【Chapter 445, Liu Qiao】

Liu Qiao's voice was blocked by the mineral water bottle and sounded very weak, but Xiao Lou noticed the movement in the bottle immediately. He took the mineral water bottle from Ye Qi and asked softly, "Xiao Liu woke up?"

Liu Qiao swam around in the bottle, and found that Xiao Lou in front of her seemed to be magnified dozens of times in her field of vision. A face seemed to her like a wall. She finally realized, "You guys turned me into a As big as a thumb, locked in a bottle? Is it the same as the 8 of spades that locked Mr. Shao?"

Shao Qingge leaned over and asked, "Do you still remember the 8 of Spades?"

Liu Qiaodao: "Of course, Mr. Shao was infected by the Zerg in order to save Xiaoye. At that time, he was afraid that you would hurt his teammates, so everyone used my Thumbelina card to lock you in a bottle..." She paused, suddenly realized: "I understand. You made me smaller and locked me in a bottle because you were worried that I would hurt everyone? Do you suspect that I am a replicant?"

Hearing this passage, Xiao Lou became less suspicious of her. After all, only his teammates knew that Shao Qingge was infected by Zerg in order to save Ye Qi. Liu Qiao's ability to say this accurately greatly increased his credibility. .

Yu Hanjiang asked in a low voice: "Do you still remember where we first met?"

Liu Qiaodao: "At the mountain temple in Liuxi Village, I turned into Little Red Riding Hood at that time, and put a Kongming lantern to lead you over, and let you discover the human bone pit behind the mountain temple."

Yu Hanjiang continued to ask: "In the chaotic world, what are the identities of us?"

Liu Qiao replied earnestly: "Captain Yu is the new magistrate, Professor Xiao is your wife, Shao is always a son of a rich family, Lao Mo is the master, Long Sen is the guard of the palace, Sister Qu is the princess's personal maid, and I am a doctor." Girl, Ye Qi is..." She looked back at Xiao Ye: "The number one girl in the brothel."

Ye Qi couldn't help but support his forehead: "Can you not mention that dark history... Team Yu, can you change the copy and ask if it's okay?"

Yu Hanjiang immediately changed the question: "What's wrong with everyone in the tenth level?"

Liu Qiaodao: "Professor Xiao is the chief inpatient of surgery, Team Yu was shot and sent to the emergency department; Xiaoye got pneumonia in the pediatric department; Mr. Shao had a heart attack and underwent stent surgery; Long Sen broke his leg in the orthopedic surgery department; Lao Mo was sent to the emergency department for intestinal obstruction. Going to have an operation; I have a blood disease; Sister Qu is pregnant and has lupus erythematosus..."

Lu Jiuchuan rubbed his nose and said, "It sounds like you guys are really miserable in the tenth level, all of you are sick."

Ye Qi said: "The combination of the old, the weak, the sick, the disabled, and pregnant is really miserable. Only Professor Xiao is a normal person... However, I think this level is more troublesome. The tenth level is just that everyone's mobility is limited, and the clues are very clear. So far, we don't even know how many replicants there are."

Yu Hanjiang said: "Do you still remember the plot of Heart 9?"

Liu Qiaodao: "In the murder case in the entertainment industry, the first murderer was mentally distorted and killed the judge who gave him a red light in the singing contest, and the other was a body double after plastic surgery who killed his best friend."

Listening to Liu Qiao's fluent answers to the past dungeons, Xiao Lou finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just to be on the safe side, he continued to ask: "Xiao Liu, do you remember the library of the University of Medical Sciences? There are materials related to Chinese medicine on the 23rd floor. "

Liu Qiao thought for a while and said, "Yes, I often go to the 23rd floor to borrow books."

Xiao Lou was silent for a moment, then looked back at Yu Hanjiang and said, "No problem, this Liu Qiao should be me."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Qiaodao: "That Xiao Lou, the pastry that he brought me should have been mixed with drugs, and I passed out after eating it. If it wasn't for Professor Xiao's sudden heart-to-heart contact with me, I would never have doubted his identity at all. , he is too similar to Professor Xiao."

