Card Room - 289. Chapter 413-414

【Chapter 413, Mysterious Assassin】

If, as the two speculated, your Majesty copied many Xiaolou buildings back then, how many copies are there in the palace?

The Xiao Lou that Yu Hanjiang saw next to His Majesty that day seemed very obedient and obedient, and his eyes were a bit dull, so Yu Hanjiang recognized him as Xiao Lou at a glance; however, Xiao Lou, who was attending the birthday party tonight, was calm and polite, he His words, deeds, demeanor, and demeanor really resemble a noble prince. Are they not the same person?

Xiao Lou noticed Yu Hanjiang’s thoughts, and said, “The appearance and voice of the duplicator will not be different, but the eyes and temperament are all acquired, and it is impossible to be exactly the same. Therefore, the Xiao Lou you saw that day It is very likely that they are two people with Xiao Lou who I saw tonight.”

Yu Hanjiang frowned: “In other words, plus you, there are already three Xiaolou in the palace?”

Xiao Lou was also very puzzled. His Majesty was worried that he would experience the “pain of losing a child” again, and copy many Xiao Lou with the same genes, which is logically understandable. However, the relationship between father and son needs to be cultivated. Only the prince who is raised by his side can have affection with his majesty.

If the successfully replicated cells are directly placed in a petri dish until they reach adulthood, such a person will not be close to His Majesty and do not understand all kinds of theoretical knowledge. Isn’t it dangerous to inherit the throne?

But if you keep all the clones by your side, wouldn’t it be a mess if there are too many?

After thinking carefully, Xiao Lou came up with an inference: “Suppose there are three Xiao Lou in the palace. I have lived in the twin womb since I was a child. It is the’prince’ who was placed on the surface by your majesty; the second one is the one you saw that day. The very obedient and obedient Xiao Lou can be pushed out to block the gun at any time in an emergency; the third one is the true prince hidden by your majesty?”

Yu Hanjiang said: “In other words, your majesty is willing to invite the true prince out on important occasions such as engagement banquets and birthday banquets. But if your majesty is self-defeating, will the true prince be killed?”

Xiao Lou said, “Then let me use fakes?”

In Xiao Lou’s memory, he received a good education since he was a child. His Majesty personally selected teachers for him. The courses he studied included astronomy and geography, history and politics, economics and trade, military command, mecha control, etc., covering all aspects, for inheritance The throne laid a solid foundation.

If you just raise a clone, there is no need to spend money like this.

Yu Hanjiang agreed: “Your Majesty has spent so much effort on you, and has always made you think that you are the true prince, just to prevent the prince being killed one day, you can replace the prince at any time? Of course, if you are killed, he will train you separately. The prince is also very good.”

Xiao Lou nodded: “This is double insurance. Your Majesty makes me think that I am the prince, and let the other Xiao Lou think that he is the prince. We all feel that we are real. We don’t need to pretend or want to betray your Majesty. One has an accident, and there is another. Anyway, to your majesty, we are all his offspring because we have the same genes?”

Which one is the real prince?

In other words, the three Xiaolou in the palace are actually copied? How does your Majesty distinguish it?

Xiao Lou’s thoughts became more chaotic, and his head began to ache sharply, as if there was some dusty memory about to break out of the ground, but it was blocked by a layer of power grid. Yu Hanjiang lightly shook his hand: “Don’t force yourself if you don’t remember. Let’s wait and see the results of Shao Zong and Teacher Qu’s investigation.”

Xiao Lou paused to remember, and took a deep breath to ease the sharp pain in his mind. He looked at Yu Hanjiang and said, “There is another question, I don’t understand.”

Yu Hanjiang said: “Is it about the guard at the gate of the Gemini?”

Xiao Lou nodded and said doubtfully: “Ms. Qu saw someone sneak into the Gemini at the time, but just now, when you returned to the Gemini, the two guards said firmly,’No one entered.’ Obviously, they I was stunned and didn’t know what happened. The two guards didn’t know, thinking I had never left Gemini, how did your Majesty know someone went to Gemini to assassinate me?”

Knowing that Xiao Lou is not in Gemini, except for his teammates…there are only invisible people who have sneaked into Gemini.

