mini people

Shen Yuze said: "Zou Rui also insisted on respecting Lin Xiao's idea about whether to restore his memory, so I guess this is also Lin Xiao's own idea."

Moreover, when Han Shouqi talked with Shen Jiyun before, it was also mentioned that Zou Rui once uttered the truth after drinking and wanted to use one of their brothers to "resurrect" Lin Xiao. Not only did Lin Xiao not agree, but he even forced Zou Rui to swear that he would never move. The thoughts of the two brothers.

It can be seen from this that Lin Xiao is not a person who will be led by the nose. If he is not willing, no one can force him.

But Shen Yuze thought about it again, and felt that Lin Xiao must have made this decision not just to save "Shen Yuze", maybe there were other purposes.

Qi Jingsi said: "I am afraid that Zou Rui will deceive me, so I specifically ask to see Lin Xiao, and want to talk to him in person."

The miniatures were forced to isolate themselves from the outside world. For seven years, Lin Xiao was in the miniature world base and never saw Qi Jingsi once, but Qi Jingsi could often see him through the surveillance video.

In order to meet Qi Jingsi's request, Zou Rui brought Lin Xiao out of the base in violation of regulations.

After a few years, the two meet again, but they are already one big and one small, and their bodies are very different.

"When Lin Xiao saw me, he was neither surprised nor afraid, and acted very calmly," Qi Jingsi said here, with mixed feelings, "I asked him if he still remembered me, and he said he didn't really remember, but he knew I was His best friend, that's why Zou Rui came to ask me..."

In fact, when Qi Jingsi heard "best friend", he already softened.

But as a friend, Qi Jingsi had to remind Lin Xiao of the potential risks of doing so: "I advised him that introducing his consciousness into a body that already has independent memory may change his original personality, not to mention that the child is drowning, which is very dangerous. It may be dying soon. If he really wants to come back, it's safer to clone a new body."

Shen Yuze was not surprised, Lin Xiao's reaction basically matched his speculation just now.Even if it becomes a miniature, the other party is not ignorant of the outside world.

But Shen Yuze is also a little strange. Lin Xiao has no memory of the past. If he only relied on Zou Rui's retelling, he should be led away by others as Qi Jingsi thought. Now it seems that Zou Rui obeyed Lin Xiaoyan.

Qi Jingsi: "At that time, the third base was already in crisis. If Zou was subject to the same thorough investigation as Han, he would definitely be involved, and in order to prevent others from cloning him against his will, he asked Zou Rui to copy his previous backup All the healthy cells are destroyed, and the genes of the transformed cells are irreversible, so he has no way to clone a normal 'self' again..."

This move made Shen Yuze somewhat unexpected, Lin Xiao was too cruel to him!

Qi Jingsi: "Speaking of which, I planted those risks for him because I brought his notes into the secret research team..."

Shen Yuze immediately said: "It's not your fault, Lin Xiao never told you to hide it."

Qi Jingsi nodded slightly: "Lin Xiao also said that the two of you brothers were born by cloning his genes, and he has special feelings and responsibilities for you, so he couldn't just sit by and watch. I was helpless when he answered me like this. I asked again Lin Xiao said he didn’t remember the missing pages of his notes, but he clearly told me that the superhuman genetic modification agent is something that can overturn the current world structure. He supported me to continue researching for him, but reminded me Follow the trend and protect yourself. He also said that when the situation stabilizes and the environment is safe, Zou Rui and I will go to him with the memory box, and after he recovers his previous memory, he will solve the problems that I can't solve. But no one expected that such a serious accident would happen to the third base..."

Shen Yuze already knew a part of what happened later, but with the addition of this previous story, Shen Yuze also had a better understanding of the reasons why the hexagram rebellion took place.

The process of introducing Lin Xiao's consciousness into your body went smoothly. Qi Jingsi heard that "he" woke up not long after.

