Pastoral country.
Qinggu City, the capital, Panshi Prison.
Su Ze was in a small prison made of super alloy material. Only a small window the size of a human face on the cell door let in some light.
It was the third day since he had traveled through time, and he had already accepted the fact that he had traveled through time.
The good news is that he traveled through time and became a top-notch rich man.
The bad news is that he will be executed early tomorrow morning.
The even worse news is that on the third day of traveling, the plug-in still hasn’t arrived! ! !
Where am I hanging?
The original owner of Su Ze's body was named Zhao Lingxiao. He was seventeen years old, tall, long-legged, and handsome.
Zhao Lingxiao not only has a good-looking body, he also has money! As the only son of Zhao Yuanyi, the Minister of Finance of the Pastoral Kingdom, Zhao Lingxiao has been proficient in money making skills since he was a child.
When Su Ze traveled to him, it was originally Tianhu's start, but Zhao Lingxiao made a big mistake. A month ago, he committed a major crime that shocked the whole country, raping and killing the princess!
And she is the most favored princess.
The full name of the Mu Kingdom is the Mu Kingdom, which is a constitutional monarchy.
Unlike some constitutional monarchy countries in the previous life on earth, the so-called king did not have any real power and mostly acted as a mascot. The successive kings of the Pastoral Kingdom all held real power.
Especially the current Shepherd King, as the most powerful man in the Shepherd Kingdom, a saint-level life form that has experienced four evolutions, is a man of great power in the country. He has grasped the military and political power, and is so powerful that even the parliament is useless.
The Princess Zhuzhi killed by Zhao Lingxiao was the most beloved daughter of King Mu. She was known as the pearl of the kingdom and an unparalleled genius. She was regarded by King Mu as the successor who would definitely surpass him in the future.
It can be said that after Zhao Lingxiao was brought to justice, he was not executed on the spot. He was already the Mu King and still respected the law.
From Su Ze's point of view, Zhao Lingxiao did indeed deserve to die, but what did the crime Zhao Lingxiao committed have to do with Su Ze?
He is not Zhao Lingxiao, so naturally he is not willing to just accept his fate.
In the past three days, when he didn't have a headache, he had been thinking about ways to save himself.
As soon as he mentioned the headache, Su Ze felt that his head began to feel a dull pain again, and it tended to get worse. Su Ze was already familiar with this kind of headache. It had been accompanied by headache when he fused Zhao Lingxiao's memory two days ago.
But this time the headache was unusual. It was more severe than the previous two days. About ten minutes later, Su Ze was curled up on the wooden bed, shaking violently, making the wooden bed under him squeak. sound.
The metal cell walls were not soundproof, and soon there were shouts and curses from the next cell: "Damn it, you don't have to work so hard if you're going to die tomorrow!"
Su Ze had no time to pay attention to the murderer next door. Under the severe pain, a lock seemed to be broken in his mind, and some blocked memories emerged.
In the memory, Su Ze, or the former owner of the body, was lying in a nutrition cabin. Through the transparent glass cabin cover, he saw a person looking down at him. It was a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, with a face like his. Familiar yet unfamiliar faces.
Zhao Lingxiao!
The person outside the nutrition cabin is Zhao Lingxiao.
That’s not right!
How come there are two Zhao Lingxiao?
This was Zhao Lingxiao's memory. Zhao Lingxiao was lying in the nutrition cabin from the first-person view, but he saw the second Zhao Lingxiao outside the nutrition cabin!
Su Ze felt extremely weird and couldn't understand it.
I saw Zhao Lingxiao outside the glass cabin showing a look of joy and excitedly saying: "Dad, it worked! It's amazing, it's exactly like me!"
A handsome, gentlemanly old man in a suit walked up to Zhao Lingxiao, took a look inside the nutrition cabin, nodded with satisfaction, and praised to the other side: "Professor Feng is worthy of being the leader in evolution in our pastoral country, even as a father. You can’t even tell the difference.”
This handsome old man is none other than Zhao Lingxiao’s father, Zhao Yuanyi, the Minister of Finance of the Mu Kingdom.
