【Chapter 441, The Mermaid Prince】

Ye Qi suddenly thought of a more terrifying result. He looked at Xiao Lou and said, "Professor Xiao, if the mermaid tribe is still studying replicants as you said, since they can get cells from Brother Nine and Mr. Tang , and let the cells grow into adults in a short period of time, then they can also copy Liu Qiao, Senior Gui and Lao Mo!"

Xiao Lou also thought of this, and his face became even more ugly: "You are right, after all, Xiao Liu, Lao Mo and Senior Gui are all in the Mermaid Clan, so it is not difficult to take their cells to replicate."

Tang Ci frowned and asked: "Who else in our team has not been copied?"

Yu Hanjiang said: "My memory from childhood to adulthood is very clear. Except for going to the military academy at the age of 18, I have never left Capital Star at other times, and I have not been to the hospital for examination. Theoretically, they should not be able to get me. Cell."

Lu Jiuchuan said: "And Huaying, she has been a star thief since she was a child, and has been wandering around the universe with the starship Dark Night. She has never landed on any human planet, so it is difficult to be copied."

Xiao Loudao: "Long Sen and Qu Wanyue stayed on Capital Star since they were young. Their parents are very ordinary people and have nothing to do with the Noah's Ark project. The two of them should not have been copied."

Shao Qingge joked: "There are 12 people in our team, only 4 have not been copied, and the remaining 8 may have pirated copies, so this time, the secret room is actually a 'fight against piracy games', right? "

Everyone: "..."

At this time, Mr. Shao still has the time to joke around. Everyone believes that this is definitely the genuine version of Mr. Shao.

Xiao Lou opened the contract book, confirmed the names of his teammates again, heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "Fortunately, the names of all 12 people are on the contract book. No matter whether they are copied or not, at least everyone is alive."

Yu Hanjiang frowned and said, "Long Sen and Qu Wanyue are safe for the time being. Hua Ying is the leader of the Star Bandits, so nothing will happen. What is worrying is Liu Qiao, Senior Gui and Lao Mo. Liu Qiao has lost consciousness. We I have to confirm my identity with Senior Gui as soon as possible, and I have plans for the future."

Lu Jiuchuan thought for a while, and suddenly said: "By the way, the hunters can find our information, but they can't know what we talked about in private. The only way to make Lao Gui believe us is to say that only we know , but a secret that cannot be found out from any channel.”

Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci looked at each other and quickly reached a tacit understanding.

Tang Ci came to Shao Qingge's side, leaned over and whispered to Mr. Shao: "When I was trapped in the maze and chatting, Mr. Gui told me and Brother Nine that he was a calligrapher in name, but in fact he loved Chinese painting more in private. In the third grade of elementary school, the paintings he practiced painting were sold online and earned 400 yuan.

Shao Qingge channeled his heart and soul to Guilao and said: "Senior Gui, Tang Ci told me that the painting you practiced in the third grade of elementary school was hung on the Internet and sold for 300 yuan. Do you remember what you painted at that time?"

Gui Yuanzhang's deep voice sounded in his mind: "It's 400 yuan, plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum."

Shao Qingge nodded towards Tang Ci: "That's right."

Tang Ci breathed a sigh of relief: "It's true, even his parents don't know about it."

Gui Yuanzhang was puzzled: "Is Tang Ci next to you? Then what I saw today?"

Shao Qingge said: "The Nine Brothers you saw, Tang Ci, Xiao Lou, Shao Qingge, and Ye Qi are all clones cultivated with cells. Didn't Senior Gui realize that something was wrong?"

Gui Yuanzhang thought about it carefully, and said: "Professor Xiao said at the beginning that his card bag was stolen, Mr. Shao and Ye Qi also cannot use cards, and Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci are still lying in the treatment room, comatose Unable to wake up. Xiao Lou explained that the S-level secret room is very difficult, and this must be the arrangement of the gatekeeper."

Shao Qingge frowned and relayed Gui Lao's words to Xiao Lou.

Xiao Lou said helplessly: "This duplicant is very smart. We had a teammate who was unconscious for several days in the tenth level. He used the 'arrangement of the gatekeeper' to explain that the card bag was stolen and the teammate was unconscious. It is really easy to believe. .”

