth to the child."
"And a few days ago, when Kim Hee-won, that woman, wanted to strangle Jung Barin, the OZ organization sent people to stop her and killed the couple."
Sung Ji-eun also lives in Asan, and Sung Yo-han is in the same school as Jung Ba-rin, so of course she knows about the murder.
"It's more than that," Daniel shook his head. "The experimental subjects must show destructiveness. Although Zheng Barin showed it, they were too young to cause enough damage. So they began to induce those adults who carried the killer gene to start killing people."
"They..." Cheng Zhien was an ordinary woman after all, and she couldn't accept these things. "They just want to promote the Gene Act?"
"Then what should we do with those people killed by the murderer?" Cheng Yaohan asked calmly despite his young age.
Daniel looked at him with some surprise, and felt a little sad when he heard his question. "They will probably think that this is a necessary sacrifice on the road to success."
"They want to use the Gene Act to eliminate people who might commit crimes in the future and create a crime-free utopia."
"Oz," Zheng Balin scratched his arm, "Is it Oz from The Wizard of Oz?"
Daniel opened his mouth and nodded silently.
Zheng Barin stared at the ground with a blank look in his eyes.
He originally thought he was a monster, but it turned out that he was not even a monster, he was just a guinea pig.
Zheng Balin is an experimental subject.
Cheng Yaohan raised his head and looked at Li You, "Are we the same as Truman?"
"The Truman Show", which was released a few years ago, is also regarded as a classic movie.
The two of them have been under surveillance and observation, and the experimenters are even manipulating and seducing them, who have antisocial personality genes, in an attempt to lead them step by step toward becoming murderers.
Ultimately, it is just to make it easier for the political process to pass antisocial gene screening bills and antisocial gene fetal abortion laws during the general election.
It's even worse than Truman.
Cheng Zhien clenched her fists and her eyes turned red.
"He has restrained himself quite well," Li You looked at the people in front of him calmly, "Zheng Barin has always been strongly restraining his bloodthirsty instincts. At least he has never thought of harming anyone. He also diverts his attention to painting or venting his anger on small animals."
"If he really can't control himself, he won't be guilty of much if he turns to livestock to vent his anger."
He waved his hand, and Quan Zaijun stepped forward and pulled open Zheng Balin's sleeves, which were covered with bloody scratches.
"Professor," Li You lit a cigarette, "You may be wrong. This child has feelings. He is not angry because someone touched his things, as the professor said."
"If he really had no emotions, he would never hurt himself to protect the things around him."
Daniel remained silent, he was sure that something had gone wrong with his research.
“Is that right?”
Cheng Zhien was already unable to stand, and the two children supported her together before she fell.
"Shouldn't a child who was diagnosed with antisocial personality before birth be properly guided?"
Cheng Zhien's hands trembled. "Why was he secretly chosen as a test mouse, his bloodthirsty instincts stimulated, and then he was controlled step by step in the future to become the murderer the experimenters expected?"
"All this just to get sociopath abortion laws passed?"
Li You exhaled a puff of smoke and said softly, "This is the victim of politics."
He waved his hand and asked Jeon Jae-joon to pull Sung Ji-eun to sit on the other side.
Li You exhaled the smoke, holding it lightly between his fingers, and looked at Zheng Ba Lin and Cheng Yao Han who were still in front of him, "You two, what do you think we should do?"
Cheng Yaohan's eyes fixed, thinking in his mind.
Zheng Barin's answer was even more straightforward, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."
"Kill them."
"No, the bloodthirsty switch has been turned on. There is no way to stop it," Daniel said. "Then the OZ organization's goal will be achieved. After seeing blood with one's own hands, the antisocial personality gene will definitely be activated."
"Professor," Li You glanced at him, "be quiet."
Zheng Ba Lin raised his head and looked at Li You, "How cruel are they?"
"I was trying my best to suppress my nature, but they were secretly saying something to stimulate my monster nature."
"I was born with prejudice and lived in Truman's world. My parents were fake. My aunt and uncle-in-law were also fake. Everything around me was fake. But they just wanted me to kill someone."
"Well said," Li You grinned, "Then kill them."
