【Chapter 467, Epilogue】

Tang Ci had already compiled the guest list for the wedding and handed it to Xiao Lou. Because Long Sen sealed the area around the church with marble bricks in time, no one could escape.

What just happened was too unbelievable, the clones, the ability to heal, the regeneration of severed limbs... It was like watching a movie, people couldn't believe it was real!

When the church calmed down again, no one in the audience dared to speak. Most of them lowered their heads and shivered in fear. The church was so quiet that even breathing could not be heard.

Xiao Lou glanced around and said calmly: "What happened in the church today will not be reported by the media. Everyone here should also know what to say and what not to say."

He looked at Yu Hanjiang, who nodded, walked to His Highness the Prince, and said coldly: "His Majesty was old and frail. He suffered a cerebral infarction due to excessive excitement at the wedding and died unexpectedly. The Prince and Princess were on their way back, Encountering an assassination, the Crown Princess and General Lin were unfortunately killed by the assassin in order to protect His Royal Highness. The assassin's name was Rod Bell, and he was a star thief wanted by the Stellan Federation for many years."

Hearing the captain of the Royal Guard speak these words calmly, everyone at the scene gasped.

Confusing right and wrong, confusing the public and hearing, nothing he said is true!

However, after all, His Majesty is the king of the Luoke Empire and Xiao Lou's biological father. If he doesn't find a suitable excuse, how can Xiao Lou explain that he burned his father, sister, father-in-law and fiancée to death at the wedding banquet?

What will the people think of him?

What's more, the replicator project has broken the bottom line of scientific ethics. Making all this public will only cause panic among the people. What is even more worrying is that if there are crazy scientists who become interested in gene replication after hearing these truths and start related research again... there is no guarantee that they will develop version 4.0 of replicants.

The best thing to do is to bury this secret forever, destroy all data about Noah's Ark, and completely terminate the copying of human genes.

Xiao Lou decided to use hypnosis to make these guests forget what happened today.

Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci underwent hypnosis after being rescued from the Mermaid Tribe. The Mermaid Tribe is the best at hypnosis. Before the wedding, Xiao Lou had already found a way to inform Liu Qiao that Senior Gui was on his way to the Luoke Empire. , will arrive soon.

Outside the door, Lu Jiuchuan drove the Arrow starship that had been prepared for a long time to the apron above the church. Long Sen put away the marble floor tiles. All the people in the church were escorted to the starship by Lu Jiuchuan and Yu Hanjiang, and secretly sent to the preparation room. Nice manor.

That night, the Empire News Network published a heavy obituary——

"At the wedding banquet of Prince Xiao Lou, His Majesty suffered a cerebral infarction due to excessive excitement, and died after ineffective resuscitation. On the way back, the Princess and General Lin were killed by assassins. The Prince was injured and is being sent to the hospital for treatment."

The happy event turned into a funeral. People were very worried about Xiao Lou's condition. Reporters gathered at the entrance of the hospital.

Yu Hanjiang, the captain of the Royal Guard, told reporters with a cold face that His Highness only suffered external injuries and is currently in a stable condition. However, having lost a loved one on the wedding day, His Highness Xiao Lou felt heavy and did not want to accept any interviews for the time being.

At the forum, many people spontaneously laid flowers for His Majesty and prayed for the Prince.

Dark clouds were gathering over the empire, and the people were worried.

Everyone who attended the wedding banquet did not go home that night.

When they woke up the next day, their memories of the wedding reception were almost the same as what was described in the news. However, they always felt that their memories of the wedding banquet were a bit fuzzy, as if something was wrong, but they couldn't remember what went wrong.

At this time, His Royal Highness Xiao Lou, who claimed to be "injured in an assassination", was standing in the laboratory on the top floor of the Royal Hospital.

In front of him were two petri dishes, in which lay his closest family members in the world.

On the left is His Majesty, and on the right is sister Xiao Rou.

Both people are already in a state of "brain death", which means that their body organs and tissues are still working normally, but the cells in their brains have lost their activity, like two vegetative people who will never wake up.

After Yu Hanjiang finished dealing with the reporters, when he came to the laboratory on the top floor, he found Xiao Lou standing in front of two petri dishes with a serious expression and a thoughtful look on his face.

Yu Hanjiang walked up to him, gently held his shoulders, and asked, "Is there anything else you haven't figured out yet?"

Xiao Lou said: "The Xiao Rou in the laboratory looks like she is only about 20 years old, which is the age she was when she got married. Obviously, her body was frozen here before she got married. In other words, The Princess Xiao Rou who married into the Blue Empire 20 years ago was actually a replica."

