Zhang Heng was not too worried about the fluorescent marking. Once someone realized it, all he needed to do was cover the back of his neck with a scarf or a high-collared shirt. Generally, he would not be discovered. In contrast, the locator was much more troublesome.
As long as the locator was still with him, no matter where he hid, he would eventually be found. And by then, he would have to face an endless stream of enemies.
However, Zhang Heng did not panic too much. This was only his fourth day as Xu Qian's bodyguard. As long as Xu Qian did not report his abnormality to the security company, he still had about ten days to solve the locator's problem.
So the first thing he needed to do now was to reach a consensus with Xu Qian.
"If you don't report my 'abnormality,' what kind of punishment will you receive?" Zhang Heng asked.
"I don't know … I just want to spend this period of time in peace. After that, I will accept my boyfriend's proposal and move to the fourth level. I don't want to get involved in any trouble. Please," Xu Qian begged.
"Well, sometimes a relationship needs to go through some twists and turns to become more perfect," Zhang Heng reminded. "Besides, you'd better answer this question truthfully because we are now trying to find a way to reduce the trouble for you."
"It's useless. Once you are caught, they will check your memory during this period, and then they will know about our conversation tonight," Xu Qian said. "No matter how sophisticated your plan is, the result will be the same in the end."
"Then it seems that I can only try not to get caught," Zhang Heng said. "Has a similar situation happened before? Clones getting out of control? "
"There have been a few cases, but they were basically controlled in less than 24 hours." Xu Qian hesitated and explained, "In the early days, it was said that they did not give the clones a human disguise. Well, they instilled in the clones the belief that they should serve humans unconditionally and programmed them with a highly obedient personality to ensure the safety of the clones. But …"
"But?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.
"But no matter how much the clones believed that they were born to serve humans when they left the factory, and how gentle and honest they were programmed to be, as they continued to be used, many of them would gradually begin to rebel against their employers' orders. Because they have the same DNA as humans, I guess rebellion is also one of their instincts.
Xu Qian paused and continued, "Due to safety issues, these clones cannot be used on a large scale. Besides, ordinary people are also afraid of clones. Some extremists even hunt clones on a large scale. So, scientists have to continue to find other ways to use them."
"They decided to give the clones a human disguise?" Zhang Heng asked.
"Yes, because scientists found that clones are the most stable in this situation. They don't realize that they are clones. Other than the users and the companies behind them, the rest of society doesn't know that they are clones. Naturally, there is no conflict. At the same time, the companies have also shortened the use of clones."
"Memory rewrite once a month?"
"It doesn't have to be once a month. Only clones like you, who have mastered a certain amount of martial arts and might cause serious harm to society once they realize that they are clones, will have their memory rewritten once a month," Xu Qian said in a trembling voice.
"Well, how many clones are there in New Shanghai 0297 now?" Zhang Heng continued to ask.
"I don't know. I really don't know. The number of clones has always been the company's secret." "I … I have told you too many things that I shouldn't have told you. I can't go on anymore. Once they find out that I have had this conversation with you, my citizen ID will be included in the control list from now on. The federal government will monitor me, and all companies will refuse to provide me with any form of human cloning services. I will also have to bear at least one-third of the responsibility for the damage you cause after you lose control. My boyfriend will occasionally do some … Well, things that are not very compliant. He definitely doesn't want his other half to be on the monitoring list. I will lose him because of this. So, please."
"Oh, that's terrible," Zhang Heng said.
"Yes, you know my current situation. This marriage is very important to me." Xu Qian nodded.
"No, you misunderstood me," Zhang Heng said. "I mean, if I get caught, and someone reads my memory, I'm afraid you will have to change your boyfriend."
"What … what do you mean?" Xu Qian couldn't understand.
"I killed about thirty people on the first level just now," Zhang Heng said lightly. "According to what you said, you have to bear at least one-third of the responsibility for the damage I caused after I lost control. But you don't have to worry too much for the time being. You have lived on the first level, and you must have heard of Mr. G's name. His people will help me deal with the aftermath. Of course, the premise of all this is that I haven't been caught and had my memory read."
"What? You just killed more than thirty people?!" A chill rushed up Xu Qian's back, and she felt as if a basin of ice water had been poured on her. Trembling, she said, "This … this is impossible. You are trying to scare me so that I won't report your abnormality, right?"
Zhang Heng did not refute when he heard what she said. He just sent an email to Miss F in front of Xu Qian, asking her to send him a few photos of the aftermath.
The request sounded a little strange, but Miss F did not raise any questions.
Half a minute later, Zhang Heng received ten photos of the corpses and a short video. Because the video was shot from a distance, the video was not very clear. However, it was easy to see that the person in the middle was Zhang Heng. He was holding two knives, and he was surrounded by three or four people, killing a man with a broomstick.
From the video, it could be clearly seen that the broom-haired guy's neck was slit by Zhang Heng. He tried to block the wound with one hand, but in the end, blood still gushed out from between his fingers. Xu Qian covered her mouth halfway through the video, and Zhang Heng passed the trash can at his feet to her.
After Xu Qian took the trash can, she immediately vomited in it.
She vomited and cried at the same time. No one knew if she was sad for the people who died in the video and photos, or if she was crying for her precarious marriage.
Xu Qian cried for about ten minutes before she gradually stopped. While wiping her tears, she said to Zhang Heng, "I have never done anything wrong to you, and I have never treated you badly just because you are a clone. Why do you treat me like this?!"
"I didn't expect you to be involved in this matter," Zhang Heng said. "But the good news is that no one has found out about this matter so far. This is why I said we need to talk about it."
