#919 - Chapter 919 I am the same as him
“So, after weighing the pros and cons, Dongfang Chen abandoned the plan to use a clone to take the punishment in his place, and instead created an enhanced version of me,” Dongfang Chen the Second said.
“Then why didn’t you try to save Dad all these years?”
“Also, the Jade Cong small world should be in your hands, right? Where is it now?”
Nata fired off two questions in a row.
“Let's answer the second question first. Actually, the Jade Cong small world was destroyed decades ago,” Dongfang Chen the Second said.
“Destroyed?” Nata was somewhat surprised.
“That's right. Why do you think I was trapped in North Siberia back then? And how did I escape later?”
“What does this have to do with the Jade Cong being destroyed?” Nata didn't understand.
“The highest authority of the space station is with Qin Lao. In order to protect the safety of the Jade Cong, I had to enter a newly discovered small world in North Siberia,” Dongfang Chen the Second explained.
This explanation was also very reasonable.
Dongfang Chen the Second's every move was being monitored by the space station. If he didn't hide in the small world, the Jade Cong could be easily discovered no matter where it was hidden.
“And then?”
“Qin Lao sent many future warriors to surround me. Even with my ninth-level strength, I couldn't possibly be a match for those future warriors.”
“I originally planned to summon a mecha spaceship from the Jade Cong small world and then escape to Mars on the spaceship. However, their reaction speed was too fast. As soon as the spaceship came out, I was attacked.”
“The Jade Cong was hit by an ion cannon at that time and was directly shattered.”
Dongfang Chen the Second made up a story that was half-true and half-false.
“Then why didn't you tell us after you came to Mars?” Nata asked.
“The deceased are gone. Why say it and make you feel bad?” Dongfang Chen the Second said.
“What would I feel bad about?” Nata asked, puzzled.
“Are you sure you wouldn't feel bad when you see another superhuman AI created by Dongfang Chen?” Dongfang Chen the Second retorted.
“I…”
Nata was speechless.
Was there even a need to ask?
He would definitely be unhappy.
It was obvious that Nata was Dongfang Chen's first-generation product, while Dongfang Chen the First (actually Chen Xing) in the small world was the second-generation product.
“So, I chose not to say it, also to be considerate of your feelings, not wanting you to be jealous of a superhuman AI who is already dead,” Dongfang Chen the Second said, patting him on the shoulder with a half-smile.
“Then, does that mean Dad's accident has nothing to do with you?” Nata said.
“Of course! Think about it, if I wanted to harm him, I could have easily dealt with him when he was in the small world. Why would he choose to risk his life to protect the Jade Cong after coming out?” Dongfang Chen the Second said with a smile.
Nata felt that there was nothing contradictory in this explanation, and said:
“Then answer another question I just mentioned: Why didn't you go to save Dad all these years?”
“Because he gave me a death order, forbidding me to go find him,” Dongfang Chen the Second didn't know how to explain, so he could only bring up Dongfang Chen.
“A death order?” Nata didn't understand.
“That's right. He said that I am the same as him. From the moment we synchronized our consciousness, we are the same person. My body has been strengthened, and I have ninth-level strength, so my ability to resist risks is stronger than his. So he chose to sacrifice himself and let me continue to live with you.” Dongfang Chen the Second fabricated.
Nata was still thinking about the truth of this sentence when Mengka spoke first:
“Tch! I don't believe this! Would he, Dongfang Chen, be so kind? Sacrificing himself for you?”
She retorted with a sneer.
“Why not? I am more convincing than you on this point! I have the same thinking and the same personality as him. How could I not know what he is thinking?”
“Don't look at him always arguing with you, but has he ever been ambiguous when handling serious matters?” Dongfang Chen the Second had to bite the bullet and continue to fabricate, otherwise the previous guiding work would be in vain.
“This…” Mengka was choked.
“What else did Dad say?” Nata asked.
“Alas! Don't be sad when I say it. Sending you to Mars was actually also his order,” Dongfang Chen the Second deliberately said it in a bad way, so that it would sound more credible.
“His order?” Nata's eyes widened.
He was not angry, but happy.
As long as Dongfang Chen still cared about him, he was happy.
“That's right. He mentioned you when he was waiting for the evaluation results in the Jade Cong small world.”
“He said: Since the Dragon Country base is not trustworthy, then the space station may also be untrustworthy. Such a passive situation as today must never happen again.”
“So he made up his mind that a new force must be formed that is not controlled by the Dragon Country and the space station, to prevent accidents.”
“Looking back now, this decision was really wise!”
