Chapter 244 The Ship of Theseus

"It's the Royal Palace Guards. All the communication signals are blocked while you are surrounded, and you cannot report to you. Because once you resist, it will probably cause serious and irreparable consequences to the relationship between you and the emperor. In addition, Mr. Rodin The news here is that the situation is under control for the time being..." Hua Jianqin stammered, her originally smooth and crisp voice trembling slightly.

Ke Xia's voice was still calm: "So you sent him in naked and unarmed?"

Luo Dan reassured: "There is also Estin. After our evaluation at the time, we thought that this could minimize the other party's wariness, and it would be convenient to hide cats in the nutrition cabin. What Jun meant was that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Let's see what Desiree is doing. do what."

Ke Xia's eyes seemed to be burning with blue flames: "His mentality is similar to that of a child, he doesn't understand anything, and he can't speak yet, so you let him take risks?"

Luo Dan was startled, and looked at him: "He recovered his memory the day before, don't you know?"

The expression on Ke Xia's face was broken, and Luo Dan was still explaining seriously: "Jun is a very assertive person, and no one can go against what he has decided. Besides, this is indeed the best way after rational analysis. We need to know What are they doing, they won't be on guard against a clone who doesn't understand anything, and Estin followed, although I'm also worried, but you should trust their abilities."

Ke Xia heard himself talking: "The day before yesterday, you were on the spaceship...and already recovered your memory?" He asked with difficulty, feeling a pain in his chest.

Luo Dan said: "Yes, he connected to Skynet and took the initiative to tell us to restore his memory, and the restoration has been successful."

Luo Dan saw the noble prince looking at him, the ice in his eyes was shattered, his whole body suddenly looked fragile, and he felt a little uneasy, he couldn't help explaining: "Jun...he has always been like this, too independent, Estin and I speculated that he should have lived in a very high-pressure environment for a long time, similar to a war environment or a latent environment. He needed to hide and suppress his emotions and thoughts for a long time, or his individual feelings were not fully respected and cared for. He doesn't have a full sense of security, so he's used to making decisions by himself, and after these things are over, you can actually give him some psychological counseling, because he can't speak now, and psychological factors have a greater impact."

"He subconsciously resists communicating with people, or avoiding."

"But this time is still a rare opportunity. He just wants to help you. Although he doesn't respect you enough--please forgive me..." Luo Dan felt as if he was getting darker and darker, because the beautiful man with blue eyes on the opposite side was still He smiled, although it seemed like he was crying: "It's not that he disrespects me, he just doesn't trust me."

Ke Xia spoke softly, his voice seemed to disappear into the air at any time: "He always thinks that I am the child who is on the bed and needs to be taken care of, and doesn't need to know anything."

There was dead silence in the study room, only Ke Xia's hands under the gorgeous prince's robe kept shaking. He took a deep breath and tried to regain his sanity: "Get ready to enter the palace, I want to see the emperor."

Ke Hua was already about to fall asleep, but when he heard him coming, she came out wearing a nightgown, her long hair falling down like a golden waterfall, and said with a smile, "I know you're back, but I heard you're busy interrogating Shiratori. The remnants of the meeting, plus the journey of travel and dust, I just thought about calling you into the palace tomorrow, why did this come?"

Ke Xia stared at him for a while, and then said calmly: "Your Majesty lent the palace guards to Dr. Desiree, and then assumed that he had my consent, and forcibly took my people away. I want to know what His Majesty means."

Ke Hua was startled, and quickly came back to his senses: "So it's because of this! I'm sorry, I didn't know that Dr. Desiree was so fast! He told me yesterday that he heard that you were coming back, and he wanted to borrow a copy of the copy beside you." It’s very important for him to study it. I don’t think it’s a big deal. You should agree. I’ll just talk to you when you come back, and I’ll agree. I didn’t expect Dr. Desiree to be so Reckless! It's all my fault!"

Ke Xia stared into his eyes coldly, and said word by word: "Your Majesty, if it wasn't for your sake, then Dr. Xi Rui has been thrown into the Broken Gold Lake by me now, I don't care who he is How respectable a student of the father of Skynet, now I need an explanation."

His icy blue eyes were chilling, and there was no doubt about the evil spirit that once belonged to the battlefield. If the person in front of him couldn't come up with a decent explanation, even the emperor of the empire would not pay attention to him.

Ke Hua's face froze, she hurriedly stepped forward to hold Ke Xia's hand, and said in a low voice, "I have a problem, you come with me."

He took Ke Xia all the way forward, his palms even a little wet, through the small living room of the dormitory, and through a long corridor, Ke Hua led him up a high tower, in the highest room of the tower, hanging There are portraits of the Ke family emperors of the past dynasties.

