Chapter 112-111- Sisters
"Yvette, are you unhappy?" Hearing the sarcasm in Zero's tone, Liana looked over with some confusion.
Zero said with a smile, "Liana, I've told you many times that you are too naive, too kind, and too easy to trust the world. This world is much dirtier than you can imagine."
"Head transplants, living cloning, biological brain transplants, illusion techniques... There are so many ways to change one's appearance in this world. How can you expect to gain trust just by relying on your face? How can that be possible?"
"And the ability this guy uses should also come from 'Divine Transmutation' or something similar, right? Doesn't this prove that she is definitely related to the company? Even if she is an escaped experimental subject like us, doesn't that mean she won't pose a threat to us?"
Liana was stunned for a moment, thinking that this made a lot of sense. The look she gave Yvette immediately changed, and she was no longer as trusting as before.
Just then, the sound of metal stepping on the ground was heard. The three of them looked towards the alley at the same time. An industrial-style, rusty mechanical puppet walked in, holding an umbrella in one hand and two hot meals in the other. They looked like some kind of pasta.
Its face is an electronic screen, composed of a stick figure emoji. After discovering that it was being stared at by three people, the smiling face on its screen turned into a timid look, saying: "Uh, isn't it time for me to come back?"
"No, it's just time. Lunch is here, Liana, let's eat first." Zero clapped his hands and said with a smile.
Liana looked at her in confusion, thinking that the matter had not been resolved yet, why did it suddenly become time for dinner? Is it such a leisurely time now?
But the safety of daily operations and various cautious plans are all handled by Zero. Since she said that she can eat now, then she must be able to eat. In this regard, Liana is very confident in her.
So Liana looked at Yvette again and said, "Sister...can I call you that first?"
After Yvette agreed, she invited him, "Why don't you come in and sit for a while? You're also a test subject, maybe we can exchange some information."
"Okay," Yvette said.
The mechanical puppet beside it was clearly still a bit confused, a question mark appearing on the electronic screen: "Yvette, Liana, what's going on? Who is this silver-haired lady? Can't someone introduce her to me?"
But seeing that the three people ignored it and went into the house, it could only make a pitiful crying expression and follow them silently.
Inside the room, after taking a small wooden stool and sitting down, Liana explained the situation to the mechanical puppet beside her, and then said to Yvette: "It is Firefly, our companion."
Is this the Abyss Base's main control computer? Sure enough, it escaped with Zero and One. No, perhaps it was the mastermind behind their escape plan...
Yvette held out her hand and said, "Hello."
Yinghuo shook her hand and asked curiously, "Are you Yvette's sister? How can you look so similar?"
"What do you think the probability is that I'm a clone?" Yvette asked.
"Absolutely impossible," Yinghuo said immediately. "With current human technology, even companies like Black Tower Pharmaceuticals and Lin Tui Biology, which specialize in biotechnology, can't make clones grow that much faster than ordinary people. Even if they started cultivating them the day they escaped and added some catalytic methods, it wouldn't be enough."
"That's great." Liana was relieved, and her expression when she looked at Yvette became even more relieved. "It really is my sister."
Yinghuo glanced at her and added, "But if it's just a change of appearance, it will be much easier, whether it's plastic surgery or disguise..."
"Firefly, you are the main control computer of the Abyss Base, right?" Yvette suddenly said.
"You...how did you know?!" Yinghuo's face showed a shocked expression, which looked a little cute. It shrank back in fear and asked tentatively, "You are not from Black Tower Pharmaceuticals, are you?"
"No, what I mean is that you can check the public surveillance information of the Blackwater District in Ish City. You should be able to see me in the second half of 2124. Most of the time I lived in Room 1809 on the 18th floor of the Wright Apartments on Acid Street." Yvette said.
This was her strongest and most powerful evidence, because at that time, the original owner was only four years old and was still an unlucky little kid in an orphanage who was diagnosed with a genetic disease. He had not participated in the metamorphosis plan, and nothing would have happened later.
As long as she can prove that she already existed at that time and her appearance has not changed, she can perfectly prove herself.
As for why she doesn't look old... runes, secret medicine, beauty care, or just being born young, there are many possibilities and it's not a big deal at all.
"You... wait a minute! Let me plug in the network cable! There's no wireless network here!" Yinghuo became nervous. "This is very troublesome. I need some time-"
After the puppet hurried into a nearby room, the room quieted down for a moment. Liana began to eat her noodles, but after two or three bites, she realized that this seemed impolite. She walked over to Yvette with her bowl and asked cautiously, "Want to... eat together? I'll give you half."
