Degenerate species?

In the process of combining human genes and companion genes, gene chain redundancy occasionally occurs.The probability of this happening is so low that it is almost negligible.Half-humans with redundant genes are called degenerates.They can consciously suppress the accompanying genes in their bodies, so that their appearance looks completely the same as that of natural people.But such demihumans are often unstable in personality and have been shown to be markedly violent.According to federal law, manufacturers have the right to destroy degenerate species directly after they are found.

So how did this man survive until now?

Warren was curious about it.

"Interesting, tell me about your business!"

He rubbed the other's ear lightly again, and then reluctantly withdrew his hand.The auricles of demihumans are slightly higher than those of natural humans. There are long hairs on the outside of the ears, and dense and short hairs on the inside.He suddenly felt, maybe this is what it feels like to keep pets?

"Are you really not considering putting me down first?" The man bared his teeth.

Warren stood aside with great ease, smiling at him.

"Okay!" the man sighed, "I was born in a lair of space pirates. My brothers and I were born to do the business of burning, killing, and looting."

"Huh? You said that you are not a dog, are you a special product? Tell me what is the companion gene in your body."

Warren has heard that there are many space pirates who especially like invasion warfare.They will try their best to fight with merchant ships, and then use human sea tactics to seize control of the spaceship in a short period of time. In this way, not only can they get the cargo, but also a complete spaceship.But this also meant investing a lot of troops, and the pirates finally chose half-humans instead of robots.

On the one hand, such tactics require more flexibility than destructive power, and robots that can carry heavy weapons do not have much advantage over half-humans.On the other hand, all standardized production lines will directly input federal laws into the core program of the robot. This high-density process is extremely difficult to crack, and can only be manually modified one by one after leaving the factory.In this way, the cost of robots is far higher than that of half-humans.

The half-humans made by space pirates have a distinctive feature, most of them are special products with violent factors, such as bears, lions, wolves and so on.Especially the wolf-type half-human, because of its offensive and cooperative nature, has always been loved by pirates.Of course, space pirates have far more restrictions on half-humans in their hands than normal interstellar developers. It is hard for Warren to imagine how the man in front of him escaped from the pirate's lair.

"I'm indeed a special product. I carry the gene of the red wolf. I spent the first seven years of my life in a pirate's lair, and then the local security forces broke through there. I should have been destroyed immediately, but I hid I got up and used the special ability of the degenerated species to pretend to be a natural person. After that, I managed to get a false identity and worked odd jobs on several planets. Until one day, I realized that I was smarter than most natural people, so I On a whim, I decided to study at the Adjutant Academy. I chose the Adjutant Academy in Göttingen, which is the most difficult to get into. Getting in there is more complicated than getting a fake ID card. I spent three months researching the loopholes in the entire system , and finally became a student there by relying on a little luck."

Warren couldn't help but secretly startled.As the most famous adjutant academy in the world, the adjutant academy in Göttingen is a sacred place even for natural people, but the person in front of him only took three months to get in. Both the means and the tricks are admirable. !

"I have studied there for more than three years. It is not difficult for me to pass the examination of the elimination system. The difficulty is that I must always pay attention not to be discovered by others. The ability of the degenerated species can make me look and Natural people are exactly the same, but long-term use of this ability will make me mentally weak and accompanied by severe headaches. There is also a more troublesome place, I can't take blood, skin or hair samples. The assay can detect the associated genes, as long as If someone has doubts about me, they can use these things to discover my true face. Even if I can fool everyone, the monthly physical examination is still a difficulty that must be overcome."

"But you still managed to graduate," Warren sighed.

"No, I didn't graduate, just a little short. Of course, it's not a matter of my ability. Although the study materials about me may have been destroyed by the academy, I can assure you that I am definitely a member of the Academy of Göttingen." One of the best students in the school. It is ironic to say that one month before my graduation, we had the final team knockout match on a planet. This game not only tested our talents, but also tested our ability to cooperate. In the knockout match In the last loop, I saved a natural man and was injured. Since we were part of the same group, I thought it would be impossible for him to think of checking my blood. But obviously, I don't know enough about natural man's bad nature. After the team knockout round, there is the individual qualifying round. At that time, my group was already far ahead, and it was impossible to be eliminated even without me, but the individual round is different, because only one-third of the people can graduate smoothly, and there is one less competition The latter means more hope."

