Survivorship Bias

    "I knew it."

    Facing such a horrific scene, An Wujiu was not surprised at all. He took out his weapon with a very fast reaction speed, and even made up for several monsters that climbed up, and the movements were done in one go.

    In fact, when Shen Ti saw these clones, he also had some kind of conjecture in his heart, but his imagination was only his imagination, he killed He An Wujiu himself Shen Ti's heart was still a little shaken when he got the exact same monster.

    At the moment of the headshot, two small objects appeared in front of him, just at the wound where the monster broke. Shen Ti endured the discomfort and reached for it.

     are two micro hard drives with Wu You and Yang Erci worker numbers printed on them.

    Their clues appear here, which means that so far, except for A01 and A02, everyone else has a corresponding hard disk, just open the hard disk , there are bound to be clues.

    Not thinking for too long, Shen Ti directly took out the incendiary bombs that were not used up last time, and threw them towards the remaining monsters.

    This is the third time he has been forced to kill people and monsters who look like An Wugui.

    The bad taste of the altar is really extraordinary.

    "Close!"

& nbsp;

    "I'm going to have a psychological shadow." Shen Ti complained to An Wujiu and sighed, "This is definitely this The most terrifying scene of the copy."

    The little action of his sigh made An Wujiu feel cute for no reason, but the next second he felt really strange, why would he use the word cute to describe Shen Ti Plant a tall one with a height of 1.9 meters.

    "Don't you feel terrible?" Shen Ti couldn't understand An Wujiu, when he saw the monster with the same face as himself being shot to death , even with a smile on his face.

    An Wujiu nodded immediately, and then emphasized quite a bit: "It's quite scary."

    "Maybe...every one is my face."

    He said to Shen Ti, "Do you remember the password puzzle we encountered before when the magma appeared?"

    Shen Ti thought about it, and suddenly realized something.

    “CloneChild.”

    Everything was foreshadowed.

    An Wujiu conjectures that A02 may also be a victim of this containment center and participated in the cloning experiment.

    How could he be the top manager of the shelter? According to the setting of this building, the higher the level, the higher the technical content of the division of labor, from the caretaker at the bottom, to the clown representing entertainment, and then to the manager of the surrogacy agency and the engineer of embryo experiments.

    A01 and A02 on the top floor should be the leadership of the containment center.

    And the two leaders have an extraordinary relationship.

    Everything that happened here seems to be connected into a complete story, but the clues are not enough, any possibility can be extended indefinitely, such as A02 is actually cloned The test product and substitute that came out, when he learned the truth, was killed by everyone, and then a second A02 was used to replace him...

    Thinking of this, An Wujiu felt a tingling in his back.

    The monster burst into desperate screams and roars in the burning, and the nursery rhyme on the fourth floor did not continue to play on the fifth floor.

    The successful entry of the two people completely closed the door on the fifth floor, and the door disappeared, turning into an ordinary wall.

    The fifth floor is very quiet. An Wu Jiu lowered his head to check the blood, and found that the blood was fresh, but the blood disappeared as soon as he touched it.

    The entire corridor of blood was gone.

    "Where are they?" Shen Ti looked around.

    "Probably hiding in a safe place." An Wujiu shouted tentatively, "Wu You?"

    "We are here." Wu You's voice came from a distance.

    "Okay, let's go over." The voice came from the right, so An Wujiu and Shen Ti also walked in that direction. The lights in the corridor were dazzlingly bright, An Wu Jiu subconsciously looked up and found some black holes on the edge of the ceiling.

    "What are you looking at?" Shen Ti asked.

    An Wujiu pointed to the ceiling, “Did you see it?” He didn’t look at Shen Ti, kept raising his head and squinting again, “I don’t know. What is it, I can't see clearly."

    The next second he finished speaking, his body shook and his feet left the ground, so scared An Wugui lowered his head, "Hey..."

    Shen Ti actually picked him up.

    "Can you see clearly like this?"

    "No, no need." An Wujiu raised his head hastily, his eyes hurriedly looked for the black spot just now, and then he said to himself, he should Just let him let him go.

    Never mind.

    He reached out and touched the so-called black spot, but in fact it didn't seem to be a flat spot, but a hole the size of a bean.

