21. New name
No. 1 looked melancholy when he heard this, and let out a long sigh: "I also want to know who I am, but I don't remember anything."
There are only a few scattered fragments in my memory, seeing myself being modified in an unknown laboratory, they implanted me with the genes of various animals for biochemical modification, injected nanometal into my body for mechanical enhancement, and finally became what I am now.
Their previous memories must have been erased by them, and there was no memory of my identity in my head other than knowing that my code name was One. ”
"Like a modified person from a science fiction movie?" Leah covered her mouth with her hands wide open because of shock, and the speculation about the government's secret experiments in the various movies she had seen before suddenly appeared in her mind: "The government's secret experiment project? Make super soldiers? Like Captain America during World War II? ”
"I just remember that the people in the base where I was transformed belonged to an organization called Xiuka."
Number One shook his head.
"Repair card?" Leah looked puzzled and guessed, "Terrorist organization? A secret research project of a large consortium. ”
Hearing this, Ryan showed a slight look of pity in his eyes, and looked at No. 1: "Young man, what are your plans for the future?" ”
No. 1 shook his head in distress, his eyes were blank: "I don't know, except for the use of weapons and vehicles and assassination techniques and fighting techniques that they instilled in my head, I don't know anything, I don't know where to go, and I don't know what I can do?" ”
When Leah heard this, she was inexplicably excited and said: "In this way, you can come to my house to live first, and if you want, you can come to my family's farm to work, including food and accommodation." ”
Transforming people, super soldiers, these elements from science fiction movies really appear in front of you, which makes Leah, a girl who is at an age full of fantasy adventures, very excited.
"Leah!" Ryan frowned slightly when he heard this, and glanced at Leah.
Although I don't know why the young man in front of me is here, if I rush to take him to my home, I am afraid that it will cause some unexpected trouble.
After all, if the man in front of him was really an experimental subject of a secret organization that carried out human body modification, for some reason, he escaped from the experimental base
The organization that reformed him would certainly search for him, and if he followed the traces to his home, he might pose a threat to his family.
Although Ryan is deeply sympathetic to the plight of the young man in front of him, the first thing to consider is the safety of his family, if there will be any unexpected trouble, Ryan can only send the young man in front of him to the police station to report the crime.
As for what kind of treatment No. 1 will have if he falls into the hands of the government and military as a reformed person, this is not something that Ryan can consider.
Leah stuck out her tongue when she heard this, and said, "What are you afraid of, as long as he doesn't show too much attention, will there be any accidents in our remote town where few outsiders will come?"
Besides, you can't just leave him here, right? He doesn't remember anything, he doesn't have identification, he doesn't have money, so we just ignore it? Then he's too pitiful, isn't he? ”
"Young man, do you remember how you left that base and got here?" Ryan twitched out of the corner of his eye, and asked One.
It's better to find out how he escaped first, and then decide what to do with it later.
One shook his head and spoke, "I remember it looked like someone had invaded my base, and then I was woken up to deal with the invaders, and then ...... I don't remember, I must have been defeated and thrown here?
By the way, what is this place? ”
Although he was thrown on the side of the road like garbage, Number One was still grateful to the person who threw him out.
At least he freed himself from the control of the Repair Crew, and One was able to perceive that the control and positioning system installed by the Repair Camp inside his body had also been destroyed and removed, so he no longer had to be a killing machine that was at the mercy of anyone else.
"It's in the Gobi Desert of southern New Mexico, and there's only one small town we live in. Could it be that somewhere in this desert there is a hidden biological experiment base of some secret organization? Ryan said with an ugly face.
Hearing this, No. 1's face changed: "The Shuka Institute is not in New Mexico...... Although I don't know the exact location coordinates of the Shuka base, I'm pretty sure it's in the northern part of the United States of America, in Montana, close to the border between the United States and Canada.
Although I lost consciousness after being defeated by the man who invaded the Shuka base, the interval between them was definitely not too long, and I ended up in New Mexico, thousands of miles away? ”
"Could it be that secret agents of the government dismantled the biochemical research institute of a terrorist organization? And then rescued you? Leah said again with a big brain.
"That's not supposed to be, if you're rescued by someone organized by the government, it should be taken over by the government."
"Since you were rescued by someone and then released here, as long as you don't reveal your identity, most likely no one will come to you for trouble."
Ryan, who was a little helpless about his daughter's words and deeds, said: "If you don't have anything you want to go, you can come to my house for a while." ”
Whether it was the government's secret experiment department or the secret experiment project of a big consortium, this young man who had undergone various human modifications was defeated and taken away by the attackers.