Thinking of this, Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou looked at each other, and Xiao Lou lowered his voice: “Your Majesty sent someone to kill me without so much trouble. He could just kill me directly. Moreover, he spent so much effort on me. , There is no reason to suddenly get rid of me.”

Yu Hanjiang said: “There is another possibility. He has placed surveillance in the uterus?”

Having said that, Yu Hanjiang suddenly raised his hand.

There is a delicate silver-white ring on his thumb, which was given to him by His Majesty that day, and said it was a spiritual fragment that activated the S-class smart mecha lingfox. Seeing this ring, Xiao Lou asked softly: “Linghu? Does this S-class smart mecha have the ability to monitor the entire Gemini?”

Yu Hanjiang said: “Try it.”

He gently pressed the knob on the ring and exhaled the intelligent robot Linghu.

The next moment, I saw a boy looking like a robot coming to the two of them, and a big silver-white tail suddenly appeared behind them. The tail rose to the sky and was more than three meters high. Fortunately, the floor height of the Gemini living room is more than three meters, otherwise, the tail of the spirit fox will definitely pierce the roof.

After the tail rises, it splits into two halves instantly, one on the left and the other on the right, forming the sharp wings of the smart mecha. The boy’s body also began to deform quickly. In a blink of an eye, a five-meter-long and three-meter-wide fighter armor appeared in front of the two of them.

The whole body of the mecha is covered with silver-white high-tech synthetic metal, shiny and smooth, the fuselage has smooth lines, and the two eyes of the head shoot out dazzling white light. A crisp juvenile voice sounded in the ear: “Master, the Linghu intelligent body has been activated.”

The smart mecha that can transform instantly has opened the eyes of Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang.

Xiao Lou walked forward, touched the beautiful metal wings of the mecha, and asked softly, “Linghu, are you monitoring the Gemini?”

Linghu said honestly: “Yes, master. The entire Gemini has an electronic defense network and invisible surveillance cameras that I set up to ensure the owner’s safety at any time.”

When Yu Hanjiang heard this, he immediately said: “Call out the video from 9 to 10 tonight.”

An LCD screen appeared in front of Linghu, which was a 360-degree monitoring of the entire Gemini, without any blind spots. The two saw that at around 9:10 tonight, someone at the door had brought down the guard, the door was opened, and the dark figure flashed into the Gemini, all the way to Xiaolou’s bedroom, opened the door, found no one, and jumped The window escaped.

The whole process was recorded, but it was a pity that only the shadow of the assassin was captured in the screen. Judging by the shadow, this person should be a male with a height of more than 180cm. Why is the other party invisible? Did you bring an invisible card?

Xiao Lou looked at the surveillance thoughtfully. The two guards at the door woke up at about 9:30. The two looked at each other: “Why did you fall asleep?” “I don’t know…” They looked back. The door of Gemini was closed tightly. It seemed that there was nothing abnormal. The two were worried about being held accountable, so when Yu Hanjiang questioned, he insisted that nothing happened.

Yu Hanjiang asked in a low voice: “Linghu, your majesty asked you to transmit the monitoring data to him?”

Linghu said: “Yes, your majesty can also control me remotely.”

Xiao Lou knew clearly: “It seems that he knows that someone has sneaked into the Gemini, because he can let the spirit fox monitor the movement of the Gemini at any time, then…” Thinking of the affection between Yu Hanjiang and Yu Hanjiang in the bed the night before, Xiao Lou’s ears were slightly Yihong looked at Linghu: “Did you send the video from the night before to your majesty?”

Linghu’s voice was dazed: “The night before yesterday, I was in a dormant state and nothing was recorded.”

Yu Hanjiang raised his eyebrows: “The dormant state does not record video? What if someone breaks into the uterus while you are asleep?”

Linghu explained: “Once an outsider approaches the Gemini, my infrared detector will automatically sense it and immediately turn on the hidden surveillance network to pay attention to the other party’s movements. If someone is unfavorable to His Royal Highness, I will immediately sound an alarm.”

Yu Hanjiang knew it, and looked at Xiao Loudao: “Like the driving recorder, the recorder will automatically start recording when someone passes by the vehicle. However, Linghu is much more advanced than that.”

Xiao Lou said: “After all, it is an S-class smart mecha, and it will deform. Maybe it can take us to interstellar flight?”

Linghu was at a loss: “Master, what are you talking about?”

