Chapter 1362: Chapter 1363: Targeted Trap
“Nonsense!” The female player burst out after listening, but she didn’t say more because there was no point in arguing about it.
First, they couldn’t confront each other; not to ntion Dr. Duor wasn’t present, even if he were, would the Ya Clan people believe what he said?
Secondly, even if the Ya Clan people believed it and the matter was indeed a misunderstanding, so what? There were old grudges, and those who died today would not co back to life. There was no room for reconciliation between the two sides.
They have nothing left to discuss, but Xu Huo does.
He used the “Goalkeeper” defensive barrier to guard against Number 3’s little tricks and then turned to ask the female player and others, “You all know that Dr. Duor has a duplicate, right?”
“Who are you?”
Whether from the Dongfeng Laboratory or the Ya Clan people, everyone harbored hostility towards this suddenly appearing Xu Huo, let alone him wanting to get involved actively.
“Just a plain old Passerby A, I’m simply here to clear the level; you can ignore .” Xu Huo glanced back and forth between the laboratory people and the Ya Clan people, speaking amiably.
Although he said that, no one felt they could just ignore him, especially on the side of the Ya Clan people. Number 3 had already sent out a signal, but the companions ant to retreat had not co in yet—it’s unlikely they all encountered accidents, the only possibility is that they were stopped.
Xu Huo may not be alone.
“Are all the people from Dongfeng Laboratory here?” Xu Huo asked again.
The female player and her companions didn’t know what he ant, but they quickly saw him take out a painting and scrutinize the slowly writhing face in the picture. After a mont, everyone’s expressions changed dramatically: “You…!”
“It’s still a living painting right now, but that might not be the case in a while.” Xu Huo put the painting away, observing everyone’s expressions, “Are all the people from the Dongfeng Laboratory here?”
The female player glanced fearfully at Number 3 in the distance, “The main mbers of the laboratory are all here. The one behind
is the professor and head of the laboratory, also a scholar dedicated to genetic disease research.”
Judging by everyone’s expressions, she wasn’t lying. Xu Huo nodded, not surprised; the economic level of the Twin Cities wasn’t likely to attract better talents. Precisely because there were just a few people, those who ca to receive live experint data earlier seed so convincing—if there were more people in the laboratory, they might not gain people’s trust, whereas, with fewer people, they could easily beco the backbone of the lab and simply operate. Even if they did use the warehouse to store live experint data, the people in the lab might not know.
True or false, it could be explained either way, but at this point, no one could be certain.
However, there’s a key point: whether Dr. Duor is really conducting live human experints with the Ya Clan people, as they said, to select more suitable genes for evolution.
Interestingly, Dr. Duor himself never ca to the Secondary City; instead, all his duplicates did. The duplicates, as individuals, have slight mory differences. Since humans can be created, forging mories shouldn’t be difficult. Even if all Dr. Duor’s mories only contained treatnts for genetic diseases, it doesn’t an they aren’t related to live human experints; mories can be distorted and altered and might spill out upon triggering a switch—and the matter of Dr. Duor’s duplicates is precisely a hallmark of live human experints.
Living clones are right in front; Dr. Duor could send so many duplicates to die, doesn’t that indicate a problem?
In other words, whether it’s the Twin Cities or the Ya Clan people, even if they sat down calmly for negotiations, due to these ambiguous evidence pieces, both parties would never be satisfied with the outco.
After a brief pause, Xu Huo took out the “World in the Painting” again, showing Dr. Duor’s face to Number 3.
“I’ve already t a few Dr. Duors on the way,” he said, “all of them denying participation in live human experints.”
“Whether or not you’re a Ya Clan person, Dr. Duor’s own words may not be credible, but you also need to consider practicality.”
“The Twin Cities are so impoverished, I don’t believe they have any groundbreaking advancents in evolution. If they did, it wouldn’t be sent to the Twin Cities. I believe there are plenty of other people in Zone 023 interested, so much that Dr. Duor wouldn’t have been hindered from reaching the Secondary City for so long.”
“Don’t hurry to interrupt ,” he said directly as he saw the other party ready to speak, “Listen to everything I have to say; after all, your companions can’t get in for now, why not hear an outsider’s perspective.”
Number 3’s face was covered by a mask, making it impossible to see his expression, but his silence was indicative of his stance.
“First, as I just said, the Twin Cities don’t have the conditions for live human experints. Even if they did, since the information has leaked, the other cities in Zone 023 should be more interested than you are and not ignoring the matter. However, it seems that apart from you and out-of-zone players, no fourth party is involved.”
“Second, if the Capital City and Dr. Duor only intended to deliver a set of experintal data and one live human, there wouldn’t be a need to pay such a high price; having Dr. Duor himself co to the Secondary City fits the current context more, since the genetic disease is only spread between these two cities.”
“Third, the instance of escorting Dr. Duor to the Secondary City is nad ‘New Hope.’ To my understanding, the naming of instances typically carries a certain emotional palette. Since it is nad ‘New Hope,’ personally, I believe rescuing people in both cities is more fitting than having new results from live human experints.”
In fact, the nas of instances not only possess black and white contrasts, but sotis they also offer hints. From the instances Xu Huo has participated in, they generally lean toward the positive, similar to the conclusion drawn on the initial assessnt train: this ga is not entirely a dark ga—at least on the surface, it appears so, hence its exterior leans towards righteousness and kindness, just like receiving the dal of the Radiant Gentleman after ruining the Skinning Artisan’s instance.
Therefore, “New Hope” is unlikely referring to live human experints; besides, utilizing Ya Clan genes to enhance Zone 023’s evolution isn’t truly a new hope. After all, the Ya Clan people have short lifespans and their evolution isn’t strong either.
Overall, the people of Zone 023 are in a state of just having enough to eat and are wary of outsiders coveting their family’s few resources. Excluding the New District Governnt, practically everything born here is insignificant; thus, this “hope” naturally wouldn’t rise to the level of the entire ga.
However, he didn’t say these words aloud.
Number 3 quickly asked, “Are you suggesting that this instance is a trap targeting the Ya Clan?”