The food that Firefly bought was macaroni. Yvette didn't like it and was about to refuse it when she suddenly felt a cold gaze. She turned her head and found that Zero was staring at her with a smile, but there was a very clear murderous intent in his eyes, which looked very creepy.
"Thank you." Yvette calmly withdrew her gaze and took the macaroni that Liana gave her with a smile.
Faced with such obvious provocation, Zero did react. She suddenly walked over, snatched Yvette's macaroni, and stuffed her own macaroni into Yvette's hands.
Looking at the macaroni that Zero had taken a few bites of, Yvette fell silent. She heard Zero say to Liana with a smile, "She's my sister, so of course she should have my share."
Didn't you just think I was your sister? Yvette thought.
Liana looked at her in surprise, then said, "Okay... then shall we split it?"
"Yeah, let's split it."
Watching the two little girls sit at the table and start to share the same portion of macaroni, Yvette looked down at the food in her hand, which she had no interest in, and sighed in her heart.
Forget it, let’s eat first.
…
Half an hour later, after cleaning up the trash, Yvette saw Yinghuo coming out of the next room. She confirmed with Zero and Liana, "She's right. Six years ago, she was already like this. The probability that she is your sister, Yvette, is over 95.27%!"
"Great!" Liana said happily. Zero didn't insist on denying it anymore. He just glanced at Yvette and said with a smile again, "Really? That's it."
"Sister, you came all the way to Rusty Bone. Did you come all the way here just to find Yvette?" Liana asked curiously. "And what about your abilities? Are they the same as ours?"
"In addition to the 'Divine Transmutation' of Black Tower Pharmaceuticals, the Lin Tui creatures also have something similar called 'Erosion Seed'. I acquired this ability in the laboratory over there." Yvette brought out the prepared speech. Anyway, she had already provoked the Lin Tui creatures, so she could use the Lin Tui creatures to take the blame for her without any pressure.
She continued, "...I'm a professional mercenary. I came here to combat the human trafficking organization here and uncover the mastermind behind it. I stumbled upon your tracks during the process, and that's why I came here."
"Professional mercenaries?" Liana said in surprise. "Sister, aren't you afraid of being caught by a big company? We have to hide from them!"
Of course, that's because I'd disappear from the face of the earth, leaving no trace for the unicorn-like creatures to find... Yvette said, "Yes...it would be very troublesome, so sometimes I'd get into danger."
Liana showed an expression of sympathy. Perhaps she was able to resonate with her sister through her own experience.
Suddenly, Firefly asked in its neutral synthesized voice, "Sister, are you the 'Nameless'?"
Yvette nodded slightly: "Yeah."
Seeing Liana's puzzled look, Firefly explained, "Recently, the biggest news in the New Eden United States is the destruction of the human trafficking industrial complex here by the well-known mercenary 'Nameless'. One of the industrial complexes is where you and Yvette temporarily stayed, and where Yvette later massacred them."
"If there's no misunderstanding, the only conclusion is that Sister Yvette is the famous mysterious mercenary 'Nameless', and her gender also matches the various rumors."
"How amazing..." Liana exclaimed in amazement, thinking that they were all experimental subjects hunted by big companies, so how could her sister live so handsomely and freely?
However, Number Zero next to him had the same smile on his face as before, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Then, at Liana's strong request, and in order to deepen the trust between the two parties, Yvette briefly recounted the process of destroying the two human traffickers' industrial parks.
By the time the chat came to an end, the rain outside had stopped long ago. The sunset glowed on the clouds, casting a dim twilight over the sky and earth.
"It's getting late, so I'll take my leave now." Yvette looked at the sky, stood up and said, "Also, I've rented a villa in the city center of Fosjiang. I'll send you the address later... I live alone there, so if you want to move in, I'd always welcome you."
She just said it casually. Judging from Zero's attitude, he probably wouldn't be willing to move in with her.
After all, trust cannot be established in one go. Even relatives can become enemies, and sisterly relationships are just a stepping stone.
I've learned quite a bit today, too. I've learned that Number One's abilities are surprisingly similar to hers... On the other hand, Number Zero's abilities are still unclear. Firefly had mentioned that the second industrial park was slaughtered by Number Zero. Could it be that the person who mastered the ability to create aberrations was actually Number Zero?
This doesn't seem to align with her situation...
