The Desolate Star is very foggy this night.
Ever since the fog engulfed the town, Chu Shici couldn’t move. Su Zheyan didn’t show any reaction on his face, but came to twist him every now and then.
From time to time, there were screams in the streets, and the windows were blown by the wind, making it impossible to sleep.
When Chu Shici was sorting out the known clues with the system, Su Zheyan turned over several times on the bed, and finally sat up with a cold face.
“There are people talking downstairs all the time, it’s very noisy.”
He paused, touched Chu Shici’s head and whispered, “Xiao Ci, I’ll go and have a look, you must not make a sound.”
Chu Shici:?
Ah Ci, Xiaobai? Should he be thankful that when the hero stitched up the name, he didn’t stitch into Xiao bai ci*?
*(Xiao – little, Bai Ci – idiot)
During his time on Desolate Star, Su Zheyan was extremely sensitive to human voices. The monster would at most eat him up, but people would insult him and torture him, making his life worse than death.
No matter how loud the monster’s voice was, he could still fall asleep. However, he couldn’t fall asleep if there was even the slightest sound of a human around him.
Xiao Ci doesn’t count, he is a man-made human.
Although he likes men, he talks coquettishly. But in Su Zheyan’s heart, he is a simple and lovely robot.
Chu Shici was stuffed into his chest pocket by Su Zheyan, and he followed him to the stairs.
Affected by the fog, all technological products failed. There are only a few candles in the reception hall on the first floor of the hotel, and the shop owner is chatting with five people.
In the candlelight, Chu Shici could clearly see their clothes. A well-tailored black suit with gold prints on the chest and cuffs. Snakes entwining apples, they are people of Eternal Life Technology.
Su Zheyan’s eyesight is much better than his, and he had already quietly hid in a corner.
The alpha pheromones were floating in the air, and they seemed to be very familiar with the boss. Several people chatted while drinking, looking relaxed.
A case of wine had bottomed out, and everyone was a little drunk.
The boss sighed, “It’s getting harder and harder to do business recently, and all the criminals who are exiled are alphas. Damn, you can’t make money by opening a hotel. Those alphas don’t know what long-term development is. The beta who arrived just last month died within two days.”
The people from Eternal Life Technology looked at each other, and the two of them looked unfriendly and signalled him not to say any more.
The other three became interested, and turned their backs to the blond man at the top of the stairs and said, “We have clones there, both B and O. If you can pay the price, I will get you two omega clones. A member of the regiment, and a dream lover of countless people.”
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by someone.
A dark-skinned man sat on the right side. He put down his glass heavily, “Are you disgusting or not? What goes on between criminals stays between criminals. Don’t involve the clones!”
The golden man drank too much, pointed at those who opposed him and taunted, “Why, did I poke your nerves? I almost forgot, you two are also clones. In the old society, you were all slaves. I used to play with dead clones all the time as a teenager. I can’t even count them on one hand, even if I were to beat them to death on the streets, I won’t even be sentenced. Let me tell you, you mass-produced things, what right do you have to demand human rights!”
These words completely ignited the black-skinned man’s anger, he picked up the wine bottle and threw it at the blond man’s head, another black-haired clone also stood up cursing.
The five people wrestled together, and the boss pretended to fight beside him. Shouting ‘Don’t hit, we have something to discuss’, and passed the knife in the middle, wishing they would kill and maim right now.
Su Zheyan hid in the corner, his eyes fell on their weapons, and he was ready to pick up the leftovers.
Several people beat and shouted, Chu Shici captured some information from their quarrel.
These five people visited the town late at night to investigate the anomaly in the southeast. There is news that after the fog appears, a deep pit will appear somewhere in the southeast. There’s something in the pit that makes Desolate Star a technological graveyard.
In the wilderness, the fewer people, the safer. Eternal Life Technology sent a hundred five-member teams into the wilderness in batches. They were the first group, preparing for the fog to pass before continuing to explore.
After fighting for some time, the opposing camps have been divided.
Three humans were fighting against two clones, and at this moment an accident suddenly occurred.
The blond man took out a box from his arms, grabbed a black stone and threw it at the black-skinned man opposite.
The man couldn’t dodge in time, his body melted quickly, and he fell to the ground screaming. After a few seconds, he turned into grains of sand.
The boss widened his eyes in shock, and ran behind the cabinet to hide.
Another black-haired clone quickly stepped back, “How dare you use a black stone, it’s a contraband!”
The man reeked of alcohol, and his speech was slurred, “Of course it’s a contraband for clones, but I’m a human being. Mr. Zuo Ting gave it to me, and each of us has a piece. Do you really think we are colleagues? Today, if you die, I will report to the company, and a new you will be produced the day after tomorrow. At that time, you will not remember how you died, and your mind will be full of ‘Long live Eternal Life Technology!’”
The black-haired clone flushed with anger. He glanced at the sand on the ground, turned around and fled to the second floor.
There were bursts of laughter downstairs, and the three human employees took out black stones and threw them upwards.
“Liu Qinglong, weren’t you stubborn! What are you hiding for, come down and fight us!”
Liu Qinglong ran up traumatised, but just after turning a few steps, he was dragged into a room by someone covering his mouth.
The man pressed him against the wall, and a cold voice rang in his ears: “Don’t move, I also have a black stone on my body.”
Liu Qinglong immediately became honest.
The fog cleared slightly, and Chu Shici could move around.
He sat on top of Su Zheyan’s head, looking at the back of the clone’s head sympathetically.
Su Zheyan said coldly: “What happened just now.”
Liu Qinglong’s body tensed up, “Blackstone will quickly decompose the body of the clone, no, not only the clone. Those who have undergone gender reassignment or come out of the hatchery can’t touch the Blackstone.”
“What’s in the southeast?”
“I don’t know, Mother asked us to investigate.”
“I’ve only ever heard of the Mother of robots”
“Eve, the founder of the brand, is also our Mother. She gave us life. She doesn’t like to manage, but she holds the real power in the company.”
Su Zheyan frowned slightly, “Miss Eve passed away a long time ago.”
“Mother is alive, you can’t curse her.”
“She was assassinated by artificial intelligence twenty years ago. My father was ordered to investigate the matter. You can’t lie to me.”
Liu Qinglong broke free from the shackles and turned around angrily, “If you speak rudely to her again, I will kill you with all my might! She is alive and well, and she even attended a speech last week!”
Listening to the clone’s protection of Eve, the alpha’s voice suddenly reappeared in Chu Shici’s mind.
“Your mind will be full of ‘Long live Eternal Life Technology!’”
There was a chill behind his back, and he couldn’t help shivering.
Su Zheyan said that Eternal Life Technology will directly implant memories into the clones, and it can be heard from Alpha’s words that the company will brainwash the clones to make them loyal to the company and the founder Eve.
Clones are just puppets in the hands of Eternal Life Technology, who can be manipulated at will. Even if there are occasional skirmishes, the truth is that they are actually completely within the company’s control.
That being the case, how could the clone riots that shocked the empire happen?
Unless it is not clones who organised the riots, but Eternal Life technology.
Or, to put it another way, Eve who ‘resurrected from the dead’.
