Chapter 82 I Am Who I Am

Ziyue cried for a few minutes and then suddenly stopped, which confused me. She wiped her tears and said in a very calm tone: "Okay, am I okay?"

I looked at her in surprise. "Do you usually cry like this?"

"No." Ziyue shook her head. "I will cry only when something very serious happens to me. But I don't have sex, so I just have to stop crying."

sweat! He really has a cheerful personality!

"Let's look at what's next, shall we?" Ziyue said to me.

I quickly nodded and pressed the switch on the computer to continue displaying the analysis data. The next part is a comparison of my genes and Lin Yue's genes, and the results are completely different. The current results show that Lin Yue is the daughter of their parents, but a DNA rearrangement related to her appearance was done before she was born, and Lin Yue's parents are both normal natural persons. Another result is that Ziyue and I have no blood relationship with Lin Yue and her parents.

The analysis results are quite surprising. I originally thought Lin Yue was one of us, but now it seems that Lin Yue is a natural person. There is a big difference between DNA correction and artificial humans. Lin Yue is still a normal person.

Ziyue looked at the screen and said, "I'm very strange."

"Is there anything wrong?"

"Now it seems that I am not my parents' daughter, but why is Xiaoyue...? The two of us grew up together, and we also have some telepathy!"

I explained: "You are most likely an implanted embryo, and Lin Yue is the result of natural reproduction. In order to disguise you two as twins, Lin Yue's DNA was specially modified. I guess this is the reason why her DNA has been modified. Reason. As for telepathy, I think it’s just because you have a tacit understanding after living together for a long time.”

"Then you can compare our DNA and see if we have any similarities."

"OK."

The computer analyzed it for a long time, and the data that came out surprised us but was also reasonable. Ziyue and I both have completely synthetic characteristics in our DNA, and our DNA is almost identical except for the part responsible for gender-related content.

"Congratulations on having a sister." Ziyue actually had the heart to joke.

"We still can't decide who is bigger!"

"Go!" Ziyue looked at the data on the screen and said, "So we are twins?"

"I think so!"

To be honest, this result is not very surprising. Before the experiment, I suspected that this was the most likely result. Suddenly a question came to mind. "Ziyue, listen to me. Now I want you to answer my question. It must be accurate, okay?"

"What's the problem? Tell me?"

"Have you ever seen a red moon?" Ziyue's suddenly dilated pupils and wide-open mouth answered my question. Without waiting for her answer, she immediately asked: "Have you really seen it?"

Ziyue nodded nervously. "Since I was eight years old, I can see the red moon hanging in the sky every cloudy and rainy night. I told others about it when I was a child, but they all said I was lying. Everyone said that the weather was only There are clouds, but I can see the moon.”

"follow me."

He turned off the experimenter and pulled Ziyue and quickly ran to the base. There was no need to hide anything now, the results had come out, and it didn't matter if dad knew about it. Ziyue followed me and kept asking me what I wanted to do, but I just said it was important. In fact, I want to take her to check the situation in more detail. The instruments here are not enough to complete these tasks.

When the two of us ran through the door, the guard's eyes widened when he saw us. They knew me, but seeing Ziyue and me standing together confused them. I had no time to pay attention to them, so I took out my electronic card and opened the gate and rushed straight into the base. Avoid the main passage and go directly down to the work area from the dedicated elevator. Anyway, my security level is enough to activate any equipment here.

After getting out of the elevator, I pulled Ziyue and ran towards the virus experimental center. Everyone who saw us along the way widened their eyes in surprise. Although I am no longer as feminine as before due to b13, Ziyue's appearance is still too close to mine. Everyone’s first reaction when they saw us was: “I never heard that the president has a daughter!”

When we entered the experimental area, we first changed into dustproof clothing, and then passed through the seven-pass disinfection room and entered. I directly dragged Ziyue to the chief executive's experimental table. The old guy looked up and was stunned for a moment, then looked at the two of us in surprise. "Master, who is this...?"

