This mark is bound to the soul and will never disappear unless death occurs.
Yue Lin suddenly felt a chill throughout his body, as a sliver of suspicion finally took shape: the internal spy he sent had already been swapped out.
It’s not the same person at all!
But how was this possible?
The appearance, vibe, and memories all matched, how could it be another unrelated stranger?
Yue Lin suddenly recalled that although he frequently visited the laboratory, he always stayed on the first floor and had never been to other areas, nor did he know the laboratory’s layout or what the Hand of Creation was truly researching.
He only knew that the place engaged in gene research; beyond that, he was clueless.
A word flashed in his mind—Replication.
It was rumored that some crazy scientists attempted to replicate lower life forms using genetic technology years ago, and theoretically, if successful, they could also replicate more advanced beings, like the Beastman.
But this notion was way too crazy, challenging ethical limits, and was eventually collectively resisted and blocked by various parties, leaving only some rumors trickling down.
Yue Lin found many related reports, which didn’t specify whether the experiments succeeded, but overnight, all information was sealed by the top tiers, seemingly causing great panic.
Something causing such panic wouldn’t just be an unsuccessful experimental plan.
So very likely... the experiment was successful at that time.
The deeper Yue Lin investigated, the more shocked he became. He increasingly suspected that the Hand of Creation was secretly conducting such experiments, yet he never found concrete evidence.
Until one day, Xun Fu showed him the photo of a little wolf cub.
To be honest, Yue Lin didn’t react at the time, but upon reflecting on Shen Tang’s words afterward, he suddenly awakened,
Could that child... actually be connected to him?
Because it looked so much like him. Yue Lin later specifically compared his childhood photos, and the little wolf cub resembled him about seventy to eighty percent.
Perhaps there are coincidences in the world, but at this point, he preferred to believe in that "accident."
Besides a personal reason, Yue Lin wanted to keep Xun Fu also considering this aspect.
During later interactions, he deliberately probed whether Xun Fu had photos of her friend.
Unfortunately, Shen Tang had no photos with Yun Han, nor did she keep his photos, and Yue Lin ultimately couldn’t see his appearance.
But Xun Fu had repeatedly mentioned how the two looked almost identical.
If the "Replication" experiment was real, had his genes long been stolen by the laboratory and another version of himself replicated?
This sort of mad technology would certainly face resistance and might not be entirely mature, the Hand of Creation would never make it public, nor would they place the replica on Eris Star; if discovered, it would only spell trouble.
They likely deployed the replica into an unknown world.
