The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

Xiao Lou suddenly had a splitting headache.

Something in the back of his mind seemed to be awakened suddenly, like a seed bursting out of the ground, quickly sprouting and breaking through the soil, the severe pain seemed to pull his nerves away one by one, he closed his eyes in pain, Pressing his temples hard with both hands, the shirt on his body was instantly soaked in cold sweat.

Seeing his pale face, Yu Hanjiang hurriedly hugged him, and his voice was a little hoarse from worry: "What's wrong with you?"

Xiao Lou shook his head frantically with a pale face: "There are many messy pictures in my mind..."

There was a lot of blood, a face that was exactly the same as his own, and the cries of children.

It was a place scarier than hell.

Xiao Lou's eyes were blood red, those identical people pulled each other, and the children's claws turned into the sharpest knives, stabbing the bodies of the same kind.

There was blood everywhere in the house.

He was so tired that he was out of breath, his physical strength was gradually exhausted, the wounds on his body were constantly oozing blood, and his consciousness gradually became blurred, but he knew that once he fell down, he would die immediately.

what to do?Why did the king ask him to come to this place that was more terrifying than a nightmare?Who are these people?Why does he look the same as himself, and his father asked him to find a way to survive, what should he do?

Seeing children falling down one after another around him, he suddenly came up with an idea.

Xiao Lou saw himself running to a corner, lying down and pretending to be dead, and covering himself with a child's corpse.

The pungent smell of blood made him almost unable to breathe.

He raised his head and met a pair of eyes, which were the eyes of a 5-year-old child.The unrepentant child had a face exactly like his.

Xiao Lou: "..."

When he suddenly woke up from the nightmare, Xiao Lou found the familiar glass skylight of the hotel above his head, through which he could see the sky full of stars. He stared blankly at the sky until a familiar voice sounded in his ear: "Are you awake? Your head still hurts." ?"

The voice was deep and gentle, it was Yu Hanjiang.

Xiao Lou came back to his senses, frowned and wanted to get up, Yu Hanjiang immediately supported him, and put a pillow on his back to make him more comfortable.

The other teammates were not there, this was his and Yu Hanjiang's bedroom in the hotel, Xiao Lou asked doubtfully, "I fell asleep?"

Yu Hanjiang said: "To be precise, it should be a coma. You fainted from the pain, I was worried about you, and carried you to the bedroom to sleep, and I watched from the side."

Xiao Lou looked at the time on his wrist.

They returned to the hotel at 03:30 in the afternoon, and it was already 03:30 in the morning, and he passed out for 10 hours.Yu Hanjiang didn't even change his pajamas, just sat on the edge of the bed and watched over him. Xiao Lou's heart warmed, and he gently held the other's hand and said, "I remembered the incident when I was five years old, maybe it was because we reasoned out that raising Gu With this key message, the gatekeeper restored my memory."

Looking at his still pale face, Yu Hanjiang asked in a low voice, "Is it really so?"

Xiao Lou nodded, his voice trembling slightly: "Out of 100 clones, only 4 survived in the end. The father put all the children together and let everyone compete for survival based on their strength. I saw so many children who are exactly like me , I was shocked at the time..."

That memory was as real as if Xiao Lou had experienced it himself.

Competing with 100 "selves" for the right to survive is even more cruel than a battle royale in a horror movie.

Yu Hanjiang hugged Xiao Lou lightly: "How did you survive? You don't have Zerg genes in your body. With hand-to-hand combat, you shouldn't be able to beat those clones, right?"

Xiao Lou smiled wryly: "I hid in a corner and pretended to be dead, and covered myself tightly with a child's corpse, so they stopped attacking me. Many duplicants have just been released from the nutrient solution, and they can't even speak Said, compared with them, my only advantage is that I have lived in human society for five years and know a lot of knowledge, while they were catalyzed in the nutrient solution until they were five years old, and they only have nature and instinct."

In other words, the five-year-old Xiao Lou survived the "Gu Project" by relying on his IQ.

The others rely on their own physical advantages.

Although their genes are the same, but the culture medium is different, there will definitely be subtle differences after they are raised.

The replicants released from the laboratory had no experience of human education, so their IQs were at the infant level, but the growth rate of their bodies was accelerated by the nutrient solution, and they turned into five-year-old children.

His Majesty put these children together to find the best ones to continue training, and the other defective products were directly destroyed...

