Chapter 321: Inhuman (129) (1st update) [VIP]

"So what you mean now is," Bai Jinshu stood by the window, tapping the window frame thoughtfully, "you suspect that these imitations that have appeared these days are related to the experiences of everyone back then?"

Cen Bingqi: "Yes, don't you think so? Do you think this thing could be..."

"Do you suspect this is a product of a laboratory?" Bai Jinshu stopped knocking.

"Hmm..." Cen Bingqi hummed, "But I am sure that we burned all the information very thoroughly at that time, and there is absolutely no one else alive except us..."

In other words, he suspected that these imitations were made by other laboratories.

According to Cen Bingqi, after killing other personalities in the consciousness, the cognition of this personality will enter the minds of everyone present.

From this perspective alone, the situation of these imitations is indeed a bit similar to this.

When Cen Bingqi appeared at the front desk, everyone was discussing Xiaoying's new discovery. When he remembered the existence of room N119 in his memory, it was normal for him to feel a sense of déjà vu from this description.

"After you killed the other personalities, did you obtain all of his memories?" Bai Jinshu confirmed, "From birth to death?"

"No, we only got the parts he could remember," Cen Bingqi thought for a moment and then spoke, "Just like my own memory, the closer it is, the clearer it is, and the farther away, the blurrier it is."

It is impossible for ordinary people to remember everything from the time they were born to the present. Most of the time, the more recent the memory is, the clearer it is, and the more distant the memory is, the vaguer it is. There is no memory at all of things before we can remember.

Bai Jinshu lowered his head thoughtfully.

This is where things go wrong.

According to Cen Bingqi, the memories they obtained after killing No. 28 were all of No. 28's memories. Although not complete, they were bright enough. Otherwise, he would not have used such a pathological description as "just like his own memories".

But they are different.

After killing the replica, Bai Jinshu had very few memories in his mind.

To confirm it again, Bai Jinshu recalled it again in his mind.

He has no memory of that night, but according to Cen Bingqi, he killed two replicas that night, and when he was about to dispose of the bodies, he found that the bodies had disappeared, and then he left the front desk.

When he woke up the next morning, only a small part of the memory appeared in his mind, like a flashback. There were only two parts: the person who looked exactly like him walking in the amusement park, and the two parts when he entered the hotel corridor, heard the gossip, swiped his card to enter, and was killed by Cen Bingqi.

In terms of both form and content, these memories are far from as extensive as Cen Bingqi said.

Moreover, the cognitive errors that Cen Bingqi mentioned would occur after receiving the memories did not happen to him. Although Bai Jinshu had no memory of the previous night, the moment he received these flashback fragments, he immediately realized that this was not him.

Then there are only two possibilities.

The first one is that the memory he got in his mind was incomplete, and more memories of this so-called imitation did not appear.

This is unlikely. He is more or less a celebrity. If someone who looks exactly like him appeared in this world, it is impossible for him not to be discovered by the public.

Then there is only the second option.

These two flashbacks are indeed the entire memory of the replica, which only appeared after he arrived on the island. That’s why he got so few memories, because the time it appeared was too short, or the replica’s own cognition was “I am Ersi”, so Bai Jinshu himself was not invaded by other cognitions that were very different from his own identity cognition.

"I roughly understand," Bai Jinshu pointed his finger thoughtfully, raised his head, thought for a moment and said, "You go back first."

He didn't think Cen Bingqi was lying to him. According to the current situation, Cen Bingqi had no reason to lie to him, nor did he need to lie to him. He was most likely Cen Bingqi, otherwise there would be no explanation for so many habits and the name "Ersi". If these people in his mind and the story just now were not his imagination, then these imitations must have some subtle connection with him.

But if the replica is connected to him and appeared because of him, then why would this thing entangle other people?

He was an experimental subject who escaped from the laboratory, or they were experimental subjects, but the original data was not destroyed, resulting in his data being in the new laboratory, which led to the creation of this replica that was exactly the same as him. This makes sense.

But what about everyone else?

It’s impossible that the others are also experimental subjects, right?

There were a few shouts coming from outside the door, and it sounded like the recording was over.

Bai Jinshu glanced at the time. It was around five in the afternoon. According to yesterday's time, the content recording had indeed ended at this time.

He pushed the door slightly open. In the villa's living room, the staff coming and going and several lights that had been turned off showed that his judgment was correct.

"Ersi?" Seeing him open the door, Xiaoying called out first, "Are you feeling better?"

Her voice made everyone look over, so Bai Jinshu had no choice but to push the door open and nodded: "Much better."

Because a large number of fill lights and cameras were needed in the recording venue, the temperature was slightly higher than outside. He himself was not sick and there was nothing unusual on his face. Several guests came over and observed him with some concern, but they couldn't figure out what was going on.

"It's really nothing." The staff were all watching, and Bai Jinshu could only emphasize again, "I just had a sudden headache just now. It might be because I didn't get enough rest last night. I don't feel it anymore after sleeping for a while. I can definitely fight ten more."

