I kidnapped an alien civilization

The end of a semester is the busiest time for students. Students with good academic performance usually study all night long in order to gain higher grade points. Students with poor academic performance usually "sharpen their guns" before the exam in order not to fail their subjects.

Therefore, the noise caused by the "return of the Great God" quickly subsided, and Fatty and the others started the sprint before the exam, leaving early and returning late. Li Mo also started a "regular" life because he had no exam tasks. Every morning, he would come to the basketball court. "Practice shooting" with the biology students I met last time.

After seeing Lan Xichen struggle to pick up the ball with his inconvenient leg countless times. Li Mo finally couldn't help but said: "How about, I'll help you pick up the ball next time."

Lan Xichen was slightly stunned, and patted the basketball in his hand, "You can still tell that my legs are still different from normal people, aren't they?"

As he spoke, he hugged the basketball, came to sit on the row of chairs on the sidelines, looked at the winter sun, and said with blurred eyes: "I thought you didn't see it, but it looks serious again."

Li Mo also sat down beside him, turned sideways, "Is your leg injured?"

Lan Xichen shook his head, patted his legs, "It's getting more and more obvious, time is running out."

"If you treat me as a friend, you might as well tell me what's wrong with your leg." Li Mo looked at his melancholy look and said with concern.

"Do you know about amyotrophic lateral sclerosis?" Lan Xichen still patted his legs with his hands.

Li Mo shook his head, but hearing the name, he knew it was not a simple disease.

"Have you ever heard of ALS?" the boy said with a bit of self-deprecation.

ALS, the name Li Mo had heard of in junior high school.

Stephen William Hawking is a famous physicist at the University of Cambridge in England and one of the greatest physicists of modern times. Because of ALS, he was paralyzed and unable to speak, and only three fingers could move.

Li Mo's idol Kobe once did the "Ice Bucket Challenge" for ALS, which is an activity of pouring ice water all over the body. Many famous people in the world, such as Bill Gates, Zuckerberg and Sandberg, also appeared in the photo for ALS. It is said that it is to experience the pain of ALS patients.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is also called motor neuron disease (MND), Charcot's disease in France, and Lou Gehrig's disease in the United States. In my country, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and motor neuron disease are usually used together. It is after the upper motor neuron and the lower motor neuron are damaged, resulting in gradual weakness and atrophy of the muscles including the bulbar part (the so-called bulbar part refers to the part of the muscle innervated by the medulla oblongata), limbs, trunk, chest and abdomen.

Symptoms are progressive muscle atrophy and weakness of the limbs first, and finally respiratory failure.

Patients with progressive frostbite finally watched their bodies as if frozen, gradually lost consciousness, and were finally taken away by death.

Common age of onset: 30-60 years old.

Treatment result: can not cure.

Cause of disease: unknown.

At this time, Li Mo discovered the benefits of a photographic memory. When Lan Xichen mentioned ALS, a book about ALS that he had read appeared in his mind. At the end of the book, the protagonist chooses a deserted valley, with death coming quietly.

"When did you get sick?" Li Mo asked cautiously. It is recorded in the book that the average lifespan of ALS patients is 6-10 years.

"After the last subject of the college entrance examination, I wanted to laugh out loud, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't." Lan Xichen seemed to be trying to control his facial muscles to make a smiling face, but in the eyes of others, he could only laugh His cheeks quivered.

"That's when I realized something was wrong with my body."

Maybe it's because they don't have close friends in college, maybe it's because Li Mo's age makes them cherish each other. Lan Xichen opened his heart on this winter morning.

"I'm a genius, do you believe it?" Lan Xichen's cheeks trembled again, and Li Mo knew he wanted to smile.

Li Mo nodded, because he "felt the same way".

"When I was 10 years old, my mother took me to a Mensa club abroad and had my IQ tested. The result was 180."

"At that time, I clearly remember the surprised expression of the foreign old man with white beard who took the test. 180 is enough to successfully become a member of Mensa, but was rejected by my mother."

"My mother is such a proud person. Everything about her has to be perfect, and even her son has to be different. So she brought me here just to tell everyone that she has a son with a high IQ. I It's just a tool for her to show off."

When he mentioned his mother, there was some expectation, but more disgust.

"But all of this was broken after I took the college entrance examination at the age of 15, and soon I was sent to the hospital by her assistants for examination. At that time, the doctor vaguely explained the possibility of the disease, and she told me on the phone Scold me."

At this time, Lan Xichen stopped and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you unwilling to hear this?"

Li Mo looked at his lonely look, "We are friends, aren't we?"

"Yes, we are friends." Lan Xichen nodded heavily, and continued.

"That night, I was taken on the plane by her assistants, and the destination was a private clinic in Germany. There, I had a whole week of examinations, MRI, EMG, nerve conduction velocity, and genetic testing."

"Maybe I did all the checks, and the doctor didn't tell me the final result. It's just that I received a call from her. During the call, she asked me what else I want to do now. "

"I said I wanted to go to university, so she bought a house in Yanda for me and arranged for a nanny to take care of me."

At this moment, Lan Xichen said in a low voice, "You know, that was the last call she made to me. If I need something everyday, just tell the nanny."

Li Mo is not good at comforting people. Looking at Lan Xichen's hesitant expression, he asked, "How old are you now? It's the end of the semester, don't you need to review?"

"I'm 17 years old now, a sophomore." Lan Xichen said confidently again: "I told you, I don't need to study and get perfect marks in every exam, don't you believe me?"

Li Mo smiled, "My name is Li Mo, I am also 17 years old this year, and graduated from the Department of Mathematics."

"17 years old, graduated from a bachelor's degree?" Lan Xichen was startled by the two inappropriate words.

"Did you start college at the age of 13?" He calculated in his mind and asked.

Li Mo shook his head, "I didn't start college until I was 17, so how about it, as a good friend, let me tell you about my experience."

Li Mo felt that maybe his own experience would inspire Lan Xichen, that is, no one can predict what will happen tomorrow.