It was indeed a cold-blooded and brutal plan to raise Gu.

Perhaps in the eyes of His Majesty, these children are just his private "items" raised by him, and he has the right to "select the best".

Although the group of 5-year-old children at that time had no emotions, Xiao Lou couldn't help but feel chills all over when he thought of the bloody scene of countless identical children competing for survival.

After that selection, Xiao Lou underwent deep hypnosis and forgot everything.

Yu Hanjiang didn't expect that His Majesty of the Luo Ke Empire was actually a lunatic!He said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty wants to put the replicas together to select the best ones to continue training, but why don't you even let your own ones go? What if you were killed in that selection? Perhaps Your Majesty thinks, A prince who can't even copy a baby's IQ, doesn't deserve to live?"

"Probably, after all, those 100 are indeed the IQ of a baby. If I can't solve this difficulty, he will probably choose to abandon me." Xiao Lou pressed his temple lightly, quickly regaining his composure, and said: "Leaving aside the ethical issues of this matter, some details I discovered from my five-year-old memories should help us."

Yu Hanjiang said softly, "I'll pour you a glass of water, and your voice has become hoarse."

He got up and poured Xiao Lou a glass of warm water. Xiao Lou took a few sips to moisten his throat. Sure enough, his throat felt much better. Xiao Lou cleared his throat and continued: "First of all, the children who survived the selection, Including me, there are four in total, the princes we saw in the palace before added up to three, where did the remaining one go?"

Yu Hanjiang guessed: "Could it be hidden secretly by His Majesty?"

Xiao Loudao: "It's possible. But it's also possible that it was taken away by someone with a heart."

He paused, and then said: "In addition, human cells are still human after adding Zerg genes, and have not obtained the ability of Zerg to integrate and upgrade each other. , If you die, you are dead. However, the duplicants have obtained the healing ability of the Zerg, and the wounds on their bodies can heal after a period of time. It's very slow."

Yu Hanjiang frowned: "What about climbing and jumping?"

Xiao Lou shook his head: "No, human beings still have to walk upright. This may have something to do with the gene fragments screened when copying cells. Hybridization and fusion of species is inherently a very complicated technology, and mutations may occur."

Just the healing ability is already very powerful.

Normal human beings are injured and have to go to the hospital to be bandaged for treatment, while replicants are injured and can wait for self-healing.

Xiao Loudao: "What I'm worried about is that if the internal organs of the clones can heal themselves and the broken limbs can regenerate, it is equivalent to becoming an 'undead', never getting sick, and not needing to go to the hospital .Like Zerg, only afraid of fire?"

Yu Hanjiang said with a sullen face: "This is almost the same as the realm of ancient emperors who cultivated to become immortals."

"That's right." Xiao Lou said helplessly: "Currently the research on replicants is only limited to the first generation. No one knows whether the second generation born after replicants combine with normal humans will mutate again. I As I said before, the insertion of artificially modified genes into the human gene sequence is likely to trigger the butterfly effect and cause various genetic problems that cannot be solved."

Yu Hanjiang nodded: "We have to stop all of this."

Xiao Loudao: "What my sister saw was only my clone. And the Noah's Ark project not only took my own cells, maybe there are other clones. To stop all this, we must find all the clones. people."

Yu Hanjiang whispered: "What should we do with them after we find them? Destroy them?"

The scary thing is that most of today's replicants have become adults in their 20s. They have lived in human society for so many years and have their own thoughts and consciousness. There is no obvious difference between them and humans except for genes.

How to "destroy" these replicas that already have self-awareness?

What's the difference between that and murder?

Xiao Lou took a deep breath and said, "Simply destroying is definitely not enough. There must be another way. Let's find all the replicants first. Stopping the Noah's Ark plan should be the way to pass the secret room?"

Yu Hanjiang also recognized this point: "Okay. You have one less copy, we must find 'No. 4 Xiaolou' as soon as possible. Secondly, we also have to investigate the legend about the invisible man that your sister said, and we must find it and save it." Brother Nine and Tang Ci's people, they must know something."

Xiao Lou frowned and said, "My sister said it was a sea creature. The ocean area of ​​this planet exceeds 50%. Where are the sea creatures?"

Yu Hanjiang said helplessly: "Let's look slowly. You can always find some clues by investigating along the seaside."
