"Trouble? What kind of trouble are you referring to?" E-Goat was puzzled. "Did she owe an online loan, or did she lose too much money in the stock market?"
"I'm referring to the kind of trouble where her personal freedom is likely to have been controlled," Zhang Heng said.
E-Goat showed a look of contempt. "Your excuse this time is too ridiculous. Even if I'm that gullible, you should at least put a little more effort into it." "I'm not making it up.
Xu Qian is probably a clone, "Zhang Heng said straightforwardly. "You have been watching her livestream. You should know that the number of viewers in her livestream has been declining during this period. I think it's because of the decline in her output that her company has the idea of … taking her back. I have always suspected that her boyfriend, Qiu Ming, is the one who came to take her back. Otherwise, there's no way to explain why such a perfect man would appear in front of her when her career is at its lowest point. It's like a fairy tale. And now, I have investigated it clearly. Xu Qian's experience on the first level doesn't exist."
E-Goat's mouth was wide open for a full half a minute before he said in admiration, "Even if I fantasize every day, at most, I can only imagine her boyfriend's company suddenly going bankrupt, becoming penniless, living on the streets, grabbing my trouser leg and asking me for money, only to be kicked away by me. Bro, you are the one who dares to imagine it."
"…"
"I'm not joking," Zhang Heng said seriously.
E-Goat was surprised when he heard this. "You are her bodyguard. This kind of thing should be easy to detect. Just take a picture of the back of her neck and see if there is a code on it. Then, you will know if she is a clone."
"Well, I have done some investigations, and I have reason to suspect that there is another batch of clones without a code on the back of their necks in New Shanghai 0297. Do you remember the marketing manager we met at Zhuorui Sensors?"
"That guy named Liao Ming?"
"Well, didn't you hack into his personal terminal last time and copy his information? After that, I followed the information and found that his memory also has a lot to do with reality, especially the memory of his ex-wife," Zhang Heng said as he took out a USB flash drive. Zhang Heng took out a USB flash drive. "This is the result of my investigation. You can verify it yourself."
E-Goat took the USB drive suspiciously and took out the handheld computer from his bag. He didn't look for a place to sit. He just stood by the side of the road and watched the audio, video, and text information on the USB drive.
"There is no code on the back of Liao Ming's neck."
"How could this be?" E-Goat's expression finally changed. He seemed to have thought of something and subconsciously reached out to touch his neck.
"Yes, we can't rule out this possibility," Zhang Heng said. "If you have time, you can also check your memory."
E-Goat opened his mouth to say something, but then closed it again. He looked around nervously before lowering his voice and said, "Do you know what it means if your guess is correct?"
"Let me think, everyone in New Shanghai 0297 is in danger?"
"Yes, because everyone has always relied on the code on the back of their neck and the locator in their head to distinguish between clones and non-clones. If this method doesn't work, everything will be a mess." E-Goat paused and said, "Do you know how many clones there are in New Shanghai 0297?"
"I don't know, but this is what you and I need to find out next. Not only for Xu Qian, but also for yourself," Zhang Heng said.
E-Goat reached out and wiped the sweat on his forehead. "This is too big. You have to let me think about it."
"I don't have a problem, but I don't know how long I can wait for Xu Qian."
The expression on E-Goat's face was very interesting. Zhang Heng couldn't tell if it was fear, frustration, hope, or joy. After about half a minute, he seemed to have finally made up his mind. He broke the Hulusi in his hand, threw it into the trash can beside him, and gritted his teeth. "I'll do it."
"Very well, I didn't lie to you. If we can save Xu Qian this time, then you and her really have a good chance. I just don't know if you will mind her identity as a clone now."
"I don't mind if she is a clone or an ordinary person because what I like is not her identity, but her person," E-Goat said without thinking. E-Goat said without thinking, but then he hesitated. "But I'm just a network engineer. Even if I save her, I don't know how to protect her from her company. Or, we can talk to the company behind her directly. I can use my salary to make up for the lost money she earns."
"Do you think her company will accept this proposal?"
E-Goat could not help but feel discouraged when he heard that. Zhang Heng patted him on the shoulder. "Don't worry. Maybe it won't take long for your problem to be solved. New Shanghai 0297 is not very stable right now. Something will happen soon. But before that, we have to rescue Xu Qian first."
"Well, what do you want me to do next?" E-Goat asked.
"Let's go to Xu Qian's residence first. It would be best if she is there."
…
The reason why Zhang Heng wanted to bring E-Goat along was not only because Zhang Heng had already died once, but also because E-Goat's network technology was quite useful. Although Zhang Heng's own technical level was very good, he had to be responsible for fighting the enemy. Having someone in charge of logistics could also share some of his pressure.
Soon, the two arrived at Xu Qian's apartment. E-Goat waited for a while, and when there were fewer people coming in and out of the gate, he walked up, took out a magnetic card with an anime sticker from his pocket, and swiped it on the access control.
Then, a friendly female voice sounded, "Welcome, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu, the owners of Unit 309, Unit 12, have returned to Yacheng Apartment. It has been detected that both of you have administrator rights at the same time. The monitoring system will not record your entry and exit records, and the relevant videos will be deleted."
"Done!" E-Goat put away the magnetic card and found Zhang Heng looking at him. He touched his nose, "What's wrong?"
"Zhuge Liang? Zhou Yu? Do you have to make it so exaggerated? Are you afraid that others won't know that we are using fake names? "
"Sorry, naming is my weakness. It's much harder than programming." E-Goat's apologetic attitude made Zhang Heng speechless. After that, the two walked into the apartment building and took the elevator.
Zhang Heng took out the pistol at his waist, checked the clip, and then opened the safety. E-Goat, who was on the side, was able to control his emotions well, but when he saw this scene, he suddenly became nervous.
"Don't be afraid. It's just in case," Zhang Heng said lightly.