In the tenth level, Shao Qingge was in a coma until the third day, and some secret rooms were forbidden cards. If you understand all of this as "a plot deliberately set by the gatekeepers to increase the difficulty", then you don't know "copying" at all. Under the premise that people exist”, why do teammates have any reason to doubt?

As long as they don't reveal too much, the three of Liu Qiao will soon follow their rhythm, trust them.

Xiao Loudao; "Ask seniors, what have they been doing these days?"

Shao Qingge asked in his mind: "Senior, what have you been doing these few days when you entered the secret room? Except for Brother Nine and Tang Ci who are unconscious, are Xiao Lou, Shao Qingge, and Ye Qi normal?"

Gui Yuanzhang said: "There is nothing abnormal on the surface. Everyone has been investigating the human bones on the sunken ship. Xiao Lou used the knowledge of forensic science to deduce that there were 8 men and 2 women in those bones. The time of death was 20 years ago. The cause of death was drowning in the shipwreck. Since this ship is a military spaceship, and the pattern printed on it does not resemble the emblem of the Azure Empire, we currently conclude that this ship is from another country, and other clues are under investigation."

Shao Qingge glanced at Xiao Lou with a complicated expression, and said in a low voice, "That replicant of yours actually knows forensic anatomy knowledge, no wonder Liu Qiao and the others trust that Xiao Lou so much."

Xiao Lou: "..."

Just imagine, a person who is 99% similar to Xiao Lou in appearance, voice, expression, and movements can quickly analyze the characteristics of human bones, the cause of death, and even

To speculate on the origin of the shipwreck...

He said that the card pack was stolen, would the teammates still doubt it?

Yu Hanjiang was keenly aware that something was wrong, he said: "Xiao Lou doesn't necessarily know forensic anatomy, it's more likely that he knew these people on the sunken ship, he knew how these people died, and of course he could tell their gender, The cause of death, the time of death, and the origin of the shipwreck can make Liu Qiao and others trust his ability to investigate the case, and mistakenly think that he is Xiao Lou."

Xiao Lou also suddenly realized: "The plan to raise Gu 20 years ago caused most of the copied children to die, and the few who survived were all elites. No one has seen Xiaolou No. 4, maybe someone took care of it at that time. He escaped from the palace and fled to the blue planet? The shipwreck encountered an accident in the sea, everyone else died, but the clone survived?"

Shao Qingge said: "Humans are afraid of water, but Zergs are not afraid of water. Duplicants have Zerg genes, maybe they also inherited this advantage? They can stay on the bottom of the sea without breathing for a long time."

This sentence shook Xiao Lou's spirit: "So the three clones Xiao Lou, Shao Qingge, and Ye Qi can stay on the bottom of the sea forever!"

Yu Hanjiang carefully stroked his train of thought, and said: "Suppose someone from the military headquarters secretly took No. 4 Xiao Lou out of the palace, and fled to the blue planet with the clones of Shao Qingge and Ye Qi. Here we encountered a sea vortex. The spaceship fell into the deep sea, and the others were drowned, but Xiao Lou, Shao Qingge, and Ye Qi, who had Zerg genes in their bodies, survived."

Xiao Lou added: "When this group of people fled, they took all the information related to the replicators with them. The shipwreck just happened to allow the Zerg to obtain the information of the Noah's Ark project and continue to carry out research in the deep sea?"

If this speculation is true, all the current clues can be connected in series.

The sunken ship and human bones in the deep sea that Gui Lao and the others encountered were the bones of the scientific researchers of the Luke Empire and some military officials who fled with the clones. Those people fled the empire in a hurry, probably because they realized that His Majesty's plan was too crazy, and they would definitely kill them to silence them, so they took a few replicants and all the materials and fled...

As a result, they encountered a sea vortex, and all human beings died, but the three replicants survived.

At that time, Xiao Lou, Shao Qingge, and Ye Qi theoretically all had the body of 5 years old and the IQ of a baby. The mermaid tribe may have taken a fancy to the replicant information they brought and were very interested in this plan, so the three The replicants are raised to adulthood. Otherwise, how could the three of them have been living in the deep sea territory of the mermaid clan?

Xiao Lou looked at Shao Qingge: "Ask seniors about their identities in the mermaid clan."

Shao Qingge immediately asked: "Senior, what identities are assigned to the teammates you met?"