Xiao Lou said helplessly: "The genes of the clones are 99% similar, similar to twins, and the appearance is indeed difficult to distinguish. What you saw was No. 5 Xiao Lou. He has integrated the genes of humans, Zerg, and Mermaid, plus He is a hunter, he knows our team well, and he is really difficult to deal with."

Liu Qiao asked puzzledly, "Hunter? Why do clones become hunters?"

Xiao Loudao: "I guess hunters, like challengers, can travel in different secret room worlds. We can directly come to this world and be assigned different identities. Hunters can naturally also be assigned identities, and hunters are assigned to The more important your identity is, the more difficult it will be for us to pass the customs."

Shao Qingge was thoughtful: "For example, in the tenth level, my adoptive mother is a hunter?"

Ye Qi couldn't help trembling with fear when he thought of that scene on a rainy night: "If Mr. Shao and I hadn't reacted quickly enough, his mother would have almost killed us at the last moment!"

Xiao Lou glanced at his teammates and said meaningfully: "So, assigning the hunters of this level to the identity of 'Xiao Lou clone' will greatly increase the difficulty of our clearance. If we are not vigilant enough , maybe you fell into that person's trap."

Yu Hanjiang said: "We can avoid him first and investigate the sinking incident."

Xiao Lou agreed: "Okay, we will dive into the deep sea at dawn."

Liu Qiao swam around in the bottle and asked, "Can you release me? I'm a princess of the mermaid clan, and I'm familiar with the route to the palace, so maybe I can help."

Xiao Lou winked at Yu Hanjiang, Yu Hanjiang nodded, walked over to unscrew the bottle cap, and poured out the small fish the size of a finger from the bottle. At the same time, Gui Yuanzhang put away the [Thumbelina] card, and Liu Qiao immediately returned to his original shape.

Her tail is the longest among all people, over 2 meters, and the silvery white tail is glowing under the moonlight, which is more beautiful than the mermaid girl in the movie.

The protagonist is even more beautiful.

Lu Jiuchuan glanced at her tail: "Is this the mermaid tail with royal blood?"

Gui Yuanzhang nodded: "The sign of royal blood is very obvious, and the tails are all silver. Moreover, there are fewer and fewer mermaids with this pure blood. The mermaids believe in the concept of race, and think that silver tails are the most noble, and those who can inherit the throne , must also be a descendant of the silver-tailed mermaid with pure blood."

Xiao Lou thought for a moment, and said: "The current mermaid princes are artificially cultivated using genetic technology. As long as the gene fragment that determines the color of the mermaid tail is extracted and fused into the cells of Xiao Lou No. 4 when making replicas, The cultivated Xiao Lou No. 5 automatically has a silver tail that symbolizes the royal blood?"

Yu Hanjiang said: "Then find an excuse like 'an illegitimate child living outside'. The people of the mermaid clan will no longer doubt the identity of this prince. After all, he has a silver tail with pure blood."

Ye Qi looked at Xiao Lou: "Can we distinguish between Professor Xiao and the clone by the color of the tail?"

Xiao Lou said with a smile: "My tail is the blue of ordinary people, and his is the silver of royal blood, which can indeed be distinguished. It's just that in the palace, mermaids have to walk on two legs without showing their tails, so it is still difficult to distinguish on the surface. .Everyone try not to get separated when we act tomorrow, so as not to be taken advantage of by the clones."

Gui Yuanzhang said solemnly: "If we get rid of that clone, we can make the mermaid princess Liu Qiao a new generation king of the mermaid clan."

Liu Qiao froze for a moment: "Me? The king?"

Ye Qi patted her on the shoulder and said, "It's a lot of pressure, isn't it? Professor Xiao also has to inherit the throne. In this level, you two have special identities."

Liu Qiao thought for a while, then nodded seriously: "Okay, I will cooperate with everyone."

It was already 4:30 in the morning, and Xiao Lou said, "Everyone rest for a while, and we will set off at dawn."

After staying up late until now, everyone is really tired, so they simply slept for a while lying on the reef.

Xiao Lou didn't fall asleep, he lowered his head as if thinking about something, after a long time, he secretly held Yu Hanjiang's hand, and quickly wrote a few words in Yu Hanjiang's palm. Yu Hanjiang raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, then gave Xiao Lou a "I understand" look, and said softly, "Take a break."

