"Don't worry, I won't hurt you."

"One of the absolute instructions my father gave me was that I must not harm humans."

The angel rotated slightly, and its electronic eyes blinked.

"I hope you can bring me out of the underground base and bring me here."

This request is puzzling.

"Didn't Tianchi say that you can move freely at Base 8?" Xia Shuang asked back.

The brother and sister got along very well today.

"He's talking about that imposter, the real me, not the me you see today."

"Of course, that's just a replica of me, it looks just like me."

“I was imprisoned deeper underground, where only my brother could go.”

"That imposter was used by my brother to fool the others."

Qin Tan, who was also fooled, did not believe the angel's words. Who knows who was lying among them?

"I'll show you a video."

An angel winks and acts cute, then an image is projected into the air.

The background is in a laboratory.

"This is footage of my father working back then." The angel's voice was nostalgic, filled with regret as she spoke of her father.

"It's my fault for failing to protect my father."

As the camera zoomed in, to their surprise, the subject of the image was neither their father nor an angel, but Tianchi (Heavenly Lake).

An angel lying in a nutrient tank.

The other person was pale and thin, looking malnourished.

Through the images, Qin Tan felt that Tianchi's health was very poor, as if he were seriously ill, but the Tianchi she saw today was healthy.

“This is the real older brother.”

“His health was very poor, and there was no medicine to treat him. The reason my father researched intelligent humans was that he hoped to store my brother’s memories in the body of an intelligent human.”

This father deeply loved his son.

His research was successful.

Memories belonging to Tianchi were grafted onto an intelligent human, who can now converse with his father as usual.

At this point, the intelligent human was just a metallic exterior, and the only thing it resembled in Tianchi was its voice.

The success of the experiment made the father ecstatic, but the memory transplantation was only the first part.

He wanted his own son, not a substitute.

The brain controls human movement and stores memories; the ultimate goal is to transplant the brain into the body of a mechanical life form.

The father began an endless series of experiments, and as a control group, an angel was born.

At this point, the angel was still a work in progress.

As for Number One, after a long period of training and transformation by his father, he resembled Tianchi himself more in both appearance and habits.

Seeing this, Qin Tan thought that what followed was that the first intelligent being had awakened its self-awareness and wanted to destroy the original body.

But that's not the case.

Tianchi himself, who had been in a coma, suddenly woke up one day.

He opened his eyes and survived, healthy and alive.

Even his ailments disappeared. This miracle made his father happy, but he also wanted to explore the secret behind it.

Qin Tan noticed that Xia Shuang glanced at him.

It must be because of her year-long coma.

But back then, I had walked through the abyss. Was Tianchi the same as her?

The film mostly depicts laboratory processes, many of which are tedious and boring, which the angels speed up.

Until one scene.

Two identical people stood before the father.

It's Tianchi and No. 1.

Number One is completely perfect, and there is no difference between it and the real person.

The father, who had two sons, could have enjoyed the joys of family life, but instead, he was determined to conduct brain transplant experiments.

As for the reason...

In the video, Tianchi is in pain upon hearing the news.

Perhaps in his mind, his father abandoned him and chose an intelligent human.

"Tianchi, your body has not fully recovered. It is supported by an unknown energy, which is causing great harm to your body."

"He is destroying you."

The father was explaining, and he presented a lot of data.

These data all indicate that the cells in Tianchi's body are in a highly active state.

Those cells constantly divide, die, and regenerate, far exceeding the capabilities of ordinary people.

This will put a burden on Tianchi.

If one day these cells stop working, Tianchi will die immediately.

It was this uncontrollable nature of energy that led the father to make his choice.

The father believed that this choice was correct.

"My brother disagrees."

The angel looked at the scene and saw the original model of the angel standing in the corner amidst the father and son's argument.

It was still very rough, like a newborn baby, looking blankly at the noisy family.

The scene jumps to the early morning, and the clock on the wall points to the early hours of the morning. Only the father is busy in the laboratory.

A figure appeared behind the father.

The shadows drew the father's gaze, revealing Number One's face.

To distinguish them, Number One always wore a standardized smile, so the tired father had no suspicions.

From an observer's perspective, Qin Tan keenly noticed that the corner of Number One's mouth curved upwards slightly after the other party called out the code name.

A short knife slipped from "Number One's" sleeve and pierced his father's heart.

At the moment the blood gushed out, others rushed in.

"Number One, what are you doing?"

That sound was the emotional fluctuation of Tianchi.

Accompanied by the furious roar of this "Heavenly Pool," everyone in the base witnessed the scene of Number One killing his father.

Countless people took up arms and engaged in a chaotic battle.