"Really? How could a person who didn't sleep well be like that? Then why don't you lie down for a while?" Hong Conghua looked left and right, still a little worried, "As for beating ten people, where can you find people to beat them up..."

She curled the corner of her mouth and quickly pushed the yellow-haired man next to her, signaling him to speak quickly.

"Oh, right, right!" Huang Mao followed up and advised, "We are not in a hurry to leave now. Director Qiao plans to continue recording the dinner in this villa. It won't affect you if you sleep for a few more hours."

"I can't fall asleep no matter how hard I try," Bai Jinshu said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "It's boring lying in the room..."

"Then you can just play with your phone and games," Hong Conghua simply pushed him inside, "Anyway, you'd better not show up tonight, otherwise even if you're fine, the audience in the live broadcast will think that something is wrong. In this case, not to mention that Director Qiao won't allow you, even we don't dare to let you appear on camera."

If they fainted in front of the camera, then this show would be useless. Three murders happened in a row, and then a guest fainted during the recording. Not only Director Qiao, but the entire show would become outrageous, with a lot of urban legends and groundless ghost stories.

Even Nian Yu was silently typing a line of words on her phone: "It doesn't matter whether you are okay or not. What matters is that Director Qiao's hair can't bear any more disasters."

Bai Jinshu: ...

That's true.

"Rest more," Herbisk was more direct. Without waiting for him to react, he pushed his back and pushed him back into the room. "You don't need to be out right now."

There was something ambiguous in these words, which indeed made Bai Jinshu, who was planning to participate in the recording, hesitate for a moment.

With all the staff present during the day, the replicas would most likely not dare to confront them directly in the crowd, and there would indeed be no situation where he would be needed.

Their highlight is still at night.

There are various recording schedules during the day, and if they want to verify whether Xiaoying's memory is credible, they must go to N119.

There is work during the day and surveillance at night. Even a strong man would be exhausted after four or five days of this, not to mention that if something happens at night, it will most likely depend on Cen Bingqi and others to come out and solve it.

We all use the same body, so he should rest more now to recharge his energy for the night.

But if these things are really related to him... Bai Jinshu has to think again about whether there are other ways, and whether he should call the police.

After all, once it comes to calling the police, no matter whether the police believe it or not, or whether they will continue to investigate, once the case comes into the police's sight, it will be difficult for them to intervene in the future.

The imitations of Hong Conghua and Nian Yu have not been dealt with yet. If we decide to call the police, we should at least kill the imitations of the two of them and eliminate the future troubles before making plans.

It was a big deal when a guest fell ill. All the other guests showed concern, then the director started to show concern. After the director showed concern, the staff started to show concern. Bai Jinshu was cared for all the way back to his room. Before the live broadcast started, someone even brought him a sick meal of plain porridge without any oil or water.

During the filming, Hong Conghua and Xiaoying sneaked in twice and asked him if he could go out again tonight. After getting a positive answer, Hong Conghua was obviously a little unsure about his imitation that had not yet appeared. His face was rarely anxious: "If you stick your head out, you will be cut. If you shrink your head, you will also be cut. What's the point of hanging on your neck? Come down quickly!"

Xiaoying also nodded: "Nianyu is cooking and can't come over, but what she meant is that the thing might be deliberately hiding from you. How about we follow N119 tonight, and the two of them act alone to lure that thing out."

Bai Jinshu pinched his nose: "It's a bit risky."

If Hong Conghua and Nian Yu were to act alone, the distance would be too close, and there was no guarantee that this thing wouldn't figure out that they were trying to lure the snake out of its hole. It might even discover that the other four people were planning to make a false alarm and tip off the enemy.

However, the distance was too far, and he was worried about the fighting ability of Hong Conghua and Nian Yu. What would he do if they couldn't get back at the critical moment?

As for dragging it out without resolving the issue?

The six guests are all action-oriented. Procrastination is not in their dictionary. They have already killed four, so these two won’t make a difference. Besides, this thing will try to kill the original and take its place. Killing its own imitation means that they can be safe temporarily.

As for what these things will become in the future? To be honest, Bai Jinshu himself did not have much desire to explore, nor did he have much curiosity. If he had not just accidentally discovered that the existence of the imitation might be inextricably linked to him, even if this imitation would spread throughout the world in the future, he would probably not bother to care after solving his own problem.

But now…

Bai Jinshu looked at the door closed by Hong Conghua, and suddenly a bold guess popped up in his mind, just like Cen Bingqi's guess at the beginning.

If he is not "Ersi" nor this "actor".

Then could it be that the others are not "Herbiskes", not "Hong Conghua", and not "Huangmao"...

They are not “entrepreneurs”, “cartoonists” or “racing drivers”…

It is just like Cen Bingqi and others who lived in the experimental area and were transmitted wrong information, thinking that they were researchers with connections.

They now appear in a bigger, more perfect, more sophisticated Truman World.
