Chapter 467 [End]
Tang Ci had compiled the list of guests attending the wedding and handed it over to Xiao Lou. Since Long Sen sealed the surroundings of the church with marble bricks in time, no one escaped.
Everything that happened just now was too unbelievable, what clones, self-healing ability, regeneration of severed limbs... It's like watching a movie, people can't believe it's real!
When the church calmed down again, none of the guests dared to speak. Most of them lowered their heads and trembled in fear. The church was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could not be heard.
Xiao Lou glanced around and said calmly: "What happened in the church today will not be reported by the media. Everyone here should also know what to say and what not to say."
He looked at Yu Hanjiang, Yu Hanjiang nodded, walked to the side of His Royal Highness, and said coldly: "Your Majesty is old and frail, and died of a sudden cerebral infarction due to excessive excitement at the wedding. The prince and princess are on the way back. In order to protect His Royal Highness, the imperial concubine and General Lin were unfortunately killed by an assassin. The assassin's name is Rod Bell, and he is a star thief who has been wanted by the Strand Federation for many years."
Hearing the captain of the Royal Guard say this calmly, everyone gasped.
Conversing black and white, confusing the public, none of what he said is true!
However, after all, His Majesty is the king of the Luoke Empire and Xiao Lou's biological father. If he doesn't find a suitable excuse, how can Xiao Lou explain it—he burned his father, sister, father-in-law and fiancee to death at the wedding banquet?
What will the people think of him?
What's more, the replicator project has broken the bottom line of scientific ethics, and making all this public will only cause panic among the people.What is even more worrying is that if there are some crazy scientists who become interested in gene duplication after hearing these truths, and conduct related research again... there is no guarantee that they will develop a version 4.0 cloner.
The best way is to bury this secret forever, and destroy all data about Noah's Ark, so as to completely stop the replication of human genes.
For the guests present, Xiao Lou decided to use hypnosis to make them forget what happened today.
At the beginning, Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci experienced hypnosis after being rescued back to the mermaid tribe. The mermaid tribe is the best at hypnotism. Before the wedding, Xiao Lou had already tried to inform Liu Qiao that the old man Gui was on his way to the Luoke Empire , coming soon.
Outside the door, Lu Jiuchuan drove the Starship Sharp Arrow, which had been prepared long ago, to the tarmac above the church. Long Sen put away the marble floor tiles, and all the people in the church were escorted to the starship by Lu Jiuchuan and Yu Hanjiang, and secretly sent to the preparation room in advance. Nice estate.
That night, Empire News Network released a heavy obituary——
"At the wedding banquet of Prince Xiao Lou, His Majesty suffered a cerebral infarction due to excessive excitement, and the rescue failed. On the way back, the concubine and General Lin were killed by assassins, and His Royal Highness was injured and was being sent to the hospital for treatment."
The happy event turned into a funeral, the people were very worried about Xiao Lou's situation, and reporters surrounded the hospital entrance.
Yu Hanjiang, the captain of the Royal Guard, told the reporter with a cold face that His Highness was only injured and his condition is stable. However, His Highness Xiao Lou was in a heavy heart after losing a loved one on the day of the wedding, and he did not want to accept any interviews for the time being.
On the forum, many people spontaneously offered flowers to His Majesty and prayed for the prince.
Clouds hung over the empire, and the people were worried.
And everyone who attended the wedding banquet did not go home that night.
When they woke up the next day, their memories of the wedding banquet were almost the same as those described in the news.It's just that they always feel that their memory about the wedding banquet is a little fuzzy, and it seems that something is wrong, but they can't remember what went wrong.
At this time, His Royal Highness Xiao Lou, who declared to the outside world that he was "injured by an assassination", was standing in the laboratory on the top floor of the Royal Hospital.
In front of him are two petri dishes, in which lie his closest family members in this world.
His Majesty is on the left, and sister Xiao Rou is on the right.
Both of them are already in a state of "brain death", that is to say, their body organs and tissues are still working normally, but the cells of their brains have lost their activity, like two vegetative people who will never wake up.
After Yu Hanjiang dealt with the reporters, when he came to the laboratory on the top floor, he found Xiao Lou standing in front of two petri dishes with a serious expression and a pensive expression.
Yu Hanjiang walked up to him, gently hugged his shoulders, and asked, "Is there anything else you don't want to understand?"
Xiao Lou said: "Xiao Rou in the laboratory looks only about 20 years old, the age she was when she got married. Obviously, her body was frozen here before she got married. In other words, 20 years ago, the Princess Xiao Rou who married into Azure Empire was actually a replica."