Gui Yuanzhang said: "Xiao Lou is the prince of the mermaid tribe, Liu Qiao is his sister, the mermaid princess; Shao Qingge and Ye Qi are Xiao Lou's friends. Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci were rescued by Xiao Lou when he went out half a year ago Human beings, Lao Mo is the architect of the mermaid clan, and I am the elder of the mermaid clan."

While listening, Shao Qingge simultaneously relayed the story to his teammates.

At the end, Lu Jiuchuan couldn't help but said: "So, the one who saved us on the Zerg planet was Xiao Lou's clone?"

Tang Ci nodded and said: "He has lived in the mermaid clan for more than 20 years, and he has learned the mind-disturbing mermaid song. At the same time, he still has the Zerg gene in his body, so he can understand the Zerg voice, so he can talk to the Zerg queen?"

At that time, the Queen of the Zerg was out of anger and vowed to let all the members of the army led by Lu Jiuchuan be buried with her. If someone could not communicate with her and dispel her anger, how could she let them go so easily?

Knows the mermaid song, human language, and Zerg language...

Xiao Lou helped his forehead helplessly: "This replicant is much better than me."

The clone is stronger than the real one, this is probably what His Majesty wants to see the most, right? According to the principle of survival of the fittest, this Xiao Lou is the best candidate to inherit the throne-his body will not be injured, not to mention the skin, even the internal organs can automatically repair; he is not afraid of water, and he walks on the ground in the deep sea; , can confuse people's minds; he also has a very high IQ.

Ye Qi couldn't help complaining: "This replicant is using a sci-fi male lead script, not to mention inheriting the throne of the Luo Ke Empire, he can also inherit the throne of the Mermaid Race, destroy the Azure Empire by the way, make friends with the Zerg Race, and dominate the interstellar world." It's not a dream."

Shao Qingge smiled lightly and touched his nose: "Unfortunately, the one who took the male lead's script is our deadly enemy——The Hunter."

Everyone: "..."

This is depressing!

Genuine Xiao Lou, how can he compete with this hunter who took the script of the male protagonist of Interstellar Shuangwen?

Let alone going to the deep sea, Xiao Lou can't swim, and he can drown in 5 minutes in the sea. He also doesn't have the ability to repair his body. Minor injuries will hurt, and serious injuries will kill him.

Xiao Lou pressed his temples helplessly: "If we want to get rid of this Xiao Lou of the mermaid tribe, we must first find out who the mermaid tribe is helping him forge his identity. He is a clone, how did he become the prince of the mermaid tribe?"

Ye Qi asked curiously, "Does he have a mermaid tail? Wouldn't it be revealing if he didn't have a tail?"

Shao Qingge simply asked Gui Lao: "Senior, do the Xiao Lou, Shao Qingge, and Ye Qi you saw have tails?"

Gui Yuanzhang said: "The mermaids have already evolved two legs that can walk. When they were in the mermaid palace, they would use their legs to walk normally like humans. But when they go out to sea, they will grow the iconic tail of the mermaids. , Mermaids with tails can swim at almost 200 kilometers an hour in the sea.”

This is simply faster than a sports car!

Shao Qingge looked at everyone with a complicated expression: "Gui Lao said that Xiao, Shao, and Ye all have tails."

Ye Qi felt a chill down his spine

, couldn't help reaching out and touching the back of his tailbone... Ahem, he couldn't imagine what it would be like to grow a fish tail? He really wanted to meet the copied mermaid Ye Qi.

Tang Ci was thoughtful: "Have a tail? In other words, these few are likely to be replicants version 2.0?"

*****

[Chapter 442, Upgraded Duplicant]

version 2.0? Tang Ci's words made everyone stunned.

In version 1.0 of replicants, human cells are fused with Zerg genes, and gain the ability of Zerg to develop rapidly by relying on creep, and the body can grow and mature in a short period of time. At the same time inherited the Zerg repair ability.

Duplicant version 2.0, on the basis of 1.0, has been upgraded and integrated with mermaid genes, can sing mermaid songs that confuse people's hearts, and grow a mermaid tail?

Yu Hanjiang said with a sullen face: "Suppose the mermaid tribe also had a mastermind behind the scenes who was as crazy as Xiao Lou's father. All the information about the Noah’s Ark project, so he brought the three replicants back to the mermaid clan, upgraded and transformed version 2.0 based on the existing data, and then killed the real prince of the mermaid clan, making the 2.0 version of Xiao Lou a The successor of the mermaid clan."

