Chapter 66 The doctor acted decisively, using his supernatural ability to transform into a ball of black venom and quickly... underground.
The doctor acted decisively, using his supernatural ability to transform into a ball of black venom and move quickly underground.
After drilling for several days, suddenly—bang!
His head hit something hard, and he looked up, feeling dizzy.
What can stop his venom?
I looked up and emerged from the soil, realizing I had arrived at my destination.
He reached out to knock, somewhat puzzled, but refrained from doing so.
He looked up, completely taken aback. Why did Saint-Tier also have this protective shield? It felt almost exactly the same as the one in their base.
The thing he just bumped into was this protective shield.
Soon, the guards spotted him and naturally welcomed him inside.
And he said, "Even the adults have been waiting for you for a long time."
This surprised the doctor, who had assumed that they would be hostile towards people from his opposing base.
To my surprise, their attitudes were all unexpectedly good.
He was quickly led into a small room, which was their Holy Son's office where he handled documents.
The small space was crammed with countless documents.
This surprised even the doctors. Why not make a larger room?
As if sensing his question, the Holy Son quickly answered his doubts, "Long time no see, Doctor. Not long ago, my energy went out of control and I accidentally blew up the building where I used to work. This is a temporary office. It's not actually small, but there are too many documents, it's crammed full."
The doctor expressed understanding, after all, he had become the leader and had many things to deal with.
What I'm a little concerned about is, why did it get out of control? And was it that powerful that it destroyed an entire building?
He glanced up at Lan and a short man who were waiting beside him.
He was helping to organize the documents; wow, he only had one hand left.
"How pitiful," the doctor thought to himself without a second thought.
He seemed somewhat concerned about the shorter man, his gaze involuntarily sweeping over him a few more times. He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but it felt as if the man's figure froze for a few seconds. But he was quickly interrupted.
"I have already foreseen the reason why you came to me," the Holy Son said slowly and deliberately.
A smile still lingered on their lips, but the doctor couldn't help feeling something was off. It was as if these two children he'd watched grow up had suddenly matured. He didn't know how to explain it, but they just looked so alike.
"Now that you know, can you tell me?"
"Doctor—you want this kind of information for free? You should know that even though we've known each other for a long time, you can't just expect to get something for nothing, can you?"
The doctor was bewildered. "What do you want?"
Since he said that, it means there must be something the doctor could exchange for, which is why he brought it up.
It is said that they can make predictions, but I don't know if their predictions are accurate or not.
As for his earlier comment about how long they'd known each other, he pretended not to hear it. After all, they hadn't known each other for very long, and they hadn't met very often. Not even as many times as his assistant had met him.
"As expected, smart people speak effortlessly. What I want is also very simple. Before, when you gave Burger King the memory backup, give me a copy."
The doctor was momentarily stunned. What did he need this for? Although it was a bit strange, it wasn't a big deal to him.
And it seems I gave it to him once before.
Without hesitation, he agreed, "No problem, but the things are all at the base, I need to go back to get them."
"...Of course that's possible. I don't have a time limit, but you need to understand that I'm talking about a backup of the 'Burger King' memories," the Holy Son said with a smile.
The doctor's face stiffened, and he gave an awkward smile. "And what about that Burger King? It's just one Burger King, isn't it?"
The Holy Son smiled and shook his head, then sighed, "Don't play dumb with me. I'm talking about their sister, the real Burger King, not the Burger King we know."
The doctor was a little embarrassed, but he felt it was necessary to ask clearly, "Why? How do you know I have a backup of her memories? And what do you want to use it for?"
The Holy Son remained completely unfazed. "How do I know? Don't forget my identity; I can foresee the present, the future, and the past. So I know. As for what I use it for? Have you ever heard of someone who has risen from the dead?"
"Of course I've heard of it. Aren't you and Huiji both resurrected people?" the doctor blurted out instinctively.
I feel embarrassed to say it out loud; I know for sure they weren't talking about themselves.
Seeing the obvious stiffness on the Holy Son's face, for some reason, I felt a little happy. My mood inexplicably improved a lot.
I was talking about Burger King.
A hint of seriousness finally crossed the doctor's face. "You mean someone saw her?"
"Yes. I'm very curious, so I want this installment and to find out what really happened back then."
