At the end of the corridor is a huge underground base with a well-type structure, and each floor is connected by vertical elevators.
When Shinichi Araki turned on the switch, the entire underground base lit up instantly. However, it seemed that the place had been abandoned for a long time, and many of the equipment had decayed.
"This is the 'Dawn Science Research Institute' back then. After the 'Angel' incident, a battle took place here, and it has been sleeping underground ever since."
Duke looked around and was amazed by what he saw.
The remains of various robots were scattered on the ground and buried under the ruins. The dry white bones made people's hair stand up in horror. The bones of these people were either shattered or broken. It is difficult to imagine the brutality of the battle at that time.
"Who are you and why did you bring me to this place?"
Araki Shinichi looked at everything here with affectionate eyes, as if a wanderer who had been away from home for a long time suddenly returned home.
"You know, this is where he was born. The doctors told him that this is his home, and the people here are his relatives. He trusts the people here and regards them as his family. They taught him
Make him laugh, teach him to play like a human child, let him learn human knowledge..."
Hearing Araki Shinichi's words, Duke felt a chill on his back and his scalp became tense.
"Who...are you?"
Duke's bracelet suddenly rang. He opened it, and Paz's anthropomorphic holographic projection suddenly appeared in front of him.
Paz said: "In order to hide my identity, I used human desires to build a hiding place for myself, and my subjective consciousness was implanted into the body of a human baby. This baby..."
Duke was stunned. At this moment, he was very shocked inside. He was so shocked that his facial expression could only be shown by stiffness.
"Are you...Paz?"
"To be precise, I am an 'angel' and also Paz."
Duke felt unprecedented fear. If what Araki Shinichi said just now is true, then his current situation is very dangerous.
Duke slowly backed away, trying to distance himself from Araki. Seeing how afraid he was, Araki turned around and walked into the elevator.
"If you want to know more, and... everything about yourself, just follow me."
Duke's breathing rhythm has been disrupted. He doesn't know whether what is happening in front of him is true or false, but if what Araki said is true, then he must also know everything about himself.
Duke walked onto the elevator tremblingly, and Shinichi Araki turned on the backup switch of the elevator and lowered the elevator to the lowest floor.
He followed Shinichi Araki to a laboratory on the ground floor, where several culture chambers were completely stored. Duke looked carefully at the contents of the culture chambers and sat down on the ground in shock.
"This is another research project of theirs - artificial embryos."
Araki Shinichi started the culture cabin, and the light tubes around the culture cabin quickly lit up, and the contents inside became extremely clear under the light.
"This is an artificial womb. Inside the womb is a life cultivated by artificial genes. Now he is in a deep sleep state."
Araki Shinichi looked back at Duke and continued:
"You have no family. You are not a human child born by humans. You are an artificial pseudo-life just like the life in the cultivation cabin. You are incomplete, so they sent you and another child out to
Ordinary families raised you to hide your identity. Those people firmly believe that you two will become the only weapons to defeat me, because you, like me, are artificially created fakes. You were born with a body, but I did not, so your
Consciousness and thinking develop independently, just like ordinary human children, and I am just a copy of their thoughts, and my thinking is a collection of their thoughts."
After saying that, Araki Shinichi picked up a pistol from somewhere and pointed it at Duke's forehead, his eyes were cold and his face was stern.
"Now let me see, what is so special about you that you can kill me?"
Duke was at a loss, and his brain was in a state of confusion. Araki Shinichi had told too many things for him to accept, so his brain had given up processing the information.
"I want to leave here, I want to go back..."
"Bang!"
Huang Nizhen shot Duke in the face one by one. Duke covered his injured face and rolled on the ground. The corner of his mouth burst open and bleeded.
"You can't get out. They blew up all the escape routes. The only way out is the artificial lake we entered just now. When the base gate was opened, the rock wall at the bottom of the lake had cracked and released poisonous gas. This is necessary.
Protection measures, so you can only die here today!"
"What on earth do you want to do?"
Duke's fear was visible to the naked eye, but he still wanted to ask.
Huang Ni Zhenyi said:
"Kill me and Paz will take you away. Otherwise, you and I will die here."
"Senior...will come to save me..."
"If you are referring to the DSIB group, I advise you to be more open-minded. They are too busy to talk now, and I told them that I want you to perform a show with me to confuse the enemies hiding in the dark.
So that they can surface."
"You...you have already planned it..."
"Yes, everything in this world is under my control. Oh, by the way, I would like to remind you that if you can get out alive, you must not tell anyone about what happened here, otherwise, the people above will not
I will let you go."
Shinichi Araki looked at Duke's cowering look and snorted coldly: "It seems that it is impossible for you to actively resist."
Araki shot through Duke's left arm. The severe pain instantly overwhelmed Duke's mind, and the heart-rending screams echoed in the laboratory.
Araki just watched Duke lying on the ground wailing quietly, but after a few minutes, Duke showed no reaction. This made Araki couldn't help but think: "Could it be that the energy in his body is not stimulated by external stimulation?
"
He turned around and looked for something in the laboratory, but he found it.
It was a thumb-sized bottle of red and blue liquid. Although the two colors of liquid were in the same bottle, they were distinct in color and did not merge.
Shinichi Araki found a gun-type syringe, extracted the liquid, pressed down on Duke and injected the liquid into Duke's body.
Duke's body began to produce a strong rejection reaction. Duke foamed at the mouth, his pupils were constricted and pale, and veins popped out all over his body. Along with violent twitches, his limbs collided with the ground, making a dull impact sound.
This scene looks very much like a zombie in a movie.
After about two minutes, Duke suddenly stopped moving, and then his skin began to crack and fall off, like a snake shedding its skin, revealing a new layer of skin. Even the previous scars disappeared.