“It’s nothing, go to sleep.” Yu Hanjiang pressed the ring, and the mecha in front of him quickly changed back to the appearance of an ordinary intelligent robot, obediently backing away.

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou are preparing to take a bath and rest.

Xiao Lou asked Yu Hanjiang to wash first. Yu Hanjiang went into the bathroom and turned on the shower. Xiao Lou turned and sat on the sofa. Just about to turn his brain on to read the news, he suddenly noticed a cold wind blowing behind him. Xiao Lou turned his head alertly. The cold hand squeezed his neck neatly, and a low voice sounded in his ear: “Don’t move.”

A gun was placed on his back, and Xiao Lou’s back became slightly stiff.

He told Yu Hanjiang about his current situation through his heart and soul: “There was a sneak attack, I can’t see him. There is no image of him in the mirror, it should be invisible.”

In the bathroom, Yu Hanjiang opened the shower very wide, pretending to be taking a shower, but in fact he quickly got dressed, hid behind the door, and asked Xiao Lou with a heart and soul: “Is that the assassin? Did he stay in the twin womb all the time? Didn’t run away?”

Regardless of Qu Wanyue’s or Linghu’s monitoring, all he saw was that the window was opened, and a dark figure came out from the window…

Did not see anyone going out.

This person has been hiding in Xiaolou’s bedroom?

【Chapter 414, Repair】

At the same time, Shao Qingge and Ye Qi came to his residence with Lu Jiuchuan’s car.

Lu Jiuchuan has been worried about Tang Ci’s leg injury. Today, I just met Shao and Ye, and everyone had time. Therefore, Lu Jiuchuan privately told Shao Qingge to heal Tang Ci’s leg tonight. Shao Qingge readily agreed. .

After arriving at the villa, Lu Jiuchuan locked the door and hugged Tang Ci on the sofa.

Shao Qingge said: “Xiao Ye, use your card. Mr. Tang, let me take a look at your leg.”

Tang Ci calmly rolled up his trouser legs, his knees were empty, and his legs seemed to have been cut off by some sharp weapon. It made people worried when they looked at it. It is hard to imagine how this person persisted. .

Shao Qingge patted Ye Qi’s shoulder lightly: “Get ready, let the bug repair the broken limb.” He said softly, “Mr. Tang, you have lost a lot of limbs, and it will take about half an hour to grow back. Although there is no pain during the treatment of the Zerg, the screen may look…may be a little nauseous.”

Ye Qi said, “Yes, you two should close your eyes.”

“Isn’t it a bug?” Lu Jiuchuan sat next to him, gently resting on Tang Ci’s shoulder, jokingly: “Xiao Tang, close your eyes, otherwise I’m afraid you can’t stand the stimulation.”

Tang Ci ignored Lu Jiuchuan’s joke, and looked at his severed limb without mind, and said, “It’s okay, come on.”

Ye Qi said, “Should we start now?”

Tang Ci nodded: “Yeah.”

Ye Qi took out the insect king card and turned into the insect king. Tang Ci found that Xiaoye’s eyes suddenly became blood red, which was quite cool.

Then, Xiaoye gently touched Tang Ci’s severed limb with his fingers, and many insects crawled out along Ye Qi’s fingertips and gently clung to Tang Ci’s severed leg. Lu Jiuchuan’s scalp was numb by the nausea of this picture, but Tang Ci, his expression was very calm, and he commented faintly: “You bugs are very cute.”

Three people: “…”

cute?

Lu Jiuchuan helplessly lifted his forehead: “Forgetting that he likes bugs, he also made a bunch of mechanical ants.”

Shao Qingge chuckled and touched his nose: “Mr. Tang’s preferences are indeed special.”

Ye Qi’s expression is serious, he must concentrate on treatment.

Every time the insect king card treats wounds, it consumes the reserved Zerg. The cost of ordinary wounds ranges from 1% to 10%. However, Tang Ci has almost lost half of his leg. To be completely repaired, this insect king card’s reserved Zerg needs to be consumed. About 50% off. The strength of the worm king card is directly proportional to the number of stored zerg. In the next 24 hours, the strength of this card will also be halved.