Yu Hanjiang looked at the young girl in the petri dish, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes, and he whispered, "Before Xiao Rou got married, he hugged you and told you that he must grow up quickly... Was that girl really Xiao Rou, or was she really Xiao Rou? A copy of Xiaorou?"
In my childhood memory, my elder sister wore a white wedding dress and walked through the long red carpet of the palace. There was no joy of a bride in her expression, but a trace of loneliness.When she leaned over to speak in Xiao Lou's ear, her voice was very gentle.
Xiao Lou always felt that that person should be real, the reluctance in her tone and the nostalgia in her eyes didn't look like she was pretending.Moreover, there is no need for the replicant to pretend to be in front of the 5-year-old Xiao Lou.
Xiao Lou took a deep breath to keep his brain calm, and said softly: "The sister who left the palace in a wedding dress should be real, and she was swapped on the way. 20 years ago, Xiao Rou saw me who was copied in the laboratory, and her She herself, she should have also seen Rod Bell—the star thief, who was in the clone lab at the time."
Yu Hanjiang thought carefully for a moment, and speculated: "That is to say, Xiao Rou saw Rod Bell in the laboratory, and it is very likely that under his instigation, she let the replicant marry to the blue planet instead of herself?"
Xiao Lou nodded: "This star thief is extremely cunning, at that time Xiao Rou was just a simple princess, she didn't want to marry a man she didn't love, so she was tempted by the star thief and agreed to let the replica marry her instead. So, she cooperated with Star Pirates in a scene, left the palace wearing a wedding dress, changed her bag halfway, and let a replicant replace her."
Yu Hanjiang followed this line of thought and said, "Unfortunately, she didn't expect that the so-called 'replacement' was a replacement in the true sense—from then on, the replicant became Princess Xiao Rou, but she was put into a Petri dish by Star Thief. Li, never woke up again?"
Xiao Lou nodded: "Yes, the words I said to her in the palace when I was 5 years old were actually a farewell."
Yu Hanjiang frowned, and said, "Xiao Rou's clone probably already had consciousness at that time, and listened to the star thief Rod Bell very much. She cooperated with the star thief to guide General Lin's Egret starship, Came to the deep sea where the mermaids are located on the blue planet, encountered a sea vortex and crashed?"
The star thief has been traveling around the universe these years, selling precious minerals. He probably knew about the mermaids long ago, borrowed a knife to kill people, and killed the entire human being who searched for the starship.
Everyone has already guessed the plot after that.
Rod Bell fused the genes of the Zerg, survived in the deep sea, deleted and changed the information of the Noah's Ark project, and cooperated with this fake Xiaorou to build a secret laboratory in the Mermaid.
On the surface, Princess Xiao Rou has been watched by her husband Herman.
In fact, it should be the other way around—it is the fake Xiao Rou who has been monitoring her husband Herman, and through her husband, keeps abreast of the movements of the empire, and then reports to Rod Bell.
Therefore, when Rod Bell developed the 3.0 version of the clone, he sent the invisible man to the Gemini to find Xiao Lou, and guided Xiao Lou to search for clues.When Xiao Lou finds out about the Azure Planet, the fake Xiao Rou lures them to investigate the fishing village, leading them into the trap of the Mermaid Palace in the deep sea step by step.
Rod Bell is a hunter, and the fake Xiao Rou is his tool.
Yu Hanjiang took Xiao Lou's right hand, looked at the ring on his finger, and asked, "Your Majesty gave you the Linghu activation ring, how should you explain it?"
Xiao Lou looked at the petri dish and said, "How old do you think the father in the petri dish looks like?"
Yu Hanjiang glanced back and said, "It's about the same age as His Majesty who was burned to death yesterday."
Xiao Lou said: "Is it possible that when we first entered the secret room, the His Majesty we met was actually real? So, he will summon you to test whether you can distinguish the real from the fake Xiao Lou, and give you the smart mech Launcher."
Yu Hanjiang was very surprised by Xiao Lou's conjecture: "You mean, your Majesty may be true at the beginning, he still has a bit of father-son affection for you, the genuine prince, so he gave you a mecha that can defend yourself—— Later, His Majesty was replaced by the replicant?"
Xiao Loudao: "It is very likely that the hunter failed to kill us in the Mermaid Palace, and failed to make us crash with the Dark Night starship, and we also resolved the siege of us in the Zerg underground labyrinth—continuous After three failed operations, they had no choice but to give us an ultimatum on the capital star."
If this is the case, the real majesty may have been killed in the last few days and replaced by a clone.
Although the real majesty is crazy and perverted, he will not kill his own son himself, he just "raises the Gu plan" to let all children compete fairly, because the No. 2 Xiaolou beside him has the self-healing ability of Zerg , so he gave his son a mecha to balance the strength of the two.
