Chapter 366: Guessed Wrong?
Of course there is another possibility. The reformers are not aware of the truth of the matter. They came to rescue No. 16 just because the top leaders were crazy and issued random orders.
Anthony remained silent. He didn't expect that his boss had such a legendary experience.
Number 16 looked at the thoughtful Li Yu and couldn't help asking, "What have you been through? Why did you become so strong?"
"Or did the experiment really succeed on you?"
They all escaped from the same laboratory. He was trapped here as a guinea pig by Gust, while Li Yu already had the ability to break into the laboratory.
"It has nothing to do with the experiment." Li Yu said calmly, "My current strength is entirely the result of my own hard work."
Well... the clone is also my own clone, so there is absolutely nothing wrong with saying that it is my own effort.
Number Sixteen seemed to be hesitant to speak. Although they were all experimental subjects, they had occasionally talked to each other on some special occasions.
But he now felt that No. 1 was completely different from before, as if he had gotten rid of the influence of growing up in a laboratory.
He remembered what the other party had just said, that due to some accidents, he had forgotten a lot of memories.
Maybe for people like them, this is a good thing.
Number 16 looked into Li Yu's eyes and felt envious.
Li Yu's memories of his previous life are not complete. The further back he recalls, the more vague they become.
It was not until now that he could vaguely guess the general outline of his predecessor.
Perhaps he was an orphan from an unknown planet in the Star Empire, and after becoming a guinea pig in the Loren family's laboratory, he spent more than ten years in a daze.
Then the laboratory was inexplicably breached, and he was rescued. After being stranded on Tianhuang Star, he became a scavenger.
Then, Li Yu came through and took over everything, and then... everything turned upside down.
For Li Yu, this answer... well... was expected.
Occasionally when he was bored, he would wonder if he was an illegitimate child of the Loren family who was left behind.
However, now it seems that the experimental subjects seem to be more logical. In the laboratory, all kinds of utensils are extremely clean, and they have also developed a personality similar to mysophobia.
"Go and bring Gust and the group of reformers here ." Li Yu ordered.
"yes!"
Anthony and Stanley each received their orders and left.
The general context of the predecessor has been sorted out, and now he just wants to know what the reformer means? Is it a breach of contract?
"I am a man who keeps his promises..." Li Yu's eyes flickered, and it was unknown what he was thinking about.
Li Yu never regarded the Reformers as a great organization that would liberate the entire universe.
Perhaps the middle and lower-level reformers do have their own beliefs. Whether it is the people they met in the process of snatching the gold optimization device, or Mia and others, they have the quality of not fearing sacrifice.
But Li Yu didn't believe that the senior executives would be so naive and really intended to liberate any reformers.
Where there is oppression there is resistance, and the emergence of reformers fits in with sociology.
Even if there are no reformers, there are still a lot of other organizations.
…
The boss seems to have a lot of secrets. He is such a mysterious man. Only such a person is worthy of my following.
Anthony pondered secretly and came in front of Dego and others. He gave people an extremely gloomy and dangerous aura, and all the reformers couldn't help but be alert.
Anthony did not immediately respond to the crowd, but said to Peter in the crowd: "Little Peter, come here quickly."
"Here I come." Even though Peter was reluctant, he could only put on a smile, rushed out of the crowd, and stood in front of Anthony with a smile.
"Thank you for the news." Anthony touched little Peter's head kindly and gave what he thought was a kind smile.
It was because of Little Peter's information that he was able to find No. 16 and bring him to Li Yu.
Feeling the cold scales rubbing against his hair, little Peter couldn't help but shudder and said reluctantly, "I'm glad I can help Sir Anthony."
Feeling Anthony's blatant disregard, the reformers all felt unhappy but could not show it.
After chatting with little Peter for a while, Anthony looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, the master invites you."
That person...
Everyone's face changed slightly, obviously remembering Li Yu's previous powerful appearance.
"No problem." Dego agreed immediately and followed Anthony to the experimental base.
…
When Gust followed Stanley to Li Yu, the first thing he saw was No. 16 who had escaped. His face changed slightly, but he didn't say anything.