But Lin Xiao's disappearance still attracted the attention of the base, and Zou Rui was immediately called by Zou Xingyuan for questioning.Before the incident, Zou Rui solemnly told Qi Jingsi not to disclose Lin Xiao's whereabouts to anyone, removed him from the outside, and assumed all the responsibilities for the crime alone.

Shen Yuze: "Han Shouqi doesn't know about this either?"

Qi Jingsi: "After all, it's about your personal safety. Zou Rui reminded me to keep it a secret from Han Shouqi for the time being. The less people know, the better..."

Han Shouqi: "Then how did Han Shouqi know?"

Qi Jingsi: "That happened later. After Zou Rui smuggled you out, there were one or two protests by minifigures in several test areas in the third base, but the scale was very small."

Qi Jingsi didn't expect the seriousness of these things at first. At that time, Zou's internal affairs were even more guarded against being found out about illegal research. Even if someone planned to make an issue out of the experimental area, it would be nothing but nothing.

Qi Jingsi: "About half a year later, one night, an inexplicable fire broke out in the test area of ​​the base. Zou Rui and Han Shouqi rushed to me with a group of administrators, saying they wanted to enter the base to put out the fire."

At that time, Zou Rui had already been deprived of his qualifications as an administrator. Qi Jingsi was afraid that Zou Xingyuan would be angry if he made his own claims.But Zou Rui believes that direct watering is equivalent to a flood for the minifigures in the base, and it is very likely to cause them to drown.In order to minimize casualties, he insisted on entering the base as an administrator.

The fire spread quickly. Not long after Han Shouqi and Zou Rui entered the base, the fire alarm sounded in the building.

Qi Jingsi was so anxious that he could only guard the transmission room. Later, Han Shouqi came back first and told him anxiously that Zou Rui was in danger.When they rushed to Zou Rui's transmission room, they found that the other party's transmission device had been tampered with, and Zou Rui's body had also fallen into a coma.

At that time, Zou Ming arrived together with the top executives of the special case team and supervisors. Han Shouqi urgently judged the situation and asked Qi Jingsi to report Zou Rui's rebellion together with him.

Shen Yuze: "Actually, I don't understand why Zou Rui asked Han Shouqi to report him. He could obviously ask the other party to come back and bring someone to save him."

Qi Jingsi: "I thought that Zou Rui was trying to... protect the third base and his father."

Shen Yuze suddenly realized when he heard the words - that's right, Zou Rui must have never expected that Zou Xingyuan would also have an accident during the Hexagram Rebellion War, so he wanted to take the blame for his father at the beginning!

This makes sense, because all the decisions of the third base are made by Zou Xingyuan. If the chaos becomes unmanageable, Zou Xingyuan will naturally be questioned, not to mention that the third base cannot be kept, even the entire Zou family may Received the same fate as Han's.

They made up a story, and the content of the story was of course related to Lin Xiao - Zou Rui opened a test area for his lover Lin Xiao for his own desire, and fell in love with the mini man Lin Xiao as an administrator.Zou Xingyuan opposed Zou Rui's obsession with pornography, and secretly executed Lin Xiao, which caused Zou Rui to rebel against the mini-humans in the joint test area, causing an accident.

The experimental area, Lin Xiao's disappearance, Zou Xingyuan and Zou Rui's father-son conflict...every detail of this story is in line with the status quo, not to mention that Zou Rui has so many previous convictions for violating the regulations, and the inspectors took him out without even thinking about it. Included in the arrest review list, claiming to see people alive and corpses dead.

Shen Yuze was secretly startled, if these charges were established, even if Zou Rui didn't escape, he would be doomed!

The young man who once gave him six-pointed star candy in his dream floated before his eyes, and he remembered his handsome appearance and gentle and reluctant tone...

Who would have thought that Zou Rui, a sensual playboy in the eyes of outsiders, actually devoted his heart and soul to his lover and tried his best to protect his navel; Standing up in a critical moment, enduring humiliation...

Shen Yuze felt sad for a while.

