Survivorship Bias

Chapter 64: Origin of life

    An Wujiu seemed to have suddenly lost the ability to speak, and could only stare at Shen Ti with a pair of black and white eyes.

    Shen Ti's pupils are like a bright blue lake under the sun, bottomless.

    “What do you want to do?” An Wujiu said subconsciously.

    After he finished speaking, Shen Ti suddenly laughed, maybe it was because of the close distance, or maybe it was because of the direct sunlight coming in from the window. The lashes are so light they are almost translucent.

    “What are you laughing at?” An Wujiu asked.

    Shen Ti raised his eyes and looked at him with a smirk on his face, finally he stretched out his hand and pinched An Wujiu's face, "You are so smart when you are smart, but you become stupid. It's really stupid."

    An Wu blame is a little disappointed.

    A little disappointed.

    "Just kidding with you." Shen Ti stretched out his hand, put the hair on An Wujiu's shoulder behind him, smiled at him, and said about Zhong Yirou's phone call, "Clean up, Let's go."

    "Good."

     

    Shen Ti turned his head, put his hand on his neck and pretended to be very uncomfortable, "I'm too tired, I didn't sleep well."

      Under the guise of two rooms, I have to thank my sister."

    Shen Ti followed her eyes and glanced at An Wujiu's neck, seeing Shen Ti staring, An Wujiu himself lowered his head and touched his neck.

     After returning the card, the two turned to leave.

    "Come on, next time I'll leave you a room with a large floor-to-ceiling window!"

    An Wujiu went down the stairs, glanced at Shen Ti, saw that he was still laughing, so he explained, "I rubbed the collarbone red by myself."

     

    Seeing Shen Ti's dead appearance, An Wujiu suddenly felt the desire to beat him up, "It hurts when I beat someone."

    Shen Ti smiled, "Indeed, I have learned it."

    On the way, An Wujiu contacted Zhong Yirou again, and just after the call, she yelled at the other end, and only asked An Wujiu if he had already been "that".

    “Because?” An Wujiu’s focus was surprisingly crooked, “Why did I get caught by that?”

    Shen Ti who was beside him was drinking the incomparably expensive organic apple juice he just bought, when he heard An Wujiu's words, he almost choked and couldn't stop laughing.

    "Isn't that the point?" Zhong Yirou sighed, she was relieved when she heard that An Wujiu had gone to bed early last night, and gave them an address for them to come over.

    But An Wu Jiu heard Wu You keep saying, "I'll pick it up, I'll pick up Brother Wu Jiu."

    "Good good." Zhong Yirou had to agree, "Be careful on the road."

    So An Wu Jiu and Shen Ti were waiting at the designated place. After drinking half of the apple juice in his hand, Shen Ti handed it to An Wujiu, "Try it?"

    An Wujiu didn't think much, grabbed the straw and drank some.

    It was surprisingly good.

    "It's all for you." Seeing that he liked it, Shen Ti also gave him the glass bottle.

    There are screens everywhere, real LED screens, virtual projection screens, large and small, spliced ​​together to form a huge wall. An Wujiu drank the juice and looked around casually, and inadvertently saw the largest screen, which was the CEO of military technology, speaking.

    The subtitles show that this is the first time he has made a public statement apologizing for the casualties caused by the extensive loss of control of the previous aircraft.

    “Why are you so serious?” Shen Ti turned his head and glanced at An Wujiu.

    “Look at that person,” An Wujiu pointed, “Don’t you feel familiar?”

    Following the direction of his fingers, Shen Ti looked over, and on the screen was a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, with a good conversation, but his face…

    It is Wu You's middle-aged version.

    "Could this person be Wu You's father?" Shen Ti blurted out, but think about it, this is almost impossible, if Wu You's father is really a military technology company How could the high-level officials allow their children to enter a place like the altar?

    An Wujiu also wants to know.

    He suddenly thought that Wu You had recognized the type of flower on his neck before. At that time, Zhong Yirou had said that those who knew this rare ornamental flower would not be a child from an ordinary family.

    So he searched for this man, there is no photo, also surnamed Wu, he took over the current military technology company from his father, and he and his wife have known each other since childhood. They have a very good relationship, but because of genetic problems Fertility, or with the help of the latest technology of Chauvin's company at that time, was able to successfully have a precious child, and it was precisely because of this successful case that Chauvin was able to promote this technology at that time.

    This report is very touching.

    But if this is the case, how could the precious child be allowed to enter the altar?

    On the screen, the brief apology has ended. Coincidentally, at this moment, the screen has been replaced with the latest advertisement of a technology company, and the aircraft in it is almost a sky-high price for ordinary people.

    Another screen not far away was broadcasting the content of the altar in real time. A man dressed strangely announced to everyone how many survivors there were on the altar today. Many people stopped by the roadside to watch, like the audience outside the Colosseum.

    Life and death stimulate their already numb senses.

    Don't let them wait too long, Wu You quickly received them.

