And she seemed to be breathing in some kind of liquid?
Then, Vervie was taken out of the jar by Aponia.
Only then did Vilvi notice that she was surrounded by countless jars filled with a light green liquid, some containing humans with their eyes closed.
When Vilvi breathed in the air, her body seemed to hallucinate, and she began to experience excruciating pain all over her body again.
But Vervie, her face contorted in pain, was unable to utter a sound; she was very weak.
Aponia silently held Vervi, and Mebius covered her with a cloth. Mebius then led them away from there.
The four women silently returned to their residence near the Firemoth base.
After helping Velvi settle in, Mei spoke to Velvi, who was lying on the bed.
"You should rest first. If you have any questions, ask Möbius."
"..."
Mei naturally did not receive a response from Velvi. She was still weak all over, and although her body was that of a fusion warrior, she would not be able to recover so quickly.
Exhausted, Vervi slowly drifted off to sleep.
However, after a short while, Wilvi suddenly realized that she seemed to be 'awake' again, but she could also feel that she was actually sleeping.
But then, a series of sounds rang in her ears.
“Oh, should I say, long time no see?” a voice with interest rang in Vervi’s ear.
"Long time no see," came another calm voice.
"Yes, it's been a long time," came a sophisticated voice.
"..." She didn't speak, but Wilvi felt a gaze fixed on her.
A cold snort came from the voice directed at Vilvie.
Okay, she needs to rest now.
"That's right."
As Velvi looked at the seven versions of herself that appeared one after another, all of them exactly the same, she felt that she should know them, but she couldn't remember who they were for a moment.
"I asked in a muffled voice."
Who are you?
"..." All of Virvi's other consciousnesses fell silent.
When Vilvi opened her eyes, the sky outside the window was already bright.
Just then, Mebius, carrying breakfast, opened the door to Vervie's room and walked in.
"Awake?" Mebius put down his breakfast and came to Vilvi's bedside, looking at her.
“Aren’t you dead?” Velvi struggled to sit up, her brow furrowed as she looked at Mebius.
"Didn't you notice those dreams?"
"Who has time to worry about those dreams? I'm very busy..."^
As soon as she finished speaking, she fell silent, staring intently at Möbius, and then looking around at everything.
"Your poison?" Although it was a question, Vilvie was quite certain.
Although she didn't care about what happened in her dream, while she was asleep last night, Velvi also talked with the other seven of her own consciousnesses and learned about the situation in this collapsing world that was in the midst of the apocalypse.
Of course.
Mebius said indifferently.
"Can't you make it easier? It hurts!" Vervi's tone seemed calm, but if her eyes could kill, she would have hung Möbius up and killed him a thousand times over.
That poison was so painful.
"There was no other way; time was tight, so I just made do with whatever came to mind."
"..."
"Well then, get some rest. I'll need your help later," Mebius said casually, and then left Velvi's room.
"..." Wilvi lowered her head and remained silent, her hands clenched tightly and her teeth clenched.
Chapter 340 Terrorist Organization
"Based on the autopsy report, DNA test results, and other evidence, we have identified the true identity of the terrorist's body."
In a conference room, the top officials of Canghai City were having a meeting. Their faces were serious and somber. Recently, Canghai City had been severely affected by the presence of those terrorists.
Even the central government sent representatives to ensure the complete elimination of those terrorists.
Despite expending a great deal of manpower, resources, and money, Canghai City failed to capture those extremist terrorists, who would commit suicide before being arrested, burning themselves to destroy evidence.
Although they eventually obtained the body of a terrorist, the terrorists had already achieved their goal: killing a brilliant female student with exceptional mechanical talent.
In the conference room, after hearing that the terrorists' true identities had been found, many people looked at the police chief of Canghai City, as if asking why the terrorists were not apprehended as soon as possible.
But the bureau chief sighed heavily, his expression somewhat complicated.
"Take a look first," he instructed, and the documents were distributed to everyone.
While everyone was looking at the documents, the bureau chief also spoke.
"The terrorist's body matched the DNA of one of our citizens, but that person is already deceased..."
The director's explanation left everyone astonished.
According to the investigation, the DNA information of the terrorist's body matched that of a Chinese citizen named Kevin Kaslana, who was from Canghai City and had immigrated there several years ago.
However, Kevin had died in a car accident more than a month ago, and his body had already been cremated. His family came from Europe and took away Kevin's ashes.
Kevin's family members, who were among the police officers in Canghai City, came to the Canghai City Police Department to look for the file on Kevin's cause of death. Kevin died in an accidental car accident due to overwork.
News about Kevin's family in Europe can also be found.
Logically speaking, Kevin shouldn't have any connection with terrorists.
However, the terrorist's body did indeed match Kevin's DNA information, and according to analysis, the police had drawn a portrait of the dead terrorist, which almost matched Kevin's.
Kevin's death has also been confirmed.
"The dashcam of the vehicle that caused the accident recorded everything, as did many other surveillance cameras, as well as numerous eyewitnesses and people at the scene who filmed the incident."
"Kevin's autopsy report is available at the hospital, and the funeral home also has records of his cremation."
Everyone remained silent, pondering the matter.
However, the bureau chief also said at this time.
"We suspect that those terrorists possessed advanced cloning technology, and that the terrorists who carried out the mission were clones!"
"Do those terrorists have that level of technology?" Some people remain skeptical.
However, most people did extensive research on the information about terrorists, but believed in the matter of clones.