The doctor looked somewhat conflicted. His relationship with the Burger King wasn't particularly good, nor was it bad. He had genuinely admired the man at the time. He also felt a bit regretful about what had happened to him, despite their past disagreements.
I never expected that he would entrust such an important memory to him.
But after hesitating for a moment, he quickly and firmly replied, "Okay, I'll go back and get it right away. What about the intelligence?" He remembered that Burger King had instructed him to give the memory to whoever asked him for it.
"Once you get your memories back, I'll give them to you naturally, don't worry. As long as you're fast enough, it won't be a problem."
Seeing the Holy Son's smiling expression, he couldn't help but curse inwardly.
And yet, he's got his eye on him, isn't he? He's afraid he'll run away.
Just as he turned to leave, he suddenly seemed to remember something and turned back.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing..."
He suddenly lunged towards the shorter man and jerked upwards, causing a small portion of the small mask to fall off, though it was quickly pressed back down. However… the doctor had confirmed his suspicions.
"Huangji?" The doctor's eyes widened in disbelief.
The short man sighed softly, took off his mask, and revealed himself to be a toddler version of Hōjō.
"What?"
The doctor admitted that he had acted impulsively, but he also had a strange intuition. Now it seems that his intuition was right.
So, who was the person he saw at the base back then?
He almost instinctively wanted to run back, but was stopped by the Holy Son. "Don't rush. The one at the base is the real Xiji."
"What do you mean?" The doctor felt that a lot had happened recently, and he felt that his brain was a bit rusty. Should he add some engine oil?
"He is a clone, and Xingji is resurrection. Spiritual resurrection. You know, sometimes the soul and data are actually a little similar." With just a few words, the doctor instantly connected everything.
No wonder he thought that ethereal figure looked so rigid; it wasn't a physical entity at all, but a holographic projection. Right! Technology was so advanced back then, wasn't a holographic TikTok quite normal?
It's so realistic it's almost indistinguishable from the real thing, and the real clone that was at the base back then is right here!
What is their relationship? Were they that close when they were at the base? Probably not, since they were both vying for the director's favor.
Moreover, Aji was still alive when the surgery was performed on Aji.
The doctor was itching to go back and expose them immediately, but then quickly stopped herself, because she soon realized that the base was practically devoid of human operators; it was mostly made up of robots. It was obvious who they were supposed to obey.
"You just told me that easily?" the doctor asked, somewhat incredulous.
Telling him such a big secret so simply made him feel like he could be silenced at any moment.
The Holy Son smiled and said nonchalantly, "It's alright, this kind of thing won't affect him now. Besides, I'm also very curious, what kind of commotion can you make?"
Yes, he knows that the base is basically made up of robots now. So what can he do even if he knows?
However, he was still a little confused as to why Huji had come to his base.
Soon, he was urged to go back immediately. Watching the Holy Son buried in work documents, the doctor couldn't help but shudder. He absolutely, positively wouldn't become this damn leader. So much rubbish to do.
The doctor rolled his eyes and quickly rushed back. Before leaving, he took one last look and finally confirmed that the so-called protective shield was not a semicircle, but a complete circle that included the underground part.
This made him wonder why they didn't just make it into a semi-circular shape.
After all, this saves time and effort, while the whole circle consumes half as much energy, and what kind of protection is there underground?
He realized there was something they all knew about but were keeping quiet about, yet he was completely kept in the dark.
On the other hand, he sighed. It was actually quite simple. As an important alternate account, he couldn't afford to disconnect at any time. Given his irrational state at the time, he certainly couldn't make any decisions on his own.
Fortunately, these two accounts can communicate at a certain distance because their attributes complement each other.
So after he brought the doctor to the base for that transaction, he immediately connected with his own identity.
After the incident, it was basically through the actions of another persona that the divine authority was barely managed to be taken away. Then a series of reforms were implemented.
To prevent any trouble, cameras and holographic projectors were placed in almost every location.
Well, this is the only clone with [redacted], and it follows the Holy Son along just to avoid any mistakes. Because the Holy Son is now so capable of misunderstanding even a single command or action, there's no other way.
Fortunately, they were using the same person under different aliases, so there was 100% trust.