"Don't ask about this yet. I can't confirm her identity yet. Please do me a favor first."

"Please say."

"follow me."

He took the two of them one by one and ran to the human body scanning room. There is a super detector worth 179 billion yuan, which can conduct a comprehensive analysis of living organisms. Its function is more powerful than that of a large general hospital. The only disadvantage is that it is too expensive. . Usually this thing is used to analyze experimental data, but now I have another use. Pushing Ziyue onto the examination table, the mechanical clasp automatically fixed her body. I told her not to move, and then I took the research director to the display wall to look at the data.

"What on earth do you want me to do?"

I pointed at Ziyue: "See if there is any virus on her body."

"What virus are you talking about? If it's a cold virus or something like that, there's no need to analyze it. I guarantee it is there."

"b13. See if there is b13."

"What did you say?" This old guy was also one of the several participants in the b13 plan back then, so he knew the significance of b13. "Are you kidding?"

"Would I come out here and joke with you like that?"

The old guy finally realized the seriousness of the problem, and he immediately began to dictate the manipulation to the display wall. This machine is a bit expensive, but its functions are unparalleled. It has complete voice operation, automatic auxiliary analysis, and can perform on-site surgeries when necessary. Everything is possible.

"Extract blood samples, inject biological test chips, and analyze the components."

A female voice replied elegantly: "The operation is in progress. Sample extraction is completed. ... Biochip input is completed... Rotation analysis begins... The components of the test sample have been analyzed. Do you need me to report in detail? ?”

"Check the database, check the virus signature database, and check whether there are macromolecular viruses."

"The data verification is completed. 13,797 common viruses and 243 special viruses were found to meet the requirements."

The research director thought for a moment and then said: "Mark all virus samples with a ball chain length longer than '9, start the tunnel scanner, and give me photos of all the samples."

"Seven species were found to meet the standards, and the separation operation is in progress. ... The separation is completed, the tunnel scanner is started, and the photo results will be input to the display wall."

Seven photos flashed on the wall to our side. In my opinion, they were not much different from Picasso's paintings, but the researcher could understand them. After a while, he said: "Enlarge samples No. 3 and No. 5 three times and display them."

"Enlargement completed."

"Carry out dynamic shooting of No. 5."

"Live transmission begins."

The screen turned into a dynamic picture, and a very weird-looking thing appeared on the display wall. This little thing looks a bit like an octopus, with many tentacles on its body, about thirty or so. There is a yellowish substance in the center of this thing, and you can't tell what it is. Suddenly something like ice cream swam by. The little octopus moved like lightning and caught the thing swimming by. Then there was something unexpected. The octopus-like thing grabbed out a purple thing in the center of the "ice cream" and ate it, and then threw the "ice cream" that had stopped moving aside.

The research director's face no longer looked good, and his mouth was open enough to fit a duck egg in. "How can this be!"

I asked: "This octopus-like thing is b13?"

"Yes, that's it."

"Then what did it just eat?"

"A bacterium called Quyuanella."

"Isn't it right? Viruses shouldn't be as big as bacteria, right?"

"B13 is a man-made virus, which is different from natural viruses. We can only create such a big virus. No matter how small it is, it will be difficult to operate."

"Is it okay if this thing eats it?"

"It's okay. Quyuan bacteria is a type of bacteria that can easily induce disease. If there are too many of these bacteria in the body, people will get sick easily."

"Then b13 is doing this to protect the health of the host?"

"Yes." The research director nodded. "The design purpose of b13 is to strengthen the human body and make humans healthier and stronger. It will not reproduce crazily and destroy human cells like other viruses, but will reproduce in an orderly manner. In the process, it will eat harmful viruses and bacteria and play a protective role. It has a healthy effect. But there is something strange about it.”

"Where?"

"Look here." He pointed at the octopus-like tentacles of B13. "The earlier b13 did not have so many tentacles. I don't know if this is an individual mutation or if all the b13 in her body has mutated."

"Does it make any difference?"

