Wei Yang is still in school, always waiting in the woods by the pond in the middle of the night. However, nearly a month passed, and he never saw Lie Zhennan again, nor did he find any trace of Lu Shuangshuang.
"Are they, like the Wusheng Cult, disappearing from this world?"
Wei Yang couldn't accept this idea, and he recalled what Lie Zhennan said when he died for the last time. It was just three intermittent words, but he really couldn't fathom the profound meaning contained in those unfinished words.
Looking at the calm water, Wei Yang fell into deep thought.
Time passed little by little, and the sky was already turning white. Wei Yang knew that he would gain nothing tonight, so he took a deep breath and slowly stood up from the edge of the pool. Suddenly, he twitched his nose and felt that he smelled something.
A few bubbles stirred up in the pond. Wei Yang moved closer, and the smell became more obvious.
Lu Shuangshuang once said, "There is a strange smell on Lie Zhennan's body, as if it is the rancid smell of sewage."
Wei Yang once again recalled all his previous experiences. The direction Lie Zhennan was pointing at now seemed to be the school. And every time he appeared, he was always by the pool, and even when he was about to die, he always rushed here. There was also the first time when Lie Zhennan suddenly disappeared behind the trees. Wei Yang still remembered that he and the security guard found nothing, and the surroundings were quiet with only the sound of gurgling water.
"The sound of water!" Wei Yang stared at the pond in front of him and murmured: "Lie Zhennan will leave a body after his death, which means that he is not the legendary spirit body that will not disappear with death. That also means , He must have a hiding place, could it be..."
There are clouds all over the east, which is a gorgeous scenery.
Wei Yang slowly closed his eyes facing the early morning glow.
"Anyway, I have to give it a try!"
After making the decision, Wei Yang leaned forward and fell into the pond.
The water was bitingly cold and turbid than expected. Thanks to the fact that it was morning, Wei Yang was able to distinguish some things in the water. There was a cave at the bottom of the pond. Weiyang poked his head in and found that there was a glimmer of light in the cave that was supposed to be dark. Wei Yang didn't hesitate and went into the cave.
The cave seemed to be a passage, leading Wei Yang upward slowly, and finally broke away from the horizontal plane. Wei Yang took a big breath of air and continued walking inside. He knew that he had guessed correctly, this must be Lie Zhennan's hiding place!
The light in front became more and more obvious. Wei Yang was about to get closer to the truth, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
After passing through the passage, the front suddenly opened up. He saw that it seemed to be a room of nearly 100 square meters. There were many books and documents in the room. There were doors on the four walls. He didn't know what was inside.
As Wei Yang was watching, the door on the wall suddenly opened, and a white-haired old man slowly walked out. He was stumbling, as if he would fall down at any time. Wei Yang looked at the other person's face and was surprised to find that the other person had an ugly appearance, as if he had been spliced together. That face is exactly the same as Lie Zhennan!
"Who are you?" Wei Yang asked hesitantly, thinking of Lu Shuangshuang's strange illness, "Are you... Lie Zhennan?"
The old man smiled, nodded and said, "Yes, I am Lie Zhennan. You have been waiting for so long, and you are finally here."
"Do you know who I am?" Wei Yang was suspicious and asked the old man.
The old man said slowly: "Your name is Wei Yang, and you are Lu Shuangshuang's boyfriend. Your name has long been spread among us."
"You guys?" Wei Yang asked.
"Us!" the old man said, "haven't you seen them all?"
"What did you say?" Wei Yang's eyes widened, and he finally understood the reason why Lie Zhennan was so elusive in the warehouse, because there was not just one Lie Zhennan, but many. Wei Yang asked in horror: "Could it be that... he... they are all Lie Zhennan? Impossible! How come there are so many people who look similar!"
"Of course this is impossible, unless..." The old man thought for a while and then said: "All of this must be told from the beginning. This story is also related to Lu Shuangshuang."
The old man took Wei Yang to change his clothes first, and then sat opposite each other in the middle room. The warm tea was filled with white mist. The old man took a sip and finally said: "First of all, it's my name. Lie Zhennan is just a pseudonym. Our real name is... Lu Yanlei."
Wei Yang thought of the newspaper clipping he saw before and asked, "Could it be that you are Lu Shuangshuang's father?"
The old man shook his head, "Lu Shuangshuang only had one father, and he is already dead."
Wei Yang asked no more questions. He knew that everything would be answered after listening to the old man's story.
"You should have heard the previous story. Lu Yanlei was coveted by the cult because of his research, and eventually fled to the end of the world. But in a dilapidated hotel, those people still found him and his daughter."
The old man sighed, "That bullet hit Lu Shuangshuang's heart. When Lu Yanlei was about to escape, his daughter was no longer breathing. In great grief, Lu Yanlei took his daughter's body back to the laboratory and put it in the laboratory. His unpublished research was used on his daughter."
"Could this be research on resurrecting people from the dead?" Wei Yang couldn't help but ask. If this was the case, then he could understand why the Wusheng Cult Leader had still been obsessed with this for so many years.
"To a certain extent, that is a research that can make people live forever." The old man chuckled, with a sigh in his tone, and continued: "Memory transplantation is a technology that can preserve people's memories. If in the human When he is about to die, if he transplants his memory into the cloned body, do you think he will be able to live forever?"
"You mean... the real Lu Shuangshuang is actually dead, and the current one is just a clone that inherited her memory!" Wei Yang asked.
"For Lu Yanlei, that is the resurrected Lu Shuangshuang. Not only Lu Shuangshuang, we are also the inheritors of Lu Yanlei's will." The old man said, "The whole process from memory preservation to transfer into the clone body takes a long time. Lu Yanlei was already dead at that time He was seriously injured and could not survive until that time. So he activated me, the original experimental subject. He transplanted the memory into me and asked me to continue his plan to resurrect Lu Shuangshuang, while he left with Lu Shuangshuang's body. laboratory."
"He did this to make the Wusheng Cult think that he was dead and stop pursuing them?" Wei Yang asked. Only then did he understand why there were people in the list of dead people he saw in the newspaper clippings. Lu Shuangshuang’s name.
"Exactly." The old man nodded and continued: "I am the product of a failed cloning experiment. Although I have Lu Yanlei's genes, my face is ugly and my body has many hidden dangers. As a defective product, I should have been disposed of. But he continues to exist as Lu Yanlei."
"What happened next? Did the plan to resurrect Lu Shuangshuang succeed?" Wei Yang asked.