When No. 16 looked at Gust, anger appeared in his eyes. He had been treated as a guinea pig since he was a child and had finally escaped.
But he was caught by Gust again and used as a guinea pig.
Thinking of the experiments that Gust had done on him, he wished he could eat him alive.
"Do you know his origins?" Li Yu looked at Gust and asked.
"Sir..." Gust looked at Li Yu. He was slightly startled by his completely different appearance from before, and then he became a little confused: "I seem to have seen you somewhere..."
"Answer the adults' questions!" Stanley scolded.
Gust frowned, looking slightly unhappy, and looked at Li Yu: "You want me to work for you, this attitude is not sincere at all."
"I come from the Black Blood Research Institute. I need an independent large laboratory. At the same time, the annual experimental funding should not be less than 500 billion star coins..."
"Except for the projects you asked me to research, you cannot interfere with the rest of the experimental projects."
“…”
Gust stated a lot of conditions, which were Amethyst's treatment to him, and to be honest, they were not excessive.
Gust is not a person who seeks fame and reputation. He has real talent and hard work, otherwise he would not have been absorbed into the Black Blood Research Institute.
He made more stringent demands on the Borg civilization and believed that he had made enough concessions now.
"Ha..." Li Yu couldn't help laughing, shook his head, and was too lazy to say more to this guy.
Just when he was about to take action, Dego and his group also followed Anthony here.
"You are... Li Yu!?" Dego recognized Li Yu at a glance.
Thanks to the Krekli siblings, Li Yu is now well-known among the reformers, and very few people do not recognize his face.
"Li Yu?"
Hearing this name, Gust finally remembered who the person in front of him was.
He then suddenly looked at No. 16, and his face suddenly turned pale.
The impression of this name is not because of Li Yu’s magnificent resume, but because this guy, like No. 16 in front of him, is someone the Loren family specifically wants.
It's just that No. 16 was secretly detained by the Amethyst Civilization and given to him for research, while Li Yu continued to shine in the interstellar space.
Finished!
Beads of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. All his previous inferences were wrong. This guy was not trying to recruit him at all, but was after Number 16 and the secret behind it.
These two people were named and pursued by the Loren family at the same time, so they must have similarities and even know each other.
He looked at No. 16's eyes, which seemed to want to eat him alive, and his heart trembled and his face turned pale.
"Since you know me, it will be easy." Li Yu shrugged: "Contact the commander behind you. I want to talk to him."
"Sir Li Yu, our value is not as great as that of Kerry and Kerry." Dego thought that Li Yu wanted to use them to exchange benefits with the reformers.
"Forget it, I'll do it myself." Li Yu was too lazy to explain to them, so he took out his smart terminal and made a call.
After a long wait, a familiar figure was projected. It was the guy who had traded with Li Yu last time - Hasband.
"Mr. Hasband, it's been a long time since we last contacted each other." Li Yu greeted with a smile.
Husband nodded without smiling, "Mr. Li Yu, long time no see. You have become very famous recently, and several well-known research institutes are looking for you."
"Maybe you want to invite me to dinner." Li Yu casually perfunctorily said a few words and went straight to the point: "It seems that a long time has passed since our agreement. Did you get anything?"
Hasband's eyebrows jumped, and he slowly shook his head and said, "The secrets your Excellency is involved in are much deeper than we imagined. We have not gained anything for the time being."
"Really?" Li Yu asked in an inexplicable tone, pointing the camera at De Ge and others: "Do you know these people?"
"And this..." He pointed the camera at number sixteen again.
Husband saw the dejected Dego and No. 16, his pupils shrank slightly, and he looked extremely surprised. He was silent for a long time before he said: "These people are the backbone of the reformers."
Li Yu did not answer, but looked at Hasband with a smile.
Husband was extremely thick-skinned and said calmly, "The information we found out has not been verified, so we didn't tell you."
Now that it has come to this, he won't pretend anymore.
Li Yu didn't believe his nonsense and shook his head, saying, "It's up to me whether you believe it or not, and it's up to you whether you tell me or not."