"Of course there is." He explained: "This tentacle is like a weapon. If there are too many tentacles, it is possible to over-prey viruses and bacteria, resulting in a decrease in their own total nutritional supplement. On the contrary, if there are too few tentacles, it will cause It cannot control the number of surrounding bacteria and cannot function normally. Generally speaking, 26 tentacles are just right, and this kind of virus is the most perfect."

"Then the b13 in her body is too strong in combat, which makes the reverse reaction slow, right?"

"Yes. So she has not undergone the strengthening process so far. Judging from this rate, she will not undergo the strengthening process until she is at least 'year old."

"You mean her bones will soften like mine last time and then re-synthesize into a superhuman existence?"

"Yes. B13 infection will happen sooner or later. It's a good thing anyway, don't worry. But I want to know how this girl carries b13, and where did you find her?"

"I can't tell you this for the time being. I'm still confused!"

He walked to the instrument, untied Ziyue and said, "Follow me."

Ziyue asked: "What is b13 you are talking about? Is there a virus in my body? It won't do any harm to me, right?"

"Don't worry. The only thing you lose after being infected with b13 is that you never have the chance to sleep again!"

"No chance to sleep?"

"I won't be able to explain this for a while. I'll take you to my dad first. ... It seems I can't call you dad now!"

Ziyue followed me walking in the base. We didn't say anything, we were each thinking about our own things. But we finally walked to Dad's office, knocked on the door and heard a voice from inside: "Come in."

I pushed the door open and pulled Ziyue in. Dad looked up and saw me coming in, but it was okay, but when he saw Ziyue, he immediately showed a surprised expression. "you……?"

I let Ziyue come in and locked the door with my backhand. "We just did DNA analysis."

"You did it anyway?"

I nodded and pulled Ziyue forward. "This is Zhuyue, I think she is my only blood relative, right?"

Dad put down the documents in his hand and walked over. He stood in front of Ziyue and looked at it for a long time, then gently stroked Ziyue's hair. "Are your parents okay?"

"Do you know them?" Ziyue was very different.

"Of course. Now that you already know, I don't want to keep hiding it. I know all about the original experiments, and of course your birth was one of them. I still gave you your name."

"What?"

"What? Don't you believe it?"

Ziyue shook her head. "no."

"I know you are curious. Now sit down and let me tell you what happened."

I quickly pulled Ziyue to sit down. Dad took a sip of tea and sat down opposite us. "That was 40 years ago. When the laboratory first completed the three theories. I was not the person in charge of Long Yuan at that time, and your grandfather was still managing the group at that time. There was a very talented doctor who designed a human enhancement plan , but no matter how hard we try, we cannot complete a complete embryo. It was not until 31 years ago that by chance we obtained a complete cell, a truly artificially synthesized human cell with the ability to divide."

"That's me?" I asked.

Dad nodded and said, "It should be said that those are the two of you and your dead compatriots."

"dead?"

"This cell is the ancestor. We performed parallel divisions on its basis, and then got many identical cells. But none of these cells could develop normally. We used catalytic technology to obtain many experimental subjects, but they were not Malformation is a congenital defect. More than 300 experimental subjects died during the whole process. Later, we examined the cause of the failure and determined that it was a problem with the tail chain of DNA. However, a doctor suggested using viruses instead of molecular probes for synthetic operations. But we couldn't find a suitable virus, so we decided to create a virus directly. This process took many years, until we later acquired German and French technology and completely bought out their virus gene banks. Finally, b13 was born . We merged it with one of the cells, and then the cell suddenly started dividing crazily after being silent for 24 hours. But I don’t know why it suddenly became two independent individuals during the division process.”

"That's the two of us?"

"Yes. These two individuals are you two." Dad continued: "After that, we decided to find a surrogate mother. A couple of National Security Agency agents who were working at the base decided to accept this task. Then Takezuki, you It was born. Your mother was already pregnant when the embryo was inoculated, and the other fetus in her belly was your sister. In order to avoid unnecessary danger caused by the different appearance of the two children, we made some small changes for your sister. "

"My parents are from the Security Bureau?"

