Sophia stared at the man in the lab capsule for a good while before turning to look at Dexter beside her. "I still prefer how you looked before this."
Even though Andy was also good-looking, there was sothing about him that didn’t sit right.
Dexter grew fearful. "Didn’t you say you loved my unique soul more, honey?"
Sophia contemplated seriously before saying, "Sorry, I suddenly think that outer appearance is equally important as well."
After that, she started walking toward the lab capsule in the middle.
Dexter hurriedly grabbed her. "What are you doing, Sophia?"
"I’ll kill him and reincarnate you into his body. Things will be perfect then." Sophia narrowed her eyes, her gaze full of killing intent.
She truly ant to do what she said.
Taken aback, he hurriedly stopped her. "That’s not right, Sophia."
"Even though he’s not your clone subject, he’s your twin. It’d be fine to kill him." Sophia pushed Dexter away and walked up to open the door to the lab capsule.
Inside the lab capsule, the man, whose face was identical to Dexter’s, was stunned. "Aren’t you here to rescue ?" "You’re not anyone to , so why should I rescue you?" After unlocking the door, Sophia took out her knife to kill him.
Gone was that man’s earlier enigmatic deanor as he scurried to hide under the bed in fear. High intelligence did not matter to her she only wanted to kill.
"Wait, we’re biological brothers," he said while pointing at Dexter. He managed to identify that it was Dexter’s soul instead of Andy’s in Andy’s body. "We’re identical twins."
"That’s why it’s perfect to kill you," Sophia said as she pulled him by the collar. Her knife was about to pierce his neck when she stopped to think for a bit.
"I’m planning to let Dexter reincarnate into your body, so I can’t leave any fatal injuries on this body. Lucky you. I’ll sedate you instead."
"Wait!" The man took a deep breath. "How are you sure that his soul can win against mine? I’m not a clone subject. I have an independent soul, and this is my body. You should know that it’s hard to take it away from ." He was aware of the disadvantages of soul swapping as well as the secret to soul reincarnation.
Sophia frowned and looked at him warily. "You can just die, then. I don’t want to see your face."
The man looked at Dexter pleadingly.
Just as Sophia’s knife was about to swing down, Dexter hugged her from the back and grabbed her hand. "Let him live, Sophia."
"He’s dangerous," she softly said.
The man said, "As we’re biological brothers, Andy handed the data to after getting Sarah reincarnated. He demanded to uncover the secrets of reincarnation, but I’ve never been able to have a breakthrough."
He shrugged. "I just figured that you’d co after sooner or later. I really don’t an any harm!" "What’s your na?" Dexter asked.
"I don’t have one. I’m Experintal Subject No. 9." No. 9 shrugged. He truly was similar to Dexter, only with a livelier personality.
Sophia wasn’t sure if he was just putting on an act.
"Let’s just kill him," she said, not wanting to leave any potential risks.
"I know Geno Society even better than Andy." No. 9’s gaze turned intense. He wanted to take control of Geno Society.
"All the more for you to die, then." Sophia still wanted him dead.
No. 9 said, "Do you think that the bigshot behind Geno Society won’t just rebuild a new base in the Othard region with Andy dead? Their reach is beyond wide. They’ll continue to co back no matter how many tis you stop them.
"Besides, this ship is the only contact between Andy and Geno Society’s main hub. As soon as this cargo ship explodes or stops sending any information back for a while, Geno Society will just set up a new base in the Othard region."
It would only be the beginning of a new wave of evil when that happened. The sacrifices made by Dexter, Sophia, and countless others would end up aningless.
"I have the sa thoughts as you. What I want to destroy is the main hive where the queen resides. There’s no way of stopping their regeneration just by cutting off their limbs." No. 9 looked at Sophia, hoping that she would trust him.
However, she did not trust him. "We’ll just leave the rest to those who co after us-they’ll also need ti to regenerate. I just need to clean up Geno Society in the Othard region and live my life peacefully."
Sophia had lost her initial ambition of completely destroying Geno Society’s hive after her experience. Now, she only wanted to live a simple, peaceful life with Dexter. As for what would happen next, she would leave them to others.
"Do you think you can live peacefully without ?" No. 9 chuckled coldly, holding onto a hard drive that appeared out of nowhere.
"Andy has already uploaded all your files and information to the hive network, and it’ll send all your data directly to the queen. She’ll never allow any threats to Geno Society to exist. Both of you will surely be killed."
No. 9 looked at Dexter and said, "You have no choice. Only by letting take over Geno Society can you truly live in peace."
Dexter looked back at No. 9, whose face was just like a reflection of his. "What do you want to do?"
No. 9 replied, "I’ll send you back to Huma. From now on, just consider that Geno Society has fallen. I’ll stay away from your lives and won’t do anything evil anymore. I’ll also help hold off the headquarters of Geno Society and make sure the queen doesn’t set any extermination orders on you."
It sounded extrely tempting for soone else to bear the burden and ensure Dexter and Sophia have stable lives-but would he truly be that selfless?
"I’m willing to exchange my body with yours." No. 9 smiled, looking at Dexter.
Dexter was currently using Andy’s body, after all. Only by exchanging bodies could they each obtain what they wanted.
No. 9 would then beco the new "Andy" and continue to keep in contact with the queen of Geno Society.
Sophia glanced at Dexter with a frown. The proposal was truly tempting to her.
After exchanging bodies, No. 9 would continue his life as Andy. Dexter would be able to return as himself and live a normal married life with her.
No. 9 said, "All of Geno Society’s laboratories in the country have already been discovered and eliminated, and the Rebels are nearly wiped out.
"Everything has co to an end, and I can no longer establish myself in Huma. I pose no threat for the ti being, and I wouldn’t do sothing as foolish as Andy had."
He continued, "Working together is the only way to mutually benefit from this."
No. 9 was trying to convince Sophia and Dexter.
From behind, Dexter slowly tightened his arms around Sophia as he said, "Let’s trust him this once, okay, Sophia?"
"We’ll kill him if he ends up threatening our interests," she said as she coldly looked at No. 9.
No. 9 smiled as he opened his arms. "I’ll always lay my vulnerabilities bare before both of you."
Sophia was already familiar with the experint of soul-swapping between twins. The success rate was very high as long as both parties agreed to it.
Dexter was reincarnated in No. 9’s body after the experint. He looked at his face and his perfectly fitting body, yet sothing still felt off.
No. 9 was reincarnated into Andy’s body. He flashed them a smile and said, "Here’s to a smooth partnership." Sophia took Dexter’s hand and brought him out.
"Boss!" The rcenary leader stopped both of them outside the door.
"Andy" smiled at him and said, "Let them leave."
It had to be said that No. 9 was the person who understood Andy the best in this world. He even mimicked Andy’s microexpressions perfectly.
Jimmy chose to stay and collaborate with No. 9 to take on Geno Society.
Sophia also thought that it was a good decision. While she did not fully understand or trust No. 9, she knew enough about and trusted Jimmy.
He was ambitious, yet he was timid and feared death. He would definitely let Dexter and her know right away if No. 9 ever posed a threat to his life.
