Card Room - 293. Chapter 421-422

【Chapter 421, Mrs. Lin】

Facing the table full of Morse code banknotes, the room fell silent again.

The clues left by Shao Qingge’s father made everyone feel complicated. Unexpectedly, the Noah’s Ark project launched 25 years ago caused hundreds of replicated babies to die within half a year, and the plan was forced to terminate.

But in that case, why did the plan restart when Xiao Lou was 5 years old?

Mr. Shao felt uneasy during the first plan, and even secretly destroyed Shao Qingge’s specimens. Why did he agree to start the second plan and sign the plan?

Less than two years after the implementation of the plan, with the exception of Professor Zhang Shaohua, the only survivor, all the people who signed the contract died due to various “accidents”. Why did the boss behind suddenly kill these people?

These few questions are the key to the next investigation.

Xiao Lou carefully sorted out his thoughts, and speculated: “From the clues left by Mr. Shao, it can be guessed that the original intention of the Noah’s Ark Project was to allow humans to have a’standby healer’ to deal with various possible future emergencies. This kind of disease. Once the ontology gets sick, the organs, bone marrow, and blood of the cloned person can be directly used in the ontology. They may stay in a petri dish all their lives, without social interaction, without self-awareness, just like being raised in a greenhouse with Flowers isolated from the outside world.”

Tang Ci looked at Xiao Loudao: “I am used to backing up computer data with a portable hard drive to prevent data loss after computer poisoning. This kind of copying person is also equivalent to the data backup of the human body? You can use the backed up data after the data on the body is wrong. Come to fix it, is my understanding correct?”

Xiao Lou nodded: “Yes, the duplicates of the backup have no self-awareness. They only grow up in a petri dish. They can’t speak or even understand human language. Such duplicates cannot be called’human’, they are just a bunch of people. Experimental data.”

Shao Qingge folded his hands on his chest and slightly narrowed his eyes and said, “That’s why my father agreed to the first plan and wanted to make a data backup for me? Only, after discovering that the scientists had copied more than a dozen specimens, he I felt panic and uneasy.”

Yu Hanjiang frowned thoughtfully: “The failure of the first experiment should be that the petri dish had a problem, and the babies that were bred failed to survive. Then, what is the opportunity for the second plan to start? Since we dare to restart They must have improved this replication technology to at least guarantee the survival of the replicator, and the age is the same as the original?”

Xiao Loudao: “If only the catalysis technology matures and the replica grows rapidly, it is the same age as the original, this should not be enough for the boss behind the scenes to kill all the participants. There must be other reasons.”

Ye Qi boldly guessed: “Could it be that some clones developed self-awareness and escaped from the laboratory?”

The teammates were shocked and looked back at Ye Qi.

Xiaoye scratched his hair and said seriously: “Aren’t all science fiction movies act like this? The clone escaped from the laboratory and came back to retaliate, killing all the scientists who did research like he was a guinea pig.”

Shao Qingge chuckled and stroked his hair: “You have seen a lot of movies.”

Ye Qi was a little embarrassed: “I guessed it casually.”

Unexpectedly, Xiao Lou actually recognized Ye Qi’s guess and said: “Xiaoye’s guess is also reasonable. It is not ruled out that the copyist escaped from the laboratory or took away confidential documents, causing all insiders to be silenced.”

He paused and said: “But I think it is unlikely that the copyist will come back to retaliate and kill the insiders in the plan. The causes of these people’s deaths are car accidents, frontline sacrifices, laboratory poisoning, falling from heights, etc., On the surface, they are all reasonable’accidents.’ If the murderer can create so many accidents, he must be very powerful.”

Ye Qi nodded in agreement: “Professor Xiao makes sense. The cloner does not have such a great ability. Even killing nine people without leaving any loopholes must be a big boss behind him.”

Yu Hanjiang looked into Xiao Lou’s eyes and asked in a low voice, “Do you have anyone who doubts?”

Xiao Lou smiled helplessly: “Similar to what you think.”

“Your Majesty?” Yu Hanjiang felt that the most suspicious one was this Majesty.

