Chapter 92 Clones: Nobody Gets Away With It
Lu Jin had to suppress his urge to kill.
Sang Li, how could they bear to hurt Sang Li?
He knew perfectly well how delicate her body was and how afraid she was of pain.
Even a tiny scratch can easily cause red eyes, and then the child looks at themselves with a pitiful expression.
Lu Jin felt a tightness in his chest.
He shouldn't have come here tonight; otherwise, the virtual memory maze wouldn't have appeared. He could have investigated properly himself; Sang Li didn't need to know about the treacherous events of the past.
Fortunately, it was Sang Li's file that I had seen.
Rather than her witnessing firsthand how she was tortured.
Sang Li's memories are not lost during the period of "disappearance"; rather, her memories are interspersed and locked away.
It's the Administration Bureau.
Sang Li had actually been living in a complete scam all along.
calm.
Lu Jin patiently continued flipping through the pages.
On the next page after the "Recommendation to Suspend the Plan" section, the layout of the document has changed.
The bold, black title reads: [Experimental Sequence B Approved for Initiation / File Encoding Switched to Project: LURE (Attractor)]
The previous sequence was A, and now we have sequence B.
In other words, they are two different kinds of experiments.
How could Sang Li's six-year-old body have endured so many experiments?
Lu Jin felt heartbroken.
This should be Sang Li's current form.
He had always thought that Sang Li was an invisible but naturally abnormal being; it seems that Sang Li was created.
【Code: BEAM-071】
[Theoretical Basis: Anomalous bodies tend to "converge" with specific magnetic field bands. The 071 magnetic field band is extremely unstable and has the potential to passively aggregate anomalous bodies.]
[Execution Summary: Through multiple rounds of experiments involving mental induction, neural stimulation, magnetic field reconfiguration, and emotional triggering, 071 was brought into an "inducible state."]
[Seventh Phase Test Results: Success. 071 exhibited a large-scale attraction effect; the approach rate of anomalies within a 5-kilometer radius increased by 400% within 24 hours.]
Absolutely correct.
This is Sang Li's ability.
Lu Jin suddenly looked up, his eyes bloodshot, his anger surging like a volcano.
Experiments with luring organisms.
By inducing magnetic field stimulation and changing the waveband, attraction at the same frequency is achieved.
It must hurt a lot.
Therefore, she is an S-class danger, and her ability is a bug-level existence.
She had no idea.
Lu Jin could conclude that, based on the Bureau's operational logic, they must have conducted many similar experiments. But in the end, only Sang Li survived. It could be a coincidence due to experimental deviations, or it could be that the Day Witch's spinal fluid ultimately proved effective, or it could simply be luck. She survived, but why was this experimental subject recaptured and placed back in the containment facility twenty years later?
What is the purpose of the Administration's actions?
[Appendix Record: 071 enters an unstable state (near death).]
[Trigger: Individual BEAM-107 (Raven) confirmed dead.]
[071 experienced a brief period of mental dissociation, resulting in a large-scale collapse of the consciousness body. The abnormal attraction effect spread out of control, causing the surrounding containment network to rupture for the third time.]
The physical signs included: rapid heartbeat, high fever of 42 degrees Celsius, and auditory and visual hallucinations.
[Treatment: Administered sedative fluid No. 5, isolated for 8 hours, condition recovered.]
Lu Jin was very familiar with the sedative liquid No. 5.
In extremely dangerous situations, the toxic agents derived from Agent 5 can cause abnormal individuals to stop vital signs through methods such as cardiac paralysis.
It is a very strong sedative, and it has strong side effects.
The initial symptoms are pain, and symptoms such as generalized convulsions may appear 48 hours after injection. The mortality rate is approximately 23%.
Six-year-old Sang Li...
Lu Jin took a deep breath.
[Appendix Note: The dependence of 071 on 107 exceeds the normal emotional response of humans; it is recommended that it be included in the [Resonance Body] observation catalog.]
Lu Jin stared at the words "107 individuals confirmed dead" and recalled everything he had just seen.
Did Sang Li collapse because of Chi Du's death? And then she was saved again.
The relationship between Chi Du and Sang Li had begun long before he got involved. But Lu Jin didn't feel powerless; it wasn't male possessiveness. He just suddenly felt pity—pity for Sang Li, and pity for Chi Du. This wasn't competition between men for their loved ones; it was a kind of compassion for life.
So, how did Chi Du revive?
The Witch of Daylight's power of immortality?
No, Experiment A clearly failed.
Lu Jin's throat tightened.
Finally, Appendix 2 of BEAM-071.
Appendix 2
Given BEAM-071's stable and strong attraction to anomalous organisms, it is not suitable for prolonged isolation in the short term.
[It is recommended that 071 be returned to human society, her experimental identity concealed, and that she live as an "ordinary individual."]
The reasons are as follows:
[A: In human society, emotional stimuli and information flows are more likely to trigger abnormal resonance.]
[B: Real-world interaction will further verify the stability and diffusion of its induced field in complex environments.]
[C: "Normal life" can effectively slow down the rate of his mental breakdown.]
The experimental observation will be conducted through "daily monitoring," "task guidance," and "high-intensity emotional feedback events."
This is why Sang Li began a normal school life.
At this moment, Lu Jin felt as if he had been scorched by fire, his palms clenched so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh.