    Shen Ti didn't mention the man just now, just looked out the window. Wu You, who has always been accustomed to bickering with him, was not used to it. He looked at the two of them in the rearview mirror, "What happened yesterday? Why don't you talk."

    An Wujiu shook his head, he hesitated for a while, but still said, "Wu You, I have been thinking since the last round of dungeons, can I find a way to get you out of the altar."

    Wu You is calmer than he thought, "Impossible, many people make money and want to withdraw, but they all fail."

    “You are still very young, you should have a good future.” An Wujiu said to him, “If we can always match in the same round of games, I can still protect you, but I'm very worried, in case we can't be together..."

    Wu You suddenly laughed, he rarely laughed.

     "Brother Wu blame, I don't have a good future."

    "Where are your parents?" Shen Ti said, "Aren't they worried that you might be in danger at the altar at any time?"

    Wu You was silent for a few seconds, the aircraft in the air were staggered and busy, like scattered birds.

    "You can understand that I don't have parents. Even if I die suddenly, I may just clean up like garbage disposal. Isn't this very similar to the altar?"

    "It's not like that." An Wujiu stared at his back, "Wu You, you don't care about nobody, at least there are us, if you don't want to say, we won't force you, But you have to promise me not to think like that anymore."

    Many times Wu You felt that it was a cruel thing to refuse An Wu Jiu.

    So even if he was pessimistic, he nodded.

    In the rearview mirror, he saw An Wujiu heaving a sigh of relief, leaning back on the back of the chair firmly, at a certain moment, Wu You, who had been silent about his own affairs, had Some confidants.

    "Actually... Brother Wu Jiao, I am the same as that Taoist priest. The story in the last round of the game also has parts similar to my experience."

    As soon as he said it, An Wujiu realized a possibility.

    But it was so bizarre, he thought in his heart that it could not be true.

    "I can't be regarded as a real natural person." Wu You thought that maybe he would never see them again next time, so he rarely admitted frankly, "In simple terms, I am based on a wealthy family. A child cloned from a child."

    Sure enough, the final result was as expected.

    "Why?" Shen Ti asked.

    "Because that child is as ill as A02, not just heart disease, but also many minor illnesses, in a word, the genetic test after birth has predicted everything that will happen It's a matter." Wu You's voice was so calm that it wasn't like what he should have in his grade, saying "that child" one by one, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

    “So they cloned you shortly after giving birth to him.” An Wujiu said.

    "Almost." Wu You looked into the distance, "It's not just me, as far as I know there are more than five, I may be the sixth. Unlike the A02 clone, I I wasn't implanted with memory, maybe the technology wasn't developed enough, I was raised in their other properties, and I was taught from a young age that I was their child."

    "But actually I..." Wu You pressed the brakes, "I just want to provide the heart for that child."

    An Wu Jiu lowered his eyes, he didn't know how to comfort Wu You.

    "The first five died sooner or later because the technology was not up to standard, and some died directly, oh yes," Wu You remembered, "the other one was a kidney replacement for him , that child has an immune disease, and has been genetically edited and improved in my generation."

    "How did you find out?" Shen Ti leaned his head against the glass window and tilted his head to look at Wu You's profile.

    Wu You took a breath, "I grew up elsewhere, and the couple occasionally came to see me, but they were always busy and rarely came, so they arranged a nanny and housekeeper for me, There was also a playmate, a few years older than me, who they said was my 'cousin'."

    Shen Ti soon understood that why Wu You was unusually good to An Wujiu was probably also the reason for his empathy.

    "That brother is the best person to me. I often lose my temper because my parents are not around, and I am unhappy. It is he who takes care of me, cares about me, and teaches me a lot." Operate the aircraft to prepare for landing.

    "And then what?"

    "Later... I accidentally saw the report the housekeeper gave to the couple, and I knew my identity, and I told him. At that time, I realized that even my brother didn't know about it. Later He said we would escape together, and I said yes, but I was only twelve years old at the time, and our plans were not well-planned, and it was easy to find out."

    Wu You parked the aircraft and unfastened his seat belt, "Then he distracted those people to let me go, and was shot and killed by them."

     

    He couldn't imagine a 12 year old going through all this.

    After being deceived, she realized that everything she had was a lie.

    To escape such a life, the only reliable brother died because of him.

     died in front of him.

    No wonder he doesn't like to talk, the world has given him enough pain.

    Enough to be quiet.

    "I'll just live alone."

    Wu You put both hands in his pockets, pretending to be very relaxed and saying to An Wujiu, "Don't underestimate me, I've saved enough money to buy a cheap Citizen Chip after all these years. , and changed my name to myself."

    Shen Ti leaned over and walked behind them, "What was the original name?"

    "It's that kid's name, Wu You, excellent You." Wu You put on a hoodie hat, "I don't want someone else's name."

    Since this heart is the most precious thing in my body, then call me Wu You.

    Unlike Wu You, he has nothing but at least a healthy heart.

     

    They entered the elevator, An Wujiu stretched out his hand and took Wu You's shoulder, "The name has been changed very well."