“Yeah.” Xiao Lou thought so, and whispered softly: “If it was my father’s accident, it would be seamless. Moreover, there were three prince clones in the palace, and he also had the motivation to participate. All of them will silence their mouths.”

There was silence in the room for a few seconds.

Shao Qingge leaned back on the sofa and said regretfully: “Unfortunately, only Angela Chang is left in the signature. We can’t ask your Majesty directly.”

Lu Jiuchuan suddenly interjected and asked, “Will Qu Wanyue make progress there? Isn’t she familiar with Lin Yan? Maybe she can get close to Lin Yan and find out something from the survivor Professor Zhang Shaohua.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shao Qingge’s communicator suddenly lit up. It was the message from Qu Wanyue.

In order to prevent the communication device from being located and tracked, Xiao Lou, Yu Hanjiang, Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci all left the communication device in Capital Star before transmitting to Taohuayuan. Qu Wanyue will contact Shao Qingge directly if he has any progress.

A video was sent from the communication device, recorded by Qu Wanyue.

In the picture is the backyard of a large villa. A woman with short hair is sitting in a wheelchair. The skin on her face does not have too many wrinkles. Her features are delicate. She is a very temperament woman, but her eyes are calm. Like water, as if there is no soul, his eyes are staring at the tea cup on the stone table quietly, without any emotions.

Angela Chang should be in her 50s this year, and she still looks very young.

Lin Yan walked over and squatted beside her, and whispered, “Mom, I took your favorite oranges, how many?”

The woman turned her head and looked at Lin Yan with her eyes as if she was looking at a stranger.

Lin Yan peeled the orange to her with a smile, and handed a petal to her mouth: “Mom, try it.”

The woman in the wheelchair opened her mouth like a puppet and ate the orange without saying a word from beginning to end.

Lin Yan finished feeding her an orange, and then said, “Dad has been busy recently, and it has been a long time since I came to see you. Mom, don’t blame him. He still misses you when he leaves today. Let me accompany you more…”

She kept talking to herself, but her mother never responded.

Lin Yan’s voice choked with tears in her eyes.

Seeing her crying, Zhang Shaohua gently stretched out her hand to touch her head, and asked softly: “Who are you? Why are you crying?”

A gust of wind blew away the woman’s hair in the yard. Lin Yan stood up and quickly wiped away her tears, covered her with a blanket, and pushed the wheelchair and said, “The wind is blowing, I will send you back to rest.”

The video was terminated after the two entered the house.

The six people looked at the video and looked at each other.

Shao Qingge’s expression is complicated: “So, Angela Chang is able to survive because she has amnesia?”

Immediately afterwards, Qu Wanyue sent another piece of text: “I will go to Lin Yan this afternoon. After the chat, I will pretend to go out and sneak into her house with a chameleon card. They have a secret backyard, the door has been locked, Mrs. Lin She was under house arrest here. It is rumored that Mrs. Lin is in poor health and retired early to recuperate at home, but I think she is not in poor health, but in brain.”

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou looked at each other.

Before, Yu Hanjiang guessed that since the person behind the scenes wanted to kill the insider of Noah’s Ark plan, he would not only leave behind the hidden danger of Angela Chang. That’s why Angela Chang became the only survivor because she had forgotten everything, even her biological daughter did not recognize it.

Yu Hanjiang walked to Shao Qingge, took the communication device and quickly typed: “Are you sure she has amnesia?”

Qu Wanyue said: “Lin Yan spent an afternoon with her. I have been hiding by the side to observe, not like acting. And according to my investigation, this Mrs. Lin has not appeared in public for nearly 18 years.”

Yu Hanjiang said: “What’s your reaction?”

Qu Wanyue replied: “Long Sen is in the palace, and the signal is blocked and can’t talk to me. But Capital Star is very calm, and the troops stationed here did not move. The prince’s escape may not have been discovered by His Majesty. .”

Yu Hanjiang said: “Continue to pay attention to the movements of Lin Yan’s family, you two pay attention to safety.”

Qu Wanyue: “Understood, I will report if there is progress.”

After cutting off the communication, Yu Hanjiang frowned: “It seems that Zhang Shaohua can’t find useful clues for the time being. But there is a problem, I always think something is wrong.”

