Chapter 30: Negative and Positive
"From now on, if the commander-in-chief doesn't come to me, I will reject him. Do you understand?" Duncan glanced sideways at Susan and slowly took a sip of coffee.
Susan nodded hurriedly and wrote down the matter.
After dealing with official duties in the morning, Duncan's mind was about to explode, which made Duncan even more determined to recruit people.
Immediately after finishing work, he changed out the red queen, and the little girl covered in red appeared on the desktop in the office.
"Red Queen, help me publish an announcement on the official website to recruit talents that are lacking in various departments. Resumes will be screened by you. Racists will not be accepted, and people with special status will not be accepted. Ordinary positions are determined based on ability. The secretarial team must be young and beautiful, under the age of 30.
Find the right one and give the information to me for review."
The Red Queen said obediently: "Okay, we are writing a recruitment announcement."
After casually settling the matter of recruiting people, Duncan took out his cell phone and called Alice, who was training at the Umbrella Security Company campus, and asked her to eat at a restaurant outside.
Alice agreed simply. Now that most of her memory had been restored, she remembered that she was indeed an employee of Umbrella. She had no reason to refuse the invitation from the big boss.
Not long after, Duncan and Alice met in a quiet Western restaurant. There was no frivolous champagne and red wine on the table. There were several plates of steaks on the small dining table, and they finished one plate after another.
Duncan was devouring his food, as if he was really just here to eat, which made Alice, who was well-dressed in a star-blue dress, look very dazed.
"Eat, eat more to have the strength to train!" Finding that Alice seemed a little restrained, Duncan greeted enthusiastically: "Don't mind me, what I don't like the most are those etiquettes that make eating complicated. The only way to do that is to eat.
Only people who are full and have nothing to do will care.”
At this time, the waiter came up and placed the two cans of Coke on the tray on the table.
"Pfft!"
Alice couldn't help but laugh, her original tension disappeared, and she said, "You are such an interesting boss."
"Hmph!" Duncan said nothing about this, opened the Coke and poured it into his mouth.
He was particularly uncomfortable having him play the role of an ugly gentleman. It felt better now, free and unrestrained, and others would not look at him with contempt, because he now represented authority.
An ordinary person eating steak with his hands at a high-end restaurant will be regarded as barbaric and poor. A billionaire eating steak with his hands at a high-end restaurant will be regarded as different and informal.
This is how the world is...
If you have money and status, everything you do will be scrutinized by others. Even the name of a dish written down casually will be considered to contain metaphors and be over-interpreted.
Alice also let go, cut open the steak and kept eating. Her eating style was not as unrestrained as Duncan's, but it was more natural.
Lunch ended in a relaxed atmosphere...
After finishing the dessert, Duncan started talking about serious matters, "Alice, I'm going to tell you something next, so don't get excited!"
Seeing Duncan's suddenly serious expression, Alice also sat upright, nodded and said: "Well,..."
"You should have discovered that your physical fitness is stronger than that of ordinary people..." Duncan organized his words, stared directly into Alice's eyes, and said: "You are actually a clone, who was protected by the Umbrella Company
Clones with false memories implanted."
"..."
Alice was puzzled at first, then her face was filled with disbelief, and then it turned into deep doubt and disbelief.
Without waiting for her to say anything, Duncan quickly said everything that followed.
Including that Alice is a perfect clone of Alicia whose disease has been eliminated, and most of her memories were implanted by the Umbrella Company.
She knew that the marriage was fake, and she no longer wore the wedding ring from her company on her ring finger.
The power of the truth was no less than a thunderbolt, which left Alice's mind completely blank. She didn't even know how she followed Duncan out of the restaurant.
Just when she came back to her senses, she saw Alicia's body in the morgue of Raccoon City Center Hospital.
"She is your identity. Before she died, she once said, 'The rich memories in the future will be rewoven into a complete life, and you are you!'" Duncan reached out and patted the exposed shoulders of Alice's dress, feeling disgusted.
It was so satisfying that he hugged her body directly.
Snapped!
Alice pushed Duncan away with her backhand, with an angry and puzzled look on her face. If Duncan hadn't accumulated a little favorability in her heart, she wouldn't have pushed him away now, but would have directly raised her fist to hit him.
"You...do you have anything else to explain?"
"Yes!" Duncan raised his hands to show no harm. He was not Steve. He probably couldn't resist Alice's punches and would have to rush to the street. Naturally, he didn't dare to commit suicide when the other party was excited. "The Umbrella Company is the Umbrella Company.
, I am me, and I was the one who killed Isaac. You should also be aware of the recent series of measures taken by the company. I am not one of those careerists!"
Alice's eyes softened a little, but she still stared at Duncan and asked, "You knew I was...a clone when you found me that day, why are you telling me this now?"
Duncan put down his hand and replied, "Because I'm just like you!"
Same?
Alice looked at the old face of Alicia's corpse beside her, then looked at Duncan with an incredible expression.
"What are you thinking? What I said is a clone, not a clone of the same person!" Duncan rolled his eyes, stepped forward, and pushed Alicia's body back into the cabinet.
Alice's brain was overwhelmed by multiple messages and couldn't process it. She squatted down and covered her head, looking uncomfortable and murmuring: "Why is it like this?"
Duncan kindly knelt down and gently stroked his back to comfort him, but was stared at by the latter's complicated eyes, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Don't look at me like this, I didn't do anything bad!"
Alice is much calmer now. She has another curious thing and asks: "How do you know your identity and escape from Isaac's control?"
coming!
Just waiting for Alice to ask this matter, Duncan was happy in his heart, but pretended to be deep in thought on his face. After thinking for a long time, he said: "I think this is the choice of fate. That was the first shareholders meeting I experienced. Isaac
The crazy idea of destroying all mankind was announced at the meeting... Just after the meeting, my head was about to explode, and it was filled with destruction, rebirth, and the world.
I don’t know if the world chose me, but I awakened a special ability that can open a portal across the world, and then I met Steve and Natasha.
What you have seen, they are actually people from another world! They were invited by me to stop Isaac's plan to destroy the world, regain control of Umbrella, and make Umbrella a company that promotes human progress rather than destroys mankind!"
After saying that, he looked into Alice's eyes, and Alice looked back with an expression that said, "You're kidding me."
The two looked at each other in silence, neither of them spoke first.
Chapter completed!
