Chapter 46 He is his substitute. He is his substitute.
"Hello, doctor." A clear voice rang out from behind.
The doctor rubbed his head, which had been aching lately from working overtime. He turned around and saw it was Huiji.
He narrowed his eyes. Just a few months ago, the director had confessed to him about reviving the ghost.
The director said he collected the energy particles from the so-called God's decomposition of the void using special instruments, and then combined them using a special magnetic field.
But does this really exist? You have to understand that they witnessed the Silence turn to ashes with their own eyes.
Reorganization? He felt it was all fake.
If their base really has this skill, doesn't that mean they can come back to life?
This is highly unlikely to be accomplished.
But now there is a living example standing right in front of him.
The person standing in front of him had the same memories and was behaving exactly the same way as before.
Even her appearance remained unchanged from before her death.
But this is completely illogical, not to mention how many years he has been dead.
A teenager who is about to come of age is growing every moment. Even if his height doesn't change much, his hair will inevitably change over the next few months.
However, he discovered that these children seamlessly integrated all the experimental data each time.
But in fact, his fingernails never grew long.
But he has no interest in exploring these things now.
I don't know when it started, but rumors began to circulate in various bases.
Anyone who gathers all the divine attributes of the savior of that time can become the new ruler of the world.
What is divinity?
What is a savior?
What exactly is the Lord of the World?
The doctor said he had many questions, but after the director's explanation, he finally understood a little.
He had also experienced some shocks, such as learning that the world they lived in was a novel world.
Of course, this was because of their transmigrated female character, Nangong Qi, who made him aware of some of the things that would happen later.
What is divinity? It's roughly equivalent to the protagonist's halo in a novel.
It can bring a certain amount of good fortune. If you possess a complete piece, then you will be blessed by the whole world. This is the Child of the World.
However, because the previous Chosen One of the World died, the world's divine authority was split and collapsed, and the order became chaotic and full of danger. This is why the world is so dangerous now.
In other words, as long as the world supports it, no more alien species will invade the world.
Whoever becomes the chosen one of this world, it will be a good thing for ordinary people.
As far as he knew, that so-called god possessed three divine aspects. This was because that god had been the one most trusted by the former Child of the World.
Of these three pieces, one was bitten off by Shao Ji, and one and a half pieces were taken by the current Holy Son, A Ji.
He didn't know exactly how many divine attributes there were in total.
But he was certain that their base also possessed a divine element.
It was hidden in the center of their base.
Logically speaking, they, along with Shao Ji's territory, should have the advantage.
Unfortunately, due to Nangong Qi's instigation, Shao Ji ran away to her biological father's place, where she was reportedly being groomed as his heir.
Almost everyone is praising Shao Ji's awakening of her romantic mindset as a wise choice.
Now, the three bases are openly recognized as places where people possess divine status.
As for those operating in secret, who knows how many more there are.
There's already a sense that a three-way power struggle is brewing.
Sometimes he couldn't help but think that Zhang really played a terrible hand.
It was such a good start, and the other two children, who both possessed divine status, ended up on their side...
Forget it, you can't say that.
Suddenly the doctor noticed that something seemed wrong with Hongji; it looked like he had just twisted his leg.
He frowned, but out of concern for his own people, he still asked.
"What's wrong? Could it be that there are aftereffects from the resurrection? Something's wrong. We should go find the director to check on you right away."
"Okay..." He only managed to utter one word before quickly shutting up.
He simply smiled and nodded, then quickened his pace, preparing to go find the director.
The doctor paused for a moment. He thought he had just heard a "good" sound, but the voice sounded off.
That's strange, there must be something wrong.
After thinking for a moment, he used his supernatural ability to transform into a pool of black liquid.
Slowly following Hongji forward, as they went further, Hongji's body seemed to become increasingly out of control.
In the end, he practically crawled up to the director.
The doctor looked around. He had never been to this place before, but he could tell at a glance what it was used for.
The director also noticed his arrival.
But she treated him like an object, only giving him a lazy glance.
Then the doctor heard the director mutter to himself, "Luckily, I came back according to regulations. Hopefully, no one else saw me."
?
Why can't others see it? Is there some specific condition for this resurrection?
