Chapter 780 Pandora Project
A sudden sound came from the outdoor walkie-talkie hanging next to the glass window, and the young researcher who had just replaced the battery was startled.
He quickly turned his head to look at the glass window, and then froze there just like Li Yun who had just seen him.
"May I have your name?"
Li Yun asked again.
The young researcher came back to his senses, suppressed the surprise in his heart and replied: "Li An, my name is Li An."
Li Yun's eyes moved slightly and he continued to ask: "The new person who was just transferred?"
Li An nodded and looked at Li Yun with some surprise.
Li Yun hesitated and asked again: "Li An, do you... have a sister?"
Li An was slightly startled, then nodded and said, "Yes, I have a sister named Li Xia."
"..."
Li Yun seemed to be staring at Li An calmly, but in fact, there was a turmoil in his heart.
As he expected, the young man in front of him who looked quite similar to him was his peer in the parallel world.
His sister in his previous life was also named Li Xia, and because he had leukemia, her sister tried to change his name to Li Kang or Li An to pray for Li Yun's health.
But the attending doctor at the time felt that "Li" and "Li" are homophonic, so aren't Li Kang and Li An the same as Li Shou and Li An?
After hearing the attending doctor's analysis, my sister thought it made sense, and then gave up the idea of changing Li Yun's name.
But in this world, his counterpart in the parallel world actually changed his name, and judging from his appearance, it is very likely that he has cured his illness and joined the ninth category affairs company.
……Is this a coincidence?
Or is it that the other party did it on purpose?
But this is strange. He has obviously not revealed any information about his previous life. How did the other party know about it?
Li Yun pondered for a moment, nodded towards Li An, then turned and walked towards the room, no longer communicating with him.
Li An was a little baffled by Li Yun's reaction.
He stood outside the window and stared for a while. It wasn't until a layer of golden-red energy covered the bed, blocking the light, that he came back to his senses, apologized with some embarrassment, and then turned and left.
…
Not long after, Dr. Schmidt came to the window.
After politely conveying the communication signal to Li Yun, he picked up the walkie-talkie.
"What's up?"
Li Yun's voice came from the intercom.
Dr. Schmidt said with a smile: "Mr. Li Yun, I didn't disturb you, did I?"
Li Yun waved his hand to remove the golden-red energy covering the glass window, glanced at the white coat outside the window and said: "Dr. Schmidt, you are the person who knows me best in Base 3. If you have anything to say, just say it." Bar!"
"Then I'll just tell you!"
Dr. Schmidt smiled and said: "As for your identity, we have found some clues through some kind of containment object."
"If I guess correctly, you should be from Earth too, right?"
Li Yun glanced at him, nodded and said, "That's right."
Dr. Schmidt took out a photo from his arms, pasted it on the glass window, and asked softly: "Do you know her?"
"..."
Seeing the woman with wrinkles on her face in the photo, Li Yun looked calm on the surface, but inside she seemed to be still, falling into a long-lost absence.
...she is really a sister!
Although her temperament and appearance were slightly different, Li Yun knew that the woman in the photo was definitely his sister Li Xia.
No, it should be said that she is the peer of her sister's parallel world.
In the words of "Shading the Sky", it is a similar flower.
Soon, Li Yun came back to his senses. He looked at Dr. Schmidt outside the window and said lightly: "I don't know him."
Dr. Schmidt smiled.
He put away the photo and said softly: "Please don't get me wrong. Ms. Li Xia is one of the local businessmen we support. Her brother Li An has graduated from a private university affiliated to the company and is now one of us."
"All of the above happened before you showed up and have nothing to do with you."
Li Yunding stared at him and suddenly sighed and said: "Since you have already confirmed it, why do you still come to ask me?"
Dr. Schmidt smiled: "Of course we are expressing our goodwill to you!"
Li Yun said lightly: "Oh? Is it kind?"
Dr. Schmidt smiled and said: "Yes, please rest assured that our ninth category affairs company is committed to balancing the world and containing anomalies. We are by no means extremists like the Broken Temple and the Crimson Sect."
"Even if it is confirmed that you are from the Earth in the parallel world, we will never threaten your family members in the parallel world. What's more, Li An and Li Xia are still members of our company..."
"Yeah?"
Li Yun said lightly: "Why do I feel that you are not sure about my attitude towards them?"
Dr. Schmidt smiled and did not directly answer Li Yun's question.
Seeing his attitude, Li Yun also understood that the company did have this consideration.
