Strange Bear

The thick fog in the deep southwest mountains persists all year round, and thirty iron cages stand like tombstones in the cracks of the cliff. An eight-year-old boy moved here with his grandfather, a zoologist, and discovered that a black bear with strange eyes was imprisoned in the deepest part of the bear farm - it could knock out Morse code with the tips of its claws and defeat humans on the chessboard. Its amber pupils were filled with a clarity that should not belong to a beast. When the sound of scratching turns into a code of revenge in the middle of the night, when scarlet liquid leaks out of the sedative needle, the boy glimpses the remains of the experiment twenty years ago in the basement where his grandfather locked up: on the yellowed X-ray, the pubic bone of the black bear is twisting into a human form. On a rainy night, a black shadow walking upright tore open the iron cage, leaving behind bloody gauze and dog bones with tooth marks on the floor. Two years later, bizarre murders were reported in the mountains. The victims all died tragically in the same way as before when they tortured bears. The footprints of children on the snow pointed to the boy's dusty nightmare. This is a trial that spans species. When gene editing breaks the laws of nature, the black bear endowed with human wisdom will use the chess endgame and the bloody Big Dipper chart to reveal the bloody truth about the intertwining of science and ethics.