Yu Hanjiang looked at the young girl in the petri dish, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes, and he whispered: "Before Xiao Rou got married, she hugged you and said that you must grow up quickly... Was that girl at that time really Xiao Rou? Copy version of Xiao Rou?"

In my childhood memory, my sister walked down the long red carpet of the palace in a pure white wedding dress. There was no bride's joy in her expression, but a hint of loneliness. When she leaned over and spoke into Xiao Lou's ear, her voice was very gentle.

Xiao Lou always felt that that person should be real. The reluctance in her tone and the nostalgia in her eyes didn't seem to be fake. Moreover, there is no need for the clone to disguise himself in front of the 5-year-old Xiao Lou.

Xiao Lou took a deep breath

Qi kept his brain calm and said softly: "The sister who left the palace in a wedding dress must be real and was switched on the way. 20 years ago, Xiao Rou saw the copied me and herself in the laboratory. She should I also met Rod Bell, the star thief, who was in the clone laboratory at the time."

Yu Hanjiang thought carefully for a moment and speculated: "In other words, Xiao Rou met Rod Bell in the laboratory, and probably under his instigation, she let the clone marry to the blue planet on her behalf?"

Xiao Lou nodded: "This star thief is extremely cunning. Xiao Rou was just a simple princess at the time. She didn't want to marry a man she didn't love, so she was temporarily seduced by the star thief and agreed to let the replica marry on her behalf. So, she acted out a scene with the star thief, leaving the palace in a wedding dress, but in the middle of the show, she was replaced by a clone."

Yu Hanjiang followed this line of thinking and said: "Unfortunately, she didn't expect that the so-called 'replacement' was a replacement in the true sense - from then on, the clone became Princess Xiao Rou, but she was put into a petri dish by the Star Thief. Will you never wake up again?"

Xiao Lou nodded: "Yes, the words I said to her in the palace when I was 5 years old actually meant goodbye forever."

Yu Hanjiang frowned and said: "Xiao Rou's clone was probably conscious at that time and listened to the words of Rod Bell, the star thief. She and the star thief cooperated with each other to guide General Lin's Egret starship, Came to the deep sea where the mermaid tribe is located on the blue planet, encountered a whirlpool in the sea and crashed?"

The star thief has been traveling around the universe these years, selling precious minerals. He may have known about the mermaids for a long time, borrowed knives to kill people, and killed an entire group of humans searching for starships.

Everyone has already guessed what will happen next.

Rod Bell fused the Zerg genes, survived in the deep sea, deleted the information of the Noah's Ark project, and cooperated with the fake Xiao Rou to build a secret laboratory in the mermaid tribe.

On the surface, Princess Xiaorou has been monitored by her husband Herman.

In fact, it should be the other way around - it was the fake Xiao Rou who had been monitoring her husband Herman, and through her husband, she kept abreast of the trends in the empire, and then reported them to Rod Bell.

Therefore, when Rod Bell developed version 3.0 of the clones, he sent the invisible man to the Twin Palace to find Xiao Lou and guided Xiao Lou to search for clues. When Xiao Lou found out about the Blue Planet, the fake Xiao Rou induced them to check out the fishing village, leading them step by step into the trap of the deep-sea mermaid palace.

Rod Bell is a hunter, and fake Xiao Rou is the tool he uses.

Yu Hanjiang took Xiao Lou's right hand, looked at the ring on his finger, and asked, "How should you explain the spirit fox activation ring that your Majesty gave you?"

Xiao Lou looked at the petri dish and said, "How old do you think the father in the petri dish is?"

Yu Hanjiang looked back and said, "He is about the same age as His Majesty who was burned to death yesterday."

Xiao Lou said: "Is it possible that the His Majesty we met when we first entered the secret room was actually real? Therefore, he will summon you to test whether you can distinguish the real Xiao Lou from the fake, and give you the key to the smart mecha. Launcher."

Yu Hanjiang was very surprised by Xiao Lou's speculation: "You mean, maybe His Majesty was real at the beginning. He still had some father-son affection for you, the genuine prince, so he gave you a mecha that can defend yourself—— Later, His Majesty was replaced by a clone?"

Xiao Loudao: "It's most likely because the hunters failed to kill us in the Mermaid Palace, and they failed to let us crash with the Dark Night starship, and we also resolved the siege on us in the Zerg underground labyrinth - Continuous After three operations failed, they had no choice but to make a desperate move and issue an ultimatum to us on the capital planet."

If this is the case, the real His Majesty may have been killed in the past few days and replaced by a clone.

Although His Majesty is crazy and perverted, he will not personally kill his own son. He just "raises the poison plan" to let all children compete fairly, because No. 2 Xiaolou beside him has the self-healing ability of the Zerg. , so he gave his own son a mecha to balance the strengths of the two.

How did he die? And when was it replaced by a clone?

