After Tang Ya finished the first sentence, she suddenly lowered her head slightly and couldn't see his expression for a while, but Tang Yi somehow felt a faint sadness spread through the screen. The person on the screen stopped for a while, then raised his head again and smiled slightly.
"After I'm gone, I guess the security department has found you and transferred you to the Kraken team? You should have seen Quicksilver, right? If you two watch this video together now, I have to say something to Quicksilver. I'm sorry. Your sudden awakening, including your encounter with me later, and then binding with me, are all in my plan. The purpose is to collect DNA samples from your body, observe your behavior patterns and personality, and at the same time subtly develop You instill suspicion about the base. My task is to report this data to the Free Alliance…”
Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, and instantly pressed the pause button.
… Free Alliance
What's the meaning? Why did the brother report to the rebels
Is it a slip of the tongue? Or did you hear it wrong
Tang Yi pressed the rewind button and listened again, but he heard the same four words.
After speaking this paragraph, Tang Ya paused again. He laughed at himself, "Yes, Xiaoyi, you heard it right, I am a spy placed by the rebels in the Kraken Squad. At present, there are five people like me in the Kraken Squad, I don't know there are still five left. The next few. I've been with the rebels since I was in the orphanage. Do you remember the old dean? He was secretly arranged by the Free Alliance to be in the orphanage with the purpose of taking over the two of us. Choose one of the individuals to perform a mission close to the mercury."
The old dean... Of course I remember that old man who was stern but also reliable and loving. Was he... sent by the rebels
Tang Yi suddenly began to doubt the authenticity of this CD.
Because the information is so illusory. First Tang Ya told him that he was a rebel, and then the old dean also became a rebel. What the hell is this? Besides, why did the rebels bother to get close to the two of them
"Xiaoyi, what I'm going to say next may sound unreal. But what I said is true. When you listen to it, you will understand why I was so opposed to your joining the army. I hope that after you listen to it After that, you can get out as soon as possible and leave the Kraken team. I don’t know if you have heard the name Chen Yuan, but you have always been fascinated by the Kraken, and most of you know it. He is the Kraken who attacked the human world three hundred years ago. The leader is also the "incarnation" of the gods believed by the siren. He has an unmeasurable and powerful biological energy, but because of the design of General Morris, who is bound to his emotions, he was captured by humans. Then Noak imprisoned him in In the secret research institute, the source of his power is controlled with diluted Red Death reagents to study the source of his power. However, what the base does not know is that during his captivity, a human soldier guarding him, Deep sympathy developed and even developed into love.
The human soldier's name has never been recorded in history. His name was Qin Mo, and he was probably only twenty years old at the time. While he was in charge of guarding the Kraken, he also forcibly injected the Kraken with medicine according to the time. Looking at the beautiful Kraken tortured by the red death potion in the transparent cage every day, I couldn't bear it, so I would occasionally secretly change the potion to physiological saline, talk to the Kraken, and secretly bring some food or books from outside. Although Chen Yuan was very indifferent at first, he even had a strong hostility towards him. But after a while, the Kraken found himself dependent on this gentle person. Chen Yuan is the only known Kraken who has the ability to fall in love with the second individual, and he has feelings for Qin Mo.
Qin Mo tries to help Chen Yuan escape. He successfully took Chen Yuan out of the institute and hid in different cities for more than a year, but he was caught after he failed to get close to the sea. Chen Yuan watched Qin Mo fall to the ground. He thought that Qin Mo was dead, so he forcibly released all the remaining power in his body and perished with all the chasing soldiers. At that time, the energy he released was equivalent to the simultaneous explosion of two nuclear bombs. Fortunately, the place where the conflict occurred at the time was not in the center of the city, otherwise the entire New York would be razed to the ground.
Later, Chen Yuan's body was recovered and kept in Noah's Kraken Research Center. However, Qin Mo miraculously survived, and half of his face was burned. He changed his name and surname for a period of time, and then began to publish what he saw and heard about human abuse of sirens and genocide on the Internet. Naturally, he was blocked by the government. The government at the time didn't see him as a threat, but his articles were seen by some and had their first followers.