Xiao Lou was about to explode: "It seems that the Xiao Lou that Liu Qiao and the others saw was not No. 4 who escaped from the empire, but No. 5 after the upgrade? This No. 5 Xiao Lou is a fusion of humans, Zergs, and mermaids." Not only is it not afraid of sea water, but it also has the tail of the mermaid family, so it can travel at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour in the deep sea?"

Everyone: "..."

Lu Jiuchuan complained: "Replicants can fucking upgrade and transform, just like the release of version 1.0 and version 2.0 of the mobile phone system! Will there be 3.0 in the future? Is the mind of the gatekeeper a bottomless pit?"

Tang Ci said calmly: "No matter how many versions there are, at present, Guilao and the others must have encountered advanced clones who have integrated the excellent genes of the three races. If we want to solve these version 2.0, we must first go to the deep sea."

Xiao Loudao: "We are all ordinary human beings, and we can't survive 5 minutes in the water. If we want to go to the deep sea, we can only use Liu Qiao's [Mermaid Princess] card, but now Liu Qiao is under control...Let Gui Lao think of a way. "

Shao Qingge nodded, and relayed all Xiao Lou's meaning to Gui Lao.

Gui Yuanzhang said: "Okay, I'll find Liu Qiao right away."

In order to avoid the hurricane at sea, Xiao Lou and the others relied on various card skills to escape, and found a floating broken wooden boat nearby.

At this moment, the six of them stood on the boat, shivering from the night wind at sea.

This wooden boat is obviously a local fisherman's boat. It's very simple. The people on board have all died. Ye Qi was soaked in the sea water just now. When he was blown by the sea breeze while his body was soaked, it felt like wearing short-sleeved clothes in the bitterly cold winter. Just like on the street, he couldn't help wrinkling his nose and sneezing a few times.

Xiao Lou was also very cold, so he simply summoned Bai Juyi, and quickly made some temporary hand warmers with compasses.

Lu Jiuchuan took the hand warmer he handed over, and sighed: "The cards can still be used like this..."

Ye Qi said with a smile: "Ninth Brother, you will get used to it soon. Our Professor Xiao always uses Bai Juyi to make a fire for the stove, and we even use white silk cards to make parasols!"

Lu Jiuchuan gave Xiao Lou a thumbs up.

Each person holds a hand warmer, and everyone is much more comfortable, standing on the sea and waiting can be tolerated.

Xiao Loudao: "Mr. Shao, keep in touch with Mr. Gui."

Shao Qingge's face darkened: "Gui Lao said that the 5th is here."

Xiao Lou's back tensed suddenly: "Let Mr. Gui be careful, don't be controlled like Liu Qiao!"

At this time, in the mermaid palace.

There was a knock on the door outside, but Gui Yuanzhang did not respond. He quickly drew a picture with a brush and threw it on the bed. At the same time, he put on the invisibility cloak and waited and watched.

The door was gently pushed open, and Xiao Lou walked in.

The vaulted palace of the Mermaid Palace is surrounded by sea water, and there are many colorful fish swimming around outside, just like the real Atlantis underwater hotel.

Gui Yuanzhang held his breath, and saw that Xiao Lou walked to the bedside where he was sleeping, a silver light flashed on his fingertips, and the "dummy" on the bed immediately stopped moving.

Gui Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes suddenly.

His strongest cards are pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. In fact, these four cards can be used together. Just like the legend of "Ma Liang", what is painted becomes what it is. Although it can only last for 2 hours, it is enough to distinguish the real one from the real one.

Gui Yuanzhang has been calligraphy since elementary school, and is also a master of fine arts. He just drew a picture of himself with extremely fast hands, so the one lying on the bed at this time is actually Gui Yuanzhang drawn by him.

Xiao Lou did not know how to stun the person on the bed, and then, Gui Yuanzhang saw him get up the old man on the bed, turned around and walked out quickly. The normally smiling, kind and gentle Xiao Lou, at this moment, his eyes seemed to be frozen, his gaze was terribly cold, and the smile when the corners of his mouth curled up made people shudder.

It's hard to imagine such a terrifying expression on Xiao Lou's face.

Gui Yuanzhang held his breath all the time, and after he left, the brush in Gui Yuanzhang's hand drew a series of wind-like tracks, he went out quickly, and came to Lao Mo's residence after several consecutive turns.

