Chapter 1198: The truth?

Twelve years old... a sudden brain disease?

He seemed to have caught a glimpse of something, but it was still separated by a layer of window paper that he hadn't managed to poke through. Li Ang could only record this piece of intelligence, then frowned and said:

"But we did bind... help Princess Fei Liya break free from Prince An De Lie's control."

"And after we saved her, she told us that the entire royal family of the Ke Luo Ke Kingdom had already been murdered by Prince An De Lie, their brains removed and turned into A Ti Fei sub-bodies. I even obtained one."

As he said this, Li Ang reached out and brushed his cuff, taking out A Ti Fei 128. He then used the 【Cutting Silver Dagger】 to slice open its outer shell, prying it open slightly to reveal the brain wrapped in transparent gel inside.

"Look."

He handed A Ti Fei 128 over, and after letting the sloppy man see the situation inside, Li Ang continued:

"After learning about the situation of the Ke Luo Ke royal family, I immediately cut open this sub-body to check inside. I found that there was indeed a living brain, and this brain was indeed from the Ke Luo Ke royal family."

As Li Ang spoke, he endured the nausea and cut open the brain wrapped in gel, revealing a structure inside that was clearly different from that of an ordinary person.

"Although I don't understand brain structure, according to her, the brains of the Ke Luo Ke royal family are different from ordinary people's. These few areas are abnormally developed, reaching several times or even more than that of an ordinary person."

Using the tip of the blade to point out the special parts of the brain and letting the sloppy man identify them, Li Ang pinched the cut he had made back together, wiped away the cut marks with his fingertips, and restored A Ti Fei 128 to its original state. He then frowned and said:

"Additionally, in order to help Fei Liya break free from control, I also briefly cut open her brain and removed the information chip implanted inside. The structure inside her brain was indeed very similar to this brain."

"So, regardless of whether the news is true or false, she is a member of the Ke Luo Ke royal family. Coupled with the brain in A Ti Fei 128 as evidence, I believe the credibility of her news is very high."

"But... but she really is already dead!"

After seeing the "evidence" provided by Li Ang, the sloppy man, who had just been insisting that his own information was absolutely correct, was momentarily stunned. He muttered to himself with a bewildered look in his eyes:

"Could it be... that she was saved later? But if she was saved, why didn't Emperor Fei En tell me? And I haven't seen that child appear again either..."

Saved later... that child...

Hearing this, it was as if the wall blocking his path had been pushed down. Li Ang finally grasped that slippery inspiration and asked somewhat urgently:

"Mr. Bei Er, let me ask you, what was the relationship between Prince An De Lie and Princess Fei Liya?"

"They were both children of the Wang Hou, so their relationship was naturally very good. An De Lie was a few years older and had always taken good care of this younger sister. And when that child Fei Liya was alive, she was also very attached to him."

"I see... then in your No. 1 Scientific Research Area, is there any technology that can bring people back to life?"

"How is that possible..."

Hearing Li Ang's words, the sloppy man couldn't help but say speechlessly:

"Science can't do everything. Even if the body can be copied, what about the soul? Even in the No. 1 Scientific Research Area, research on the soul is very limited... Um... wait!"

As he said this, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something. The sloppy man couldn't help but hiss, his cheeks twitching slightly as he said:

"Although our No. 1 Area doesn't have resurrection technology, we do have a way to create bodies. And just last month, there was a breakthrough, and we created more than a dozen 'empty shell people' that have no souls but can live..."

Empty shell people without souls... then that matches up!

Having vaguely formed a guess, Li Ang pondered slightly, then continued to ask:

"Mr. Bei Er, may I ask when A Ti Fei was created? Does it overlap with the time Fei Liya suddenly developed brain disease?"

"?!!!" Hearing Li Ang's question, the sloppy man couldn't help but be slightly stunned. After realizing what he was suspecting, he was suddenly so angry that his face flushed red.

"Don't talk nonsense! A Ti Fei has existed for a long time!"

"When Emperor Fei En's twin sister was still alive, the No. 1 Scientific Research Area already had the prototype of similar technology. Although it wasn't as powerful as it is now, the intelligence was already at the same level as humans. The current A Ti Fei 01 is just the second generation after improvements!"

"Okay."

Li Ang nodded upon hearing this, then said with a burning gaze:

"Then when was the improved A Ti Fei 01 made? Does it overlap with the time Fei Liya died of brain disease?"

"..."

"Mr. Bei Er?"

"In terms of time... it is relatively close... About a week after Fei Liya passed away from brain disease, the progress of the A Ti Fei 01 project that had been stuck... achieved a breakthrough..."

Discovering that the truth of the matter might really be what Li Ang guessed, the sloppy man couldn't help but open his mouth, saying somewhat powerlessly:

"But it shouldn't be like this. Emperor Fei En... he loved that child Fei Liya very much. That day he really cried very sadly, so... so I think..."

"Mr. Bei Er, people sometimes deceive even themselves."

After thinking for a moment, Li Ang said:

"Some people, under pressure, will make decisions they don't approve of themselves, and then, to avoid being alienated by those around them, choose to hide the truth from them. His tears might be real, but why they were shed is hard to say."

"Additionally, you can also think on the bright side. The truth might not be that cruel. Perhaps Fei Liya really did suffer from some acute illness, and in order to keep his daughter, King Emperor Fei En chose to do this."

"But... if this is the case..."

"Mr. Bei Er, there isn't enough intelligence right now, everything is just a guess, but some things can almost be confirmed."

After interrupting the sloppy man's words, Li Ang said with pointed meaning amidst his complex expression of loss:

"More than ten years ago, for some reason, the young Princess Fei Liya died. Her brain was removed and, like these sub-bodies, became the core of A Ti Fei 01."

"And more than ten years later, Prince An De Lie, for some reason, killed all the royal family members, removed their brains, and turned them into A Ti Fei sub-bodies, giving them the same ending as his own sister."

"After doing all this, he relied on the technology of your No. 1 Scientific Research Area to recreate a Princess Fei Liya, gave her the treatment of a princess, and arranged princess-level guards, as if to make up for some regret, really treating her as his own sister."

"..."

"Mr. Bei Er."

After glancing at the silent sloppy man, Li Ang said:

"According to my personal judgment, the bloodbath that occurred to the Ke Luo Ke royal family should be a revenge from an older brother."