After the Leviathan virus broke out, Qin Mo established some shelters, and his followers suddenly increased, which was the predecessor of the Freedom Alliance. However, Qin Mo never confronted the government head-on, which allowed his organization to grow and develop quietly.
In Qin Mo's era, research on cloning technology was in full swing, and he was sure that the government would find a way to replicate Chen Yuan in the future. After all, if such power can be understood and controlled, it is equivalent to possessing the most terrifying weapon in the world. And he also left a last wish before his death - when the cloning technology is mature, he will be cloned out, so that he can meet Chen Yuan again, let him rescue Chen Yuan and other sea-monsters from human control, complete A promise that was not fulfilled in the previous life.
You can probably guess that, right? Why is mercury special? Why does the Ministry of Security take him so seriously? Because he is the only successful copy of Chen Yuan. After human beings have mastered the relatively advanced cloning technology, they have tried to replicate Chen Yuan again and again, but they have all failed. Even Yu Lijian once thought that Chen Yuan could not be cloned. But the emergence of mercury broke the deadlock. No new finished product appeared before or after the mercury. After learning of Mercury's appearance, the Freedom Alliance immediately began to copy Qin Mo. The purpose is naturally not just to fulfill the last wish of the first leader, but to get the DNA sample of Mercury and find a way to turn against him. Because Chen Yuan was bound to Qin Mo for the second time when he died, the mercury copied from his brain cell DNA is likely to have a subtle attachment to the clone of "Qin Mo", and it will be easier to control and bind. "
Having said that, Tang Ya paused for a moment, sighed, and picked up a photo and put it in front of the camera.
The photo was an old color photo of a young man dressed in an American military uniform with a bright smile. His eyes were smiling, simple and gentle.
Tang Yi pressed the pause button and blinked slowly.
That young man looked exactly like Tang Yi and Tang Ya.
In other words, if the expression is also included, it was carved out of the same mold as Tang Yi.
Tang Yi almost numbly pressed the play button again.
"The person in this photo is Qin Mo. This is one of the few pictures of him left in the world." Tang Ya put down the photo and stared at Tang Yi with her calm eyes, as if she was really standing there The same as in front of him, he looked deeply into his blank brain.
"We are the only two successful copies of Qin Mo. After us, Qin Mo's remains were destroyed in a base bombing of the Freedom Alliance."
The remote control in Tang Yi's hand fell on the dirty printed carpet unknowingly, making a dull bang.
"The person who cloned "Qin Mo" is a researcher Sharp Sword who defected from the third base. Her name is... Tang Qing. She brought us out of the Freedom Alliance." Tang Ya chuckled helplessly. , eyes drooping. He raised his head again, looking at the camera, his expression melted with a little tenderness and nostalgia, he said, "Xiaoyi, we are not real twin brothers."
"Nonsense..." Tang Yi seemed to have forgotten that he was just watching a surviving video, and retorted to Tang Ya loudly, "You must be playing with me! You have always liked to laugh at me and play with me since you were a child!"
However, Tang Ya would not respond to his question, but continued, "Our two data are stored in the database of the Free Alliance, and now I will store it in this CD, as long as the DVD player you play has the Wi-Fi recording function. , when you run this CD, the data will be encrypted and transferred to your personal folder. The two of us are named 'Valentine Project'", Tang Ya chuckled, "It's a very apt name."
Tang Yi picked up the remote control on the ground and pressed the pause button again with trembling hands. He turned on the laser projection of the watch and opened his personal folder. There is a new unnamed folder at the bottom of the countless folders, and you need to enter a password after clicking it.
Tang Yi tried his and Tang Ya's birthdays, Tang Ya's name, his own name, and the orphanage's name, but they were all wrong. He suddenly remembered the scores that were clipped with this CD, so he hesitated to enter the pinyin of Baizhou. The folder was opened.