"I was also taken away on the spot and isolated for investigation. I was unable to contact the outside world. Only Han Shouqi came to meet me during this period."

Qi Jingsi closed his eyes, and when Han Shouqi told him solemnly that something happened to Zou Xingyuan, he felt that the whole world collapsed.

But they had already lied and reported Zou Rui before, so they could only keep this lie alive.

Han Shouqi also said that the supervisory department is also thoroughly investigating whether the third base is involved in the genetic modification of superpowers, and asked him if he has participated...

"I was flustered at the time, and I didn't know what to do. I could only confess. Han Shouqi told me that if I was questioned during the investigation, I would deny it. He said he would help me through the crisis. I was confused and could only do as he said. In the next few days, people from the monitoring team and investigators asked me many questions in turn, except for what Han Shouqi told me, I answered them truthfully..."

They retreated steadily, as if stepping on a well-designed trap every step of the way, until they retreated into a cage with nowhere to go.

"Half a month later, the investigation was over, and Han Shouqi came to pick me up. He looked very tired, and said that the matter was almost settled and there was no way back. The third base will not be banned, but because Zou Rui and Zou Xingyuan had an accident together, the third base will be managed by Zou Rui’s half-brother, Zou Ming. I was originally a staff member of the third base, and I have to go back after I was released. to the third base."

Shen Yuze's eyes turned cold when he thought of the gray-haired man in the wheelchair.

"I'm not familiar with Zou Ming. I've seen him several times before. I just thought he was a young man with a gloomy personality. Maybe because of his disability, he didn't have much sense of presence in front of Zou Xingyuan. After returning to the third base, I found that The people who did the research together are gone. Zou Ming called me to meet and told me bluntly that in order to save Zou Xingyuan’s evening, he arrested all the insiders who had participated in the illegal research and transformed them into miniature people. Only then did I know why this matter was not pursued by the supervisory department..."

Qi Jingsi's voice trembled slightly, he couldn't bear to think about it.

"Zou Ming knew that I was also one of the researchers, and he said that the reason why he kept me was because of Han Shouqi's guarantee for me, and I would greet him when I met him before, and he had a good impression of me. He hoped that I would forget about that secret research team and serve him like I served Zou Xingyuan in the future..." Qi Jingsi smiled sadly, "He said it nicely, but he actually threatened me in disguise. deal with me well."

Shen Yuze: "..."

Therefore, their original plan to bring "Lin Xiao" back after the situation eased completely fell through.

One link is not buckled, and the link is out of joint.

"Actually, Han Shouqi and I both believed that Zou Ming was involved in this accident, and the purpose was to seize power, because Zou Ming was there the day he was arrested. I even suspect that the base building may have been set on fire, because it is impossible for miniature people to climb over. There are many barriers close to the building, and Zou Xingyuan's office is on a high floor, so it cannot be easily set on fire." Qi Jing said with regret on his face, "But at that time, it was useless to say anything, and we all made mistakes. Became Zou Rui's whistleblower, and was held accountable, but there is no evidence that Zou Rui and Zou Xingyuan were harmed..."

At that time, his heart was ashamed, and he didn't want to live in mediocrity. At that time, Han Shouqi called me again and asked him if Lin Xiao was still alive.

Qi Jingsi asked Han Shouqi in astonishment how he knew. Han Shouqi said that he guessed. He had heard Zou Rui mention the real identity of the Shen brothers, and Lin Xiao disappeared from the base half a year ago for no reason, so he thought there was a connection between them. .

When Han Shouqi mentioned Lin Xiao, Qi Jingsi seemed to have been stabbed in the dead spot, so he could only admit it.He didn't tell Han Shouqi who Lin Xiao was, but repeatedly told him not to leak the secret...

"After being controlled by Zou Ming, I have no freedom for a long time. I ask Han Shouqi to protect you secretly. I don't want Lin Xiao to be involved in this situation again."

This was also the only choice Qi Jingsi could make at that time—because Han Shouqi had contributed to the report and had the support of his father's old friends, after the accident he became the head of the administrator department instead.

