"How could it be?" Lin Huanhuan showed a puzzled expression on her face. She glanced at Xu Qianxing who was just as confused as she was. "He has been following me and Keke. How could he be here just now, and, and..."
"That's right," Xu Qianxing scratched his head, "I just feel too hungry. Maybe I can find something to eat if I go out early."
"Then, how do you prove that you are Xu Qianxing and not something else?" Qin Dai still didn't believe it. "What we all saw just now, it's impossible that I am the only one who is hallucinating, right?"
"This..." Xu Qianxing was at a loss. Asking him to prove that he was himself? How could he prove it?
"Since you said I'm dead, then where's my body?" Xu Qianxing clapped his hands and looked around. "There's no body here at all."
Fang Qian was also skeptical of Xu Qianxing. She observed him carefully and replied, "The corpse turned into a bug and then disappeared."
"Bugs, disappear?" Xu Qianxing blinked, then clapped his hands, as if he had found a breakthrough: "Then it's not me! I'm a human, how can I turn into a bug?"
Despite what he said, the others remained silent. After all, what they saw before their eyes was more shocking, and it was difficult to have any trust in this man who came back from the dead.
"..." Seeing that no one was talking, Xu Qianxing's emotions gradually fluctuated, "Okay, okay, since you don't believe me, then I'll go by myself. Anyway, I've found food and drinks, and we don't have to go the same way!"
He turned around and kicked the office chair, kicking it a long way away, then walked out.
"Xu Qianxing!" Lin Huanhuan wanted to chase him, but a flower umbrella appeared in front of her.
Yu Qirong shook his head.
"He's fake." Su Tang said, pointing to the office chair that Xu Qianxing had kicked far away. "Remember yesterday he couldn't push this thing even with all his strength?"
Lin Huanhuan's face turned pale instantly. She obviously remembered what happened yesterday. She was suddenly afraid that she had been traveling with an unknown person for such a long time. But, why did this suddenly appear...
"Do you still remember the name of this copy?" Yu Qirong asked.
Clone Factory.
Who was cloned?
"We previously only considered the parasitic problem and what the mission told us, and ignored the information brought by the copy's name itself." The professor closed his eyes and announced the news regretfully: "It seems that from now on, everyone can only trust themselves."
Although the road ahead was confusing, they still had to fill their stomachs, so Lin Huanhuan led them to the place they had discovered.
There are two faucets installed on the wall, with a piece of paper with red words on a white background pasted on it, which says concisely: "Feeding area". Some bowls and spoons are also placed next to it.
Lin Huanhuan first turned on the faucet on the right, and clear water came out. She turned it off and then turned on the faucet on the left. A few "puff" sounds came out, and then a lump of minced meat-like substance came out.
The expressions of the others were not very happy. This form of food reminded them of the rat meat that was eaten raw by Xu Qianxing.
"Can I eat it?" Qin Dai was closest to Xu Qianxing at the time, and the visual effect he saw was the most impactful. Every glance at it now would bring back his memories. He couldn't help but cover his mouth and move away, for fear that he would vomit bile.
"We have no other choice if we can't eat it." After a moment of silence, the professor turned his wheelchair and walked to the side. He picked up a bowl, washed it under the faucet on the right, and then took a bowl of minced meat from the left.
Everyone held their breath and watched the professor take the first bite, then waited for a moment to make sure nothing unusual had happened to the professor.
"It tastes good." The professor looked up and smiled at everyone.
Fang Qian gritted her teeth and became the second person to receive the food.
The professor was right. Now they had reached the end of their rope and had no choice but to eat this.
Two people had already eaten the food here, and the others no longer resisted and picked up the bowls one after another to receive the food.
Yu Qirong picked up the minced meat in the bowl with a spoon. The hunger in his stomach made him want to eat it impatiently.
There should be no problem with the food in the restaurant, but the psychological aspect is a bit difficult.
The feeding method here is not the usual one, but a device similar to dropping feed.
Aren't they the mothers being raised? Maybe it's really prepared for them.
"Don't want to eat? I have other food here. If you want to eat, let's sneak away when they aren't paying attention." Su Tang saw that Yu Qirong was holding a spoon but was reluctant to take a bite, so he leaned close and whispered in his ear.
Yu Qirong immediately took a bite, then looked up at Su Tang's reaction, "How do you prove that you are Su Tang?"
"Do you doubt me again?" Su Tang showed a very sad expression, "I have already explained my illness. Even if you test me with the past, I still don't know."
The more and more vivid the facial expressions of the man next to her, the more unusual Yu Qirong felt he was.
Seeing that Yu Qirong still didn't believe it, Su Tang had no choice but to say, "How about this, next time we meet Xu Qianxing, we'll keep him... There must be a difference between a clone and the real person. I can guarantee that I'm definitely not a clone."