The attacker apparently had no ill will towards him, perhaps by destroying the base for illegal human experimentation.
Even if the Xiuka organization that transformed the young man in front of him wanted to find the rescued modified human test subject, it could only carry out activities in secret, no matter what, it was absolutely impossible to carry out the transformation experiment on the human body openly.
And if you want to find it, you will go to the attacker first, and you won't think that your test subject is hiding in an ordinary remote town in the southwest.
In other words, as long as the young man in front of him did not show his abnormality too obviously and caused too much of a sensation, no one should notice that there was an ordinary young man in a remote town in the southwest region.
Ryan Winster is still very sympathetic to the fact that No. 1 was subjected to human experiments and the cleansing of the memory tract.
The Xiuka organization that transformed him obviously wanted to turn the young man in front of him into a walking biological weapon, which was not humane at all.
The people who attacked the base where this young man was located may have attacked the base because they couldn't get used to the inhumane human modification experiments carried out in that secret base.
Putting this human-modified young man on the side of the road near the Gobi town may be to keep him away from the big city, avoid exposing his tracks, and be able to live a normal life in the future.
After thinking about it, Ryan felt that as long as this young man didn't expose anything special in public, the Xiuka organization that secretly carried out human body modification would most likely not come to the door, so out of a sense of justice in his heart and sympathy for this young man who had been cleansed of his memory.
Ryan decides to take One to his home for the time being.
"Great, I knew Dad, you wouldn't leave it alone." Leah said happily.
"Do you remember your name?" Ryan gave the cheerful daughter a speechless glance and asked One.
"I don't remember at all, I just remember that they gave me the code name One." No. 1 thought for a long time, and then his eyes showed a look of loneliness, and he spoke.
"These guys are too much, too cruel!" Hearing this, Leah still scolded with some indignation: "It's completely about transforming people into a utensil for them to use!" ”
Ryan sighed and spoke, "Since you've forgotten your old name, why don't you give yourself a new name?" ”
After hearing this, No. 1 was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "I have almost no memory of anything in my memory, except for the various skills related to fighting, killing, driving, and weapons that they instilled in me, the languages and customs of all parts of the world, and ............the characteristics of the geographical environment.
Why don't you give me a new name? ”
"Why don't you call it Clark Kent!" Leah's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she seemed to be a little impatient, and said directly.
"Clark Kent?" Ryan looked at Leah suspiciously.
"Clark Kent!" Leah said with a look of excitement.
"Clark Kent?" No. 1 still didn't know why when he heard this, and he had a question on his face.
Ryan reacted and laughed: "Superman." That's a great name, what do you think? ”
"Superman? Be......? Number One still looked puzzled, and he couldn't understand.
"Clark Kent (Superman) was the first superhero in the history of comics. His real name is Kal-El, and he was born on the planet Krypton. As Krypton faced destruction, his parents sent him to Earth via a spaceship.
Upon arriving on Earth, Carl was picked up by the farmers Kent and his wife, and raised by the Earth name Clark Kent.
Growing up, Clark became a journalist for Metropolis's Daily Planet.
He has innate superpowers and a strong sense of justice and compassion, and every time in a moment of crisis, he puts on a blue tights and a red cloak, and incarnates as a superman to stand up and act chivalrous to save the world.
Superman is one of the greatest superheroes in comics. Leah explained in detail.
"That's just from the comics, it's still not as good as Captain America." Ryan heard his daughter's worship of Superman and couldn't help but interject.
"Captain America?" Number One heard a new term, and listening to Ryan's tone, it seemed that it was different from Superman in the comics, and it was a superhero who actually existed in reality.
"If you're interested in that, there's time to get to know it later.
But now it's a name for you, what do you think of the name Clark Kent? Ryan began.
"Superman, hero?" Number One whispered to himself.
My heart moved slightly, and a word suddenly jumped out of my heart inexplicably, and I felt a burst of joy for no reason, as if I was confused, and I saw the light of the future in the darkness, and my eyes lit up and said: "That's my name, and I'll be called Clark Kent in the future!" Kamen Rider One - Clark Kent. ”
"Alright, I'll call you Kent from now on." Leah was quite happy, smiled brightly and stretched out her hand to speak: "Meet me, my name is Leah Winster, this is my father, Ryan." ”
"Nice to meet you." Kent replied with a smile.
