mini people

Shen Jiyun still didn't dare to accept this fact. He tried hard to find evidence to refute it, and suddenly thought of something, Lin Shen said: "No, didn't it mean that clones have no self-awareness? Since you said that both Shen Yuze and I used Lin Xiao's Genetically cloned, we should be the same as those ignorant miniatures, born without souls and no intelligence, but why do we have?"

Han Shouqi stared at him, her eyes behind the lenses looked deep and cold, making Shen Jiyun shudder, always feeling that the other party would say something terrible next.

His premonition was correct, Han Shouqi stared at him for half a minute, and said: "This is where the root knot lies..." The other party turned his head to look at the night sky outside the car, and whispered: "The undeveloped smart miniature , was a scam from beginning to end."

He raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, with a trace of cruelty or self-deprecation in his smile: "Clones are also human beings, how could they have no self-awareness, how could... have no soul."

Shen Jiyun's heart "thumped", and sank heavily, as if he had fallen into an endless abyss, causing him to be tightly wrapped in a dark mist, unable to see light, and like a fish out of water, unable to breathe...

Han Shouqi said: "Lin Xiao was the first to discover this. He had some suspicions that the uninitiated miniatures were a scam. It just so happened that your parents were infertile, so he experimented with his own genes and cloned two copies of them for them." He was a child. He was a child at the time, and although he was young and talented, he didn't care about human ethics. He didn't react until you were raised by the Shen couple until you were three or four years old, and your IQ gradually revealed, and he started to be afraid."

Shen Jiyun thought of his mini-human connected body, and an indescribable fear lingered in his heart: "Then what is the consciousness transmission? Is it also fake?"

Han Shouqi: "No, consciousness transfer can indeed allow a clone to quickly gain self-awareness, that is, it can occupy the body in advance before the main body has formed self-awareness."

Shen Jiyun: "..."

Han Shouqi continued: "After that, Lin Xiao didn't dare to go home, because he didn't know how to face you... He was afraid that you would grow more like him, so he didn't dare to mention you in front of outsiders, and even asked Shen The couple erased his existence in front of you."

Shen Jiyun's gaze was shaking uneasily, and he asked tightly: "In this case, how did you know that we are clones?"

Han Shouqi asked without answering, "Have you heard of the name Zou Rui?"

"I heard." What does this have to do with Zou Rui?

"He is my brother-in-law friend. We met Lin Xiao and Qi Jingsi 18 years ago. At that time," Han Shouqi paused for a moment, and said, "At that time, Zou Rui and Lin Xiao were lovers."

Shen Jiyun was stunned: "Zou Rui... a man? A lover?"

Han Shouqi took a glance at the small piece of cigarette left, took the last puff, pressed it out in the cigarette case, and said mechanically, "Well, Zou Rui fell in love with Lin Xiao at first sight."

Although Shen Jiyun also felt that this relationship was more intriguing, compared with the previous stimulation, this matter was nothing at all.

Han Shouqi didn't dwell on this topic any longer, and continued, "However, Lin Xiao suffered from ALS two years later. It's a terminal illness, and there is no possibility of cure..."

Shen Jiyun's face turned pale, and he quickly deduced the time in his mind based on the information he had already received—he and his younger brother were only five or six years old when Lin Xiao fell ill. Lin Xiaojiu took over the magpie's nest through consciousness transmission...

So, who is the occupied man...is he?Or Shen Yuze?

Shen Jiyun clenched his fists and said with a dry smile: "So, he told you this secret? Only then did he discover the benefits of cloning a backup body? Hehe..."

Han Shouqi raised her eyebrows: "Why do you think so badly about him?"

Shen Jiyun also didn't know, he was forced to roar in his heart by the fear in his heart - because he cloned us, he has no respect for life!

Shen Jiyun was terrified at this moment, the truth that he had been longing for for so many years. He was afraid of hearing the last answer, afraid of hearing Han Shouqi say that he was not himself at all.

"He only told Zou Rui about this, because at that time the Shen couple brought you to the capital to see him for the last time, and Zou Rui felt that you looked a bit like Lin Xiao, and liked you very much... Lin Xiao was afraid that he would see the clue , I confessed to him with a guilty conscience, and Zou Rui was also shocked when he learned about it.” Han Shouqi played with the lighter in his hand, and said in a low voice, “After Lin Xiao went, Zou Rui once told me the truth after drinking, and he told me that he I want to find one of you to revive Lin Xiao. After all, he likes Lin Xiao, but Lin Xiao is unwilling. He treats you as independent individuals and never intends to occupy you. He also forced Zou Rui to swear that he will not approach you or touch you in his lifetime. A hair."

When Zou Rui said this with a depressed face, Han Shouqi asked jokingly, "Is Lin Xiao jealous? Everyone has gone, and you want to be a widow for him. It seems that he is very domineering by nature... "

In the end, Zou Rui scolded "Get out" in a rough voice, which made him, a buddy, so angry that he defended his shortcomings.

Thinking of this past, Han Shouqi wanted to laugh, but also felt endlessly sad.

Looking at Shen Jiyun next to him, he was slumped on the passenger seat, sweating profusely.

Shen Jiyun breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this passage...

"Are you okay?" Han Shouqi found a bottle of mineral water from the back seat and threw it to him, and said, "How is it? Can we continue talking?"

