"Mian, why are you still doubting your own people at a time like this?"
Su Yu looked helpless and wronged…
"It's not that I'm suspicious of you guys, but this place is too strange. Lin Ya could even create an exact replica of Huo Siqian, let alone you guys. I'm afraid she'll do anything to achieve her goal, so don't blame me."
"Dr. Huo, we're real people, not clones. Look, we even saved Goddess Lu Yan."
An tried his best to explain to Huo Mian.
Then, he showed her the unconscious Lu Yan.
"Where did you find Yan?"
Huo Mian walked over with her big belly and knelt down next to Lu Yan.
Lu Yan was breathing, but she was still unconscious.
Huo Mian felt her pulse again, just like before.
She had taken some sort of medicine, causing her to fall into a coma.
It seemed like Yan was real.
However, she still didn't believe Su Yu and An.
"It was in a room along the corridor. Goddess Lu Yan was in the coffin. I was there with her ever since I was captured. President Su came to save us. We just ran into a lot of biochemical soldiers. Those monsters… are too scary."
Thinking about what had happened just now, An was still in shock.
"Mian, how will you believe that we're not clones?" Su Yu asked.
Huo Mian didn't say anything. She seemed to be thinking about how to verify their identities.
"Then let me tell you what happened between us previously. When I was first captured, I was brought here to see you. I even ate roasted duck with you, remember?"
Su Yu tried to use his previous memory to convince Huo Mian.
But…
However, Huo Mian said calmly, "Clones can share memories. I heard that Leila has all of my memories, including what happened when I was young."
"Um… Then what should we do? We're in a hurry… We can't stay here any longer… This place is an illusion. I think that once this place collapses, we'll all die here."
"What illusion? What collapse?"
Huo Mian seemed to think that what Su Yu said was unreliable, so she was confused.
"Mian, no matter how much a clone looks like the original person, they are not the real one. Leila looks so much like you and can even share your memories, but Qin Chu still saw through her. He's never touched her, let alone slept with her. Although I don't know you that well, I can tell that there's something different about her. Her eyes, her scent, and even her facial expressions… There's always something different about her. I believe that you can tell whether An and I are clones or not…"
Huo Mian looked at them but didn't say anything.
An and Su Yu were worried sick.
"Dr. Huo, we're really not clones, we're real…"
An stomped his feet in anxiety, but he didn't know how to explain it to Huo Mian.
Just then, Su Yu said, "You're in a dangerous situation right now. An told me that the professor is here too. I know supporting characters like An and I are probably not their targets. They probably want to catch you, the professor, and Lu Yan. So, you can't leave here even if you don't believe us. Why don't you take a gamble and follow us? I'll take you out. What do you think?"
"You can get out?"
Upon hearing that Su Yu could leave the underwater palace, Huo Mian felt a glimmer of hope.
She had been locked up here for the past few days and was about to go crazy. She even dreamed of leaving this godforsaken place.