Liu Qiao has been controlled, the second is him, and the third is definitely Lao Mo!

It was already past two o'clock in the morning, and Mo Xuemin was sleeping soundly. Suddenly, the door was pushed open gently.

Holding the weapon, I heard Senior Gui's voice next to my ear: "Go, it's dangerous!"

Before Mo Xuemin could ask further questions, Gui Yuanzhang dragged him and drew an arc-shaped trajectory under his feet with a brush, and the two of them flew out of the residence like the wind.

As the elder of the mermaid tribe, Gui Yuanzhang knows a secret sea area that few members of the tribe go to. When they walked out of the Mermaid Palace, two long tails suddenly appeared behind them, and they swam to the back of a remote reef in the deep sea at an extremely fast speed.

Surrounded by colorful corals, Lao Mo had no intention of admiring the beauty of the deep sea, and said frightenedly, "Senior, what's going on? You suddenly pulled me out?"

Gui Yuanzhang asked: "I remember you have a daughter?"

Mo Xuemin was puzzled, but he still replied: "My daughter is only in middle school, which is why I must find a way to go back. Her mother passed away very early, and she only has me as a relative."

Gui Yuanzhang said: "Are all the cards here?"

Mo Xuemin: "They're all here... What's going on?"

Gui Yuanzhang confirmed that Mo Xuemin in front of him was real, so he quickly summed up what Shao Qingge said.

Mo Xuemin's face was ugly: "What? Duplicant?!"

Gui Yuanzhang said: "The theme of this secret room is not the 'investigation of the shipwreck accident' that Xiao Lou told us, but gene duplication. The Xiao Lou, Shao Qingge, Ye Qi, Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci we saw before are all fake Yes, the real teammates are all together now, they checked the clones and found the mermaids, but they can't swim, they can't go into the sea."

Lao Mo was full of confusion: "Replicators? Then how can you be sure that they are real?"

Gui Yuanzhang said: "I told Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci something about my childhood, only the three of us knew about it, and we all matched up just now. In addition, Zhen Xiaolou and Yu Hanjiang were together, and Shao Qingge just used I have a tacit understanding, and Xiao Lou has been communicating with him by the side, and they have confirmed each other's identities."

Thinking of getting along with Xiao Lou in the past few days, Mo Xuemin suddenly shivered: "No wonder! Professor Xiao said at the beginning that the card bag was lost, and Mr. Shao and Ye Qi didn't have any cards. I wondered why my card bag was still there. Are you here? Could it be that the gatekeepers picked people to arrange the plot? Now it seems that the three of them are fake, and they made up this excuse because they don't have any cards in their hands!"

Gui Yuanzhang said: "Just now that fake Xiao Lou sneaked into my bedroom and stunned the dummy I made. He will definitely go to your bedroom later. I also put a dummy on your bed, but, The effect of my magic brush Ma Liang only lasts for 2 hours, we are pressed for time and must find Liu Qiao within 2 hours."

Mo Xuemin was startled: "What happened to Liu Qiao?"

Gui Yuanzhang said: "Xiao Lou and the others tried to connect with Liu Qiao in the beginning, but when they were discovered by the fake Xiao Lou, he immediately took control of Liu Qiao. Now Liu Qiao is unconscious. Professor Xiao asked us to find her as soon as possible and get her [Mermaid Princess] card, only when all of them become mermaids can they go to sea to investigate."

Mo Xuemin realized the seriousness of the matter, and his face became extremely serious: "The Mermaid Palace is too big, Liu Qiao is definitely not in her own residence, we have to hurry up and find it!"

Gui Yuanzhang nodded: "Well, this Mermaid Palace is actually a maze. We have already discovered it in the past few days. After a few days of exploration, have you figured out the route of the maze?"

Mo Xuemin smiled wryly and said, "Senior thinks highly of me. This mermaid palace is the biggest maze I have ever encountered. It is about five times bigger than last week's Tomb of the Headless General. I have only figured out half of it so far." .Fortunately, the maze this time is not a three-dimensional multi-layer structure, so it will be easier to find the way than the three-dimensional maze.”

Gui Yuanzhang said: "It's not too late, look for Liu Qiao while looking for the road. After 2 hours, the dummy I made will be found. Not only will Xiao Liu be in danger, but both of us will not be able to escape!"