Ke Hua walked up to the image of the founding emperor of the empire, and there stood a handsome emperor with the same blond hair and blue eyes. Ke Hua whispered, "Ke Li, the founding emperor of the empire, was originally a senior general of the Human Expedition Alliance Army. He had a brotherly friendship with a general named Li Yun in the same robe. The two founded the empire together. Li Yun was named the side-by-side king. Later, you also know that it was also written in the history books of the empire that Li Yun was killed for rebellion. .”

Ke Xia's eyes didn't move: "Well, it's written in the history books. Later when I went to the alliance, it was written in the alliance history books that Ke Li violated his oath before the founding of the country, refused to entrust the territory to people with foreign surnames, and tabooed Li Yun's military power, so he seduced and killed the innocent Li Yun on charges."

Ke Hua said: "Before Li Yun was killed and died, he hated the royal family extremely. He cursed Ke Li for being insane for power, and cursed the Ke family who ascended the throne from now on. They will never get peace of mind until they are destroyed."

Ke Xia smiled: "That's not wrong. Every generation of Emperor Ke who ascended to the throne of God killed an unknown number of people. Naturally, it is difficult to calm down in his heart."

Ke Hua turned her head and said: "Later, Ke Liying died young and died of a mental breakdown and went crazy. Before he died, he kept saying that he saw Li Yun. After that, several emperors ascended the empire, and they all had mental problems in their later years. "

Ke Xia nodded: "Then? You won't believe this is a curse, right? Ke married close relatives with high spiritual power, genetic diseases are easy to inherit, and people with high spiritual power are too sensitive, and psychological problems are prone to occur , A behemoth like the Empire, standing in this position, is also under a lot of pressure, and it's perfectly normal to have mental problems."

Ke Hua smiled wryly: "I had the same idea as you at first, but I didn't realize it was wrong until I got into this position. I have always believed in religion, purified my heart, guarded my body, and never done anything that violated the conscience of heaven and earth. , but after I ascended the throne, I felt that my mental strength also began to have problems, inexplicably unable to sleep at night, nightmares all night, inexplicably mental weakness and irritability... I had to find Xi Rui, who was invited by the original father. Ask the doctor."

Ke Xia said, "What did Dr. Desiree say?"

Ke Hua said in a low voice: "The curse is actually a spiritual suggestion. That Mr. Li Yun is also a person with high spiritual power. His mech is called 'Nightmare Beast'. His curse is actually a very clever spiritual suggestion. The emperors have been passed down from generation to generation, and each generation will think of this curse when there is a problem with their mental power, and then strengthen this hint again, which is equivalent to each generation of emperors jointly strengthening this hint collectively, plus the original genes of the Ke family. The genetics of madness that are carried inside, so that this curse has become a hard-to-remove spiritual suggestion that cannot be lifted."

Ke Xia said coldly: "This is also correct but useless nonsense."

Ke Hua shook her head: "Xia, you don't know that when I started to have nightmares all night long, I was really scared too, but Dr. Xi Rui said that there is a research direction, which has been carried out since Father Huang's time. But it was not completely successful, your clone provided a very important direction, if it succeeds, we can get rid of this curse in the Keshi gene."

Ke Xia snorted coldly, and Ke Hua explained: "The cloned human body after genetic adjustment is healthier and more effective than the natural human body in real life, but it has no soul and cannot survive. Optimization, in turn, will affect mental power."

Ke Hua said in a low voice: "Dr. Xi Rui's research is to use the genes of the royal family to replicate a healthy and optimized human body, and then find a way to endow soul and spiritual power. When the father was alive, they only achieved a little research."

"There is an old philosophical question, a ship that changes its parts during a long voyage until at last every piece of wood in it has been replaced, is it still the same ship? If not , so may I ask when it was not?"

Ke Hua looked at Ke Xia, his blue eyes were full of pity: "Dr. Xi Rui and the others are trying to gradually replace the parts of the human body with souls with healthy replicas. When I heard about this research direction, I thought this distant philosophical question.”

Ke Xia felt a chill run up his spine: "Ke Ji?"

Ke Hua said in a low voice: "That's right, Father has gradually replaced his body parts in the last few years—but he still couldn't prevent the collapse of his mental power. When he made this decision, he should have gone crazy long ago."

"After the emperor's death, they were about to give up and return to the alliance, but they heard that one of the duplicants given to you by the king of Koshi County actually learned to speak, even had independent consciousness, and would run away from you, which means It is possible to clone a human body to possess spiritual power."

"So Xia, I agreed to their research, but I forgot to communicate with you in advance, please forgive me and understand."

Ke Xia turned his head and said coldly: "No, I don't understand."