How did he die?When was it replaced by a replicant?
A figure flickered in Xiao Lou's mind, and suddenly said, "By the way, where is No. 3 Xiao Lou?"
Yu Hanjiang was slightly taken aback: "You mean, the unresponsive and obedient...Xiao Lou No. 3 I saw next to His Majesty?"
Xiao Loudao: "We met 3 self-aware Xiaolou clones in this secret room. The 2nd attended the engagement banquet and birthday party, and his demeanor and temperament were the most genuine; A very obedient prince; No. 3 was taken away by General Lin, and was rescued by the mermaid tribe after falling into the deep sea; No. 4, which was improved based on No. 4, became the prince of the mermaid tribe and was a hunter."
He paused, looked back at Yu Hanjiang, and said earnestly: "We have burned all the replicas of No. 4, No. 5 and the mermaid Xiaolou, and No. 2 was killed by us at today's wedding banquet, but... No. 3 Woolen cloth?"
Yu Hanjiang was startled: "No. 3 has never appeared, I only saw him once."
Moreover, at that time, it was analyzed through behavior and eyes that Xiao Lou who was beside His Majesty was not the same person as Xiao Lou who attended the birthday party. Yu Hanjiang defined these two as replicas No. 2 and No. 3.
During this time, the one who made public appearances was always No. 2, and he was the one who most resembled Xiao Lou.
And among all the replicants, No. 3 is the one with the weakest sense of existence. He has been following His Majesty's side, unknown, like a well-behaved and obedient pet...
What if he suddenly attacked His Majesty?
Your Majesty will be caught off guard.
Duplicants are a community of interests, and with the existence of version 3.0 chips, they are easily controlled by Rod Bell.
Xiao Lou said: "On our way back to the capital star in a hurry, the star thief took control of No. 3 Xiao Lou and asked him to attack His Majesty, kill His Majesty, hide him in the laboratory on the top floor of the hospital, and then wake up His Majesty's replica, so that A replica to replace His Majesty. They wanted to get rid of us at the wedding banquet, but they missed one person—Chang Shaohua."
Since Xiao Lou did not find Zhang Shaohua's own genes among the bones found on the sunken ship in the deep sea, he deduced that Professor Zhang from Capital Star was the real one.
Zhang Shaohua, who was pretending to be crazy, helped Xiao Lou find the most original information, let them confirm that there was something wrong with the identities of His Majesty and Xiao Rou, made a detailed action plan in advance, and completed a clean counter-kill at the wedding banquet.
Rod Bell's hunting plan failed again.
Xiao Loudao: "I don't know if he will come to make trouble again? I have to stabilize the situation as soon as possible."
Yu Hanjiang nodded, looked at him gently and said, "Don't worry, I'll make arrangements."
***
The next day, the reporter announced that Prince Xiao Lou was discharged from the hospital smoothly.
The imperial cabinet held an emergency meeting and successfully passed the proposal that the only prince, Xiao Lou, would inherit the throne.
On the day Xiao Lou succeeded to the throne, the Royal Guard led by Yu Hanjiang escorted him all the way. Yu Hanjiang supported Xiao Lou's arm and sent Xiao Lou to the gate of the largest palace in the imperial palace.
Xiao Lou, who was wearing the emperor's gown, looked calm and majestic, stepped up the white steps calmly, and walked towards the exquisite and luxurious throne.
He turned around, faced the officials from all walks of life in the hall, and slowly sat on the throne that symbolized the highest power.
Everyone put their right hands on their chests and bowed neatly: "Your Majesty."
Xiao Lou smiled and raised his hand: "Excuse me, everyone."
Almost at the same time, a line of prompts popped up in the floating box in the upper right corner of Xiao Lou——
[Congratulations to Xiao Lou's team for successfully clearing the Q secret room: interstellar voyage]
[You can return to your personal space to receive rewards, or stay in this secret room to spend the rest of your life]
[Please choose: A to stay, B to return to personal space]
Xiao Lou pressed option B without hesitation, and returned to his personal space with his teammates.
For him, after clearing this secret room, there is no need to stay any longer. They must hurry up and go to the next secret room and leave the card world as soon as possible.
The replicants in level Q left a serious psychological shadow on the teammates.
In the secret room in the future, when you see each teammate, you must first confirm the authenticity of the other party. They were almost wiped out because of an omission.As for the big boss of this level, Rod Bell, the leader of the Star Bandits, not only did they not solve each other, they even didn't even meet each other.
This person never showed up until the end.
Clearing the secret room does not require them to kill the hunter.
The hunters are in the dark, they are in the light.The future of the next level K is still uncertain, but with only the last two levels left, they can leave this weird card world.
They have to give it their all.
