Therapy Planet No. 13

As Lui and Angor guessed, this planet is a completely divided land.

In other words, this is a deliberately created single-blind experiment laboratory.

It is true that the sentinel race is the product of human mutation as recorded in history.

In the long history of human evolution, the Creator accidentally made a joke on the Earthborn, allowing humans to come into contact with the concept of the spiritual net for the first time—although the Earthborn at that time did not realize the connection.

This joke came and went quickly, and the proportion of sentient beings in the crowd was very small, and the possibility of giving birth to offspring was not too high.

But even so, Shao Xiang's spiritual network still attracted the attention of some people.

They tried to trap the existing outposts, or tricked them here, opened up territories, settled down and started a family.

After all, collective memory inheritance like Sirois is only a minority in the universe, and the memory of most human beings is short and fragile.

One generation remembers, two generations blur, and three generations forget.

The past becomes stories, stories become legends, and legends become myths.

This is how memories fade and reconstruct slowly.

"Don't you suspect that the Federation wants to manipulate people's spiritual network?" Dongyang smiled sarcastically, "You guessed it."

This is one of the many experimental bases.

The Sentinels are sensitive, and their emotions are easily influenced by the outside world, and the guide is the only existence that can control the Sentinels - through the spirit net, one-on-one.

Suddenly one day, someone came up with a genius idea:

If a guide's mental power is strong enough, can he control all the sentries at the same time?

Once such an idea takes root, it begins to radiate virally.

Some proposed to transform the sentinel; some proposed to transform the guide; some suggested combining the genes of the sentinel and guide to see if they could find a new breakthrough.

"...Could it be you?"

Huo Wen's eyes widened, and he looked at his playmates who grew up together in disbelief.

Originally, she thought that her hometown was already weird enough, but now that even her existence would become weird, Huo Wen couldn't accept it for a while.

"No." Dongyang shook his head, and the hands of the two names in the air were pressed harder, but there was a feeling of punching cotton, only hollow bitterness.

"A semi-failed experimental subject survived the transformation."

Dongyang gritted his teeth: "It's a guide whose spiritual power has been expanded, Chi Dong."

winter.

Lu Yi, who caught a glimpse of the inscription floating in the lower right corner behind Dongyang, instantly understood.

Chi Dong, Chu Yang, the names of these two people are connected with Dong Yang, and the relationship between them is very clear.

"The experiment was unsuccessful, but in an accident, Chi Dong discovered the secret of the entire planet, and was hunted down by relevant personnel... This planet was destroyed in this process."

A large amount of special radiation leaked, but almost no one who was infected would live long.

"Wait, what are you then?"

"Me?" Dongyang smiled self-deprecatingly, "I am the genetically programmed offspring of her and a sentinel."

Jessica was silent for a moment, pointed to the petri dishes around and asked, "Aren't these all the same as you..."

"No, those are not my brothers and sisters." Dongyang had a strange expression on his face, "I am the only experimental body synthesized from their genes, and they didn't even know it when they extracted the genes... just before the planet was about to be destroyed, They noticed this truth and tried their best to send the petri dish containing 'me' outside the atmosphere."

Then spent the last part of his life leaving this letter.

I don't know if there will be a day when it will be reappeared.

I don't know if it will be seen by a specific person.

Even if there is only such a faint hope, I have written so much without hesitation.

It's a wonderful feeling.

In Dongyang's memory, she doesn't have the slightest awareness of her parents, and the only person she can call "mother" is the one who picked her up from the universe.

When she was a child, she would even think harshly that if her biological parents were still alive, they must have given up on her on their own initiative. There is no need for her to look for such parents—but the "mother" would take the trouble to repeat this in her ear A story about her before she was born, and even when she was dying, she was still persuading, "If you have a chance, you should find a way to find it along the clues."

It may be that the identity of a pirate has allowed "mother" to witness too many life and death, but she values ​​the emotional connection much more than ordinary citizens-you must know that this is a baby that can theoretically be separated from the existence of blood parents from birth to growth. It's not that traditional ethical concepts have not completely receded, and the new generation doesn't even have the concept of parents.

Dongyang imagined countless possibilities, those who were deliberately abandoned, those who were accidentally lost, and those who were persecuted by the environment...

But she never expected that the "mothers" in her blood didn't even know her existence the moment before she died.

And after knowing it, he gave her a glimmer of life without hesitation.

"Some people..." Angel played with Dongyang's words just now, looking around, "Ha! It seems that we are not the first to know!"

