I, the Lord of the Fifth Heavenly Throne, flow out of all things!

In reality, Duanmulian opened her eyes in the body of a young child. After hearing Ayase Kozo's low curse, she looked around with lifeless eyes.

At this moment, he was lying on the operating table, with medical electrodes on his chest and a needle inserted in his wrist, delivering some unknown medicine.

Ayase Kozo was recording Duanmulian's physical data not far away. When he saw that the clone's brain waves became unstable again, he cursed in annoyance.

Compared with the previous clones with weak consciousness, Duanmulian's final work is considered good.

In order to find out the physical secrets of Zarathustra, Ayase Kozo was very focused. After seeing Duanmulian wake up, he also asked him a few questions about his body.

When asked what he felt before he lost consciousness, Duanmulian answered like this.

“I feel like I have become another person.”

This answer was given by Duanmu Lian based on the memories of his predecessors, and this answer made Ayase Kozo think of the prototype Fujii Ren.

He took Duanmulian to a room full of computer screens, and the images on each screen were surveillance videos of Ayase Kozo's own home.

As for who is being monitored, you can tell by looking at the little boy with blue hair and blue eyes who looks exactly like Duan Mu Lian on the screen.

The little boy on the screen is none other than Fujii Ren.

Duanmulian's body was created by Star Spider and Ayase Kozo using materials extracted from each other.

When Duanmu Lian looked at Fujii Ren on the screen, her eyes immediately became confused.

Then, in the disappointed eyes of Ayase Kozo, he "couldn't help" and began to imitate Fujii Ren's every move.

This is what every clone with weak consciousness would do before Duanmulian.

Because the clone has a weak consciousness, it will only make such imitative movements when it sees the real Fujii Ren or gets close to her.

Although Duanmulian was relatively conscious, she still deliberately showed her shortcomings.

After Ayase Kozo left, Duanmu Lian was left alone, staring blankly at the screen, watching Fujii Ren living her daily childhood.

At this moment, he is dividing and organizing his memories.

In order to prevent anyone from spying on her memory, Duanmulian in the interior space used the method taught by Darien to create an inner and outer personality.

In reality, Duanmulian has no memory of anything related to the system, and all his actions are carried out under the suggestion and influence of Duanmulian in the interior of the space.

"E-413, is there anything you would like to do?"

One day, while Duanmu Lian was conscious and clear and had some free time, Ayase Kozo couldn't help but ask Duanmu Lian, who was sitting blankly on the laboratory chair.

He had taught this final work what a child should learn.

But at this age when children are enthusiastic and active, E-413 did not show enthusiasm for anything and only listened to his orders like a machine.

Even if Duanmulian felt pain during the experiment, she would not scream, but would just frown or wrinkle her entire face.

This gave Ayase Kozo some other ideas about this experimental subject.

Since scientific and technological means cannot solve the mystery of the defects of Zarathustra's clone, we have to find a way to bring out the differences or highlights of the final work so that he can understand the principle.

"I want to do...something? What is this order?"

Duanmulian tilted her head and looked at Ayase Kozo with eyes full of emptiness. She did not answer directly, but asked the other party back.

"It's not an order, it's something you want to do!"

Ayase Kozo had no complaints about Duanmu Lian's obedience, but from the perspective of an experimenter, he hoped that this final work would have a little bit of self-expression.

He didn't ask the other person to be like Fujii Ren, but he asked that the other person could show some things that a normal child should have so that he could record the experimental variables.

Duanmulian was silent for a moment, then gave an answer that made Ayase Kozo frown.

"...Let's cook."

“Why cooking?”

"Cars need gasoline to run, and people need nutrition to move freely."

"...So what are you going to do now that you have the nutrition to move?"

"Sleep, listen to your instructions, and wait for the next meal to replenish your nutrition."

"........"

Upon hearing this, Ayase Kozo was completely speechless.

Eat and then sleep, then do experiments according to his requirements after waking up, then eat and go back to sleep, waiting for orders.

There's really not much difference between them and robots.

Although Last Order has the appearance of a child, his thinking is very empty and he does not show a strong interest in anything.

This is probably the effect of growing up in a closed environment.

Thinking of this, Ayase Kozo couldn't help but look around, and then took Duanmulian to another experimental base and gave him a small place where he could move freely.

Well...it's similar to the area in prison where prisoners are allowed to move around freely, except that it's equivalent to the backyard, and there are surveillance cameras and steel fences everywhere.

At the same time, regarding Duanmulian's growth, Ayase Kozo also brought him a lot of cooking-related books and allowed him to watch TV programs related to cooking.

The unchanging experimental subjects mean that it is difficult to make breakthroughs in the experimental progress.

Ayase Kozo is unable to solve the various problems of Zarathustra's clone himself, so he has to find a way to make some changes to the experimental body.

If Duanmu Lian was the only clone left, Ayase Kozo wouldn't be so concerned about the issue of the experimental subjects.

But she is the only one left, so for his own future, he still hopes that Duanmulian can live a little longer.

This result was caused by Duanmu Lian following the "strategy" left by his predecessors.

Now he no longer needs to deal with the bug of Eternal Zed’s return.

What Duanmu Lian needs to do in reality is to try to buy time.

Once you die, it means returning to the starting point of the past timeline. In this way, Duanmulian will not know when the whole world will be directly restarted by "eternal return".

Therefore, he had to stay alive and try his best to survive until the end of the story in Suwahara City.

This way you can determine your free time.

And Ayase Kousou, who was forced to leave the stage early and was stabbed to death with a knife by Yusa Shilang, obviously could not use the force.

Therefore, Duanmulian set his sights on Red Spider, who would take over from him sooner or later.

...........

