Chapter 68: Big Deals
Char came to the door of the ward, looked through the crack in the door, and saw Emily inserting the carnation in her hand into the vase at the head of the bed, hugging Locke tightly.
Locke's hair was burned by the fire, and his bald head was wrapped in a white bandage, and he hugged his daughter tightly, tears falling uncontrollably.
These are the tears of the rest of my life after the catastrophe, and the tears of the reunion of my loved ones!
Char looked at this scene outside the door, not moved, but shuddered.
Only Char knows that Emily, who Locke is holding, is definitely not his daughter!
As for what Emily is in front of her?
Char didn't know.
Perhaps Sequence 3 "The Pretender" disguises herself as Emily.
Maybe a robot in human skin.
Maybe an android.
Even Emily has a twin!
It's all possible!
Char didn't recognize it.
But even Locke, who is a father, didn't recognize that Emily in front of him was not his daughter, which is very intriguing.
"Char, who is that?"
Susanna's voice suddenly sounded behind Char.
Suzanne didn't go far, but hid around the corner, quietly watching Char, waiting for him to enter the hospital room and explain to Locke.
Suzanne also saw Emily, who had "come back from the dead", walk into the hospital room, and then walked over with a frightened face and asked Char about it.
"How do I know..."
Char frowned slightly, "First of all, you have to determine whether she is human or not!" ”
"It's people. I could feel her body temperature, there were no gears turning in her body, there was the sound of blood flowing. "Susanna's Hunter Sequence's Anomalous Person, with extremely keen senses, immediately determined that Emily was not a robot.
Xia Xingchen pulled Suzanne to the empty ward next door and said in a low voice, "Is there still no news from St. Mary's College?" Even the Silverwing Hunter Guild hasn't received any news? ”
Three days ago, Char and Suzanne took the seriously injured Locke out of the closed Santa Maria College through the sewers and sent Locke to the best hospital in Hope City, Gaia Hospital.
Although the two of them have not left the hospital and have been taking care of Locke in the hospital, they have been following the progress of the incident at Santa Maria College through the Internet.
It stands to reason that more than 100 female high school students died tragically in the nuclear shelter under the academy, and it is impossible for the upper echelons of the academy to hold it down!
After all, these female high school students all come from prominent families and come from wealthy families.
Their parents are lawyers, politicians, wealthy businessmen, doctors... There are people with heads and faces in the upper city of Hope City.
St. Mary's College was suddenly closed, even if the news was completely blocked, in three days, these parents should have been impatient and let the police intervene in this incident!
The Internet was calm, except for the news that Santa Maria College was undergoing circuit and network maintenance, and the college was temporarily closed.
What shocked Char and Suzanne even more was that news came from Silverwing that the closure of Santa Maria College had been lifted this morning!
"The school of Santa Maria College is not afraid that the tragic death of the student will be exposed and become a scandal, which will discredit this century-old school?" Char looked shocked.
"I don't understand either... The school must have thought of a response. However, people cannot be resurrected after death, and more than 100 students were infected with the nightmare virus and died tragically, and the school cannot escape the blame! Suzanne shook her head, she couldn't figure it out either.
"The answer lies in Emily." Char rubbed his chin in his hand, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and a possibility came to mind.
"Dad, it's time for you to change your dressing, I'll call Miss Nurse over." In the ward, Emily saw that the infusion bottle was about to bottom out, and said obediently.
"Okay." Locke nodded.
For some reason, Locke felt that his daughter was back a year ago.
At that time, my daughter was still so well-behaved and cute.
In just one year, his adolescent daughter became rebellious and often talked back to him, much to Locke's distress.
"Fortunately, after this incident, my daughter has changed back to her previous appearance! It's just that she seems to be stimulated and doesn't remember what happened some time ago. It's okay if you don't remember... Those horrible nightmares shouldn't have been in my daughter's memory. ”
Locke was lying on his hospital bed with a sweet smile on his face.
Emily had just walked out of the hospital room when she was stopped by Char and Susanna.
She looked surprised and asked, "What are you doing?" Do I know you? ”
Suzanne was surprised: "Sure enough, it's not Emily before, she doesn't even know us." ”
Char didn't speak, pursed his lips, and a coin appeared on his fingertip and bounced high!
Hypnosis!
Bite...
As the coin flew into the air, Emily's eyes became hollow and she fell into a deep sleep.
Char grabs Emily's hand and doesn't find the android's barcode on her wrist.
Char's gaze fell on Emily's head, where there were no dreams, a blank space!
"I see."
Char flicked the coin again, relieved Emily's hypnosis, and walked away quickly under the surprised gaze of the other party.
"Char, what do you understand?"
Suzanne followed Char to the stairwell.
"She's an android. A bionic human cloned from Emily cells. Emily's memories were instilled in her brain. She thought she was Emily. Androids can't dream until they awaken to their self-awareness. I can't see her dreams. Char paced back and forth in the stairwell, speaking her judgment.
"Android... But she doesn't have a droid barcode on her wrist. Suzanne was surprised.
"She's an unregistered android." Char rubbed her temples, "There is no doubt that Emily's existence is illegal!" Once discovered, she will be humanely destroyed. Susanna, you use Silverwing's network to check if the girls who died in the shelter, such as Vanessa, have also gone home. ”
"Hmm." Suzanne immediately connected to the network of the Silverwing Hunter Guild to investigate the girls' information.
To Susanna's shock, the girl who died in the underground shelter three days ago did indeed return home early this morning to meet her family.
"Generous! That's a lot of money! ”
Char clenched his fists tightly, his face turned red and said, "In three days, more than a hundred girls have been cloned!" The upper echelons of Santa Maria College had long expected a similar incident to occur. In the name of a physical examination, the students' blood was taken, their genes were extracted, and their memories were backed up! How much does it cost? It's impossible to estimate at all! ”
"Indeed... It is impossible to estimate. Suzanne looked shocked, if Char's conjecture was true. Santa Maria College spent a lot of money this time to force down this vicious incident.
"Terrible... It's horrible. Your loved ones, friends... The closest person around me, suddenly one day, became an outlier! It's horrible. Maybe... In our society, there are many people who have long since died and have been replaced by androids. It was made into a marionette by the people behind the scenes! ”
Char came up with a conjecture, and at the same time he was frightened by his own conjecture!
Because this conjecture is likely to be the reality!