Xiao Lou closed his eyes and fell asleep for half an hour.

Not long after, a gleam of light gradually appeared on the sea level in the east, and it was already dawn. Xiao Lou woke everyone up and said, "Get ready for action, there are 5 hours left for the mermaid princess to transform."

The living habit of the mermaids is to lie down at night and go out at night, so it will be safer to move at dawn.

In order to facilitate underwater communication, Xiao Lou opened the [Team Voice Headphones] card and distributed a headset to each person. He pressed the bump on the headset and said, "Xiao Liu, please lead the way. Team Yu and I After the break."

Liu Qiao nodded, plunged into the sea, and the silver fish tail drew a beautiful arc in the air.

Gui Yuanzhang and Lao Mo followed closely behind, and Mr. Shao, Xiaoye, Lu Jiuchuan, Tang Ci and others also jumped into the deep sea one after another.

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou followed behind, and the group swam quickly towards the sunken ship.

After adapting to the setting of "legs turning into fish tails", everyone swims faster and faster in the sea.

Ye Qi has been a landlubber for more than ten years, and every time he goes into the water, he is afraid. He never thought that one day he would be able to swim freely in the depths of the ocean, and even see colorful fish in the ocean.

The deeper you dive, the more beautiful the scenery will be.

A magnificent picture scroll of the seabed slowly unfolded in front of everyone. Corals of various colors are like large seabed flower beds covering the entire sea area, fish schools shuttle through the coral bushes, and colorful deep-sea fish schools open the door to another world for everyone.

This is a mysterious, quiet and dangerous seabed.

There are cute little fish and ferocious giant whales here. The ocean is a place where the rule of "survival of the fittest" has always been followed. Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimp. The weak have no right to survive at all.

It's no wonder that the mermaids are interested in the Noah's Ark project. If the mermaids are really fused with the genes of humans and Zergs and passed on, then the mermaids will have a rare opponent and become the overlord of the entire ocean.

Liu Qiao said: "The sunken ship is just ahead."

A group of people followed, and not long after, a military spaceship appeared in the field of vision.

The workmanship of this spaceship is very good, and the quality is high. Even though it is old, the metal shell of the spaceship has no obvious traces of rust. Lu Jiuchuan swung his tail, took a quick step forward, grabbed the hatch, and entered the cabin first.

Others quickly followed.

Lu Jiuchuan walked into the control room, looked at a bird-like mark on the console, and whispered: "This spaceship should be the 'Egret' starship that was decommissioned 25 years ago in the Southern War Zone. This bird-like mark , which represents the Egret."

Tang Ci was slightly taken aback, walked to Lu Jiuchuan, looked at the complicated console and said, "It is indeed the control mode of more than 20 years ago. If I remember correctly, the Egret is..."

Lu Jiuchuan said: "General Lin's starship."

*****

【Chapter 446, Major General Lin Zecheng】

The current commander-in-chief of the southern military region of the empire, one of the few generals, Lin Zecheng, Lin Yan's biological father, is also Xiao Lou's nominal father-in-law.

Hearing this name, Xiao Lou cheered up immediately: "Ninth brother, can the starship be activated again after it is decommissioned?"

Lu Jiuchuan shook his head: "No. According to the rules of the military department, retired starships must

It must be sealed. The Egret starship was decommissioned 25 years ago, and all Imperial soldiers know this. "

Yu Hanjiang said: "So, this group of people secretly drove the Egret to escape from Capital Star? Since the Egret is General Lin's starship, this escape plan must be related to General Lin." He looked at his teammates: "Let's go together two by two , search carefully for clues, and communicate with headphones if necessary.”

Xiao Lou asked, "Did No. 5 bring you here? Did he destroy the scene?"

Liu Qiao said: "No, he only checked the bones and said that the scene of the crime must be well protected."

Xiao Lou nodded: "Where is the corpse?"

"This way." Liu Qiao led the way, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang quickly followed.

After passing through a long corridor, a silver-white cabin door appeared in front of him. Liu Qiao opened the cabin door. Sure enough, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang saw ten human bones in the room. The posture is extremely distorted.