Xiao Lou was connected with him, and he quickly guessed: “Lin Yan?”

Yu Hanjiang opened the Morse code clues just translated and pointed to one of the lines and said: “The experiment must be kept secret. It is best for a few of our insiders to provide human cells…Professor Zhang used the cells of her daughter Lin Yan.”

Lin Yan’s cells.

She was born in the same year as Xiao Lou. For the first time, the clones raised by Lin Yan’s cells would naturally die. So, did she participate in the second plan?

Thinking of this question, Shao Qingge said: “Zhang Shaohua is a professor at the Academy of Sciences. In the second experiment, she should continue to add her daughter’s cells to the experimental group. So theoretically speaking, Lin Yan should also have a surviving copy? ”

Tang Ci quickly checked the data of the three members of Zhang Shaohua, Lin Zecheng, and Lin Yan, and magnified the virtual LCD screen in front of everyone: “Professor Zhang Shaohua graduated from the Imperial College of Life Sciences and is a PhD in genetics. She and Lin General Zecheng married in 2973 and gave birth to his daughter Lin Yan in 2975. In 2981, one year after Noah’s Ark plan was restarted, she suddenly became seriously ill and was unable to continue working. The Imperial Academy of Sciences approved her to go home to recuperate in advance.”

Severe illness is definitely not simple. It is called “rest” and it is actually under house arrest. Her husband, General Lin, is certainly not innocent, maybe he is an insider of the genetic project just like your majesty.

Today, she doesn’t even know her own daughter, and it is not so easy to dig clues from her.

Yu Hanjiang frowned and said, “Except for Mr. Shao who was aware of the danger in advance and left a safe in secret, other insiders were either killed or lost their memory. It is difficult to find out what happened that year.”

In other secret rooms, most of Yu Hanjiang’s identity is a policeman, who can arrest the suspect for interrogation.

But in this secret room, he can’t go to interrogate your Majesty and General Lin, right? The suspects have a special status and a high position. They cannot act rashly without sufficient evidence.

Xiao Lou carefully sorted out the current clues in his mind, and said: “Now we only have two breakthroughs. One is Lin Yan. If her mother can remember anything, it would be great; second, my sister Xiao Rou Maybe know something.”

What Xiao Lou said to Xiao Lou on the day the princess got married was not easy.

——Xiaolou, my sister is going to marry a long distance away, you have to take care of yourself, grow up quickly, and come to see me if you have the opportunity in the future.

On the surface, this looks like something casually said when a loved one is parting.

But the question is, why did she say this to Xiao Lou instead of the other two princes in the palace?

The Noah’s Ark project had been launched for the second time in the year she married, and the cloner must have succeeded. Does she know that the prince has a copy? As the prince’s sister, can she tell the replica from the real one?

Thinking of the memory of the five-year-old, Xiao Lou had a splitting headache.

Seeing him turning pale, Yu Hanjiang immediately walked to him, lightly embraced his shoulders, and said softly: “Don’t think about the headache. When it comes to the blue planet, let’s find a way to contact your sister and test her. Position.”

Xiao Lou made a soft “um” and stopped thinking.

At this moment, a soft female voice suddenly sounded in the broadcast: “Dear travelers, our spacecraft is about to pass the β-Spiral Nebula. You can go to the observation deck on the 3rd floor to enjoy this beautiful and spectacular natural scene of the universe…”

The six people were startled.

Ye Qi couldn’t help but complain: “Is there still scenic spots on the interstellar spacecraft?”

When I went to university by train, every time I went to a provincial capital, the announcer would introduce the famous landscapes of the city, and those long-lasting memories made Ye Qi a little nostalgic for a while. He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the landscape outside.

I have to say that the luxurious suite ordered by Mr. Shao is indeed worth the money. The view is unobstructed, and the spiral nebula in the universe can be clearly seen-in the distance, layers of nebulae are spinning and winding, as if forming a huge purple. The vortex, in comparison, the human spacecraft looks extremely small in front of the nebula.

Ye Qi said with emotion: “It’s magnificent! I have only seen this spiral nebula in the photos taken by the astronomical telescope before. I didn’t expect that one day, I could see the cosmic nebula so close!”

