Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“19, go to the bas.e.m.e.nt and tell Third Uncle that I don’t have a good appet.i.te recently and don’t want to eat jujube cake anymore. I heard that the river shrimp dumplings flowing into the river are very fresh and sweet. There’s a lot of rain this year. I wonder if the shrimp has changed flavor!”
19, Yan Kuan, and even Dark 1 were stunned. Even they might not be able to guess the meaning of such code words!
After 19 left, Yan Kuan looked at Shen Xiaoxiao and asked, “That person isn’t Third Uncle?”
Shen Xiaoxiao turned to look at Yan Kuan. Sure enough, he reacted the fastest.
“I’m not sure yet. We’ll know when 19 comes back!”
Yan Kuan raised his eyebrows and looked at where Shen Xiaoxiao was sitting. The computer was still on. With just a glance, Yan Kuan was shocked. This little guy actually thought the same thing as him!
“Are you reading about cloning?”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the computer, she nodded. “Whether it’s Ouyang Jinling or Third Uncle, I always feel that even though they’re clearly not the real person. Their words, actions, and their way of thinking are actually similar to the real person. The only possibility is that it’s a clone. However, this clone has developed very well abroad, but I’ve never heard of it in China. This kind of unnatural thing, no matter how I look at it, it seems a little strange.”
Yan Kuan took off his coat and sat on the sofa. After secretly hanging up his clothes, he sat down as well. At this time, Yan Kuan gestured to Dark 1 and said, “Tell her what we know.”
This time, it was Shen Xiaoxiao’s turn to be surprised. Could it be that Yan Kuan had such suspicions in the past? She had such suspicions because, four years later in her previous life… There was only one human clone in the world, and when the news spread, it shocked the entire world.
At that time, Pei Li was especially interested, so in order to cater to Pei Li, Shen Xiaoxiao also understood a little. Now, when she encountered this matter, she only thought of this.
However, Shen Xiaoxiao’s understanding was relatively shallow. She did not know whether this human clone was just cloning the internal organs of the body, or if it could also clone the thoughts. However, if it could also clone the thoughts… This was too unbelievable and too terrifying.
“Miss, according to the information we have, there are indeed some secret organizations overseas that are researching the matter of human cloning, and there are even successful cases!”
“There are successful cases? Really?” Shen Xiaoxiao was shocked. When the successful cases of human cloning were revealed four years later, it was already shocking to the world. If there were already cases four years ago, then wouldn’t this be even more terrifying and shocking internationally?
“If it can be cloned, then what about the way of thinking of a person? Can their thoughts and memories be cloned?”
When she asked this question, he was stunned for a moment. He had never tried to understand this question before.
“Little thing, this idea of yours is indeed bold. However, bold as it is, it is not unrealistic. Do you still remember the first time you saw me in the dark prison? At that time, my entire body was filled with instruments, especially the instruments on my head, which they had been working on for more than three months without stopping to remove.”
“What did you say? Could it be that the things they stuck in your head were to clone your thoughts? Then, were you tricked?”
Shen Xiaoxiao propped herself up from the stool. Her actions scared Yan Kuan and Dark 1.
“Little ancestor, can’t you slow down? What are you so excited about? If anything happens to me, you can still see me. They want to read my thoughts from my brain. My brainwaves are just a dream. I have trained for many years. How can they be so easily given these?”
“That’s right, Miss. Whether it’s the Master, me, the other secret guards, or the Four Hall Masters, we have all undergone strict training. Some of the brainwaves and thinking patterns are only targeted at people with weak willpower. Compared to us, those things are completely useless to the Boss. We have experienced things that are hundreds or thousands of times more powerful than that.”
When Shen Xiaoxiao heard Dark 1 and Yan Kuan’s words, her heart relaxed slightly. However, Yan Kuan had been imprisoned for more than two months. His brainwaves were constantly being monitored. Was there really no problem?
“Are you sure that your brain is fine? Don’t have any side effects!”
Yan Kuan looked at Shen Xiaoxiao, and was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He walked over and slowly pulled her over to sit on the sofa. He comforted her and said, “Then do you think there’s something wrong with me now? Is my brain normal?”
It was supposed to be a joke from Yan Kuan, but Shen Xiaoxiao looked at him seriously and said, “I think it’s not normal because normal people can’t do some of the things you do.”
Yan Kuan was furious. How could he not understand what Shen Xiaoxiao meant? Wasn’t she talking about the marriage certificate last night? Look at how serious she was. It was as if there was something wrong with him.
“You wretched girl, you really have guts!”
“What are we eating tonight, Dark 1? How about the spicy hotpot? I want to eat spicy hot wings.”
Even Dark 1 did not know whether to laugh or cry at her jumping topics.
However, she actually wanted to eat spicy hotpot. He could cook it tonight.
“What a little foodie.”
“Miss, I’m back!”
The few of them were sitting there talking happily when 19 walked back.
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at 19 and immediately asked nervously, “How is it? What did he say?”
19’s expression was slightly stern. He said with some confusion and confusion, “Third Uncle said that he knows that river prawns are not as nutritious as sea prawns!”
“Yes, that’s what Third Uncle said. When I asked that question just now, Third Uncle was silent for a moment and said he knew. After a long while, he said that river prawns are not as nutritious as sea prawns. Miss, what does this mean? Is this Third Uncle the real Third Uncle?”
This time, whether it was Yan Kuan, Dark 1, or 19, they all looked at Shen Xiaoxiao at the same time. What exactly did this mean?
Moreover, the code they were talking about had never been used by such a large organization like the Dark Empire. Only Shen Xiaoxiao and Shen Congwen knew the meaning of this code.
“19, you said that he paused for a long time when he answered, right?”
“Yes, Miss, he paused for at least five minutes. I’m sure that he didn’t leave until he had nothing to say.”
“That’s right.”
Shen Xiaoxiao’s face was gloomy. Her fingers kept tapping on the table. Well, seeing her like this, Yan Kuan had an 80% guess in his heart. It seemed that another fake had really appeared.
“Is that another fake?” Yan Kuan asked.
Shen Xiaoxiao was so angry that she smiled at everyone and said, “Now I’m sure that that person is 100% fake. He definitely won’t be Third Uncle. The real answer to my question should be ‘seafood’ and not shrimp! At that time, the real Third Uncle even laughed. The two words are so close that one would mishear if one is not careful!”
Dark 1 and 19 were shocked. This word game was really amazing!