Then he noticed the director, who casually picked up the child on the ground.
He patted it and said, "As expected, a fake is a fake. It's still not good this time, but it can barely be used as a substitute. Next time, I must develop a better one."
Then, without any mercy, he grabbed the child and threw him into the stove.
He was still talking to himself. "Since we can't waste the remaining materials, let's use them for the next project."
God knows how much turmoil the doctor was going through.
All around were cultures that had been soaking for one or two nights.
One unformed embryo after another.
It goes without saying whose embryos these were, and for the first time, he felt a sense of unfamiliarity with his childhood friend.
Her whole body turned ice-cold, and she hid even more carefully in the corner.
The so-called resurrection is nothing but a hoax.
It simply means that all the memories have been extracted—today's, tomorrow's, and the day after tomorrow's.
Then clones are created one after another, but they are all ultimately just copies, not the original.
Therefore, whenever someone is dissatisfied with their superiors, they are ruthlessly eliminated.
Because they are not irreplaceable; if one disappears, there will be two, three, four, and countless others.
Could it be because this boy shielded him from that blow last time that he developed an obsession with bringing him back to life?
But... in any case, since he already had life, yet he let it die, this is not the original him. He is just one pitiful substitute after another.
That's too cruel.
He didn't know how many lives, before he raised this question, had been created in this dark place without even leaving the house, only to be destroyed as failures.
Then, as the other side was incinerated, the new embryonic clone rapidly grew.
Soon he would appear in the same way he always did, a clone whose appearance was exactly the same as before, even down to the scars.
Then he opened his eyes, which were still full of trust, but the doctor knew that after a while, the fate of this newly created person would still be to become fertilizer for the next clone.
Then, this body, which carried the memories of all the previous people in charge, seemed a little unaccustomed to its current state after taking only a couple of steps. After a while, it finally got used to it and put on its previous clothes with a ticking sound.
After walking out, the doctor suddenly remembered something and quickly swam back to the previous location in the corridor.
Then he quickly transformed back into human form.
Sure enough, he soon heard the sound of footsteps coming from Hongji, and he could clearly feel it. He breathed a sigh of relief.
As for why he felt relieved? For the first time, the doctor felt a sense of powerlessness.
He was relieved that he hadn't discovered the secret.
...
"Phew~ I almost thought the doctor found a problem. Luckily there wasn't. Otherwise, I would have been exposed."
The director sat there casually; he had been trying to make this persona into a shell for himself.
Because this persona has a skill called immortality, although the body is gone, the soul remains and can freely travel between electrical networks.
It came in very handy, but because of Nangong Qi, he could only use the alias "Huo Ji" as bait to enter the fray ahead of time.
Unfortunately, after these years of training, the soul of this body has become extremely powerful, beyond the capacity of an ordinary body to contain.
This gave him quite a headache. He made several aliases for him, but each time, the alias would become useless after a short time.
So he could only dismantle the energy of this body shell to create the next one. Although this was more troublesome, he could still get by.
The new alias will probably persuade that person soon.
Nangong Qi has been making quite a few moves lately. To be honest, I really admire her spirit. Despite having so much work to do, she is still dedicated and insists on coming out every day to gather intelligence.
And then there's her disguise—when Shao Ji appears. She actually managed to find time to persuade her to leave, and even arranged for cover to be laid on the day she left.
That's truly admirable.
Then suddenly he noticed that the locator installed on Nangong Qi had moved.
Um?
What happened? How did she find this place?! He shouldn't have told anyone at the base, and the doctor didn't notice it either.
Because of the system that Nangong Qi possesses, he can always install locators on specific people and monitor their direction.
One of them was a lifetime, and there were also some people who were even slightly good-looking who were labeled and then monitored by the system.
However, he didn't have the authority to be the director, so he had to be very careful when entering the place each day.
He didn't want him to find out so quickly that the ethereal being in the lab was a copy he had made.
Just in case, and since the mind reader is no longer around, he could only attach a miniature detector to him.
He could spot her as soon as she got close, so how did she manage to find her way here?
"System, system, are you sure this is it? I've never found this place before!" The voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement.
Then, when the door opened, Nangong Qi was stunned.
