Dean Wang's voice was filled with strong shock. Wu Zhongyuan couldn't hear anything on the other end of the phone. He only heard Dean Wang say again, "One more pair or one? Which two? I won't say anything, you fax the inspection report to me immediately. By the way, take back the sample sent to the inspection."

After saying this, Dean Wang hung up the phone.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's face was puzzled, Dean Wang did not hide it, "Your blood test results are out."

"How is it?" Wu Zhongyuan asked nervously. Dean Wang is over 60 years old this year. The test result that shocked him is definitely not a good result.

Dean Wang picked up his cell phone and took off Wu Zhongyuan’s tattoo on his chest, turned around and walked out, "I'll get the inspection report immediately. If you sit for a while, I'll be back soon."

After Dean Wang left, Wu Zhongyuan looked at Director Li and Nurse Zhang. Although they tried to calm down, they could still see that they were very nervous.

"Director Li." Wu Zhongyuan looked at Director Li.

When Director Li heard Wu Zhongyuan call her, he felt panic in his eyes.

"Director Wang said 24 pairs, are they chromosomes?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

Director Li did not answer, but also answered, because her surprised expression showed that Wu Zhongyuan guessed correctly.

After confirming that he guessed correctly, Wu Zhongyuan calmed down, "It's not difficult to guess. Except for chromosomes, other examination items seem to be not described as 'right'. Besides, you are a county hospital, and you should be able to check everything except DNA."

After Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, Director Li said unnaturally, "Chromosomes and DNA are not the same concept, but you don't have to worry about it. Cases of chromosome abnormalities are not uncommon."

"You seem to be more nervous than me," Wu Zhongyuanqiang motivated and squeezed out a little smile. "If it was a common abnormality, Dean Wang would not be so surprised."

Director Li did not answer the conversation.

"I'm not a child anymore." Wu Zhongyuan added another sentence, this sentence was a pun, the implication was that you don't want to fool me.

Dean Wang left longer than Wu Zhongyuan expected. After waiting for more than twenty minutes, Dean Wang came back, holding a few pages of fax paper in his hand.

As soon as Dean Wang entered the door, the three of them looked at him nervously, to be precise, at the inspection report in his hand.

Dean Wang did not show the inspection report to Director Li and Head Nurse Zhang, but said to them, "You avoid it, I want to talk to him alone."

Dean Wang's words were very direct. Director Li and Nurse Zhang had to leave. In fact, they didn't want to leave, at least they didn't want to leave until they saw the inspection report.

When they left, Dean Wang walked to the door and was about to close the door. After thinking about it, he turned back to Wu Zhongyuan and said, "It's quite cool outside, let's go out for a walk."

"Okay." Wu Zhongyuan nodded in agreement. The environment in the ward made him feel very depressed.

President Wang took off his white coat and went downstairs with Wu Zhongyuan. The driver was still waiting downstairs. President Wang waved his hand and told him to leave.

It was not dark at this time, but the peak period for get off work was over. There were not many people on the street. There were several vendors selling cold-drinking fruits at the entrance of the hospital that had not yet closed the stall. When they saw Dean Wang, they stood up and greeted him.

Dean Wang nodded politely at them, "Zhongyuan, you must be a little mentally prepared."

"You want to lock me up?" In order to dilute the tension in his heart, Wu Zhongyuan was half-joking.

"That won't be," Dean Wang shook his head, "but the test results of your blood sample are very strange. I have never seen anything like this."

"My chromosome abnormality?" Wu Zhongyuan asked. He was just a senior high school student. He knew that there was a chromosome, but he was limited to knowing.

"Yes," Dean Wang nodded. There was a library next to the hospital. The library was closed. Dean Wang walked up the steps and sat down from the high steps. When Wu Zhongyuan sat down, he handed him the inspection report in his hand.

Wu Zhongyuan took the inspection report. Since it was a fax file, several reports were connected together, and the numbers and texts on it were not particularly clear.

Wu Zhongyuan did not look through it in detail, and after a few glances, he returned the inspection report to Dean Wang, "Tell me what you want."

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan trusted him so much, Dean Wang was very pleased. His sincerity was exchanged for Wu Zhongyuan's trust.

"This is more complicated, so I try to be simpler," Dean Wang coughed twice and cleared his throat. "Chromosomes are a substance in the nucleus. The main function is to carry genetic information. By detecting a person's chromosome, it can make relatively accurate judgments on the person's race, blood type, blood relationship and other information. Normal chromosomes exist in pairs, and ordinary people have 23 pairs of chromosomes, 22 pairs are shared by men and women, and the remaining pair determines the gender."

Wu Zhongyuan did not interrupt.

Dean Wang also said, "The common chromosomal abnormalities are usually one more than 23 pairs, that is, 47. There are many reasons for inducing them. Parents suffer from diseases, drug abuse, and older childbirth may lead to chromosomal abnormalities. Chromosomal abnormalities are usually accompanied by intellectual disabilities and developmental disorders..."

When President Wang said this, he stopped talking. Someone came from the sidewalk below. He was a vendor selling cold drinks. He sent two bottles of mineral water attentively, "Director Wang, drink some water."

President Wang stood up and refused, the vendor put down the mineral water and ran away.

