The clouds outside the window were scattered and spa.r.s.e.

The living environment for the entire Azure Cosmos had been artificially created. Each of the four big cities maintained their own oxygen and temperature control, having carved out livable s.p.a.ces from the originally barren landscape.

Floating Citys seasonal changes were usually determined by the Meteorological Research Office and the Tourism Bureau. As a result, autumn was particularly long, and winters were short, followed by an early spring.

The day of the Autumn equinox was also referred to as the Autumn Festival.

At this time, there were only a few days left before the Autumn Festival, and the entire city had undergone both magnificent and luxurious decorative changes.

Looking down from the high tower of the Floating City military base, one could see the city with its blurred lights and shadows. The moat was stained pink with genetically improved cherry blossom petals as well as the flamingos whod taken over the banks.

Further inwards, law enforcement guards had surrounded Red, whod just come back, and were listening to him show off. Arjun came in from somewhere, leading a flamingo on a rope, and he paced in an imitation of the way Mao Dongqing walked the guinea pig. While walking, he even imitated the way Mao Dongqing spoke.

The young men of the guard team wanted to laugh but ultimately didnt dare to. Zhou Nan, the psychologist, sat in a corner and smiled as he peeled an orange and stuffed it at Wu Jin.

In the tower, Wei s.h.i.+ retracted his gaze.

Researcher Song opened up the terminals projector, All of the relevant information is here.

The research on making a scabbard for the swords was set up 40 years ago. However, the technology is far less sophisticated than the creation of human-shaped weapons.

According to Mr Wus memories when he entered the emotional lock, the memory of children lined up to enter the transformation room should have been his first experience undergoing a transformation between the ages of 6 and 8. Whats more, I heard Mao Dongqing say that Little Witch saw a purple-brown closed door in his memory, with a dense diamond decorative patternlike eyes.

Wei s.h.i.+s eyebrows were twisted together, and the look in his eyes was deep and frightening.

Researcher Song sighed, Doctor Zhou Nan said that his claustrophobia is related to this. However, last time when I went to the R-Code base, n.o.body was able to find the door. Based on the description of the patternits very similar to the outside door for the genetic reproduction room.

Little Witchs blood test with its high concentration of MHCC resistance as a side effect also supports the fact that hes been genetically transformed. And, Im guessing, the dosage for the first modification was quite large.

Of course, none of this is as convincing as direct evidence. Researcher Song glanced at Wei s.h.i.+ and spoke again slowly, News came in from the technical team yesterday.

The surveillance chip that was destroyed at the R-Code Base back then has been restored as much as possible. We were able to extract video recordings from 10 years ago.

Wei s.h.i.+ paused, Open it.

The recovered surveillance video recording wasnt very clear, but researchers in white lab coats could be seen walking around. This section of the monitoring was aimed at the transformation room with the highest specifications within the R-Code base. Test tubes, needles, and monitoring probes could be seen everywhere.

Someone came in leading a group of children.

The recording stopped at a specific frame.

Wei s.h.i.+ suddenly clenched his fists.

Researcher Song enlarged the details. In the low-definition video recording, they could still make out the young boy with the small curls in the crowd. He looked to be about eight or nine years old, appeared soft and gentle, and he didnt dare to fall behind the other children for even a moment.

A young Wu Jin.

Ill ask the technical team to make a copy of the video for you. Researcher Song stopped looking at the screen, and his voice was filled with emotional ups and downs, These were all scabbard experimental subjects.

Six years ago, the R-Code Base was disbanded. From the list that was found on-site, it can be inferred that they were still at the base, just like Wei Yan and Shao Yu. The problem lies in the time period four years ago. All records disappeared, and at that time, Shao Yu suddenly left R-Code Entertainment and defected to the Empire. Something must have happened during this period.

A long time later, Wei s.h.i.+ ordered, Continue looking for Shao Yu and keep an eye on the R-Code Base.

Researcher Song nodded, Theres also Little Witch

I hope that you can ask for as many clues as you can.

Beneath the Floating Base tower.

The black cat and a flamingo were clumped together, fighting. Zhou Nan finished was.h.i.+ng his hands and suddenly received a message from Wei s.h.i.+.

Ask questions? Its not that you cant. Zhou Nan reminded him, R-Code is the source of all evil. Back then, even if it was you, Brother Wei, or Brother Dongqing, you both had to undergo two years of psychological therapy before being able to return to normal. In fact, if you ask me, its fine for Little Witch to have forgotten his past.

If you have to ask, then youd better find something to distract him. Dont trigger his psychological shadows halfway through!

A few minutes later, Wei s.h.i.+ held a bag of oranges and went to find Wu Jin, who was bathing the little Pterosaur by the river.

Wu Jin fell into a daze. It seemed that hed never seen the big boss carrying a plastic bag before, but looking at it seemed to be quite a unique experience!

There were quite a few people by the river. Red, who was nearby, jumped up directly, Brother Wei, youre here, ah, this place is very romantic. Hehehe, I wont bother you guys

Wei s.h.i.+ walked over to the riverside and sat down with Wu Jin.

