In the water dungeon, Jimmy's expression was still angry … but since 'Tang Tianlin' started asking questions, he started to panic.
"How do you know about the perfect human …"
'Tang Tianlin' said indifferently, "Is it strange … or have you forgotten what kind of people were in the original lab?"
Jimmy lowered his head and didn't say anything.
The original lab … Will Douglas, Qin Zheng, Nan Xiaonan … several names flashed through his mind.
"I don't know." Jimmy raised his head. "House didn't tell me about the perfect human cells … I was just a tool in his hands. Do you think he would tell me all his secrets?"
'Tang Tianlin' said coldly, "If you were really just House's personal assistant … but you're not."
Jimmy frowned. He was at an absolute disadvantage in the current situation. His life was in the other party's hands — but as long as this guy was interested in the perfect human cells, at least he had a chance to negotiate … even though he really didn't know where House hid the cells.
"I'm really just House's personal assistant." Jimmy shook his head. "Did you misunderstand something? Do you think I'm his illegitimate son?"
'Tang Tianlin' glanced at Jimmy and seemed to realize something. "So you still don't know your identity … Well, with House's suspicious and distrustful personality, he wouldn't tell you this."
"Qin Zheng! Don't play riddles with me!! "he roared with all his might.
'Tang Tianlin' sighed. "It's okay to tell you … I've said before, you're just House's first failed product — and, and you're from the original lab, created by me and my teacher."
"Nonsense!!!" Jimmy's expression suddenly became extremely angry … angry and frightened.
'Tang Tianlin' said indifferently, "That's the truth. The cloning technology has been around for a long time. Why do you think House waited until today to start his plan? It was true that Haus wanted immortality, but the initial concept was not like this, where his consciousness would enter a new body … Of course, reality proved that this was impossible. At least, with the current technology of mankind, it was impossible. So, since my teacher was taken away, House has been living in a nightmare that he might never wake up from. "
"I don't know what you're talking about, I don't know what you're talking about …" Jimmy's voice trembled … something he had never thought about … something that made him feel terrified.
"Don't you find it strange?" 'Tang Tianlin sneered. "You've been by House's side and work for him, so you should know his character the best. Let me be clear … Why do you think you're important to him? Do you think you're really outstanding and surpass everyone? "
"I …"
"You're just a replacement that House cloned in the beginning." 'Tang Tianlin' looked at the man with pity. "In the beginning, House didn't want to transfer his consciousness … He just wanted to have a complete and healthy body that could provide him with fresh energy at any time. It was also genetically compatible with his body so that there wouldn't be any form of rejection. Simply put, you're a part that House created. You're even his last resort. If he couldn't survive until the experiment succeeded, you'd probably be sent to the operating table to provide enough organs for his body. "
"Nonsense!!!" Jimmy roared. "I'm me, I'm Tang Tianlin, I'm nobody!!! I have complete memories, from birth to now! "
"Don't lie to yourself … Do you remember anything before you were ten years old?" 'Tang Tianlin' shook his head. "The only memories you've experienced are these few years. Before that, you've been under a kind of hypnosis since you were born. We couldn't transfer your consciousness back then, but through hypnosis and drugs, we could still give you a complete life. "
"Bullsh * t! Bullsh * t! Bullsh * t!!! "
He madly used the iron chain to stir the water prison, and water splashed everywhere.
But at that moment, 'Tang Tianlin' took out a kerosene lighter from his clothes. He opened it and closed it, and the sound of metal clashing could be heard clearly.
Jimmy didn't know what he was doing. Like a beast, he rushed to the edge of the water prison and tried to climb up … but to no avail. His nails even fell off from clawing at the wall.
'Tang Tianlin' was expressionless. He just slowly said some words that were unrelated and had unknown meanings in various languages. "Snake, butterfly, paper, Leonardo da Vinci, 17, Femme, Lalibertàdi."
Jimmy, who was on the verge of losing control, slowly calmed down after Tang Tianlin's voice and the sound of the lighter. In the end, he even stood still in the water without moving an inch.
'Tang Tianlin' finally said, "? Return to Ashi. "
Jimmy instantly seemed to have been wound up. His eyes were empty, but his voice slowly continued, "Snake, butterfly, paper, Leonardo da Vinci, 17, Femme, Lalibertàdi …? Return to Ashi. "
'Tang Tianlin' smiled and put away the lighter. He looked at Jimmy and said in a low voice, "Welcome back … No. 1, do you still remember me? I'm Qin Zheng."
"Hello, Mr. Qin …" Jimmy said word by word. His eyes were still empty.
"I need information about the perfect human cells." 'Tang Tianlin' said slowly, "How much did House tell you? Tell me all of it."
"He never told me anything about the perfect human cells," Jimmy said slowly.
'Tang Tianlin' frowned and said, "But you obviously know about the perfect human cells."
Jimmy raised his head slowly. "This is information I obtained by accident. It was information about the perfect human cells when I overheard House talking to someone on the phone again."
"Phone call? Do you remember the content? "'Tang Tianlin' stared and asked.
Jimmy said, "Saint … ritual … he seemed to be begging the person on the other side of the phone. He hoped that the other party could help him get rid of the pain of his illness. He hoped that he could accept the first …"
"Accept … first?" 'Tang Tianlin' frowned. Jimmy stopped. He couldn't help but ask, "First what?"
Jimmy shook his head. "He found me outside and immediately cut off the call. Since then, he rarely talked to anyone on the phone in front of me. "
"Accept … first," 'Tang Tianlin' walked back and forth on the water prison and whispered, "Saint … ritual?"