Hearing what he said, his teammates also walked over to look at the spectacular sight outside the window.

Before reaching the blue planet, we couldn’t continue to investigate, and everyone had to take a leisurely time to relax.

After the spacecraft passed the Helix Nebula, it was ten o’clock in the evening.

Shao Qingge said: “Let’s rest first, anyway, everyone can’t get out of the spacecraft, so you can keep up your energy to cope with the next thing. How do you arrange the three bedrooms?”

Ye Qi actively said, “I’m talking with Professor Xiao.”

This guy is obviously a loyal fan of Xiaolou. Of course, Yu Hanjiang disagreed. He took Xiaolou directly to a bedroom and dropped a faint sentence: “Go to sleep with your father.”

Ye Qi: “…”

Lu Jiuchuan also ignored Xiaoye, and took Tang to leave the next room, smiling and leaving the sentence “good night”.

Ye Qi looked at Shao Qingge tangledly.

Shao Qingge walked in front of him with a smile, leaned over, stared into his eyes and asked, “Why, don’t you want to sleep with Dad? I remember when you were young, you liked to nest in Dad’s arms.”

Ye Qi immediately retorted: “Nonsense, why don’t I remember!”

Actually he remembered. He was more than five years old when he was adopted. He probably grew up in an orphanage. He had no concept of “home” in his heart and no sense of security. After arriving in the new environment, Ye Qi couldn’t sleep at all, so Shao Qingge took the initiative He carried him to his bedroom and accompany him to sleep.

Ye Qi woke up many times in the morning and found that he was nestled in Shao Qingge’s arms, using him as a pillow.

The more I think about it, the more embarrassing it is. The gatekeeper absolutely has an enmity with him, and actually set him as Shao Qingge’s adopted son, and gave him so many childhood memories…

Seeing Ye Qi’s red ears, Shao Qingge’s heart softened, and he reached out and touched his head: “Don’t think too much, in this secret room, I am your father. What was so embarrassing when you hugged me to sleep when you were young Don’t talk about hugging me to bed, you seemed to wet the bed when you were a kid.”

Ye Qi’s face flushed: “…Can you stop talking!”

Shao Qingge chuckled softly: “Well, don’t say it.”

I’ll get it back again later. Of course, Ye Qi will change his name and nest in his arms when that happens.

【Chapter 422, Thrilling Moments】

Tang Ci is not used to sleeping in the same bed with others, nor is he used to his newly grown legs.

He was lying on the bed, very much like a corpse.

Lu Jiuchuan looked at his upright and tight sleeping posture, and couldn’t help but joked: “Your sleeping posture is really like being forced to sleep with a gangster, worrying about being assaulted…” He moved to Tang Ci A little smile melted into the deep voice in his ears, “Xiao Tang, is it necessary to be so nervous when sleeping with Brother?”

Tang Ci’s eyelashes trembled slightly, the roots of his ears were a little red, but his expression was calm: “I’m not nervous, but I’m not used to sleeping alone. This bed is too small.”

Lu Jiuchuan lay down beside him, deliberately leaving an arm’s distance away, and smiled: “Relax, I am a gentleman. I just sleep together and don’t do anything to you.”

Tang Ci looked back at him: “A gentleman?”

Lu Jiuchuan’s eyes were full of smiles: “Why, don’t you think I am an upright person?”

Tang Ci: “…”

You are a thick-skinned person.

Tang Ci glanced at him and turned to ignore him: “Go to sleep.”

Lu Jiuchuan smiled slightly: “Good night.”

Gradually, there was a sound of Tang Ci’s even breathing when he fell asleep in the room, but Lu Jiuchuan couldn’t fall asleep, so he simply lay his arms on his mind.

I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly, the spacecraft shook violently.

Tang Ci was awakened from his sleep, and the whole spacecraft was spinning around like an earthquake. Due to inertia, he suddenly crashed into Lu Jiuchuan’s arms. Lu Jiuchuan stretched out his long arms reflexively and steadily caught Tang Ci: “What’s the situation?”

Tang Ci almost crooked his nose when he was hit, and he whispered, “The spaceship is shaking?”