After the vendor left, Dean Wang continued, "I just said that 47 chromosomes are the most common chromosome abnormalities, and 48 chromosomes are also present, but they no longer appear in pairs. The biggest difference between your situation and previous cases is not that there are two more chromosomes, but that the two chromosomes outside the 23 pairs of chromosomes appear in pairs."

"Why does it appear in pairs?" Wu Zhongyuan asked anxiously.

"I don't know, there are no similar cases in your situation for reference." Director Wang shook his head slowly.

"You just said that by detecting chromosomes, you can determine what ethnic group a person is." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Race and ethnicity are not the same concept," said Dean Wang, correcting it, "By detecting your normal 23 pairs of chromosomes, you have been confirmed to be a Han person in a narrow sense."

"What is a narrow Han Chinese?" Wu Zhongyuan didn't quite understand.

"It is the Han people who have not intermarried with ethnic minorities in the past dynasties. The number of these people is not large, but not small." President Wang explained patiently.

After listening to Dean Wang’s explanation, Wu Zhongyuan felt a little lighter, “Then what happened to the extra pair of chromosomes I have?”

President Wang unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Wu Zhongyuan, "You have lost too much blood. We considered to transfusion for you at the beginning. The blood transfusion procedures in regular hospitals are very strict. Before transfusion, detailed blood tests are required. The blood samples we tested were collected from your wounds. The test indicators and normal indicators are very different. Due to the limitations of the testing equipment, we cannot conduct further analysis. We can only send people to the provincial capital for testing, in order to find out the accurate cause of your blood abnormality."

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan wanted to interrupt, Director Wang raised his hand, "Our hospital's testing equipment is not the top-notch, and it is impossible to distinguish whether the abnormal components in your blood are inherent or trauma. Let me give you an example. If a patient bitten by a mad dog, the blood from the wound may be mixed with the dog's genetic components. At this time, more precise testing equipment is needed to distinguish them."

"My head was injured by an iron pipe." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Dean Wang nodded, "These are no longer important. Now the test results have come out. Your chromosomal abnormality comes from innate inheritance, and it is not a disease."

"What does it mean?" Wu Zhongyuan was puzzled.

"You are very healthy and normal, but this kind of health and normality are only relative." said Dean Wang.

"What is relative?" Wu Zhongyuan was confused.

Dean Wang did not answer immediately.

Wu Zhongyuan stared at Dean Wang and waited for him to answer.

After hesitating for a long time, Dean Wang finally said, "The so-called relative means that although you develop normally, due to the particularity of your genes, if the XY chromosome in your body is combined with the XX chromosome of a woman, the offspring may have unpredictable mutations."

Wu Zhongyuan was stunned, "What do you mean is that if I get married, will the child I give birth to be a monster?"

"No, no," Dean Wang waved his hands repeatedly, "mutation is not necessarily bad, it may also be a development in a good direction. You must know that we humans have also experienced many mutations in the long process of evolution."

Wu Zhongyuan was a little confused when he accepted so many unacceptable things at once, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Dean Wang patted his shoulder again, "Be strong."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded and took a sip of water.

"We have also tested the extra pair of chromosomes you have." Dean Wang said actively.

"What's the result?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"The two extra chromosomes you have inherited from your father and mother respectively. These two chromosomes belong to two different unknown organisms, and are not completely consistent with the genetic maps of known species recorded in the province. In addition, genetic breeding between species is not genetically understandable." Dean Wang's face was also full of suspicion.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded in confusion. After a day of struggle, he was already exhausted. "Director Wang, can you say it simpler? I'm a little confused."

"I want to answer your questions, but I can't figure it out myself. So far today, I'll ask the driver to take you back." Dean Wang took out his cell phone and called the driver.

"Director Wang, I still have a question." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Dean Wang tilted his head to look at him.

"Why are you so nice to me? You can never tell me about these things." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"I can't tell you, but I hope to gain your trust and cooperation," said Dean Wang very frankly. "Your situation is extremely rare, and it has extremely high research value for medicine and genetics."

Although President Wang said sincerely, Wu Zhongyuan still felt a little confused. After all, it is not a pleasant thing to be studied.

Soon, the driver drove over, Dean Wang stood up and accompanied Wu Zhongyuan down the steps, "How are your academic performance? The college entrance examination is about to be held, are you sure?"

"It's okay." Wu Zhongyuan answered casually.

"Have you thought about the major you applied for?" Dean Wang asked again.

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head. He wanted to apply for military academies and police academies the most, so he didn't have to pay tuition fees. After graduation, he would be an officer and a police officer. Unfortunately, he could only think about it, because neither of these two types of schools would admit candidates with tattoos.

"When you go back, pay attention to rest and study with peace of mind. If there is new progress in the comparison of gene maps, I will try to notify you." Dean Wang said.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, and after nodding, he suddenly remembered something, "You just said that the two extra chromosomes I had are not exactly in line with the known species?"

"Yes." Dean Wang said.

"Is there anything similar?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"You lack understanding of genes," said Dean Wang, shaking his head. "The genes of many species are very similar. Our genes are very similar to those of gorillas. Sometimes, just a little bit of genetic difference may lead to huge differences in individuals and morphology."

"Oh." Wu Zhongyuan nodded blankly.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan very frustrated, Dean Wang said again, "There is indeed no specific result in the comparison. It is difficult to determine the exact origin of these two chromosomes now, and we can only judge the type of it."

"What kind of?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