In fact, after discovering that Li Yun was a humanoid anomaly who could communicate and had a friendly attitude towards the human species, the base began to think of using Li Yun.
But the power Li Yun possesses is too strong.
If he breaks away from the [Immovable Lock], it will be difficult for the company to take him back.
Therefore, before the plan is implemented, they must confirm Li Yun's humanity and understand Li Yun's weaknesses.
To this end, they did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of dozens of D-class personnel, and learned some information from another humanoid anomaly containment object. The most precious information among them was the appearance of Chinese businessman Li Xia.
After investigation, the company finally learned an extremely important piece of information.
That was Li Xia's younger brother Li An, a grassroots researcher at another base of the company. Before he was sixteen, his name was actually Li Yun.
After learning this information, Base No. 3 held an emergency meeting and finally came to the conclusion that "Li Yun comes from a parallel world" and made a plan to use Li Xia's sister and brother to test Li Yun.
As a result, Li An was transferred to Base No. 3, and Li Xia's photo was also sent to Dr. Schmidt...
This is a conspiracy, so Dr. Schmidt doesn't mind that Li Yun will find out.
Li Yun did understand what they meant, but he also wanted to use the power of Category 9 Affairs Company to access the contained objects, so he showed a reaction that was in line with Dr. Schmidt's expectations.
Of course, this reaction was half-truth.
Li Yun really doesn't care about himself in the parallel world, but he can't just sit idly by and ignore his sister in the parallel world.
Both parties have their own hidden agendas, but they go in both directions and advance the progress of the 'cooperation' plan in an orderly manner.
In the next half month, Dr. Schmidt brought Li An over to chat with Li Yun almost every day.
It wasn't until one day half a month later that Li Yun took the initiative to ask to meet Li Xia. Dr. Schmidt knew that the time had come and immediately summoned all base personnel above the supervisory level to discuss the issue of the 'Pandora Project'.
The so-called Pandora Project, as the name suggests, is a metaphor for Pandora's Box in ancient Greek mythology.
When the mythical Pandora's Box was opened, all the evil in the world was released.
Although Li Yun cannot be called evil, he has the power to destroy the world and is known as the World-Destroying Demon King.
Naming the plan after Pandora is indeed suitable for this plan.
After some discussion, the radicals headed by Dr. Schmidt and 'Observer' Madden proposed that Li Yun be given a certain degree of freedom under the supervision of at least an elite containment team.
Although this proposal is very feasible, many senior base managers still oppose it.
Finally, after a week-long push and pull, the base's senior officials finally gave the go-ahead to the plan called 'Pandora'.
However, when it came to monitoring Li Yun, they made another request, which was to use [Immovable Lock] to seal off the entire seventh floor of Base No. 3, and then only open the seventh floor to Li Yun.
This requirement means that when Li Yun is released, all staff on the seventh floor will also become prisoners.
Dr. Schmidt was a little dissatisfied with this, but with the insistence of other senior executives, he had no choice but to accept it.
So, on this day, the ‘Pandora Project’ was officially implemented!
This was the first time that Category 9 Affairs Company had a positive cooperative relationship with humanoid containment objects after its establishment. Therefore, on the day the plan was implemented, three of the five directors on the company's top board of directors set their sights on Base Three.
"laugh--"
As a slight electric spark sounded, the neon letters on the scroll screen went out instantly.
At the same time, the blocking effect of [Immovable Lock] also disappeared simultaneously.
Li Yun just pulled lightly and opened the door with no more strength than an ordinary adult.
...This is an abnormal containment object!
When the effect is turned on, a few hundred watts of power and no more than one kilowatt hour of electricity can block enough energy to shatter the planet.
And when the effect is turned off, even a child who is naturally thin can easily open the door.
Li Yun sighed in his heart while taking steps toward the world outside the door.
The moment he walked out of the door, the [Unshakable] effect was activated again.
Li Yun noticed the unreasonable solidity of the ground, and immediately raised his eyebrows slightly, turning his head to look at the corridor on the left.
On the door of the next room, another slightly larger scroll screen was opened simultaneously. The red letters scrolling on it were the 'CLOSE' that he was so familiar with these days...
Seeing this scene, Li Yun paused for a moment, then turned his head, looked at the smiling Dr. Schmidt and said calmly: "Okay, doctor, it turns out that the information on that day not only concealed the activation methods of the contained objects, but also the abnormal items. quantity."
"2-159 [Immovable Lock], actually... there's more than one, right?"