'Tang Tianlin' suddenly turned around and looked at Jimmy. "Since you found it strange, didn't you do anything?"
Jimmy was in a state of asking and answering questions. He thought slowly and said slowly, "I traced the source of the call … it was a call from the United Kingdom, probably from Middlesbrough."
'Tang Tianlin' muttered, "Has House been to Middlesbrough in the past few years?"
Jimmy shook his head. "He's been in China all this time. He hasn't left."
'Tang Tianlin' continued to ask, "Does he have any secret properties in the United Kingdom?"
Jimmy said directly, "He has a manor in Middlesbrough, two ranches, two yachts, and a private jet."
'Tang Tianlin' stared at Jimmy for a long time before slowly exhaling. He took out the lighter again and let it emit the same rhythmic sound. At the same time, he reversed the disorderly and meaningless words he had said before and read them again. "…? Return to shi. "
"Lalibertàdi, Femme, 17 …"
While Jimmy was repeating those words, 'Tang Tianlin' had already left the water prison without making a sound.
At last, Jimmy said slowly, "? Return to shi. "
His body suddenly trembled. His empty eyes regained clarity. He felt the cold water and the pain from his fingers … He roared again.
He couldn't remember what happened … When did the other party leave? He didn't even know. However, the feeling of being controlled made him feel fear that he had never felt before!
…
When 'Tang Tianlin' returned to the office on the ground and closed the secret passage, more than an hour had passed.
He sat alone in this luxurious office and seemed to be thinking about something. He muttered to himself, "The woman that night seemed to be Nan … but how did Nan's hands become so good? Could it be … No, the voice, the reminder, and the face shape are almost the same. Even if there's something to hide, I shouldn't be mistaken … "
He sighed slowly and stood up. "Maybe I should get in touch with Nan … using the identity of 'Tang Tianlin'. But, now is not the time … "
Thinking of this, he pressed the landline on his desk. "Prepare a car for me."
"Assistant Tang, where are you going?"
'Tang Tianlin' thought for a while and said, "Let's go to the hospital. I want to see Mr. House's condition."
"Yes, Assistant Tang."
…
…
Beijing time, 22: 23 PM.
The building called the Temple of Heaven had turned off all its decorative lights … and the tourists had also left. This place was empty, extremely empty.
Above the huge round altar was the dim night sky.
A young man in his twenties with a square face was walking slowly in front of the square of the Temple of Heaven with his hands behind his back. It was still very cold, but this young man's clothes were so thin.
He didn't seem to be cold. What was more strange was that when the cold wind blew, it automatically separated from him … but it was late at night and there was no one nearby, so this strange scene was not seen by others.
"Built during the Yongle period …" The young man sighed slowly and murmured in the night wind, "How many things have I missed …"
He looked at the night sky of the entire capital from here.
It didn't take him much time to come here from the coastal area of Minnan. But the moment he stepped into this huge historical capital, he felt a sense of restraint.
He could feel that there was something terrible buried under the capital. "What kind of expert could set up such a big array … Could it be the successor of the Cotton Sect?"
He didn't forget why he came to the capital alone this time … He needed to find the Zhao family, who claimed to be the most orthodox descendant of the Zhao family.
But it didn't seem easy … because of the omnipresent pressure in the capital — ordinary people didn't feel it, but at his level, he could easily sense it.
Especially when he used the most extreme method to force himself to stay in the world of the living. Maybe he was better than demons, but compared to ghosts, he wasn't much worse.
The closer he got to the center, the more the righteous energy of heaven and earth, and even the vigorous human aura of this country, faintly suppressed him to the point that he couldn't breathe.
But after all, he was once the emperor of a dynasty. Even though the Zhao family's dragon veins had been broken, there were still some remnants … Someone had an outstanding descendant with great luck, and there were faint signs of the Zhao family's dragon veins being reformed. He, the former emperor of a dynasty, got some benefits instead, so he wouldn't be treated as a ghost by the array under the capital.
But he had to be careful.
"Forget it." He shook his head, "Let's wait for Gong Fanxing to find us."
Thinking about it, he felt a little dispirited … On one hand, the luck of this new country was so strong that it made him feel rather powerless. On the other hand, after going north and seeing the progress of the modern world, he felt like he was walking into an illusion.
He didn't even know if it was right or wrong for him to wake up a thousand years later.
"It's such a good night, it's a pity not to drink …"
But just as he turned to leave, a long voice came from behind him … He frowned and turned around, only to see a figure walking on the moon above the altar.
He was wearing a white Tang suit, and his hair was mixed with gray and black. He was holding a pot of wine in his hand.
Finally … the man in the white Tang suit landed in front of him as light as a feather. He said with a smile that was not a smile, "When did such a terrifying martial arts expert come to the capital? I actually didn't know. I've been too lazy recently."
He frowned … The man in the Tang suit gave him an extremely dangerous feeling — this person was even more powerful than his previous subordinate, Gongsun Wuwo, who had died in the hands of Song Haoran.
He couldn't help but narrow his eyes, "I … I'm also very curious that there is such a martial arts practitioner in this world. How should I address you? "
The man in the Tang suit smiled slightly, took a sip of wine, and said with a smile, "Those who know me all call me an old man."
He couldn't help but smile, and then said seriously, "When an old man is angry, blood flows like a river … What an old man!"
Old man … Fire Cloud Evil God looked up and down at this young man — it was easy to see through the age of a martial artist, but Fire Cloud Evil God really couldn't see through this person … He couldn't see through his age, but only felt that he was evil and terrifying. His whole body was like a blood demon, full of murderous aura, but there was a strange dragon aura protecting him.