Xiao Lou leaned over to examine carefully, and quickly came to a conclusion: "8 men and 2 women, this little girl is indeed about 5 years old, most of the others are young and middle-aged, and there is only one elderly person over 50 years old."

At this time, Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci also came over, Lu Jiuchuan said: "A large piece of damage was found on the right rear of the starship, it should be that when the starship was involved in the sea vortex, the defensive cover was crushed by the pressure of the sea water in the deep sea. "

Yu Hanjiang said: "After all, this starship is not a professional submarine ship. It is difficult for ordinary aviation ships to withstand the water pressure in the depths of the ocean. The damage of the defensive cover is almost instantaneous. They may be killed by the huge ship before they have time to react. The water pressure crushed the internal organs."

At this moment, Ye Qi suddenly said in the earphone: "Huh? There seems to be a doll here?"

Xiao Lou turned around and came to Ye Qi's side, took the doll he picked up and took a closer look—it was a high-quality Barbie doll, wearing a cute pink cake dress, and her golden hair was carefully combed into two parts. Only a ponytail.

The doll is made of special waterproof material, which is why it is still intact after so many years.

Warships, rag dolls, it sounds like nothing can be done...

But Xiao Lou thought about it carefully, and quickly thought of a key point: "When an adult is running for his life, it is impossible to bring a doll to the starship. Ragdolls are generally toys that little girls like. This starship There was a dead body of a 5-year-old girl, and it was likely that the doll belonged to her."

Yu Hanjiang followed up and asked, "Will someone be kind enough to buy a doll for a replicant?"

Xiao Lou shook his head: "Twenty years ago, all replicants should be in the physical state of about 5 years old, but because they have not received human education, their IQ is still at the level of newborn babies. Replicants are still copies of babies' IQs. Humans definitely don't need toys to coax them, so it's more likely that... the doll belongs to the little girl herself."

Ye Qi's eyes widened: "The little girl who died here was Lin Yan herself?!"

Xiao Lou nodded with a sullen face: "Maybe there is also her biological father, General Lin Zecheng."

Lu Jiuchuan stroked his chin carefully, and said, "20 years ago, General Lin Zecheng was only in his thirties. He was not the commander-in-chief of the Southern Military Region, but a major general who led an army like me. The Egret The starship is the starship used by General Lin to carry out the mission, he is very familiar with this starship, so he took his daughter and escaped from Capital Star in an emergency?"

Xiao Lou went back to the cabin full of corpses, carefully watching the distribution of corpses around.

He found that there was a man next to the 5-year-old girl. The man's arms were tightly hugging the little girl's shoulders, protecting the little girl in his arms in a protective gesture. Adult male in his 30s.

Xiao Lou pointed to the bones and said, "This person should be General Lin Zecheng. In times of danger, as a father, he subconsciously protected his daughter."

The hairs on Ye Qi's back stood on end: "Where did General Lin and Lin Yan from Capital Star come from? And Zhang Shaohua who lost his memory?"

Shao Qingge said: "I'm afraid that family is all clones."

Everyone: "..."

No wonder the black hands behind the scenes killed all the people who signed the proposal, but they only let Professor Zhang Shaohua go. She looked so stupid that she didn't even know her own daughter. Maybe she didn't lose her memory, but that she was Duplicants have no memory of husbands and daughters at all?

Xiao Lou hurriedly said: "Teacher Qu is in danger, tell her to be careful!"

Shao Qingge wanted to notify the other party, but unfortunately, the signal in the deep sea was blocked, so he couldn't contact Qu Wanyue at all. Looking at his communication device with no signal, Shao Qingge could only frown and said, "Let's talk about it when we leave the sea area, she has a chameleon The card can be integrated with the environment, and there should be no problem for a while."

Yu Hanjiang asked everyone: "Are there any other clues?"

Tang Ci asked: "Return to the seniors, did you open the hatch of the starship when you came to investigate the case?"

Gui Yuanzhang said: "The cabin door was open when we first came here."