Fortunately, Shao Qingge also has a worm king card. Moreover, the transformation of the insect king only lasts for 24 hours, and they are not necessarily in danger during these 24 hours. Even if Yeqi’s card only cures Tang Ci, it is also a bargain. Because the S-level secret room data will not be cleared, as long as it is cured now, after leaving the secret room, Tang Ci’s legs are still healthy!

Tang Ci’s broken leg, thanks to the efforts of the insects, actually began to slowly grow new flesh and blood…

The newborn flesh is very tender, and the skin of the calf is almost transparent under the light.

This scene was very magical. Lu Jiuchuan watched for a while, and suddenly some pictures flashed in his mind, and a headache came. Lu Jiuchuan hugged his head hard and his voice was hoarse: “Zerg… By the way, Zerg…”

Shao Qingge looked back at him: “What did you think of?”

The Zerg Secret Room is the 8 of Spades Secret Room that Xiaolou’s team cleared. At that time, Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci had not joined the team, and they had not experienced the Zerg dungeon. This is the first time Lu Jiuchuan has seen a scene of insects treating a wound. What is strange is that this scene… seems to have been left in his memory for a long time, and it looks very familiar.

He took a deep breath, pressed his painful temple and said, “Where did I see this kind of bug?”

Tang Ci was startled, and looked at the bug on his leg: “I also have a bit of an impression.”

Shao Qingge squinted his eyes for a moment and said, “You have never been to the Zerg Secret Room. The first Zhou Chang after everyone joined the team was Fang Pian Zhou Chang. The Chong King Card was banned, and Ye Qi and I did not take it out. Yes. In theory, you have not seen the Zerg before. If there is in your memory, maybe you have only seen it in this world?”

Tang Ci raised his head, “Is it Hilt no man’s land? It has something to do with our lost memories?”

Lu Jiuchuan knocked his head hard and said, “It’s possible. Zergs are alien creatures. We are now in the interstellar age. It doesn’t seem strange to see Zergs on distant planets?”

Shao Qingge said: “The Zerg originally came from an alien. It is indeed possible to see them again in the Interstellar Dungeon. However, the Zerg in this world should be an upgraded version, which is different from the batch we encountered, otherwise I will take one. Zhang Chong Ace can order all the Zergs to listen to me and give us millions of Zerg army for nothing. I don’t think the gatekeepers would be so kind.”

Lu Jiuchuan also felt that it was impossible for the gatekeepers to send a batch of Zerg to Shao Qingge’s help.

What is the bug in my memory?

Half an hour passed quickly, Ye Qi focused on treatment, sweating on his forehead, he put away the bugs, looked at Tang Ci’s calf excitedly, and said: “Okay, it really grows out!”

Tang Ci’s legs were fully grown, and even his white toes were very distinct. Tang Ci was happy in his heart and tried to stand up, but because he hadn’t stood for a long time, his legs felt a little weak and he almost fell back on the sofa.

Lu Jiuchuan hurriedly supported him and let him lean in his arms, his voice low and gentle: “Be careful.”

Tang Ci looked at Ye Qi and Shao Qingge. He seemed to be holding back a certain emotion, and a layer of water floated in his eyes: “Thank you, I never thought that I could… stand up again.”

Ye Qi smiled and scratched his head: “Mr. Tang doesn’t need to thank you, just use a card, you should.”

Lu Jiuchuan said to Shao Qingge: “I’m not welcome. I will speak whenever I need it in the future.”

Shao Qingge nodded: “Well. After all, Mr. Tang’s legs have just grown out, and we have never used Zerg’s broken limbs to repair it. I don’t know how effective it is. Don’t walk too much in the past two days. Slowly adapt.”

Lu Jiuchuan smiled: “Don’t worry, I will look at him.”

Seeing that it was too late, Shao Qingge and Ye Qi left and returned to their residences.

Tang Ci had to take a few steps to try, but after only two steps, his legs trembled. Obviously, he was not enough to adapt to the newborn legs. Moreover, he walked barefoot on the marble floor, which made Lu Jiuchuan feel distressed. .

Seeing that his face turned pale, Lu Jiuchuan simply picked him up and brought him back to the bedroom, and solemnly ordered: “You give me a good rest. The newly grown leg must have a process of adapting, and patients who have recovered from fractures must Do your rehabilitation slowly, not to mention that you haven’t walked for half a year. What’s the hurry? I’ll walk with you tomorrow.”

Meeting his concerned gaze, Tang Ci rarely smiled on his face: “Brother Nine.”