"But fortunately, I discovered the abnormality in time. Before the people from the academy came to arrest me, I had already left in a spaceship one step earlier. I chose Bethel as a new starting point. It is located in a remote place, but the relative environment is also more Fair. Anyone who is capable can get a place in Bethel. My goal is a small chamber of commerce headquartered in Bethel. It is best to have a mediocre president. Then after I become an adjutant You can get the greatest freedom, so that the other party has to rely on me."

"Then how did you expose yourself this time?" Warren knew that if his identity hadn't been exposed, this person would definitely not be hanging from the ceiling now.

"A rather stupid mistake, I'm not going to mention it. I only had time to leave a note in the pub before I got caught by this scumbag on the ground. He wanted to force me to sign a subordination agreement with him so he could permanently However, as I expected, he was timid by nature and did not dare to tell the truth to other people in the chamber of commerce. Even when he came to arrest me, he only dared to hire strangers as thugs. He also wanted to treat me Severe torture, but it's a pity that his torture method is not as good as a fraction of space pirates. Even if you don't show up tonight, I can still find a way to escape."

"Maybe!" Warren shrugged. "It's also possible that you'll die here from blood loss. You've finished introducing yourself, and it's my turn to introduce you to me and my Chamber of Commerce. My name is Warren Slim."

"Huh?" The half-person let out a low cry of surprise.

"Have you heard of me?"

"You're quite famous, especially recently, hehe, 'the boy of the archbishop'..." The half-man who was hanging said with a smile, "Wait! You're really only 17 years old, right?!" He looked at Warren, who was slightly taller than him, in amazement.

"17 years and five months, I don't have to fake it."

"It's even younger than me..." the half-human muttered.

"How old are you? You haven't told me your name yet."

"About 20 years old, pirates don't record birth dates anyway. As for names... I named myself Odin. Damn! I told you everything, and you're not going to let me down? "

Warren raised his eyebrows: "I haven't introduced my chamber of commerce yet."

"I know, I've seen a lot of reports about you. And it doesn't matter if you are capable or not? As long as you are willing to hire me, I will definitely make you a lot of money. Besides, I have no leverage. Think about it, this guy on the ground took over the Keith Chamber of Commerce from his father. He doesn't even know how much cargo a spaceship can transport. I'm in charge of everything for him, and he still lives very well. Of course, then Before he tried to control me."

"Okay, we can discuss this matter later. I have no objection to the sharing and dividends. Do you have any other requirements?" Warren looked as if he was going to sign an agreement with the half-man on the spot.

"I want freedom!" Odin's voice became serious, "I need absolute freedom. I will first sign a subordination agreement with you so that I have a registered identity, and then you must immediately give up control over me .Don't play tricks, if you still want me to work for you. I have to remind you that I am also good at killing people."

Lan, who was standing aside, frowned at the half-person's words.He didn't like Warren's hiring a degenerate half-human who was naturally violent as an adjutant.

"Interesting, maybe one day I will use your expertise." Warren didn't take the half-human threat to heart at all. "Lan, untie him." He said to Lan.

With a slight twist, the robot released the handcuffs hanging from the ceiling.

"So he is not a natural person." Odin glanced at Lan.He was a little unsteady, and the injury on his left leg was too severe.

"Blue is my robot."

"Sometimes 'tin heads' are more trustworthy than natural people."

What Odin said made Lan feel unhappy again.He was designed to be the assistant of the earthlings, and he was eager to serve the earthlings fundamentally, not to be compared with the earthlings.

"I have a question." Warren frowned. "Since you want to sign a subordination agreement, why did you choose to sign it with me instead of this guy on the ground? What if I want to control you like him?"

"Because he's already hopelessly stupid, and you seem a little clever." Odin grinned.

"So what are you going to do with him?" Warren asked.

"Let him go, what else? Your robot will not allow me to kill a natural person in front of him, right? So I have to let him fend for himself." Odin pressed his uninjured hand to his forehead, "Can Can't give me a hand, my head hurts a bit."

Warren immediately reached out a hand to grab Odin's arm, but Odin fell limp first, and Blue caught him before he fell to the ground.

Warren: "Take him back."

"Do I need to report this person to the Federation for illegal detention?" Lan pointed at the man on the ground.

Warren shook his head: "No, the definition of half-human freedom has always been very vague. Even if we report him, no one may be willing to accept it."

Lan couldn't help frowning: "The freedom of half-humans should only be restricted by the registered owner."

Warren: "The law is the law, and reality is reality."

Lan pursed her lips, temporarily accepting Warren's statement.He carefully picked up Odin and walked out of the underground vault with Warren.