Tang Ci said: "That means that there were people who came before you, because the hatch of this kind of starship must be opened with a password, it is likely that someone from the mermaid came to the starship and took away the materials related to the Noah's Ark project. "

Xiao Lou looked around and said, "These 10 human bones, except for General Lin Zecheng and 5-year-old Lin Yan, the identities of the other 8 people are still uncertain."

Suddenly, Ye Qi walked up to a corpse, staring blankly at the semicircular necklace on the other's neck. Shao Qingge hurriedly came to Ye Qi's side, gently grabbed Ye Qi's wrist, and said in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Ye Qi said, "This necklace..."

He unbuttoned it and took out the exact same necklace worn around his neck: "It's a pair with mine."

Shao Qingge narrowed his eyes: "This corpse, could it be your biological father, General Ye Bowen?"

Tang Ci said: "Judging from the official records, General Ye died on the front line. In other words, General Ye and General Lin escaped from Capital Star with several replicants and information about the Noah's Ark project. Is the so-called 'sacrifice at the front line' a deliberately fabricated lie?"

Lu Jiuchuan said: "After all, a young general suddenly disappeared. It's hard to explain clearly. Why don't we explain it with 'died at the front line'?"

Shao Qingge frowned and said: "It seems that some people with strange causes of death in the plan are likely to be on this starship. They must have sensed that His Majesty wants to kill them, so they collectively brought the replicators and the Noah's Ark plan The relevant information escaped from the capital star. Unfortunately, people are not as good as heaven, they encountered a sea vortex, but the mermaids stole the information."

Xiao Lou looked back at Liu Qiao: "Your Majesty of the Mermaid Clan, that is, your father, do you think there is anything wrong with him?"

Liu Qiao shook his head: "Father is a very kind and kind person. It's not like he knows about human cloning. I haven't heard any news about it in the memory of my eighteen years in the Mermaid Clan."

Xiao Lou then asked: "Does the mermaid have a deep understanding of genes and biology?"

Gui Yuanzhang suddenly remembered something, and said: "There is an elder of the mermaid clan named Karen Geer who likes to study this kind of thing very much. He has bred a lot of deep-sea fish that the mermaid clan can eat."

Xiao Lou said: "Let's go back today, and I'll check this elder tomorrow. I'm worried that there will be problems with Teacher Qu."

Everyone had no opinion and left the starship collectively.

After returning to the deserted island, Xiao Lou asked Shao Qingge to contact Qu Wanyue, and soon, Qu Wanyue's face appeared on the screen projected by Mr. Shao's communicator. Tail, couldn't help being surprised: "Why did you collectively become mermaids? Did you use Xiao Liu's card?"

Xiao Loudao: "I found the mermaid family in the deep sea through the investigation. By the way, Mr. Qu, have you found any abnormalities in following Zhang Shaohua in the past few days? The three of them may be replicants."

Qu Wanyue was stunned: "Replicator? I just wanted to tell you that Zhang Shaohua always had dull eyes, rarely communicated with Lin Yan and General Lin, and didn't even know her daughter Lin Yan. I was dazed in the sun in the yard, but last night, I hid her chameleon card in her bedroom and observed her all night, and found that she actually had frequent nightmares!"

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang glanced at each other—a nightmare?

If Zhang Shaohua is a clone and has not received human education, then she should be a fool without any worries, why would she have frequent nightmares?

Qu Wanyue said: "Besides, when she woke up in the middle of the night, she still shouted 'Yan Yan'. Although it was only once, I heard it very clearly... What's going on? She didn't know Lin Yan during the day, why did she dream? Lin Yan's name was called out?"

Xiao Lou took a deep breath and suddenly thought of a possibility.

People can control their emotions, even pretend to be stupid, but dreams are the only ones that cannot be controlled.

Therefore, Zhang Shaohua of Capital Star should be real.

Only two female bones were found on the starship, one was 5-year-old Lin Yan, and the other was the same age as Zhang Shaohua, but she and Lin Yan were very far away, not like a close mother and daughter.

Sensing the crisis, Zhang Shaohua asked her husband to take their daughter away first, and she stayed in Capital Star?

Or did she switch identities with the replicant, pretending to be stupid for so many years, and wanted to wait for an opportunity?
