Chapter 137 The Death of My Daughter (20)

Around nine o'clock, Yan Chi got up to say goodbye after being prompted by Zhao's father's eyes. Chu Nian felt that her chance had come and quickly stood up as well, saying, "I'll see him off." Seeing that Zhao's mother was about to get up to see him off as well, she quickly added, "Mom, you rest for a while, I'll see him off."

Seeing this, Yan Chi also said, "Yes, Auntie, as long as Zhuzhu is there for me, that's fine!" He already sensed that Chu Nian had called him here because she had something to discuss.

After Zhao's father coughed a few times, Zhao's mother, who had originally wanted to insist on seeing Yan Chi off, changed her mind and said with a smile, "Then Zhuzhu, you see little Yan off properly for us!"

“Zhuzhu, let me help you see Mr. Yan off!” Zhao Zhen suddenly stood up and said.

Chu Nian said, "No need, I'll take him."

Yan Chi quickly echoed, and very politely said, "Yes, please stay, sister."

Chu Nian pulled him out the door quickly, genuinely afraid that someone would suggest coming along to see him off.

"It seems your family is quite satisfied with me," Yan Chi said with a hint of smugness after they came out.

Chu Nian: "Don't overthink it. I called you here to discuss something important, not what you think."

Yan Chi: "It's okay. You're still young anyway. If you want to date and get married, you'll have to wait until after you go to university. I'll wait a bit longer."

Chu Nian was speechless for a long time before finally saying helplessly, "Don't be obsessed with me, I'm just a legend." After a pause, she checked that no one was around, then used her special ability to create a soundproof barrier, even isolating the chip's transmission capabilities inside Yan Chi's body, before asking, "Among those clones released by Maria Corporation, are there any that don't have chips?"

“No,” Yan Chi said. “Before you release a pack of dogs from their den to bite people, wouldn’t you first find a way to completely control them?”

Chu Nian murmured, "That's right. If you don't have complete control and let the dog out to bite people, what if the dog doesn't obey and bites you back?" But Zhao Nian really doesn't have a chip inside her!

She then asked, "So, after the clone is released, is it possible for it to remove the chip itself?"

“Yes,” Yan Chi said. “As long as they don’t want to live anymore, they can just remove the chip themselves. I told you last time when I removed the chip from the clone Yan Chi’s body that if the chip’s connection with Maria Corporation is not isolated, the chip will explode the moment it leaves the body. Once Maria Corporation discovers that the chip is not in its proper place, it will detonate it.”

"Well..." Chu Nian pondered, "Can't there be exceptions?"

Yan Chi said, "There can be no exceptions." After thinking for a moment, he added, "Anyway, I haven't seen any exceptions yet, unless someone has the same ability as you and can cut off Maria Corporation's control over the chips."

He has been imprisoned by the Maria Company since he was thirteen years old, and now at twenty-two, he has been imprisoned for ten years.

As a test subject in the cloning research lab, Maria Corporation extracted genes from him for human cloning research; on the other hand, Maria Corporation's gene recombination program also developed many drugs that mutate genes, and he was also a test subject for these drugs.

For ten years, these immature experimental subjects brought him endless pain, but starting last year, he found that his body began to change for the better, and he gained some abilities that ordinary people do not have: for example, a sensory ability far beyond that of ordinary people.

Although imprisoned in a laboratory, he can hear and see many things happening outside. He can also use his mind to access computers in other laboratories, and so on. However, this is limited to the cloning laboratory; he is unable to explore the other major laboratories.

Chu Nian previously suspected that the superpowers in this world might have originated from the experiments conducted by Maria Corporation, and the reason for this was that Yan Chi clearly already possessed some superpowers.

Because the research on cloning was successful several years ago, Yan Chi's genes have not been extracted to create clones of him in recent years. Furthermore, Yan Chi has been carefully concealing the changes in his abilities, so the company has not yet discovered that Yan Chi has developed five senses far beyond those of ordinary people, and naturally no one has thought to guard against his five senses.

With these abilities, Yan Chi had long ago obtained all the data from the cloning laboratory. If any clone could break free of the chip, this data should have recorded it. However, even when he and the clone Yan Chi swapped places and left, he found no such record.

"What? You've been asking about these things, have you discovered something?" Yan Chi asked curiously.

Chu Nian shook her head and said, "I need to investigate this matter first, and I'll tell you when I have a definite result."

She didn't want to talk about it, and Yan Chi didn't want to press her for answers.

After seeing Yan Chi off, Chu Nian ignored the curious stares of the four elders in the living room and went straight back to her room: she felt that she had a long way to go!

Zhao Nian's unusual behavior will likely only become clear to her once she hacks into the high-level files of Maria Corporation. Since Yan Chi has an extremely thorough understanding of the cloning lab, anything he doesn't know will require digging deeper into the company.

Late at night, Chu Nian had just finished putting away a large amount of technical data and was about to rest when her phone suddenly flashed a blue light, as if it had malfunctioned. Chu Nian was horrified.

Because Fei Sisi's time of death was approaching when the original owner was alive, and in order to prevent Fei Sisi from being in danger and not being able to discover it in time, Chu Nian specially linked his mobile phone with Fei Sisi's mobile phone, watch, and all her electronic devices.

If Fei Sisi does anything unusual, her phone will issue an alarm: it's like this screen flashing now.

Chu Nian's heart skipped a beat, and her superpower immediately spread out. She was grateful that this world had superpowers and that she had absorbed them all, which greatly enhanced her superpower. Once it spread out, it covered most of the city, so she quickly found Fei Sisi.

In the dead of night, Fei Sisi ran out of the house wearing only a bathrobe, sobbing uncontrollably, as if something had happened that had devastated her. Chu Nian used his supernatural abilities to create a barrier around himself and followed her like a ghost.

Chu Nian wanted to see what Fei Sisi was up to.

As a result, Fei Sisi climbed to the top of a 32-story building and walked straight to the edge of the roof—she was going to jump!

It actually happened a few days earlier than when the original owner was alive?!

Logically speaking, after being reminded by herself, Fei Sisi shouldn't still be curious enough to secretly spy on Zhao Nian's secrets.

Moreover, Chu Nian had already quickly reviewed the surveillance footage of Fei Sisi on his way here and found no evidence that Fei Sisi had tried to spy on Zhao Nian's words or actions. In fact, Fei Sisi was perfectly normal before going to bed tonight.

This means that Zhao Nian, or rather Maria Company, suddenly took action against Fei Sisi.

Why?