    "What is it?" Shen Ti asked below.

    It's strange, it's not empty, it looks like there's a layer of reflective glass.

    An Wu Jiu looked at other places, not only the ceiling, the edge and corner of the floor, there seemed to be such a small black hole.

    "Put me down." An Wu Jiu touched Shen Ji's shoulder with his hand, this gesture made him feel a sense of shame, but Curiosity caused strange thoughts to keep popping up in his mind, such as how Shen Ti had so much strength.

    Shen Ti put him down, the two of them suddenly changed from being hugged to face-to-face, An innocent chin swept the tip of his nose, four eyes relatively.

    The exchange of sight did not last long, An Wu Jiu quickly turned his head and coughed to cover up his strange behavior.

    "What's wrong?"

    "It's all right." Out of a guilty conscience, An Wujiu treated Shen Ti's concern perfunctorily, and turned the topic back to the previous black spot, "It seems to be a camera."

    "I guess it is too." Shen Ti said, "But aren't there many cameras in an average office building?"

    An Wujiu turned around and walked in the direction of Wu You and the others, "The blame is why it's not an ordinary camera."

    It was done so concealed, as if she did not want to be discovered. If it is really just normal monitoring, why bother.

    Shen Ti walked behind, staring at An Wujiu's red ears, he thought of something dully, and touched the tip of his nose.

    When passing the corner, An Wujiu saw a safety escape map fixed on the wall, the map was the same as the first floor, showing the whole floor Layout.

    Shen Ti also noticed that the direction markings on this floor are different from those on the fourth floor.

    Accurately speaking, only the fourth layer is different, and it is completely opposite to the other four layers.

    An Wu Jiu did not speak, walked quietly around the corner and saw a door open in the corridor. He heard Wu You's voice, so he went straight over, just in time for them to open Zhong Yirou Nan Shan's hard drive.

    "Does this door need permission?"

    Wu You glanced at him, "No, the door is open, but this host may need you to open it." Probably because of the previous electric shock, Wu You's face was particularly ugly, and his voice was very vague.

    An Wujiu walked over, the recognizer quickly caught his face, and a line of words appeared on the screen.

    [No permissions. ]

    "How come?" Wu You didn't understand, "Shouldn't this floor be yours?"

    Shen Ti pushed his shoulders away from An Wujiu, "I'll come."

    The screen unlocked as soon as he leaned in.

    [Welcome back, A01! ]

    It's really his authority.

    Soon, an unread message popped up on the screen from A02.

    [Brother, I still feel a little weird, I always forget what happened, and then I suddenly think, am I sick? When it comes to you, I can't even remember what you looked like when you were a child, but didn't we grow up together? ]

    A02's memory disorder?

    Shen Ti thought about it, and then inserted the two micro-hard drives he had just obtained into the device connectors of the host computer, and then came Nan Shan and Zhong Yirou.

    Another line of words appeared on the screen.

    [Would you like to review the logs submitted to you now? ]

    Shen Ti chose Yes.

    An Wujiu turned to look at the rest of the room, there seems to be a camera on the edge of the ceiling, if the corridor is a normal camera placement point, I'm afraid Not anymore.

    A single bed resting against the wall and a small desk with three metal picture frames, one of which is The appearance of two children, sitting side by side on the grass, may be the reason for the game setting, these two children are almost pinched according to the appearance of An Wu Jiu and Shen Ti.

    Especially Shen Ti's green eyes.

    However, the two children seem to be about the same age, and it is impossible to tell which is the older brother and which is the younger brother.

    The other photo is of them growing up. In the picture, A02, who looks exactly like him, is playing a building block game with a group of children, and A01 is next to the door Standing, the picture is very warm.

    The protagonist in the last photo is a middle-aged man holding a little boy in one hand, A01 and A02.

    This is their father?

    An Wujiu put his finger on the photo, and suddenly a holographic projected text appeared in front of him.

    [This is the previous owner of the shelter and the father of A01, your adoptive father. He adopted you twenty years ago. So you and A01 became brothers. After your father died, you have been assisting A01 in handling the affairs of the shelter, but you have a congenital atrial septal defect, a genetically induced abnormality of heart development. ]

    A02 was adopted…

    Obviously he has a congenital disease, but they still choose to treat him as their child and brother.