"...Hmm." Yu Qirong made a sound, indicating that he temporarily agreed with this plan.
In the end, everyone except Qin Dai ate the minced meat.
He simply couldn't get over the hurdle in his mind and felt nauseous, so he just took some water and drank a whole stomach of water to increase his sense of fullness.
"Since there is food and drinks here, why don't we rest here for a night." The professor looked at the time and it was already very late.
No one else had any objections. There was another meal tomorrow morning, and they had to finish it here.
"But we have to be on duty." Qin Dai said meaningfully: "We are still not sure where Chen Bao and Bai Shi are. What if they come to steal again in the middle of the night... and Xu Qianxing, and that mutant rat."
"Then we'll take turns to rest." Yu Qirong continued, but saw that Qin Dai's shoulders trembled slightly when he heard him talking, as if he was very afraid of him.
So Yu Qirong paused for a few seconds and continued, "There are seven people left. Let's divide them into groups, so that everyone can get more rest time."
"No!" Qin Dai objected. Seeing Yu Qirong looking at him, he shrank back in fear and timidly expressed his thoughts: "We need at least two people. Otherwise, if a situation like Xu Qianxing happens again..."
"Then we'll split it two-two-three," Yu Qirong blinked, seeing Qin Dai's resistance clearly, "Su Tang and I, the professor and Fang Qian, and you and Lin Huanhuan and Liu Ke, how about that?"
“……” Qin Dai swallowed and nodded.
In the first half of the night, Yu Qirong and Su Tang were on guard.
The darkness was like a flowing monster, quietly swallowing up all the light, leaving only a small light.
The breathing of the others gradually calmed down. For humans who had been hungry for a whole day, the best way to recover was through sleep.
Unable to sleep, Yu Qirong pushed the small lamp in front of him, hooked his finger at Su Tang who was sitting opposite him, and asked in a low voice: "Do you want to know what happened in the world ahead?"
His voice was light and smiling, so alluring that he himself didn't even realize it.
Su Tang's eyes lit up, but after a moment they fell silent again for some reason. He shook his head and said, "I don't want to."
"?" Yu Qirong raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Su Tang to give this answer. After all, he had always been curious about what he had given before.
"I just want to know what you gave to them but not to me." Su Tang said.
"But aren't you alone?" Yu Qirong narrowed his eyes and spoke casually, as if he was just talking casually, "I sent them off, and I also sent you off."
"..." Su Tang knew that he was doubting that he was not real again. He paused for a few seconds and continued, "But it's different for me. I also hope that I am different from them. I hope that you can love me more."
This was almost a confession. Yu Qirong was stunned. She had never seen Su Tang be so straightforward.
In his heart, both Su Tang and A Fei seemed to be more restrained and reserved, and would not show such things on the surface.
"I don't love anyone." Yu Qirong pursed her lips and replied, "You misunderstood. I just...just admire them."
When he first started pursuing Tang Xingfei, he had pursued her fervently, but unfortunately he didn't get the response he deserved. Later on, he became very stingy in giving her back, taking it step by step, first testing her with love letters, and if the test failed, he would back off again.
"You don't like them?" Hearing Yu Qirong's rebuttal, Su Tang's face showed a bit of happiness, and his eyebrows, which were always tightly pressed, were raised a little bit, which was completely different from the Su Tang in Yu Qirong's memory. He was a little too proud of himself, "In this case, why not try with me? I am definitely better than them."
"Really?" Yu Qirong curled the corners of his mouth with a smile, and his pair of bewitching red eyes swept across Su Tang's face. He didn't say whether he agreed or not, but just tapped the table lightly with his hand.
Su Tang wanted to say something else, but he saw Yu Qirong no longer paying attention to him. He took out a book and lowered his head to read.
In the middle of the night, it was Fang Qian and the professor.
Fang Qian specially set a vibration mode so that she would be woken up at the appointed time, and then she got up and called Yu Qirong and Su Tang to go to sleep.
Yu Qirong did not refuse. He put away the textbook in his hand, took off his clothes to cover himself, and leaned back in the office chair to sleep.
In the second half of the night, Fang Qian woke Qin Dai up. Qin Dai rubbed his eyes and signaled that Lin Huanhuan and Liu Ke could just call them themselves.
So Fang Qian and the professor also went to sleep.
After making sure that everyone was asleep, Qin Dai pushed Lin Huanhuan's shoulder and whispered, "Lin Huanhuan, Lin Huanhuan?"
Lin Huanhuan mumbled in her sleep and turned over to wake up. She still remembered that she had to keep watch on this matter for the rest of the night. She fumbled to push Liu Ke away, but someone suddenly grabbed her arm.
She was so scared that she almost jumped up, but Qin Dai covered her mouth and whispered in her ear: "Don't make a sound, I have something to tell you. I suspect Rong Qi and Su Tang are not human!"