Dad laughed. "Can we just randomly pick up a pregnant woman in the hospital and become a surrogate mother? For such an important matter, of course we need to find a reliable candidate."

I asked, "Then why wasn't I put in?"

"What if we put all the eggs in one basket and a fox finds them? For safety reasons, we decided to separate the two embryos for surrogacy. Even if there is an accident, at least one can be saved."

"So you decided that the mother would carry out the birth of the other child?"

Dad nodded. "No one is more reliable than us. The embryos can be stored for a long time before they are formed, but you have already formed the original embryonic cells, so time is very tight. It is not easy to find a surrogate mother, and you must meet many demanding physiological conditions before you can be a surrogate mother. . Besides, we also need reliable people, so we are the only ones here. However, your mother said that since you are a human being after birth, you must be treated like a normal person, so we decided not to have our own children and raise you as our own child. .”

"Then what happened to my appearance? Why is it so feminine?"

"This actually shocked us. That ancestor cell is actually a female gene cell, and its sex chromosome is xx. But you were infected by b13 and split into two individuals. . Zhuyue's individual maintained the female gender, but your individual cells were sorted incorrectly during sorting, and the gender-chromatic body became xy. As a result, you became a boy. . But in the earliest days, your embryo always divided into female-chromosomes. Later, only the sex-chromosomes changed, and the rest remained basically unchanged, so you look very much like a female. Child. But don’t worry, your coloring at birth has completely become a male standard and will not affect your future life."

Zhuyue stared at me for a long time and suddenly smiled and said: "So we are sisters!"

My face turned red to my neck. "Don't talk nonsense. Didn't you listen to my dad? When he was born, he was completely male, but he spent the embryonic period in a female state."

Dad also smiled and said: "This is a small technical mistake, there is no harm. I am more concerned about your thoughts now. What do you think of me and your mother after knowing all this?"

I thought for a while and said: "I thank you for your care and nurturing. I am really touched that you even gave up your children for me. Although we are not related by blood, we have lived like this for more than 20 years. I don’t think there’s any need to mess up the good life you have now just for those nihilistic things.”

Dad patted me on the shoulder excitedly: "Good boy. We will always be your parents."

Zhuyue said a little disappointedly: "But what should I do about my parents?"

Dad said to Zhuyue: "I suggest you don't talk to them. The price for their help as surrogate parents is that they can leave the spy department and live a normal life. It's good for you to maintain it like this. Don't make things worse. It’s complicated.”

I hugged Ziyue's shoulders affectionately and said, "You should be happy. You have such a powerful brother like me for no reason."

Zhuyue immediately said: "Who said you are older than me? We are two people split from one cell, and we are at most the same size."

I immediately pretended to be old-fashioned and said: "Looking at my mental age, I am older, so you should just be your younger sister!"

Ziyue's conversation changed: "Sister is just a sister. As a brother, do you want me to give you a gift as a greeting? Don't you still have an angel crystal? Hand it over, right? Just treat it as a greeting gift to recognize my sister."

"Isn't your magic pet position already full?"

"Then don't worry about it. I don't care if I use it for myself or give it to others. Anyway, it's my business. Give it to me quickly!"

Dad saw that we had returned to normal and left the office with a smile. Ziyue and I also left the room playing around.

Although today's test results were unexpected, I am still very happy. Although my father is not my biological father, I have nothing to say when I think of the care my parents usually give me. I am not a melancholy person by nature, as long as everyone cares whether he is a natural person or not. What's wrong with me being an artificial human? I have everything that others have, and I have what others don't have without suffering any disadvantages.

Since Ziyue is here today, I don't plan to send her away right away. Dad said that our whole family would have dinner together in the evening, and he asked Ziyue to stay and have dinner with him. After all, Ziyue is my real relative, the only person alive in the world who is related to me by blood.