    Then A02 really fell in love with his brother, although only in name.

    After Shen Ti made his choice, the log inside popped up directly. The first one was Zhong Yirou's, and her content was very concise.

    [October 7th work log:

    Liquid nitrogen freezer temperature: minus 196 degrees Celsius

    Total clones: 245

    Cryogenic Chamber Abnormal: None, everything is working normally.

    Another: The E layer has a short-term permission failure, and the system quickly repairs itself.

    Recording time: 23:34 minutes. ]

    Wu You then understood, "So the freezer that appeared on the fourth floor just now should be the first floor."

    Nan Shan, who was sitting beside him, also said softly, "The content of this log is highly consistent with the dream that Miss Zhong said before. She said that she did bad things in the dream. , guarding many identical frozen bodies of adults."

    After they read it, the log will be automatically deleted and destroyed.

    An Wugui was puzzled by such a high level of secrecy.

    "What's the use of those clones?" Josh whispered, "Why do you clone so many A02s?"

    An Wujiu glanced at him.

    "Let's look at other things first." Wu You bumped his arm against Shen Ti's arm, "Hurry up."

    Sir Shen Ti did not remember the villain's deeds, and the second log also popped up.

    This is Nanshan.

    [October 7th work log:

    Treatment of cadavers and experimental waste materials: 6 cases

    Clonal resuscitation failure: 0 cases

    23:45 min]

     is also related to clones.

    An Wu Jiu frowned and suddenly heard Wu You call Josh's name in surprise.

    "What's wrong with your back?"

    Josh was stunned, but a large area of ​​dizzy blood suddenly appeared on his back, and the fabric in the center of the blood was split open out of thin air.

    An Wu Jiu immediately opened his clown suit to check.

    "You have marks of a medium knife behind your back."

    The wound looks deep, just behind the heart, it should be fatal.

    In addition, such a large blood stain should not be the beginning of the piercing, and the color of the blood is not new enough.

    Not only that, but Yang Erci also found that Zhong Yirou's scar on Nanshan's neck appeared again, as if the disappearance of the fourth floor was just a dream.

    “Do you feel any pain?” An Wujiu pressed the wound on Josh’s back.

    Josh shook his head, "It doesn't feel anything..."

    A new conjecture appeared in An Wujiao's heart.

    "Cough cough..." Wu You suddenly supported the wall and coughed. He covered his mouth with his hands and coughed up some liquid, thinking it was blood.

    You can take a look and see that it is water.

    He didn't understand why he suddenly felt choked and coughed up so much water.

    "What's wrong with you?"

    When she heard Nan Shan's voice, An Wu Jiu realized that in a blink of an eye, Wu You's hair and shirt were soaked, and the knees of his lower body were also soaked. wet.

    "What's going on?" Josh didn't feel right, "Is it really the ghost of A02 who is taking revenge on us?"

    Everyone has an abnormality invariably, but it is not life-threatening, and even everyone is in good condition.

    Shen Ti checked the rest of the logs alone, and Josh's log also popped up.

    [October 7th work log:

    Today, it is difficult for my friend to complete the task. A02 is not in a good state and seems to be in a bad mood. I am concerned about his condition, but he has not told me the reason.

    Growing Show: It's working fine.

    23:56. ]

    Then Wu You's.

    [October 7th work log:

    The surrogacy factory is operating normally

    The parent of the clone is normal.

    Talk to A02 today 32

    Seeing this, An Wujiu frowned.

    Why not finish?

    This work log is also automatically destroyed, so I can't help but wonder if this will also be automatically uploaded to A01.

    The last is Yang Erci's log report, which is longer than the previous ones.

    [October 7th work log:

    In the follow-up results of the gene editing experimenters, the effect of growth factor promoters in binding to the nutrient pool is good, which can compress the growth period of cloned embryos to adults To six months, after many experiments and repeated adjustment of parameters, this is the fastest speed that can be achieved at present. But the corresponding side effects are also obvious, the first is shortening of lifespan]

    Her journal also came to an abrupt end.