Qi Jingsi raised his eyes and looked at him: "Han Shouqi's status in MWCC is much higher than mine, he knows more inside stories than me, and is more capable than me of protecting you."

However, Shen Yuze's expression darkened and he didn't say a word.

The two remained silent for a long time before Qi Jingsi asked him: "You have been suspicious of Han Shouqi since you came back. Is there any basis for it?"

Hearing Qi Jingsi tell so much about the past without reservation, Shen Yuze already had basic trust in the other party in his heart. Now that the other party asked about the origin of this conversation tonight, he no longer intends to hide it.

He truthfully told the other party his doubts: "Do you still remember the day when my brother found our base in country B and was deprived of the initiative? Tao Ying told me when he talked to me during the day that Han Shouqi's illness and hospitalization records were all False. Also, Han Shouqi asked a mysterious person to tell us that country A officially planned to destroy the M-5 base in country B, but Tao Ying said that the MWCC in country B was planning to destroy the M-5 base. Their statements were contradictory. "

Qi Jingsi frowned and said, "Han Shouqi also asked me to remind you that Tao Ying is good at scheming, so you should not be fooled by him..."

Shen Yuze interrupted him: "Even so, Han Shouqi must have something to hide from us. The so-called fight between the snipe and the clam, the fisherman's profit, I just heard the old things you said, after the Hexagram Rebellion, who benefited from it? It seems that Zou Ming is not the only one, right?"

Qi Jingsi: "..."

Shen Yuze said sharply: "The outside world has rumored that Han Shouqi and Zou Rui are brothers in love, but after the accident happened to the Han family, how is his relationship with Zou Rui? Will they be alienated because of family conflicts, interests, or even parental conflicts?"

Qi Jingsi fell into deep thought. At that time, because of what happened to the Han family, the relationship between Han Shouqi and Zou Rui was indeed not as good as before.

Moreover, he once saw Han Shouqi quarrel with Zou Rui when he came to find Zou Rui, but he didn't know exactly what they were arguing about. This happened not long before they smuggled Lin Xiao out of the third base.

Shen Yuze: "Also, you said that Han Shouqi is Zou Rui's friend, and you are Lin Xiao's friend, so how much friendship do you have with Han Shouqi? You never doubted... Han Shouqi may cooperate with Zou Ming to cheat You?"

Qi Jingsi's heart was shocked, and his eyebrows frowned even tighter. After a long while, he said slowly: "It is true that Han Shouqi and I got closer because of Zou Rui and Lin Xiao. Over the years, I transferred from the National Academy of Sciences to MWCC, and then moved to the headquarters. With the third base, only when the two of you are involved, there is an intersection between me and him... I also suspected that Han Shouqi might deceive me about the hexagram rebellion, but at that time Zou Rui was nowhere to be found. Zou Xingyuan died, and I can't protect myself, so I have no other choice but to trust him."

Shen Yuze thought in his heart, if he was Qi Jingsi, that's probably all he could do.

But Han Shouqi is indeed very good at making a person have no choice but to believe in himself.

Qi Jingsi smiled wryly: "Don't look at me in the middle of the game, in fact, I can't see the overall situation at all. I think I have made efforts to change the predicament, but I may be just a pawn in the hands of others from the beginning to the end..."

Shen Yuze asked back: "Do you think you are just a pawn of Han Shouqi?"

Qi Jingsi's face was full of helplessness and distress: "The information and power between me and Han Shouqi are unequal. We are friends in name, but in private, I think it is more like a relationship between superiors and subordinates, or cooperation. Relationship. He asked me to report Zou Rui, and I stood with him to report Zou Rui. He asked me to falsely surrender to Zou Ming and monitor Zou Ming. I stayed at the third base all the time. When he learned that your brother entered MWCC, they transferred me to the headquarters, looking at Shen Jiyun..."

Shen Yuze's face froze: "He still asked you to look at your brother?"