A figure flashed through Xiao Lou's mind and he suddenly said: "By the way, where is No. 3 Xiao Lou?"

Yu Hanjiang was slightly startled: "You mean, the one I saw next to His Majesty who was slow to react and obeyed His Majesty... Xiao Lou No. 3?"

Xiao Lou said: "We met three self-aware Xiao Lou clones in this secret room. No. 2 attended the engagement party and birthday party, and his demeanor and temperament were the most like the original ones; No. 3 is the obedient, well-behaved, and respectful person you have seen. A very obedient prince; No. 4 was taken away by General Lin, fell into the deep sea and was rescued by the mermaid tribe; No. 5, improved on No. 4, became the prince of the mermaid tribe and a hunter."

He paused, looked back at Yu Hanjiang, and said seriously: "No. 4, No. 5 and all the Xiaolou replicas of the Mermaid Tribe have been burned by us. No. 2 was killed by us at today's wedding banquet, but... No. 3 Woolen cloth?"

Yu Hanjiang was shocked: "No. 3 never showed up. I only saw him once."

Moreover, it was analyzed through his behavior and eyes that the Xiao Lou who was beside His Majesty was not the same person as the Xiao Lou who attended the birthday party. Yu Hanjiang defined these two people as replicas No. 2 and 3.

During this period, it was always No. 2 who appeared in public, and he was the one who looked most like Xiao Lou.

Among all the clones, No. 3 is the one with the weakest sense of existence. He has always been by His Majesty's side, obscurity, like a well-behaved and obedient pet...

What if he suddenly attacks His Majesty?

Your Majesty will definitely be caught off guard.

The replicants are a community of interests, and with the existence of the version 3.0 chip, they are easily controlled by Rod Bell.

Xiao Lou said: "While we were rushing back to the capital star, the star thief controlled Xiao Lou No. 3 and asked him to attack His Majesty. He killed His Majesty and hid it in the laboratory on the top floor of the hospital. Then he awakened His Majesty's replica and made him A replica to replace His Majesty. They wanted to get rid of us at the wedding banquet, but they missed one person - Zhang Shaohua."

Since Xiao Lou did not find Zhang Shaohua's own genes among the skeletons found on the deep-sea sunken ship, he deduced that Professor Zhang from Capital Star was the authentic one.

Zhang Shaohua, who pretended to be crazy and acted like a fool, helped Xiao Lou find the most original information, allowing them to determine that there was something wrong with the identities of His Majesty and Xiao Rou, make detailed action plans in advance, and complete a crisp counterattack at the wedding banquet.

Rod Bell's hunting plan failed again.

Xiao Lou said: "I wonder if he will make trouble again? I have to stabilize the situation as soon as possible."

Yu Hanjiang nodded, looked at him gently and said, "Don't worry, I will make arrangements."

***

The next day, reporters announced that Prince Xiaolou was discharged from the hospital successfully.

The imperial cabinet held an emergency meeting and successfully passed the proposal for the only prince Xiao Lou to inherit the throne.

On the day Xiao Lou succeeded to the throne, the Royal Guards, led by Yu Hanjiang, escorted him all the way. Yu Hanjiang held Xiao Lou's arm and personally delivered Xiao Lou to the entrance of the largest palace in the Imperial Palace.

Xiao Lou, who was wearing the imperial attire, looked calm and majestic, and walked calmly up the white steps towards the exquisite and luxurious throne.

He turned around, faced the officials from all walks of life in the hall, and slowly sat on the throne that symbolized the highest power.

Everyone put their right hands on their chests and bowed neatly: "Your Majesty."

Xiao Lou smiled and raised his hand: "Excuse me, everyone."

Almost at the same time, a prompt popped up in the floating box in the upper right corner of Xiao Lou——

[Congratulations to the Xiao Lou team for successfully clearing Q Room: Interstellar Voyage]

[You can return to your personal space to receive rewards, or stay in this secret room for the rest of your life]

[Please choose: A stays, B returns to personal space]

Xiao Lou pressed option B without hesitation and returned to his personal space with his teammates.

For him, after clearing this secret room, there is no need to stay. They must seize the time to go to the next secret room and leave the card world as soon as possible.

The clones in level Q left a serious psychological shadow on the teammates.

In the future secret rooms, when meeting every teammate, you must first confirm the authenticity of the other party. They were almost wiped out because of an oversight. Thinking about it makes me feel scared. As for the big boss of this level, the star thief leader Rod Bell, not only did they not defeat each other, they even never met each other.

This person did not appear until the end.

Clearing the secret room does not require them to kill the hunter.

The hunters are in the dark, they are in the light. The future of the next level K is still uncertain, but with only the last two levels left, they can leave this weird card world.

They have to give it their all.