      Xixi, I allow you to join our family."

    "Who are you with?"/"What family?"

    Wu You and An Wu Jiu spoke in unison, but neither could break free from Shen Ti's clutches.

    Shen Ti sighed, and then shouted to God like a sigh, then closed his eyes.

    From the reflective inner wall of the elevator, An Wujiu saw his movements, "What are you doing?"

    The elevator door opened, 56th floor.

    "I'm praying to God that our family of three will be reunited next time." Shen Ti was serious.

    Wu You vomited in disgust, "It's a family of three, I'm your father."

    "Hey you kid." Shen Ti wanted to grab him by the collar, but he didn't grab it and let him run away. When he turned his head, An Wu Jiu had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

    Shen Ti deliberately said: "You are still laughing, the little **** made you his daughter-in-law."

    An Wujiu reacted and slapped Shen Ti's arm directly.

    "It hurts..." Shen Ti felt the place where he was beaten, and heard Wu You calling him "neurotic" not far away, he felt miserable.

    "You've changed." He looked at An Wujiu miserably.

    An Wujiu glared at him, "You were the one who talked nonsense first." After speaking, he followed Wu You with a little guilty conscience.

    Shen Ti sighed loudly from behind, "I knew, this must be my family status in the future."

    Zhong Yirou opened the door for Wu You and An Wujiu, her head was covered with a bath towel, and she was wearing a black silk pajama suit that did not match her temperament at all, with a mask on her face .

    "Come in."

    "It's like your own home." Wu You whispered.

    "Maybe she is the future mistress." Shen Ti smiled behind them.

    It came so fast.

    An Wujiu looked back at him, just in time to meet Shen Ti's raised eyebrows.

    "Shut up." Zhong Yirou winked at Shen Ti, "Don't talk nonsense."

    Yang Erci's apartment is not small, but it is empty, with almost no furniture and personal belongings.

    "A person lives in such a big place?" Shen Ti looked around.

    "She just moved here, so she just found it casually." Zhong Yirou sighed, "What a rich woman."

    "No wonder some people have impure goals." Wu You glanced at the ceiling.

    Zhong Yirou reached out and pinched his face, "I think it's more cute if you don't speak."

    Yang Erci came out of a room and nodded to An Wujiu, "Yourou just made the food on the dining table, you can eat it when you are hungry."

    I didn't expect the three of them to show embarrassment at the same time and waved their hands again and again.

    "Don't eat it." Zhong Yirou pulled An Wujiu, "Let's get to the point, I'll project your last scan results."

    After she finished speaking, she took out a small remote control, pressed it, and a complete stereoscopic scan result appeared on the off-white wall.

    Indeed, An Wu Jiu saw that human bones are white, and a large part of his body is not pure white.

    Why he was replaced with so many metal bones.

    "Look here, I'll zoom in for you to see." Zhong Yirou clicked twice, the screen zoomed in, and the details of the bones appeared.

    Shen Ti pulled a chair and sat next to An Wujiu, leaning on his back, his long legs stretched out, people habitually fall on An Wujiu.

    "Even if your original bones are intact, there have been cases of secondary growth after fragmentation." Zhong Yirou pointed out the above traces to him.

    "Could it have been an accident before?" Shen Ti rested his head on An Wujiu's shoulder, "For example, he fell from a height."

    An Wujiu tried hard to recall, but still could not find similar events from his own memory. It was as if his memory kept giving him some hints, telling him that he was just a very ordinary and ordinary person, the type who would never encounter big storms in his life.

    "It's very possible, and if it really falls from a high place and is rescued, the head is severely injured, and it may also lose memory, although I think the rescue method is to replace the bones of the whole body. , should be seriously injured, it is a miracle that he can be saved."

    Zhong Yirou showed him the metal skeleton on his body again, "See? These little numbers."

    Yang Erci held a cup of coffee in his hand and leaned against the wall column, "If I remember correctly, metal bones of this strength and density have not been circulated on the market, you can accept such an operation , there are only two possibilities. First, you are a recruited clinical volunteer. Second, you have close relationships with scientific researchers in companies like Chauvin, and you can ask one of them to replace your bones at any cost. "

    An Wu Jiu was unusually calm after hearing this.

    Whatever possible, as long as there is this bone, he will always trace the source and find out what happened.

    There are not many places that can perform this kind of surgery, only companies with the most cutting-edge resources.

    He looked at Yang Erci, "Why did you leave Chauvin? A place like the altar will only waste your talents."

    "I'm looking for someone." Yang Erci lowered his eyes, "And Chauvin's core research department is now rotten. They seem to be controlled and completely irrational."

    Her eyes seemed to be lost in thought.

    It shouldn't, people in the research department should be top scientists.

    Why lose your mind?

    "It's best to find the person who did the surgery for you when you have a bone problem." Yang Erci changed the subject, "Only he can guarantee the follow-up maintenance, although the metal endoskeleton is strong, but Once again seriously injured..."

    "You could literally be paralyzed and never get up again."