“Normal life,” he gritted his teeth and almost growled as he uttered the three words.
Her so-called "life," the freedom she had fought so hard for, was just another observation cell.
These are the days that Sang Li misses dearly.
She lived in a human city, but the surveillance cameras never left her.
She still thinks she's a human being?
She never was.
If Sang Li knew all this, she would definitely cry again.
Light streamed down from above the filing cabinet, falling on the page of the document, on the number BEAM-071.
The string of numbers was like a burning brand, each word making it almost impossible for Lu Jin to breathe.
He silently closed the file, his fingertips now cold.
"What did you see?" Sang Li walked over. "You don't look well."
Looking at her face, Lu Jin suddenly felt a strong urge to hug her.
However, she felt that at this moment, this action was a bit too late for her.
After all, she didn't remember what had happened before.
"I'll talk to you outside," Lu Jin tried to change the subject. "What did you find out?"
“Yes, Chi Du’s ability was teleportation, but he’s dead. The experiment failed,” Sang Li said. “But we all know he can’t die, since we’ve seen him recently. However, the files here shouldn’t lie, right? Let’s go, we should check out other places.”
Sang Li turned the doorknob.
"etc."
But the door was already open.
Lu Jin chased after her, just as he was about to grab Sang Li's wrist.
*Smack*
I suddenly felt a sharp pain between my fingers.
It looks like something broke.
Rose petals slipped through his fingers.
It's not Sang Li.
What about Sang Li?
Lu Jin looked again, but there was nothing in the darkness.
The image of Sang Li just now was fake; it was an image made up of roses.
Lu Jin cursed and turned to look for it, but the archives room had been turned into a wall.
Seriously, I should tie myself completely to Sang Liche.
They broke up again.
Lu Jin frowned, turned on the location tracking, and it showed that Sang Li was right in front of him. He could find Sang Li as long as he went through this corridor.
Fortunately, he had a backup plan.
That way, Sang Li won't call me "useless" later.
Squeak.
Squeak.
Something was making a sound in the darkness.
Like rusted gears turning slowly, like a colossal creature breaking free from its restraints.
This is directed at me.
Lu Jin held his breath and slowed his pace.
It's dangerous.
He is in danger, and so is Sang Li.
The locator's light spot flickered on the black screen, getting closer and closer to "Sang Li".
Glug glug...
Lu Jin's heart tightened.
The lights suddenly turned on.
Rows of cold white fluorescent lights stretched out from overhead, like scalpels, dissecting the darkness cleanly.
It's very bright.
What came into view was a huge underground warehouse.
The warehouse has an extremely high ceiling, with heavy pipes and cables hanging from metal beams. It is surrounded by a temperature control system and alarm devices, and in the center of the warehouse...
Grass.
Twenty or thirty giant culture dishes were neatly arranged, like rows of silent coffins.
Each petri dish is over a meter tall and is entirely encased in special glass and metal. The liquid inside has a faint bluish-green fluorescence, and bubbles keep rising along the walls of the dish.
It was all people.
Lu Jin approached step by step, but his heartbeat grew heavier and heavier.
He could see the figures submerged in the liquid.
It was him.
There are twenty or thirty "Lu Jin"!
Each one had its eyes closed, its body naked and pale, with thick tubes connecting its back to its spine, its chest rising and falling slowly, as if it were asleep. Their faces were almost identical, differing only in subtle details. Some were younger, some had scars on their foreheads, and some had horribly sunken eyes.
They are different experimental subjects.
but,
It's all about myself.
This is actually... myself!
It was as if he had stepped into a nightmare.
That's impossible!
Lu Jin's throat tightened, but his brain quickly searched for possibilities.
Multiple personality disorder replication?
Memory implantation?
A full-screen backup?
still……
clone.
He looked down and suddenly noticed a nameplate on the petri dish.
Am I also a clone?
[Current ID: CLONE 17-49.]
[Status: Standby / Frozen and Activated]
Just then, footsteps came from the doorway.
"The data from Zone C has just come back; BEAM-071 shows mild brainwave activity." It was the voice of a young researcher.
“Keep observing. She has reached her limit, and the next phase must be initiated.” Another calm and indifferent voice drifted in from afar, “If BEAM-071 can generate resonance from her own emotional collapse, then we’ll have a lot of fun.”
It refers to Sang Li.
Lu Jin quickly hid, moving extremely lightly, and concealed himself in the shadows behind the petri dish, his back pressed against the cold metal shell, cold sweat sliding down his spine.
He heard the researchers approaching, their footsteps mingling with the ticking of instruments.
"By the way, what did Dr. Olga say?"
"The experiments on clones must continue."
The footsteps paused briefly, followed by a soft laugh.
"Theoretically, that 'S-9 enhancement solution' should be able to successfully transform these bodies into 'energy storage bodies.' You should keep an eye on the test results."
"But this clone is a human, isn't it?"
"So what? This is our Super Soldier program. Like a battery, it can not only store energy but also release it when necessary. It's like a living super reactor. Even if the main body's energy is insufficient, as long as there is a qualified container, it can take over all the output."
“Moreover,” he paused, his tone tinged with obvious excitement, “we have finally stabilized the problem of energy leakage. This generation of clones can not only withstand it, but can even overload it.”
Super Soldier?
Lu Jin looked at his wrist.
He was created, a warrior?
What about memory?
Is it also fake?