In fact, cloning technology was proposed and realized a long time ago. With the development and research of modern biology, cloning technology has made great progress. The existence of cloned humans has not been studied only because of human ethics and morality, but in secret, countries have considerable understanding of or experimented with it.
Those terrorists may very well have the capability to produce large-caliber firearms and ammunition on their own! It's worth noting that currently only a dozen or so countries can produce bullets and shells, and even fewer can do so on a large scale.
However, the bullets and shells used by terrorists are standardized according to investigations and research. Their style and features are similar to those of various countries, but completely different. No modern country has such specifications for firearms and bullets.
In other words, those terrorists possess considerable military manufacturing capabilities and scientific research capabilities.
The wreckage of the drone that killed Mebius, as well as the Spider and Dragonfly drones that infiltrated St. Freya Academy, was also investigated and studied. These drones were of a completely different specification and were likely produced by the terrorists themselves.
Only three countries are capable of independently producing drones and possess a complete drone industry chain.
In addition, the terrorists also possessed what appeared to be artificial intelligence.
This is no longer just simple terrorists; it is a powerful terrorist organization operating behind the scenes.
Therefore, the existence of clones is not impossible; otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why we cannot find any trace of terrorist organization bases today.
Terrorist organizations of this caliber would inevitably leave behind numerous traces of material and personnel movement, yet none of these can be found. This suggests that the terrorist organization possesses an extremely independent system and territory, along with highly powerful artificial intelligence to erase traces. The AI used to assist in the killing plan is merely a subprogram.
However, even a subroutine severely impacted and interfered with the operations of the Canghai City police.
It's unimaginable how powerful the artificial intelligence master program of terrorist organizations can be.
However, after reaching this conclusion, everyone felt somewhat heavy-hearted, but then they also became resolute. In any case, China must completely eradicate this terrorist organization! The moment the terrorists attacked Dr. Mebius, there was no second option for negotiation!
"Report all the current information and content. This is beyond our control." After the director finished speaking, everyone looked at the representative who had been sent.
The representative nodded solemnly.
"If terrorists have indeed mastered advanced cloning technology and have cloned the dead, those who were killed..."
Someone suddenly spoke slowly.
"..."
Everyone fell silent.
"And also, historical figures..."
"...That's not them anymore!" the mayor of Canghai City said solemnly.
"The real ones are dead! The cloned people are still clones, not them! And they're being controlled by terrorists!"
Everyone present was well aware of the problems that would arise if cloning technology were misused. More importantly, the clones were being controlled by terrorists!
"This matter has already involved countries all over the world! We must not allow this vicious and morally bankrupt terrorist organization to continue to exist!"
Before long, news of the incident was on the desks of leaders of major countries around the world, and the mysterious terrorist organization that had attracted international attention was known as the 'Fire Moth'.
In the online clash between the Canghai City police and the terrorist AI subprogram, the Canghai City police discovered in the AI subprogram's information that the terrorist organization's symbol appeared to be a burning moth.
However, although China tried its best to promote international cooperation to deal with the Fire Moth organization, and all countries publicly acknowledged this and expressed their willingness to contribute manpower and resources to combat the Fire Moth organization, it is clear that each country has its own agenda.
Dealing with a terrorist organization is not a problem, but countries are very interested in the technology, weapons, artificial intelligence, and other things related to terrorist organizations.
Chapter 341 is broken
What do you want to do?
In the open-air pavilion outside the Moth of Fire base, Velvi coldly looked at Mebius.
"Gather all the manpower and meet with the 12th Herrscher," Mebius calmly sipped his tea.
Although it's something from who-knows-how-many years ago, it doesn't matter, since the fusion warrior's body isn't afraid of this thing at all.
Vervi sat opposite Mebius.
"Does it make any sense?" Velvi's attitude was very cold.
When the gap between the two sides reaches a certain level, the weaker side is completely unaware of what the stronger side is doing, and even the weaker side's resistance is arranged by the stronger side.
That's the gap between humans and Herrschers now, or even much larger.
No one knows whether they live in the real world or the virtual world, or whether humanity lives in reality or in a falsehood.
Velvi considers herself a genius, but she is ultimately just a human being. She cannot escape the foundation of reality, whether she is the fusion warrior Velvi in the dream or the student Velvi of St. Freya Academy, she still needs the foundation of reality.
But the reality that is so crucial to humanity... is merely a toy that can be rewritten at will in the hands of the true Herrscher.
Mebius wanted to see the real Herrscher, but Velvet felt that the real Herrscher might be standing right next to Mebius and her, watching them, but they couldn't see or sense the real Herrscher's presence at all, just like a two-dimensional character can never see what a three-dimensional character is doing.
“Meaning…” Mebius chuckled.
"Of course, it makes no sense."
"Humph......"
Mebius and Vervière looked at each other, both able to discern each other's inner thoughts.
They originally lived in a peaceful and beautiful environment, each with their own happy life and loving families.
But one day, someone told them that they had actually been living in a fake world and brought them into the so-called real world.
Möbius never believed that the world he had lived in before was a false world. If it were, then what would be the difference between such a virtual world and the real world? How can we be sure that what we call reality is truly reality? Perhaps it is another parallel world.
It wasn't just Möbius who thought this way; Velvi, who had just arrived in the real world, also thought so, as did May.
“That’s really awful,” Wilvi suddenly said.
Mebius suddenly broke into a happy and genuine smile.
"Of course, Mei thinks so too."