Lu Jiuchuan waved his hand: “No discussion.”

Tang Ci’s voice was very soft: “Thank you for staying with me. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be able to hold on to it now.”

Lu Jiuchuan was startled: “What?”

Tang Ci got into the quilt, covered it, and turned over: “Don’t say a good thing twice, forget it if you don’t hear it.”

Lu Jiuchuan: “…”

He did not hear clearly, only vaguely heard the word “thank you”, Lu Jiuchuan chuckled and touched his nose, and said, “Don’t thank you, when did you say this to your brother? Take a good rest and talk about it tomorrow.”

He leaned over and pulled the quilt for Tang Ci, and the smile on his lips couldn’t bear to expand.

It was a miracle that Tang Ci could still stand up.

No longer in a wheelchair, pretending to calmly cover the empty half of the trouser legs with a blanket.

In the previous Tang Ci, his legs were straight and slender, and he walked confidently and calmly. In the past six months, he was inconvenient in a wheelchair, and even going to the bathroom was a torture, so he tried his best to reduce three meals a day, and the whole person lost a circle. Lu Jiuchuan saw it in his eyes and felt it hurt in his heart, wishing to quit the crime for Tang.

Now, Tang Ci, who can walk, is back again, which is great.

Lu Jiuchuan sat by the bed and looked at the pale-faced person lying on the bed. He secretly swears in his heart that this time, he will protect this person and never let Xiao Tang suffer a little bit of grievance.

***

After Shao Qingge and Ye Qi got home, they turned on the phone and they heard Tang Ci’s message.

The two rushed to attend the birthday banquet of the prince, and indeed missed this crucial message. Fortunately, the “Xiaolou” in the palace did not do anything against them, nor did Shao Qingge and Ye Qi be copied. Influence.

After Ye Qi was tired for a day, he changed his uniform and went to take a bath first, while Shao Qingge went to the study and turned on the intelligent optical brain.

His father had already passed away, so he gave Noah Medical Technology Company to Shao Qingge to manage. At the same time, he also gave him a key to activate the safe deposit box of Shao’s family in the bank.

It was an induction ring, which had been locked in a cabinet in the study by Shao Qingge.

After entering the study, he remembered the incident and immediately opened the code lock with his fingerprints, and he saw the blue ring lying quietly there.

He took out the ring and put it on his hand. Regarding the ring, he remembered that it was given to him by his father before his death. Many wealthy people will rent a safe in the bank to store gold or cash for emergencies. This kind of safe usually requires special tokens to open. What would be the things that father kept in the bank safe? You won’t leave him a sum of money, right?

Could it be related to the Noah’s Ark Project?

Shao Qingge frowned, logged into the management system of the medical technology company in Guangbrain, and entered his identity and password. Now he is the company’s highest authority and has the highest system authority.

He checked the company’s investment projects over the years, and he found the Noah’s Ark plan 20 years ago.

Opening the project plan, Shao Qingge read it carefully and found several doubts.

First, this project is about the “Noah’s Ark Restart Plan”—restart, which means that there has been a Noah’s Ark plan before. When was the first time? What did you study?

Second, the amount of project investment, converted into RMB, is as high as 3 billion yuan. Such an important project plan did not list any details, including the direction of funds, cost budget, profit attribution, etc. This plan was too brief, only saying that “the gene project will benefit mankind” and shouting a lot of falsehoods. Dakong’s slogan does not have any core content.

The investment of 3 billion will definitely require discussion and approval by the board of directors. It was approved by the board of directors. Obviously, this top-secret study was approved by the executives of the company’s board of directors at the time. They also knew that this matter involved too many medical ethical issues, so they did not dare to make a statement and deliberately let the plan do it. It’s very vague.

Shao Qingge glanced at the list. The plan had his father’s signature. In addition, there were some information about cooperating scientists. Among them were the well-known professors of the Imperial Chinese Academy of Sciences… Zhang Shaohua?

This is not Lin Yan’s mother?

Shao Qingge squinted his eyes and copied this information, planning to send it to Xiao Lou tomorrow.

In addition, the ring of the safe is definitely an important clue. When the bank goes to work, he will go to the bank as soon as possible and open the safe left by his father.

See you tomorrow night~

There should be great progress tomorrow!
