Chapter 116 Life and Choice



When Jiang Chuyi heard the word "boyfriend", He Sizhao's face flashed through her mind, making her look a little subtle.

Looking at her expression, the doctor's smiling face twisted quickly for a moment, then immediately returned to normal.

"It seems you've admitted it, about your new boyfriend." His voice deepened, and his smile faded. "It was because of him that you happily left me. Even after you knew I existed, you never tried to find me. Are you happy with this random guy? Can he bring you something more than what I brought you up with?"

Even though Jiang Chuyi had known the doctor for more than ten years, she still couldn't stand his familiar way of speaking, which was as nagging as if he was talking to a child at home.

The question is, what parent would easily raise a scalpel to their own child? Even her bastard biological parents, no matter how terrified they were of her, only sent her to a lab and didn't kill her themselves.

In the past, she had never come into contact with other humans and just thought the Doctor was annoying and his tone of voice was indescribably weird. Now that she has come into contact with many humans and can integrate well into human society, when she listens to the Doctor speak again, she can't think of any other adjective except the word "pervert".

"Whatever you say is what it is." Jiang Chuyi didn't bother to argue with him. In her opinion, he had his own worldview, even more twisted than hers. "Now that you've asked your questions, it's time to answer mine, right? You extracted something from my other self—genes, cells, whatever you want to call it—and created these clones?"

"As expected of my Xiaoyi, you're so smart." The doctor applauded, as if Jiang Chuyi had just answered that one plus one equals two. "Honestly, I haven't spoken to someone like this in a long time. A clone is ultimately just a man-made creation. No matter how similar the appearance is, it can never compare to the real person—that is you, my daughter. You are the most important person to Daddy. Daddy can't live without you. If the original Jiang Chuyi was you, there wouldn't be any point in these clones."

Jiang Chuyi suddenly had a creepy idea. She looked down at the shattered replica at the doctor's feet and suppressed her nausea.

"You made these things... for... me?"

The doctor nodded readily, "I've been with you for eighteen years. Everything about you is stored in me." He pointed at his head. "Your personality, preferences, thoughts, temper—I know it all. I've created numerous simulations of your personality for these clones to learn from, and even forcibly implanted them in their heads. Sadly, of all the clones I've made, not a single one looks like you."

“…” Jiang Chuyi was speechless for a moment.

She recalled the original self she had seen in her memory, who was full of admiration for the Doctor and had complete faith in him. She asked softly, "What about her? You're so good to her, it's incomparable to how you treat me. Don't you like her? Isn't it enough for you to have her by your side?"

"Her?" the doctor said with disdain. "She's just a more advanced substitute. I deeply regretted a few years ago that I wanted to keep your smile, and didn't treat her with the same logic I had for you before. As a result, she grew up to look completely different from you... If she weren't the original, I wouldn't be able to create more copies without her, and she would have become a discarded child long ago."

Jiang Chuyi was not surprised at all when he heard such cold and ruthless words.

The doctor she knew was just this kind of person. If he suddenly burst into tears and expressed his love and regret for his deceased original body, then she would suspect that the person in front of her had been possessed by another body.

"They all have feelings," Jiang Chuyi said. "I don't like them, including the other Jiang Chuyi. You're right, she's weak and has naive fantasies. And these things you made that look like me, I feel disgusted when I see them—maybe a little less disgusted than I feel towards you. But they're not machines, they all have feelings."

Not only did she remember her original self, she also remembered when she killed the first clone. That clone was clearly completely loyal and respectful to the Doctor, and even envied her for being favored by the Doctor.

"Yes, they do." The Doctor nodded indifferently.

Jiang Chuyi waited for a few seconds, but there was no further response.

Even if they had feelings and personalities, what did it matter? In the doctor's eyes, they were all dispensable pawns. He abandoned and killed them without even needing a reason, let alone any thoughts about their deaths.

They died together in the explosion. The Doctor had been in this world for twenty-three years, and now it seemed that he hadn't changed at all.

Jiang Chuyi had asked all the questions she wanted to ask. She stared at the doctor's face, and all the disgust from her past and present lives gathered together at this moment. She could no longer suppress her murderous intent.

She had already had some opinions about He Sizhao's desire to deal with the doctor himself, and now that the doctor came to her door himself, it was exactly what she wanted.

The doctor smiled gently again, "Xiaoyi, my dear, I sense your murderous intent. Every time I injected you with anesthetic, you looked at me with this look in your eyes. It hasn't changed at all."

"In that case, I'm relieved." He sighed and said, "I've always been worried that you were led astray by a wild man, which is why you never want to go home. Now it seems that man hasn't had time to completely brainwash you. My Xiaoyi is still my Xiaoyi, how great. Don't be afraid, baby. Daddy will soon restore you to normal after you were defiled by that wild man."

Unlike ordinary lunatics, when the doctor was crazy, there was a rational and clear light in his eyes, proving that every word he said came from his heart and he truly believed that it was right.

Jiang Chuyi didn't say anything. She stared at the doctor, all her muscles on guard.

In his previous life, the doctor used various means to make her completely unable to resist, but that included the addition of multiple elements such as drugs and machines. Now he is standing here with nothing in his hands. How can he be sure that he can still control her?

Unless... the Doctor himself is also an Awakened one.