The mans long, straight legs were folded casually, his s.h.i.+rt collar undone. Hed just come out of the tower, and the darkness in his gaze hadnt yet dispersed.

The big boss didnt say a word as he began to peel an orange.

Wu Jin was currently drying up the little Pterosaur. He ahh opened up his mouth and waited to be fed.

Wei s.h.i.+ stuffed a slice at him.

Wu Jin: Brother Wei, isnt it a little sour?

Wei s.h.i.+ stuffed him with another slice.

The small round face practically collapsed. Wu Jin puffed up his cheeks, Sour, ahh, sour, sour

Wei s.h.i.+: How old were you when you learned to dance?

Wu Jin hissed as he inhaled, all of his attention focused on the orange, Around seven years old. The dean said that there was a cla.s.s for anyone who was interested.

Wei s.h.i.+: Dean?

Wu Jin tried hard to digest the orange, I was abandoned as a child and sent to the welfare home!

Wei s.h.i.+s eyes flashed slightly. The Federation had generous fertility benefits, and few offspring were abandoned even if their parents were unmarried. Citizens were entered into the gene bank from birth and wouldnt be lost. Taking another ten thousand steps back, such a cute and well-behaved little boy would definitely be extremely popular on the adoption lists.

Wei s.h.i.+: And then?

Wu Jin finally understood. The big boss was trying to check his residency status! However, Wu Jin, as an illegal immigrant, wasnt afraid at all. He didnt understand how hed transmigrated over, but if the big boss could figure that out, then hed be a real immortal! He wouldnt just call him big boss, but would change his method of address and call him daddy instead!

Wu Jin was smart and honest, After that, I went to primary school, became a glorious student, and was even a little team leader for a year. I didnt need to take an examination for junior high school, and it was a.s.signed at random. After that, I attended junior high school. I was the first in my grade for the middle school entrance examination. In high school, I took science as my major, and then for the college entrance exam

The shadows in the mans eyes darkened, and he looked straight at Wu Jin, attempting to capture the subtlest of expressions on the youths face.

There were no flaws.

If it hadnt been for the blood tests, the emotional lock, and even the surveillance, even Wei s.h.i.+ himself would believe this memory.

Wei s.h.i.+ peeled off another slice of orange and distracted Wu Jins attention.

Wu Jin trembled and s.h.i.+vered as he looked at it.

Wei s.h.i.+: What about before seven?

Wu Jin: I-I dont remember! Ahh, the dean said that I was silly as a child. My brain development was relatively slow, maybe ahhhh dont peel it anymore, I dont want to eat it ahhh

A middle-aged lady who was fis.h.i.+ng by the river finally couldnt watch on anymore. She spoke in a critical tone, Dont bully others! Theres a military base beside us. If you keep using sour oranges to commit domestic violence towards your boyfriend, do you not think that I wont call the police on you?!

Then, she admonished Wu Jin, You as well. Why are you so obedient? Do you eat whatever he tells you to eat? Dont you know how to punch him

A few minutes later, Wu Jin smoothly ran away and gulped down mouthfuls of water at the entrance to the base.

Red laughed loudly, How could it be? How could we have such sour oranges in our base?! Oh, right, just now, someone gave my big brother a bunch of coupons. If you want to buy some weapons for self-defense, you can get some of them from me. Theyre for paint jobs and inscriptions

I originally also wanted to show you around the armory, but its been sealed up by Brother Wei over the past two days. Theres a whole bunch of decoration teams coming in and out, making a lot of noise

In the high tower.

Researcher Song received the feedback and was also stunned for a moment, The timeline doesnt match.

From the monitoring, it looks like Little Witch was at R-Code Base at least during the time when he went to primary school. Its impossible for one person to have two completely different sets of memories. Whats more, arts and sciencethe Federation divided them into four branches hundreds of years ago. Also, what is a team leader?!

The a.s.sistant to the side read through the materials, From Mr Wus description of his living environment, the expansion of the arts and science branches 800 years ago seemed to have taken place between the 20th and 22nd century. Over 90% of Mr Wus gene sequence can be matched to the East Asian genes recorded in the early 20th century. His ancestral background consists of 62.7% Southern Han, and 12.2% Yi Clan

Wei s.h.i.+: His common sense knowledge, and scientific and technological knowledge only goes up to the 21st century.

The a.s.sistant was stunned.

The research room suddenly fell silent. A long time later, the a.s.sistant began to tremble as he spoke up, Professor Song, do you think that its possible that time and s.p.a.ce was distorted, and he was sent over from a thousand years ago

Researcher Song turned his head.

Can monkeys recreate the

? For things that only exist in your imagination, the probability of them happening is 0.

It was absolutely impossible.

However, judging from the existing clues, all their speculation had come to a dead end.

In the silence, Wei s.h.i.+ spoke up, If he came out of the genetic reproduction room, The mans voice was cold, Go and find out who he was cloned from.

