Chapter 231 Extra Ten
The elevator didn't know which floor it stopped at, so Lu Ming rushed out and kept walking forward without knowing the direction.
The back of her head was burning with pain and she could hardly walk. So when she saw a circular flower bed in front of her with long chairs around it, she ran over and threw herself onto the chairs.
Her temples were throbbing, and she had no ability to think at all, but she finally understood one thing.
That is, even if Carl and Gu Chao share the same brain consciousness, they are two completely different people.
They each have different life experiences and different growth backgrounds. Even if there are some insignificant things in common, it cannot cover up the fact that the two people are completely different in other more important aspects.
Gu Chao is calm and reserved. Although he is indifferent to strangers, he will not make judgments easily. He will make a decision only after analyzing all known information. He is decisive and responsible, cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
And this hateful Carl is impatient, impulsive, doesn't trust anyone, and always likes to speculate about others with the greatest malice. He is like a frozen hedgehog, prickly and cold.
Therefore, if he cannot recover his memory, then her Ah Chao will never come back.
When she thought of this, her heart ached as if it was being cut by a knife. She could only hug her knees and cry silently.
After an unknown amount of time, she heard footsteps slowly approaching her.
But she didn't raise her head, still kept her head down, staring blankly at the ground.
The man sat down next to her and asked, "What happened? Why are you hurt?"
It's Lan.
Lu Ming didn't want to answer, but just shook his head gently, then felt dizzy and frowned.
Lan saw this and raised his hand to the back of her head: "Don't move, let me check you."
"Um."
After a moment, he put his hand down and said, "It's just a small cut, not a big deal."
Lu Ming didn't reply.
"Is it related to Carl?"
"Don't mention him." Lu Ming spat out four words coldly.
"Okay. I'll take you back upstairs then."
Lu Ming didn't answer or move.
Lan had no choice but to sit quietly beside her and accompany her.
After a while, Lu Ming asked softly, "Lan, why did you choose me to be the captain?"
"Didn't I tell you that you passed my assessment?"
"With so many people in the system, am I the only one who passed? That's impossible."
"So what do you think?"
"I don't know. I just know that I wouldn't be able to be captain without you by my side."
Lu Ming was very confused at this time, and then she asked another question, "Also, can a person only have one memory at a time? Why do I have the memories in the reincarnation system, but can't remember what kind of person I am in reality?"
"Are you sure you want to talk about this here?" Lan suddenly turned his head and glanced somewhere, then said, "Why don't we go back upstairs and talk about it later."
Lu Ming was a little confused. "What's the difference between being here and up there? It's just the two of us anyway."
She glanced at Lan and pouted. "Are you still afraid that the damn guy will come and eavesdrop? You're overthinking it. He doesn't care about my affairs. And even if he were, I wouldn't be afraid of him finding out. I don't have any secrets anyway. Unlike him, he's like he's carrying a treasure chest, always worried about this person or that person finding out."
Lan laughed, "That makes sense."
Then he looked at Lu Ming and replied, "A person's memory doesn't have such strict boundaries. Generally speaking, everything they can remember is what left a deep impression on them. Your brain has great potential. No matter how many worlds you've visited, as long as you process them according to the normal process, those memories can theoretically coexist."
"And you have no memory of this world because," he paused, "in a sense, you were just born here."
"Ah? What do you mean?" Lu Ming was puzzled. She looked at her seventeen or eighteen-year-old body and asked suspiciously, "Are you kidding me? I'm such a big person, how can I be a newborn?"
"Do you remember what I said? Suddenly, starting from a certain year, no newborns were born on Earth? At that time, some scientists studied fertility issues, while others focused on cloning and artificial creation. And you are one of the most perfect results."
These words hit Lu Ming's heart like a sledgehammer.
She asked in surprise, "So I'm... a clone? A cyborg?"
Lan shook her head. "Neither. At that time, those scientists suddenly remembered that some warehouses still contained fertilized eggs that had been extracted and frozen many years ago, but for some reason had never been inoculated. Since these reproductive cells no longer had any direct relatives, the scientists applied to the government to use all of them for research. One of the projects was to use them as mother cells to clone identical cells."
"But, unfortunately, all cloned fertilized eggs, whether healthy, diseased, with DNA defects, or perfect, all die at the end of the embryonic stage at eight weeks of development. The mortality rate is 100%. Many years have passed, and there has been no progress. Scientists have concluded that the inability to create new life seems to have nothing to do with the human body itself, but rather with time. Any embryo formed after that year will not be able to grow to maturity."
"So, as these pearls left in the ocean, you are incredibly valuable. So someone suggested freezing these fertilized eggs and hatching them when a solution is found."
"But there was an accident. The freezer you were in was damaged. When the scientists arrived, they could only rescue half of the animals. The other half had already died."
"And of this half, most are on the verge of death, so they can only put these embryos into incubators and raise them to adulthood."
"Just then, the International Alliance needed to select a captain, but due to the complex composition of its members, they were unable to decide on a candidate. Someone suggested choosing from among these artificially bred individuals. After all, they had clean backgrounds, no immediate family, no ties to any party, and excellent physical qualities. Their genes had been edited to perfection."
"This proposal was approved, so all future captains will be selected from among these people."
"As for your body, this is the first time you've awakened in this world since reaching maturity, so of course you have no memory of this world."
So that's how it is.
Lu Ming nodded, but she suddenly realized another problem.
She murmured, "So, even here I am, and I have no relatives?"
This sentence was clearly transmitted to a certain corner, like an arrow piercing the heart of someone hiding there.
He quietly raised his eyes, looked at the lonely figure through the gap, and felt a little blocked in his heart.
So, he misunderstood her?
No wonder her body is so fragile, it turns out it's because of this...
