Chapter 68: Mutation - C26
Day .
The first rays of light in the morning shine into the dark bathroom.
Anjiu sat calmly on the blanket, looking at Anjiu No. 2... and No. 3 who were tied up opposite him.
Well, she found out that she had another copy.
When she suddenly opened her eyes from her deep sleep, she was sensitively aware that something was different in her mind.
When she stood up, she saw that No. 3 was about to walk out of the bathroom with his back to her.
Anjiu immediately jumped up from the blanket, grabbed No. 3's arms behind his back, pressed him on the blanket, and tied him tightly with cloth.
Anjiu rubbed his fingers, and there was still a slightly sticky touch on his fingertips - it was stained when he just touched No. 3.
It looks like number three has just been copied.
In just a short while, when Anjiu touched her skin again, it had become dry and rough - just like her own.
At this moment, Anjiu felt dizzy and suddenly two different perspectives appeared in his mind.
One is that there is a vague, vertical rectangular ball of white light in front of the eyes.
Another one... She saw herself looking at herself in confusion.
This……
Anjiu stretched out his hand and waved it in front of No. 3.
In the perspective on the right side of her mind, she was waving at her slowly.
Is the vertical strip of white light in my mind from No. 2's perspective? From her perspective, the light in the living room is just framed by the door frame.
Anjiu stepped forward and untied the cloth covering No. 2's eyes, and sure enough, he 'saw' his own face magnified in the left perspective.
As No. 2 and No. 3 turned their heads, the perspective in their minds changed as well, and she could choose any perspective and magnify it at will, so easily that it was as if she had grown two extra pairs of eyes.
At this moment, she heard No. 2 and No. 3 'say': "...We must devour as much as possible, make the world Anjiu's, monopolize all resources, and become the only king of this world!"
"Devouring them, infecting them, and making them become you. The greater your strength, the greater your power..."
"I want to go out..."
"I want to go out..."
It turned out to be the case.
Anjiu finally understood at this time that the more replicas there were, the more vision they could provide. The existence of replicas was mainly to help the main body seize power, devour dissidents, expand its own rights, and monopolize resources.
It's equivalent to having a more loyal team.
The first entity to show signs of differentiation will be the first to become a powerful force. Once the other party has grown to a certain scale, it will be difficult to solve the problem as long as the main body is hidden in a place where others cannot find it, leaving no blind spots around it.
Anjiu saw this from the driver last night.
He had enough clones to crush anyone who had just started to differentiate, but he died tragically in the end because he used all his clones to encircle and suppress his neighbors next door. He didn't leave anyone around him and had blind spots in his vision, so he was intercepted and killed by the young woman.
Through this, Anjiu also learned that as long as the main body dies, all copies will disappear.
The good news is that the main body is the loophole, and the bad news is that the first group of people to react will be surrounded tightly.
if it is like this……
Should she also take the initiative to gather more clones around her, increase her chances of survival, and successfully run back to the door?
Can it also be understood as having a few more lives, and being able to use the replicas to pave the way for yourself?
But what does the replicator mean by infection and devourment? How long does the process take?
These are all unknowns. If you want to figure them out, you still have to find someone to try it out first.
Anjiu calmed down.
She took the food into the kitchen, heated up the leftovers first, and ate them carefully to fill her stomach.
From this perspective, the clues that should have been discovered on the first day have been delayed until today with the help of "kind-hearted people".
She was really, very grateful to him. She should have locked the door at that time. In the end, she was still kind...
After the meal, Anjiu began to look for a handy tool, determined to kill the enemy with one blow. The shorter the process was, the better it was for her.
She wanted it to be longer and stronger, so she finally chose the long wrench.
Anjiu set his first target on the neighbor next door.
It is now known that the other party's cat is dead, and the corpse that was pulled back last night may have become her clone. If she also differentiates into a clone today, plus her original body, there will be a maximum of three.
There was a fight between the neighbors and the property people last night, but no clone came out to help. This shows that she didn't have a second clone at home at the time, otherwise it wouldn't have been in the original body.
The neighbor next door is a supermarket clerk. Before tasting the sausages, Anjiu had observed him carefully. He was about 1.6 meters tall, looked young, and had the skinny body type favored by people of his age. With his sleeves rolled up, his forearms were white and thin, and his lips were also pale.
It's obvious that he has not done any strength training and may even be anemic.
Although Anjiu's body was shriveled due to hunger, the hard mining work in the past period of time had exercised her arms to a great extent, so her hands were strong.
It should be a 50-50 match against the neighbors.
Anjiu would not look down on the other person because of his thin body. To be on the safe side, she took out all the tapes in the house, and then found the textbooks of Guiren's child, and stuck them on her belly, wrapping them up with tape.
Try to protect the fragile internal organs without affecting your movements.
She changed into sportswear that was more convenient for movement and held the wrench to get familiar with its feel.
Anjiu clearly realized that when the will of the replica continued to be transmitted to her, brainwashing began.
No matter how strong-willed a person is, he cannot stand hearing the same sentence repeated in his mind 24 hours a day without stopping:
'Kill them, become the most powerful person, and enjoy all the resources.'
This means that the subject will gradually lose his mind and fall into madness, which means that the fighting power of the neighbors may increase.
She had to be careful about everything.
When Anjiu had made all the preparations and was about to push the door open to go out, he suddenly heard footsteps coming up the stairs outside.
somebody is coming.
Anjiu gently tore off the tape on the cat's eye and did not approach it rashly.
The footsteps finally stopped outside the door.
Knock, knock.
There was a knock on her door.
"...Lao Gao, when did you come back? Why didn't you come to see me..."
The voice was somewhat familiar, very much like the accent of the round-faced aunt.
"Don't blame me. I asked you to come to my house so early in the morning just to give you some old clothes that were no longer needed at home. Who knew that you would be so unlucky that day and be hit to death by a girl who jumped off the building..."
knock knock.
"I just saw you from outside. Haven't you always wanted to lose weight? Look at how thin you are now! I'm so envious."
"Open the door and let me in..."
The round-faced auntie patiently persuaded "Lao Gao" inside with the most gentle voice.
There was a slight click from the lock tongue.
She immediately wiped the saliva from her mouth excitedly and continued to coax him, "Yes, that's right! Lao Gao, I am not only your friend, but also your best friend."
She realized that she was overwhelmed by excitement and her words began to become confused. When she was about to correct herself, the door - opened.