He struggled to get out of Lu Jiuchuan’s arms, however, the man’s arm on his waist tightened slightly, holding him in his arms, and whispered, “Don’t move, it’s not right outside.”

“Did you encounter an air current?” Tang Ci’s voice came from his chest, “It’s like an airplane bumps up when it encounters an air current? There will be this kind of air current in the universe, right?”

As if confirming his guess, the spacecraft shook violently again.

Lu Jiuchuan was shaken and rolled directly off the bed.

He hugged Tang Ci tightly with his right hand, his left hand pressed hard on the ground, and he rolled on the spot, and quickly rolled to the door with Tang Ci, wanting to inform his teammates.

At the same time, Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou were also awakened by the violent shaking. Yu Hanjiang hugged Xiao Lou’s waist and flew out with a light card. He grabbed the pillar in the living room with one hand and shouted: “Wake up everyone, there is something outside. Condition!”

Ye Qi also pulled the sleepy Shao Qingge out.

The six looked at each other, walked quickly to the French window and opened the curtains.

Outside the portholes, it was pitch black, and countless stars decorated the vast sky of the universe.

In this darkness, a huge red behemoth floated in front of it quietly, and the “eyes” of that thing emitted a dazzling red light. Its wings spread out as sharp as a knife, and its bright metal lines were sharp, as if it could be. Destroy everything.

Lu Jiuchuan was shocked: “What is that? Is it an alien?”

Shao Qingge was still yawning, and now he was completely awake. He squinted at the behemoth not far away, and said: “Such a huge volume…We are in front of it, it is food.”

The spacecraft was still shaking violently.

Tang Ci took out Guangnao to look up information, but was shaken to stand unsteadily. Lu Jiuchuan immediately supported his waist from behind. Tang Ci called up the LCD screen, typed some information quickly, and then frowned and said, “Navigation.” Failed to locate our current location. The network connection was interrupted and the spacecraft’s signal was affected!”

He paused, and then said: “According to the speed of the spacecraft and the route we passed before going to bed, the place we are now arriving should be…near the Aquaria star field.”

Xiao Lou recalled the interstellar map he had seen at the time, and said: “There is no human inhabitation in the Aquarius star field. However, the route of this interstellar spacecraft has been opened for more than ten years. It is impossible for aliens to appear suddenly on the route, right? ”

Yu Hanjiang frowned and looked at the behemoth not far away, and suddenly said: “That is not an alien creature, but a huge starship. Our spacecraft network is interrupted, and it should be affected by the interference electromagnetic waves it emits.”

Ye Qi’s eyes widened: “Team Yu is right, look over there!”

Everyone followed Ye Qi’s gaze and looked over.

I saw that huge starship, the blade-like flanks suddenly stretched out, clinging to the interstellar spaceship like sharp claws. Due to the attack of the “sharp claws”, the spaceship shook wildly again!

The six people almost fell to the ground collectively and hurriedly grabbed the pillar at hand to stabilize their bodies.

More and more claws protruded from the starship, and the entire interstellar passenger spacecraft was controlled by its claws. The hull shook more and more severely, and the miserable screams of passengers from outside the door: “Ah ah Ah, what the hell is going on!” “We seem to have been attacked on the spaceship?” “Gosh, what the hell is that?!”

The behemoth with its teeth and claws, the red light from its eyes just shone on the porthole of the spacecraft. After seeing it, the passengers screamed even more harshly!

It is like a huge spider. The sharp wings made of eight special metals can be turned into “sharp claws” at any time to catch the prey it sees.

At this time, this interstellar passenger spacecraft has become its prey.

“This is a battleship! We met the battleship of Star Pirates!”

“God, is it the legendary star thief who murdered like hemp?”

The screams outside had become a mess.

At this moment, all the videos in the cabins were forcibly opened. A woman with a black leather jacket, neat ponytails and a silver mask appeared in the video-apparently, she had already controlled the spacecraft’s video broadcasting system. .

The woman’s eyes were sharp as a knife, and her voice was as cold as melting ice: “Open the spacecraft door and leave all the belongings behind. I can consider letting you live.”

Teammates: “…”

Although she was wearing a mask, everyone recognized her at a glance.

——Chu Huaying, you are so awesome that you actually became a star thief? !