"How is the fake now?"

After meeting Ayase Kozo again, Red Spider chatted with him about some experimental issues and then casually asked about Duanmu Lian.

Although Starscream no longer had any hope, he still had to ask.

Zarathustra's plan has been terminated. Although he still has the materials extracted from Fujii Ren, he no longer needs to clone because of the defects of the clone.

"E-413 is very good, but the experiment has not made any major breakthroughs. He is the only individual with a relatively clear consciousness, although he is still not as good as the prototype, but..."

Ayase Kōzo did not hide anything and told Red Spider everything about Duanmulian, big and small.

His evaluation of Duanmu Lian was that she was a very obedient and useful guinea pig.

However, since he couldn't get what he wanted and couldn't overcome the defects of the clone, Ayase Kozo had some conflicting feelings towards Duanmulian, as if he didn't want to eat her but was reluctant to abandon her.

After all, this is the last clone that can be used for experiments, and it will be gone once it is used up.

"Oh.....Take me to see him."

Hearing that there was still no progress on the clone's defects, Red Spider lost interest, but because Duanmulian was different from the previous clones, he still planned to take a look.

Following Ayase Kozo to Duanmu Lian's room, Red Spider saw Duanmu Lian sitting among a pile of books reading through the one-way glass.

"E-413 grew up in a closed environment, so his mind is relatively closed and empty. His body functions are normal. Now, under my orders, he has started to study independently..."

Ayase Kozo got the record report about Duanmulian from somewhere and gave it to Red Spider.

Starscream listened to Ayase Kozo's report, took the report from him and started reading it.

Seeing this, Red Spider couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Although there are still defects in consciousness and body, other aspects are indeed much better than previous clones.

According to the record report of Kozo Ayase, although the clone E-413 did not show any special abilities, it was relatively good in concentration and learning ability.

Duan Mu Lian 'obeyed' Ayase Kozo's orders and began to learn knowledge beyond her current age.

Although his performance is not that of a super genius, it is also not something that can be summarized by ordinary people.

Today, Duanmu Lian has mastered the world's language system and multiple foreign languages ​​through the experience of her predecessors.

I have even made some small achievements in other skills.

Although this was Duanmulian's own experience before taking over, in Ayase Kozo's eyes, E-413 was not only obedient but also excellent.

Although he was not particularly proficient in the skills he had learned (Len did this on purpose), he had made achievements in cooking, which was his interest, far beyond what Ayase Kozo could have imagined.

"Well... in terms of props, it's really good."

After reading the experimental report on Duanmulian, Red Spider nodded, and a thoughtful gleam flashed in his shrewd eyes.

As long as the defects of the clone cannot be solved, no matter how outstanding Duanmulian is, she will just be a consumable.

Starscream is not a fighter among the Thirteen Knights of the Holy Lance, nor does he have any extraordinary values. He is ultimately just a realist.

Therefore, he did not have much desire for the gold refining that the Black Round Table pursued. His pursuit could be achieved as long as he survived in this world.

Unlike every other lunatic in the Black Round Table, Starscream is just a very cheesy and easy to understand character.

His main behavioral principles now are fear and selfishness.

The other members of the Black Round Table have lived the past 60 years with boredom and dissatisfaction in their quest to revive the dead made of gold, create immortality, and return to Reinhard.

Only Starscream enjoyed these 60 years. During this period, he just sang the praises of his own life, killing, raping, and robbing according to his own ideas.

However, due to his fear of Reinhard, Mercurius, and the Three Knights, Starscream has been acting to prevent them from returning to the real world.

Before he became a member of the Black Round Table, he was a scientist who conducted repeated human experiments in various shelters and extermination facilities.

After the end of World War II, he was also responsible for espionage activities.

The task assigned to him by the Black Round Table was to explore and create the next gold refining site.

The construction work of Suwahara is in charge of Starscream, who is quite outstanding in organizational operations and economic acumen.

"Please keep an eye on Zarathustra for the time being. Please lend me E-413 for the time being."

Thinking about the matter of gold refining, Starscream gave direct instructions to Ayase Kozo who was standing beside him.

Ayase Kozo had no objection. After all, he had not been able to overcome the physical defects of the clone for some time.

Although Duanmu Lian is the last clone, she is a consumable after all. As long as the prototype Fujii Lian is still there, it will be fine.

And just as Duanmulian expected, Red Spider took him away.

For E-413, in addition to research, Starscream naturally has to make good use of this prop.

"Excuse me, how should I address you?"

Duan Mu Lian, who was taken away from the laboratory by Red Spider and followed behind him, asked in a calm and ethereal voice.

"Name? I've long since given up on that. Just call me Mr. Spinne. Call me Fred in front of outsiders."

The man with fair skin, slender hands and feet and a thin figure glanced at Duan Mulian who was following him quietly.

Although he spoke politely, every part of his words and actions was permeated with vulgar sensibility.

However, Duanmu Lian had long been accustomed to this old acquaintance. No matter how disgusted or repulsive he was, he could remain calm. After all, he had gone through this round countless times.

"So what does Mr. Spinne need me to do?"

"Well, do as I ask. After that, I need you to approach someone and record their information."

"I have never done anything like this."

"I know. I will train you well on how to do it later."

Nowadays, Red Spider's identity in the world is the chairman of an American pharmaceutical company, and his alias is Fred Harman.

He took Duanmulian away because he saw the value of this child as a prop.

And what Red Spider did was just as Duanmulian expected. She first brainwashed him and then began to train him with military methods.

During this period, Duanmulian obediently served as Red Spider's subordinate and acted according to his orders.

Two months later, Starscream forged an identity for him and asked someone to take him to the Suwahara city which was under construction.