Hasband looked at Li Yu and felt a little toothache. He never thought that the team sent to carry out the secret mission would encounter Li Yu.
They did find some things, and what they found shocked them.
In order to find out those secrets, the power of the reformers in the Star Empire was severely damaged and many people were exposed.
At the same time, he decided not to tell Li Yu the news, because the value of the Krekli brothers and sisters was far from enough for those secrets.
Hasband was silent for a moment. He knew that Li Yu had learned a lot of information from No. 16, so he could only sigh:
"We didn't find out much. We only know that after you were rescued from that laboratory by the Loren family, you were placed on Tianhuang Star."
"Your existence must have special significance, so the Loren family is chasing you relentlessly. They don't want to kill you, they just want to take you back into their hands."
What the hell?
Li Yu was stunned. Was he rescued by the Loren family?
Did he guess wrong?
The Loren family is not the one behind the laboratory.
Instead, it was the Loren family who rescued him.
Wait... Li Yu suddenly thought of something.
The former governor of Tianhuang Star who disappeared inexplicably... The assassin sent by the Loren family to destroy the traces of Tianhuang Star...
These things, for which he didn't know the reasons, seemed to have an explanation at this moment.
He was arranged to be on Tianhuang Star by the Loren family, and the one who arranged all this was the former governor, who was a member of the Loren family.
Yes, the Loren family knew he was number one from the beginning.
If they were the ones controlling the laboratory behind the scenes, they would never let him stay on Tianhuang Star.
The Loren family really didn't want to kill him and made it clear that they wanted him alive. Donovan's behavior can prove this.
Hasband looked at the somewhat stunned Li Yu and was very satisfied with the lethality of this news.
In fact, they found out a lot more, such as the purpose of the laboratory, the secrets he held, and why the Loren family wanted him.
Even the person behind the scenes of the laboratory, they have several directions to trace, but he can't tell Li Yu these.
He was only told the most basic information, but it was this information, which he thought was insignificant, that allowed Li Yu to correct his wrong guess and almost restore the truth of the whole matter.
After a brief moment of astonishment, Li Yu spoke again: "What is the laboratory researching? What exactly does the Loren family want me to do? Who is the mastermind behind the laboratory?"
"These..." Husband smiled bitterly and shook his head: "We don't know either. You overestimate us."
Li Yu sneered in his heart, don't know? If you don't know, send someone to secretly rescue No. 16?
Even if Hasband didn't say it, Li Yu could probably guess it.
I'm afraid it's something related to Titan.
Husband thought he knew nothing, but in fact he had a rough idea.
"Our previous agreement has been cancelled." Li Yu said coldly, "I wonder if the Xingyao Empire is interested in Krekli."
Husband was speechless for a while. Li Yu changed his face faster than turning the pages of a book, but he was not nervous and said gently:
"We were wrong this time and we are willing to provide reasonable compensation."
"Okay, help me send a few people..." Li Yu nodded immediately. He didn't expect to get much out of the Reformer, but any amount would be helpful.
Hasband's mouth twitched slightly. It was obvious that Li Yu was waiting for him here.
"How many people and where are they being sent to?" he asked.
"3,752 people, sent to the Guixing Central System." Li Yu replied.
"How many people are there!?" Hasband stared, somewhat broken-down.
"Just tell me whether you will send me or not?"
There are quite a lot of people in Gust's laboratory, and as Hasband said, he is now attracting too many people's attention.
It's really inconvenient to carry so many people with you.
"Send it, and release Dego and the others." Hasband also put forward conditions.
"Deal..." Li Yu pondered for a moment and agreed. Dego and the others were of no use anyway.
Gust, whose mind was filled with panic, was a little stunned.
3752 people? Isn't this the total number of people in the lab?
This guy isn't going to kill me?
If he were killed, the total number would not reach 3752.
Or should we kill him and have someone else take his place?
While Gust was daydreaming, Li Yu also looked at him and said warmly: "Sir Gust, I want to know, what have you found out about him?"