The first image of a person to appear. It was a woman of about thirty years old, with a rigorous and elegant temperament, with neatly combed hair in a bun. She said in a cold, emotionless voice, "My name is Tang Qing, and I'm the main person in charge of the Valentine Project. Today is July 3, 2482. After five years of repeated attempts, today we finally got five surviving clones. Embryos..." She continued to explain in many technical terms that Tang Yi could not understand, five tiny human embryos were floating in front of her, probably only less than a month old. Tang Yi swiped his finger quickly and skipped the first few files. When it was in the middle, Tang Qing's expression became more excited than before. She said that although only two of the five embryos developed successfully, both were healthy and could be removed from the uterine vial and placed in an incubator in about three months. Tang Yi slid back a few times. He found that Tang Qing's expression gradually changed from excited to a little more gentle. He saw her sitting in front of the two babies' incubators, gently stroking the babies' faces through the glass of the incubator like a mother. She even named two babies and gave them her last name as if they were really hers.
Then, those maternal tendernesses were gradually replaced by worry.
When turning to the last few documents, a document looks a little different. Tang Qing did not come up to report the date and time as before, but silently "looked" at Tang Yi, and after a while, she suddenly said, "Next week they will take the two children to 'Arena', they From the time they are sensible, they will undergo severe training, and then when they are ten years old, they will be asked to kill each other. Only the one who survives is eligible to be sent to the base for the final mission of the Valentine Project... Is this really right? ?Tang Ya and Tang Yi... They are just two ordinary children... They don't know anything... "
In the next few minutes of documents, her expression turned cold again, reporting the status of the clones accurately and rigorously, and constantly mentioning the word Arena. In the last document, she routinely reported the status of the baby. After that, he suddenly sneered and said "Fuck you all" to the camera, and then the entire folder was suddenly destroyed automatically. After a flaming flash, the unnamed folder was gone.
It burns immediately after reading it, leaving no trace.
Tang Yi sat alone in the dark light, staring blankly at the other folders flashing in the beam of the watch.
He focused his somewhat empty gaze back on Tang Ya's face, and suddenly he didn't dare to continue listening.
Cloning... Qin Mo... Tang Qing... Killing each other... Approaching Mercury...
Too outrageous, right? He was just a bear child who grew up in an orphanage. It was obvious that the day-to-day life in the orphanage had really happened. Why is it that when I think about it now, it is like separated by a layer of distant fog, with a hand in my hand. It dissipated.
Could it be that what is described in this folder is the life he was originally set for? He and Tang Ya are not brothers at all, but opponents born to fight each other for the right to survive
So... was he the kid who was supposed to die
Tang Yi didn't need to continue to look down, he could guess some things.
Tang Qing was reluctant to send the two of them to the "Arena", so she sneaked the two of them out of the Free Alliance base and placed them on the border of the base. The soldiers at the base picked them up and mistook them for twins and sent them in. The orphanage he was familiar with.
Then maybe the rebels tortured Tang Qing to extract a confession, or maybe they got other news that Tang Ya and Tang Yi were in the orphanage. But once you enter the base, it is very difficult to take the baby out again. In addition, both babies have been registered into the computer system of the sword, and there will be records once they leave the country. So the rebels changed their tactics and sent their own people to the orphanage to take control of the two children.
Then Tang Ya was chosen to be the one to carry out the mission.
Tang Yi dared not continue to watch that CD. He had heard enough that night, and after being out for so long, Mercury might start to become suspicious. He took the disc out of the machine, knowing that the best way to deal with it was to destroy it. But... After all, he hadn't heard Tang Ya's words.
This is Tang Ya's last words after all...
He thought about it, and put the CD in his pocket.
Even if this is what Tang Ya told him, he still needs to personally verify some things. His hands were clenched into fists in his pockets, and his body suddenly felt cold. After leaving the door of the store, the still noisy world outside suddenly changed beyond recognition, and even the sky dyed with neon at night was far and darker than ever before.
