Chapter 974: Restoration Storage Point

When Zhang Heng returned to the garden gate with the plate of croissants, less than fifteen minutes had passed.

Before Zhang Heng walked towards the table, Mr. G stood up and applauded him.

“It’s so amazing... it’s definitely impressive. I have to apologize to you. To be honest, I didn’t expect you to complete this test. Now, it seems I’ve underestimated you. You are indeed the best courier for this transaction. No, it should be said that no one else can be more perfect than you. With you taking the job, I believe this transaction will proceed smoothly.”

After speaking, he picked the two wine glasses with red wine from the table and handed one to Zhang Heng.

“Please forgive me for the previous offense.”

Zhang Heng took the wine glass and put the plate of croissants on the table.

“I will start preparing now. As long as you help me to complete the transaction, I will immediately help you extract the tracking device under your cerebral cortex.”

Mr. G toasted.

After that, Zhang Heng returned the tungsten steel sword to Miss F before saying, “Thank you.”

Miss F nodded in kind. Although Zhang Heng’s performance also surprised her, she didn’t ask him any questions.

“I will send you back,” she said to Zhang Heng after taking the sword.

Zhang Heng drank the glass of wine in his hand and turned to Mr. G. “Is there anything else you’d like to talk to me about?”

“Not for now. I will let F tell you the details of the transaction before you carry out the job.” Mr. G tiptoed, patted Zhang Heng’s shoulder, and said enthusiastically, “After you bring back what I want, we will take care of your problem.”

“Okay.”

Zhang Heng put down the wine glass and walked out of the garden with Miss F.

The black SUV that sent them here was no longer there. Instead, it was replaced by Miss F’s off-road vehicle.

After the two got into the car, Miss F did not immediately send Zhang Heng to the station. Instead, she asked, “Do you have time? I will take you to see something.”

“Okay.”

Once Zhang Heng agreed, Miss F stepped on the accelerator. The off-road vehicle lurched forward like a raging bull, breaking into a wild rampage on the road. Seeing how F barrelled down the road, other cars automatically evaded it without much protest. Twenty minutes later, the vehicle finally slowed down before stopping in front of a KTV named Youhong.

Zhang Heng then saw the familiar blue new energy car in front of the door, and he took a look at the license plate, remembering that this car was parked in front of Fu Ji earlier. The waitress at the small restaurant was taken into this car.

“This is a restoration storage point,” Miss F said.

“What?”

“A restoration storage point. You know they reset the memories of glitchy clones, right?”

“Yeah.” Zhang Heng nodded.

“The memory reset is performed in the Shengtang Morgan’s memory coding room on the fifth floor. In other words, if there are problems with the clones on the first to fourth floors, they will be collected first and sent to the restoration storage point. After six days, all the clones stored there would be sent to the fifth floor for the repair.”

“So, all the problematic clones are stored there?”

“Not all of them. This is just a restoration storage point. Under normal circumstances, there are multiple restoration storage points on each floor.”

“Are there usually so many glitchy clones?” Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.

“No. Some people are dissatisfied with the clones they hire, such as their personalities or their background. Of course, if you return them to the factory because of these reasons, you will need to pay for the extra service.

“Don’t you want to know how they treat those clones?” Miss F said after pausing.

“Hmm?”

“Human clones are valuable production tools. It is necessary to take protective measures to prevent damage to those clones. As for the unlucky ones forced to stay here for six days, the employees would place them in a small prison underground. It is soundproof. No one will hear you, no matter how loud you cry. Other than that, there is a full set of restraints that can fix the clones’ teeth in one position to prevent them from harming themselves. There will be people who feed them on a regular basis. So, it will be impossible for them to go on a hunger strike. Eventually, those clones would be sent to the fifth floor with other clones. After the memory rewriting process is completed, the clones will forget everything, and they would be remade into efficient production tools once again.

“The whole process is no different from shattering your soul. After that, they would be remolded into a different person. And this process will keep repeating for the rest of their lives. The question is how different we are from human beings. We have the same DNA, the same appearance, the same emotions, and language. Just because we are born differently, and we do not come from the womb, does that mean that we have to accept such a fate?”

“Good question. Have you found the answer?” Zhang Heng asked.

“Not yet. But I will soon. We are about to reach the final destination,” Miss F said. “I hope you can join in and help us.”

“We? Who else? Mr. G?”

“Yes. Although he is human, he is our ally and leader. He has always sympathized with the clones, and he is willing to become our liberator. I know that the test just now was too much to bear, and I’m trying to defend him by justifying his behavior. I hope you can understand him. He just did what had to be done in his position. Over the years, we have done a lot of things under the nose of Shengtang Morgan. Most of them are dangerous things. That’s why our relationship with Shengtang Morgan has only gotten tenser.”

“At first, Shengtang Morgan had a different opinion on acquiescing the autonomy of the first level. Sooner or later, they would have to deal with Mr. G and the first level. Our only way out is the deal that happens the day after tomorrow. He needs to make sure that the transaction gets carried out successfully.”

“He wants to get the memory encoder,” Zhang Heng asked.

Miss F was taken aback.

“It seems you already know the details of the transaction. Did the middleman tell you?”

Zhang Heng did not answer. Instead, he asked, “What about you? You have been searching for yourself all your life and trying to be your true self. In that case, why do you still agree to marry Mr. G even though it is against your will?”

“How do you know that it is against my will?”

“Because I know what it’s like to like a person.” Zhang Heng looked into Miss F’s eyes. “You might be grateful to him because he saved you. I also know that you adore him. To you, he is your friend and mentor. You may think he is very reliable, but this is not love. In fact, you know this very well, don’t you.”