Researcher Song was suddenly inspired and came back to his senses.

Genetic reproduction would explain the problem of Wu Jins genetic sequence. If they could find the source for the reproduction, they could find R-Code Bases purpose in creating Wu Jin.

The a.s.sistant nodded quickly.

On the virtual screen, the computing core that calculated at ten thousand teramegabytes per second matched up Wu Jins genetic sequence with the source databases data samples.

Found it! The a.s.sistant spoke up excitedly, The genetic sample C72235AY8 is a 70% match with Mr Wus genes. Its stored inBlue Stars underground Warehouse 6. It was one of the warehouses that the R-Code paid out four years ago to cover their debts.

C72235AY8 samples owner information is only available on paper, and the data and remains are stored in the same warehouse.

Wei s.h.i.+ paused.

The mans fingers moved like electricity as he sent a message through the terminal. Soon, the technical team hacked into the monitoring feed for Warehouse 6.

This warehouse is very out of the way. n.o.bodys been in there for a few years since R-Code was disbanded. Researcher Song leaned over and said, Ill send someone over as soon as possible.

Wei s.h.i.+ s.h.i.+fted his gaze and looked at the sample bar code marked C72235AY8.

Little Witch was genetically reproduced, not cloned. Researcher Song spoke in a low voice, Also, ones growth environment, personality, and emotional influences all determine how life unfolds.

Wei s.h.i.+ nodded and looked down at the base of the tower, his gaze following the last rays of light before twilight. Wu Jin, who was modestly learning how to use an anesthetic dagger from the guard team, had bright and sparkling eyes.

The one and only.

At night.

Red drove a flashy suspension car and ran to the market with Wu Jin under Wei s.h.i.+s instructions. By the time the two of them came back, they had eaten so much they lay there in the suspension car and couldnt get down. Reds stack of coupons was now short one gun customization voucher.

Wu Jin repeatedly told Red to keep it a secret.

Red patted his chest in guarantee, done!

Floating City was different from the Crosson Base. Without Captain Zoes surveillance, Wu Jin was bold enough to live in the big bosss mansion.

With a city full of flamingos to play with, the black cat was unwilling to return home even late at night.

Outside the window, the mist was scented with flowers, and lights were scattered here and there. On the other side of the window, a soft, p.r.o.ne Wu Jin was sprawled out on the big bed.

The big boss was in the tower nearby.

The old antique radio was still tuned in to the same channel.

Going further down the agricultural economic road. The holiday edition of the breeding course, FM 126.X. h.e.l.lo, Azure Cosmoss

will teach you how to dye a rabbit pink to adapt them to the festive atmosphere

The robot was very solicitous toward Wu Jin, sending in supper, gaming machines, a virtual cinema account, and mobile game money card, as well as a champagne rose.

Wu Jin turned off the radio and lay down on the bed to reply to messages on his terminal.

Hudi had sent over a music demo. Wu Jin hummed for a long time and modified his high pitched accompaniment for him.

Thin Fire: Im partic.i.p.ating in the selection for the most attractive male in womenswear in the compet.i.tion circles. Click the link to vote for me!

Wu Jin voted and helped pa.s.s on the link.

Caesar:

bmd

Wu Jin received this secret code and quickly ordered delivery for Caesar, arranging to have it sent over to White Moonlight in secret.

Ever since Zoe had started regularly monitoring Caesars terminals sent messages, Caesar only used the first letter of every word to send secret messages.

Caesar:

idfs

Wu Jin: Brother Caesar, dont worry! Generally speaking, it will be very difficult for Brother Caesar to starve to death!

Caesar: npydxtwl, wygzyndw, qdnbd.

Wu Jins eyes dimmed, He-he couldnt understand it.

The last message at the bottom contained the dormitory surveillance video from the Crosson logistics department.

Wu Jin suddenly remembered that there was still this matter. During the fifth elimination match, the black cat seemed to have done something strange to the health care pillow, making the little Pterosaur very angry.

He quickly went through the whole weeks surveillance video.

The pets entered Wu Jins bedroom several times, but none of them touched the pillow.

Wu Jin: Eh?

He rewound the surveillance. The black cat ran in and licked Brother Rabbit twice. There was a six hour difference between the two incidents, and the cats movements had been exactly the same both times.

It was as though the same video recording had been played back again.

In the Floating Base tower.

Wei s.h.i.+ had just come out of the armory when he suddenly received a message from Mao Dongqing.

Just now, a man had appeared in the surveillance camera in Warehouse #6 that held C72235AY8,

Shao Yu, who had disappeared.

Mao Dongqing: Shao Yus goal is probably also the sample.

Wei s.h.i.+s eyes darkened. The suspension car arrived quickly, Wait for me.

Juurensha: Little Witchs mysterious past! But its probably good he forgot it.

xiin: Wei s.h.i.+ is so so so so sneaky with those sour oranges. and all that secrecy around the armory owo
