Chapter 947: I'm Afraid You Might Need To Get A New Boyfriend

Zhang Heng was not too worried about the fluorescent marking on him. All he needed to do was to use a scarf or his shirt's collar to cover it. Usually, no one would notice it. In contrast, the tracking device in his body was more troublesome to deal with.

As long the tracker was in his body, he would eventually be captured by others no matter where he hid. By then, he would need to face a steady stream of enemies. However, Zhang Heng did not panic. This was the fourth day working as a bodyguard to protect Xu Qian. As long as she did not report his abnormality to the security company, he still had about ten days to solve this problem.

So the first thing he needed to do right now was to reach a consensus with Xu Qian.

"If you don't report my abnormality to my company, what kind of punishment will you get?" Zhang Heng asked.

"I don't know... I just want to get on with my life peacefully, accept my boyfriend's proposal, and move to the fourth level. I don't want to get involved in any trouble, please," Xu Qian begged.

"Well, sometimes a relationship has to go through some twists and turns to be complete," Zhang Heng reminded. "You'd better answer this question truthfully because we are now thinking of ways to lessen your troubles."

"It's useless. Once you are caught, they will look at your memories, and then they will know about the conversation that has taken place tonight," Xu Qian said. "No matter how perfect you plan the whole thing, the end result will always be the same. "

"If that's the case, I'd better try my best not to capture by them." Zhang Heng said, "Has there been a similar situation like this where a clone went of control?"

"There have been several cases like this, but they managed to keep the situation under control within 24 hours." Xu Qian hesitated and explained, "In the early days, it was said that they did not hide the identity from the human clones. Instead, they instilled in them the belief that they should serve humans unconditionally. Other than that, they also programmed them in a way that they'd be were highly compliant to the human to ensure it'd be safe to use the clones. But..."

"But?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.

"But no matter how much the clones believed that they were born to serve humans when they left the factory, and how gentle and honest their characters were designed, many began to gradually resist their employers after long-term usage. After all, they have the same DNA as humans. I guess resistance is one of their instincts.

"Due to the security issues, these clones can't be put into large-scale commercial use. Other than that, ordinary people are also afraid of clones. Some extremists had even started recruiting to hunt and kill all clones. So the scientists had to keep looking for other ways to salvage this situation."

"Is that why they decided to give those clones a fake identity?" Zhang Heng asked.

"Yes. Scientists have found out that the clones' behavior would be the most stable in this situation. They have to make sure that the clones did not know that they were clones. Other than the users and the companies behind them, no one else would realize that they are clones. Naturally, there would be no conflict. And at the same time, the companies have shortened their single-use duration."

"Rewrite their memories once a month?"

"It doesn't have to be once a month. It only applies to those who can fight well like you. Once someone like you realizes that they are a clone, it may cause great harm to society. Hence, the memories of a clone like you would be rewritten once a month," Xu Qian replied with a trembling voice.

"Well, how many clones are there in New Shanghai 0297 now?" Zhang Heng continued to ask.

"I don't know. I really don't know. The number of clones has always been a company secret." Xu Qian became more and more anxious, "I... I have told you too much. I can't go on. Once they find out that I had this conversation with you, my citizen ID will be included in the control list. The federal government will start to monitor me all the time and all the companies will refuse to provide me any form of information. As for the damage you will cause after you lose control, I have to bear at least one-third of the responsibility. My boyfriend does illegal business sometimes. He absolutely wouldn't want his significant other to be on the watch list all the time. I will lose him because of this. So please..."

"Oh. That's too bad," Zhang Heng said.

"Yes. You know my current situation. This marriage is very important to me," Xu Qian nodded.

"No. You misunderstood what I meant," Zhang Heng said. "What I mean is if someone captures me and reads my memory, you might have to change your boyfriend."

"What do you... mean?" Xu Qian could not understand what Zhang Heng had just told her.

"I killed about 30 people at the lowest level just now," Zhang Heng said indifferently. "According to you; you have to bear at least a third of the responsibility for the losses I caused after I lose control. But you don't have to worry too much about it for the time being. Since you lived at the first level before, you must have heard of Mr. G's name. His men will help me deal with the aftermath. To make that happen, I have to make sure that no one can capture me and read my memory."

"What?! You just killed more than 30 people?!" A chill rushed up Xu Qian's spine, and she started to shiver as if she was drenched in a basin of ice water, "This... This is impossible. Are you trying to scare me and prevent me from reporting your anomaly?"

Zhang Heng did not reply to Xu Qian. Instead, he emailed Miss F in front of her, asking to send him some photos of the aftermath.

It sounded like a weird request, but Miss F did not ask any questions.

Half a minute later, Zhang Heng received ten photos of the dead bodies. Other than that, there was also a short video. The person that recorded this video clip stood at a good distance. Hence, the video quality wasn't that good. But one could see that the person in the middle was Zhang Heng with two blades. He killed a mohawk guy while being attack by three or four people.

From the video clip, Zhang Heng slit the mohawk guy's throat. The victim attempted to use his hand to stop the blood from gushing out. Unfortunately, his blood still poured out from the gap between his fingers. Xu Qian watched half of the clip, and she started to cover her mouth. Immediately, Zhang Heng passed the trash can to her with his feet.

Xu Qian then vomited in the trash can.

At the same time, she started to cry, not knowing whether she felt sorry for the people who died in the videos and photos or was she crying for her precarious marriage.

Xu Qian cried for about ten minutes, before gradually stopping her sobbing. She wiped her tears and said to Zhang Heng, "I have never done anything bad to you, nor have I treated you harshly because you are a clone. Why do you treat me like this?!"

"I didn't expect to involve you in this matter," Zhang Heng said. "The good news is, the matter hasn't been discovered so far, which is why I said we need to talk about it."