Shen Jiyun opened the bottle cap with trembling hands, drank his saliva, and calmed down: "Continue, what happens after that? What did my parents do that shouldn't be done?"

Han Shouqi: "Let me tell you one thing first. Don't believe me. In fact, the original intention of MWCC was not to make some people smaller, but to create a new world. Because of the population explosion in 999 The disaster was so devastating that everyone thought it was the end of the world. At that time, MWCC played the banner of "Tomorrow's World", claiming that only by making everyone smaller can human civilization continue."

Shen Jiyun immediately said: "...This is impossible."

Han Shouqi: "Yes, but Lin Xiao and Qi Jingsi believed in this concept and conducted research at the beginning, including researchers at the National Academy of Sciences at the same time. However, with the continuous establishment of mini bases, the population of tens of thousands has been reduced. , the population growth is under control, and the use of global resources is also stabilized, so who would like to be made smaller for the remaining people?”

Shen Jiyun nodded: "This is also a scam."

Han Shouqi: "Yes, as long as you are in the game, you can only be deceived. From top to bottom, one lie is covered by another lie, including the unenlightened minifigures. Almost all MWCC researchers are unaware of it. Those who are now The high-ranking experts in the Human Transformation Center may not know that they have been successfully brainwashed into thinking that those ignorant miniature people are guinea pigs, and numbly using them as experimental subjects is tantamount to killing people... …Haha, what a terrible lie, isn't it? If they don't know it for the rest of their lives, it's fine, but what if they know?"

Shen Jiyun's belly was churning, and his chest was dull and dull.

Yes, as long as they still have a little bit of human heart, they will definitely be defeated by the guilt of killing after learning the truth.

At this moment, he was so thankful that he stuck to himself and didn't touch those experimental subjects, otherwise he probably wouldn't be able to face himself now.

Han Shouqi said: "The real insiders may be almost dead, including Lin Xiao."

Shen Jiyun frowned: "What do you mean, someone secretly planned Lin Xiao's illness?"

Han Shouqi: "Yes, we all had doubts like this, including Lin Xiao himself. Because he didn't publicize it everywhere after he knew about it, he only hinted it to his mentor once, but was dismissed. A few years before he got sick In January, his mentor was transferred to Country B to serve as a technical expert at the Human Transformation Center, but there was no news about it afterwards, do you think this is just a coincidence?"

Shen Jiyun didn't believe that there was such a coincidence in the world.

Han Shouqi smiled wryly: "Now do you understand why your parents died?"

Shen Jiyun said in a deep voice: "Because they also know the truth?"

"Inevitable," Han Shouqi said with a sigh, "but there are other reasons for your parents' death."

Shen Jiyun: "What else?"

Han Shouqi lit another cigarette before continuing, "Eight years ago, something happened at the third base..."

Shen Jiyun: "The Hexagram Rebellion?"

Han Shouqi was taken aback: "You know?"

Shen Jiyun: "That's what I checked on the internet just now."

Han Shouqi glanced at him with a complicated expression, remembering that Qi Jingsi said that Shen Jiyun knew more than they imagined, and now he felt a little emotional again.

"Regarding this matter, what is written in the file you found?" Han Shouqi asked casually after puffing out a cigarette.

Shen Jiyun: "It is said that the mini-persons of the third base rebelled, and Zou Rui disappeared in that accident. It was you and Qi Jingsi who reported that the base survived."

Han Shouqi snorted and asked, "Do you believe it?"

Shen Jiyun was silent for a moment, and said: "Before talking about these things with you, I might have doubts, but now, I don't believe it."

"It's a bit of a brain," Han Shouqi praised him, and said, "Zou Rui and I wanted to stop it. The minifigures of the third base don't have the capital to negotiate with humans. To launch a resistance is like hitting a stone with an egg. But we can't persuade them." Several administrators at the same time, they almost went crazy after knowing the truth... There are two brothers among them, they regard the base as their home, and they have deep feelings for those miniature people."

Shen Jiyun thought for a while and asked, "Who told them the truth?"

Han Shouqi: "Good question, hehe, this matter is that someone deliberately spread news to disturb people's hearts and lure those miniature people to rebel. Their goal is only one person, which is Zou Rui. Zou Rui is the eldest son of Zou's direct line, a member of Zou's group. The future heir. The real reason for the six-pointed star rebellion is nothing more than family infighting and factional disputes, and all the minifigures of the third base are funeral objects..."

Shen Jiyun once again fell into silence as if she had lost her strength.

Han Shouqi continued: "After we entered the base, Zou Rui discovered that there was a fraud in this matter. In order to protect me, he forced me to get out and report him in time..."

He recalled that night eight years ago, when Zou Rui was saving those miniature people, he suddenly sensed that the transmission between the connecting body and the main body was cut off.

Fearing that Han Shouqi would also be killed, Zou Rui rushed over and urged him, "Go back quickly and report me for assisting the miniature rebellion!" After saying that, he stabbed him in the heart.

Before losing consciousness, Han Shouqi struggled to call out Zou Rui's name, but Zou Rui said the last four words to him in the raging fire: "The future will last forever..."

After that, we haven't seen each other for eight years.

Han Shouqi exhaled a puff of smoke, raised her neck in the mist, and blinked her sore eyes vigorously.