Realizing this, Jiang Chuyi's eyes changed. He felt somewhat fortunate that it was not He Sizhao and the others he faced. They should have come up empty-handed and were on their way back.

But she didn't have time to send a message to ask now.

"The way you look at me right now is wrong." The doctor looked at her thoughtfully, "Concern? Worry? This is an unfamiliar emotion to you. You have never worried about anyone before. Are you thinking about He Sizhao now?"

Jiang Chuyi was not surprised to hear him say He Sizhao's name accurately.

Seeing her acquiescence, the doctor took a deep breath and suppressed the anger that was surging in his eyes.

His expression turned cold: "It seems that I still underestimated the influence He Sizhao has on you."

Hearing the murderous intent in his tone, Jiang Chuyi finally spoke: "I won't give you the chance to hurt him."

"What? You actually talk to me like that?" The doctor looked at her in surprise. "You're not really falling in love with him, are you? Oh my God, my innocent little darling, you've actually been influenced by another man. He fed you things you shouldn't have and kept touching your skin. Now, he's even affecting your attitude towards me! This man... is truly a heinous criminal."

Suddenly, there was a loud thunder in the sky, and a long lightning bolt tore his face into two parts: snow-white and extremely black. His slightly dilated pupils revealed a strong sense of...jealousy.

Jiang Chuyi no longer hesitated. An invisible shadow hand condensed from the air, aimed at the doctor's head, and shot it down in mid-air!

The doctor didn't even try to dodge. A white figure jumped out from nowhere, used his body as a shield, and helped the doctor block the attack.

The figure couldn't withstand Jiang Chuyi's power and spat out blood on the spot, but he still stood by the doctor, motionless.

Another replica.

Jiang Chuyi's eyes darkened: "How many of these have you made?"

The doctor did not answer. He stared at Jiang Chuyi with sadness on his face.

"You actually attacked me for a wild man." His voice was filled with extreme coldness, and it seemed that he had to use all his strength to keep his face from distorting. "...It seems that I am still too gentle. If he doesn't disappear, you will never come back with me."

Jiang Chuyi was stunned for a moment and asked loudly: "What did you do?"

The Doctor just laughed, his voice gradually getting louder as he laughed wildly in the rain.

Jiang Chuyi glared at him fiercely, and moved to leave.

"Xiaoyi baby, do you want to save your boyfriend?" The doctor said gently, "Daddy won't allow it."

The ground beneath my feet shook violently.

The heavy rain stopped, and a thin layer of blue light film spread from the surroundings to the sky and gradually closed.

Jiang Chuyi instantly had a bad premonition. She flashed and reached the roof of the hospital as fast as she could, reaching out to touch the blue light film.

Instantly, a strong electric current spread throughout her body, causing her shoulders to shudder.

If it can cause pain to someone of her physique, one can imagine what the consequences would be if an ordinary person touched it.

The doctor built a high-tech cage and tried to trap her inside.

Jiang Chuyi pursed his lips, and his shadow hand condensed at his side, hitting the blue light film heavily.

Layers of ripples spread out like waves, and the light film showed no signs of damage.

Jiang Chuyi was about to continue hitting when he suddenly heard a scream from below: "Help!"

Jiang Chuyi paused and looked down.

The earth trembled and cracked, and countless zombies crawled out from the ground. It was as if the gates of hell had been opened, and the evil spirits roared and stretched out their sharp claws towards humans.

Jiang Chuyi didn't want to pay attention to it. He took a look and was about to continue attacking the light film. However, at this time, a pleading cry came from below.

"Miss Jiang——"

"Miss Jiang! Please save us!"

"Miss Jiang! Ah——"

Jiang Chuyi's heart trembled.

She had heard all kinds of tones calling her, doting, tentative, pitying, and fearful.

But no one has ever called her so loudly, as if she is their only hope.

"Miss Jiang!"

Jiang Chuyi's eyes turned cold, she turned around and jumped down from the top floor.

If this light film is the doctor's innate ability, then kill him first, and this obstacle will naturally fall apart!

She landed lightly on the ground, her snow-white skirt fluttering in the air like a blooming snow lotus.

As soon as she landed, the situation of the battle turned around instantly.

No matter whether it was a clone or a high-level zombie, no one could match her. She cleared the field and came straight to the doctor.

Vast energy emanated from her, bringing with it a powerful impact, forming a hurricane that suddenly blew up.

All the zombies approaching the hospital were hit head-on and flew backwards, scattering in the air.

The people who were immersed in the fear of death just now stared blankly at the white figure outside, as if they saw a god in the world.

Ji Xia's face was stained with blood. He looked at Jiang Chuyi's back and almost sobbed.

Captain He made the right bet.

The doctor was still smiling. The previous impact had no effect on him. He looked at Jiang Chuyi approaching him with shining eyes.

"Baby Xiaoyi is really more beautiful up close." He said with a tone full of love and pride, "Have you come to terms with it? Isn't it best for you to come back to Daddy?"

Jiang Chuyi wrapped his shadowy hands around his neck expressionlessly.

A blue light film, the same as the one in the air, appeared on the doctor's neck, and his breathing became increasingly stuttered, and the sound became strange.

"Do you really want to kill Dad? Don't forget, the people you want to protect are still in my research institute. Aren't you really worried about what will happen to them if you kill me?"

The author has something to say:

There is a reason why the doctor talks so much, it's not just because he is a villain that he talks too much 233333