Professor Feng, a bald and fat old man, smiled and said: "Thank you, Minister Zhao, for the compliment. We are only half successful now. The next most important thing is to copy the original memory and skills. These require your cooperation."
Zhao Yuanyi said: "The memory and skills must be copied well, otherwise you will not be able to pass the verification of identity before execution."
"I will definitely cooperate with Professor Feng fully." Zhao Lingxiao said quickly.
"Don't worry, if you clone an unevolved life form, I'm still confident that it will look real. I only need to block his memory for the past month, and even he will be convinced that he is Zhao Lingxiao." Professor Feng said confidently.
…
The memory scene ended here, and Su Ze's head no longer hurt. He lay in bed for a long time, digesting the explosive information contained in this memory.
After a moment, he sat up suddenly, with horror in his eyes.
Clone!
The original owner of his current body is not Zhao Lingxiao, but Zhao Lingxiao's clone, the scapegoat who will receive the death penalty in Zhao Lingxiao's place!
Su Ze guessed that it might be because of his time travel and the fusion of memories from two lives, which caused this blocked memory to emerge.
Just imagine, without his time travel, this clone of Zhao Lingxiao must have believed that he was Zhao Lingxiao and accepted the death penalty, while the real Zhao Lingxiao could have faked his death and got away with it, changing his identity and continuing to live.
The Zhao family and his son are really good at calculating.
"I have to save myself, I can't just sit there and wait for death!"
Su Ze felt that he had been wronged, but now that he knew that he was not the real Zhao Lingxiao, but his scapegoat, he felt even more unwilling.
But how to save yourself?
Tell the secret that you are a clone?
That might implicate Zhao Lingxiao, but what would be his own fate?
Su Ze could learn from Zhao Lingxiao's memory that on this planet called Blue Star, the attitudes of various countries towards cloning technology were similar to those on Earth in the previous life, and they all strictly prohibited the use of this technology on humans.
Especially when the evolutionary era began a thousand years ago, the power of evolution completely transformed the genes of all living things, subverting humankind's past understanding. Cloning technology also became uncontrollable and extremely dangerous. In order to avoid causing disaster, various countries All have introduced bills strictly prohibiting the research and use of cloning technology.
In other words, Su Ze's current body is an illegal product, and since he has the same appearance, memory, and bloodline as Zhao Lingxiao, King Mu will definitely not have a good impression of him.
Su Ze estimated that the best outcome for him would be life imprisonment, with a high probability of being humanely destroyed.
If you want to save yourself, this road will not work!
Su Ze thought about it over and over, and it seemed that the only way out was to escape from prison.
But this rock prison is known as the "Iron Coffin" and is the most heavily guarded prison in the Pastoral Kingdom. How easy is it to escape?
With the strength that his body has never evolved to achieve even once, he can't even defeat the guards of Rock Prison, and the success rate of escaping from prison is zero.
Su Ze was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but he forced himself to stay calm and think. He would be executed early tomorrow morning, and today was his last chance.
In other words, he not only had to come up with a way to save himself, but also had to successfully implement it today in order to save his own life.
Su Ze paced back and forth in the cell. This was a habit he had in his previous life. Whenever he concentrated on thinking, his legs could not rest. Unfortunately, the cell was too small and he had to turn around after taking two steps.
It would be great if there was a sewing machine in this cell...
Perhaps it was because Su Ze was walking back and forth a little louder, and there was another yelling and cursing coming from the next door.
Su Ze was stunned when he heard the scolding. He really couldn't escape from prison on his own, but he still had inmates!
Although the inmates may not speak nicely, they are all talented people.
Su Ze knows very well that when something is beyond one's ability, the only way to achieve it is with the help of external forces.
As for the external forces he can rely on, in addition to these vicious inmates in the prison, there is also... his identity as Zhao Lingxiao!
Although he is not Zhao Lingxiao, others don't know that in their eyes, he is Zhao Lingxiao, the only son of Minister Zhao Yuanyi and the son of the Zhao family.
With this identity, we may be able to leverage the Zhao family!
After thinking for a long time, Su Ze's eyes flashed. He knocked on the metal wall and whispered to the next door: "Brother, do you want to escape from prison?"