The message behind Dongyang seemed to be on time, and flickered a few times, then began to shrink inward from both ends, and disappeared with a swipe.

Louis asked, "Do you know who it is?"

Now the most likely behind-the-scenes black hand is undoubtedly the Federation, but for some reason, Louis always feels like he has overlooked something, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart is getting stronger and stronger.

"We're looking in the wrong direction."

Dongyang shook his head, but did not answer the question directly.

"...Chi Dong didn't say anything." She immediately followed up.

I don't know why, but it's awkward for her to call her "mother" in name.

Dongyang hesitated for a moment, but chose to call him by his first name.

"What do you mean?" Huo Wen didn't know why.

Dongyang squatted down, picked up a small stone from the ground, and carefully scratched a few scratches on the ground one stroke at a time. She didn't stop until the pattern was fully revealed.

Louis was silent for a moment when he saw this pattern.

It was a small tower.

"Sentries have keen five senses, so they usually have to live in a building named 'tower', managed by the 'tower', surrounded by white noise - to protect their delicate five senses. They cannot leave the 'tower' until they are combined with a matching guide 'Perform tasks, free activities."

"But we didn't see the tower at all when we came..." Jessica was stunned.

She didn't participate in the group's previous speculation about the power, so she didn't know what the back of the tower meant, and she wouldn't immediately think of it at this level.

"The 'tower' was destroyed." Dongyang explained with difficulty, "During the last riot, it was destroyed by people."

"Look at—"

Angel picked up the old newspaper, turned to the upper left corner, and found that every page was printed with a tall white tower watermark, which seemed to be some kind of mark.

"It's here too."

Louis quickly understood what Angel meant, and her eyes subconsciously locked around, and soon found that there were such marks on the water glass and even the coaster.

The marks are too small, and they don't have a uniform shape: straight, slanted, black, white... don't stick to any form, and even make people feel that this is an ordinary decorative painting.

And the age is too long, many complete tower shapes are blurred, and most of them can't think of anything at first glance, but as long as you have the image of the tower in your mind, you will find——

That is the tower.

Other than that, nothing else.

"This was once... a country where politics and religion were united."

The unity of politics and religion is a very typical political term in modern times. Compared with the four words mentioned by Chi Dong in his letter, Dongyang is more inclined to explain this concept with the words he is used to.

A theocracy, or religion over the federation.

Religions with "towers" as their totems are rare, and with the emergence of "Divankoti", the Tower of Babel religion is already on the list of suspects.

It's just that most of them came forward after that, and the direct and indirect connection with the major forces is only the most likely for the Federation... so that they subconsciously lean towards the government.

This trip, to be honest, both Lu Yi's side and Zong Shili's faction were all aimed at taking advantage of the Federation.

But I never expected that at the end, it was the shadow of the Babel Church that popped out.

"This is really..." Angel burst out laughing, his eyes filled with a deep sense of inquiry, "It's kind of interesting."

"You're from number 13, right?"

Dongyang knelt down and buckled the nameplate of the base - it was welded on at first, but the steel embroidery had corroded a lot over time, and it could be snapped off with a light buckle.

Her thumb touched the string of symbols at the bottom of the name "Dongyang", and slowly spit out the last message.

"Some of the experimental language here also uses an independent writing system."

Dongyang revealed the symbol in his hand: "This should be the meaning of number ten."

There are thirteen laboratories in total, and the difference between No. 13 and No. 10 is so different. Louis has every reason to suspect that each planet has its own operating system.

People in the 13 planets are either alive or dead, knowing or not, all involved in a grand social simulation experiment.

A chill rushed up her spine—if one didn't know the specific number of people involved in the experiment, who would doubt that any ordinary citizen was not involved in this social simulation experiment?

The particularity of Almi, the particularity of the university city, and even the individual planet laws of each planet—what is the difference from this unaware number 10?

at the same time.

Federal Sanxingdui Research Institute.

"You seem to enjoy the 'Winter Sun' experiment."

A new researcher couldn't help laughing at the only half-grown child in the research room who was wearing a white coat for research all day long and went into the database with a serious face to look through various confidential materials.

Finally, after entering the database for the tenth time to get things and meeting Li Ming, the new researcher finally couldn't help but talk to her.

"It's obviously an experiment that failed long ago and was stopped, but you still look at it so enthusiastically?...Is this the fourth time? As far as I can remember, it's the fourth time you've gone through this stack of materials, right?"

Li Ming raised his head, closed the file, and said calmly, "No, I'm not reading the file."

"Then what are you looking at?" The new researcher was surprised.

Dawn responded with a smile: "Story."
