Chapter 279
I wish my lucky brother to be as happy as I am today. ], or [I played a trick on a fool today, I hope my stupid brother is a little smarter now and didn't step into the clumsy trap of some people. ] Or [Everyone says that I always look a little melancholy. Do I have to learn from that stupid brother and laugh like a fool surrounded by a group of fools? ]
The owner of this notebook seems to be a person who rarely has negative emotions. Even if he only records some daily trivial matters, his attitude is very happy. Occasionally, some things that are not good for him happen, but when he writes them down, it feels very light and calm, and he can always resolve them by himself in the end.
However, as the content recorded in the later period becomes less and less, his physical condition seems to be getting less and less optimistic.
This is the normal state of patients with gene collapse. Damage to the body mechanism is not the most serious. The most serious thing is that their vitality declines far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. It is lucky to have a life span of 70 years. Many patients with gene collapse may not live beyond the age of 30. And Wu Jiu is obviously the most serious one.
There was only one last article before his death.
[I have made a lot of money for free for many years, and I am very happy. The only thing I am a little worried about is the other brother. He is so high-profile that he has been exposed to that person's sight. I hope he can continue to be supported by idiots like this. Maybe this is his only amulet. He should be able to live forever with his useful value? I have to admit that I am a little jealous of him...]
Swish...
The sound of paper flipping continued to sound in the room. Yuan Buwei finished reading the last line of words and closed the notebook.
He was about to get up when he was in a trance for a moment.
A very hazy picture flashed in front of him. There were passages that extended in all directions, and the surrounding walls showed a metallic silver texture.
He saw two teenagers running in the collapsing passage. To be precise, one teenager was running wildly in the passage, carrying another person on his back. They were both wearing the same clothes.
The boy running at full speed had the explosive power of a wild beast. He ran like a hurricane. He didn't need to look at what was ahead or where to go. The voice of another person kept ringing in his ears, clearly pointing him in the direction.
Their dark hair was wet with sweat, their dark gray pupils were almost burning, and their two identical faces were filled with an extremely strong desire to survive.
Yuan Buwei suddenly came to his senses.
He was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly opened his mouth and ordered System 999: "999, use my current face as a template and search the entire star network. Not limited to now, include age in the deduction, and filter out any targets that may meet the requirements."
... Before, Yuan Buwei didn't know the existence of another person, so of course he couldn't search for himself for nothing. Now he suddenly found that there was something wrong with this body, so this face was a very important clue.
Is it possible to search for childhood photos that may have existed earlier through faces, so as to determine the identities of the two people?
This is obviously the simplest and quickest way.
However, if the information of the two people is well protected and no photos have been included in the Star Network database before, then we can only think of another way...
At this moment, the excited voice of System 999 suddenly sounded: [Host, there are really photos! ]
The virtual light and shadow were projected in front of Yuan Buwei, and what appeared in the air was a report from more than 20 years ago.
In the picture, the young emperor was holding a boy who looked only two or three years old on his shoulders, laughing very happily.
And the title of the news report was——
# The first appearance of the eldest prince, the future of the empire is just around the corner #
——This young eldest prince was born delicate and cute, with thick black hair, and was looking at the camera with dark gray eyes, full of curiosity.
[According to the system's deduction, if this eldest prince is more than 20 years older, he will definitely be exactly the same as the host now. ]
System 999 was confused and full of question marks.
[Host, what's going on? Isn't it said that the eldest prince died of genetic collapse at the age of six? Even if he didn't die, there was only one eldest prince. I've never heard of twins! 】
Yuan Buwei stared at the picture for a long time, then chuckled: "I also want to know the answer to this question. However, I know the answer to another question."
System 999 asked curiously: [What question? ]
"Of course, why did the third prince... put the original body to death?"
Chapter 231 Rebel 15
The third prince Xiwen's recent life has not been smooth, and it can even be said that he has been troubled and troubled.
Ever since Wu Heng, the commander-in-chief of the empire, was born, he has been praised and expected by the empire.
His strict father has favored him and given him unparalleled attention. And such attention, as a biological son, the third prince has never received.
Seeing a young man who was only a few years older than him so successful, even the acting general pales in comparison, the Third Prince Xiwen naturally felt a little jealous.
But the education of the heir of the empire made him understand that his position was a monarch rather than a commander. The young commander was never his competitor. If the other party was the cornerstone of the empire, then the entire empire would be his. The more glorious Wu Heng was, the more glory his empire would gain.
Calmness and reason suppressed the negative emotions in his heart. The third prince decided to try to win over the commander in advance. Unfortunately, his goodwill was not responded to.
If things were just like this, the third prince believed that he had enough patience to make the light of the empire willingly submit to him. However, a secret discovery completely changed the third prince Xiwen's mind.
Two years ago, in order to better understand and win over the commander, the third prince sent people to investigate his life experience and found that the other party had a blank fourteen years, and even found old photos of the other party when he just arrived at the orphanage.
In a flash, the young boy with green eyes in the photo struck him at a certain moment, reminding him of another person, a genius who also had an S-level talent but died at the age of six.
Although the third prince had no memory of his elder brother, and the three-year age difference made him vague about his brother's death, he had heard his father regret the premature death of his other son in private many times since he was a child; countless times when the third prince performed well and tried to get praise from his father, he would be compared with the elder brother who died young by the emperor; even the outside media and those fools on the Star Network, when praising the excellence of the third prince, there were always people who couldn't help sighing "If only the eldest prince could survive"... It seemed that no matter what, he could not satisfy everyone, and would always be the "second best" choice in everyone's mind.
The moment he saw the old photo, the third prince suddenly figured out why he had been jealous all along.
This might be a kind of transference.
Because of the difference in talent, everyone thought he was not as good as his brother, and everyone felt sorry for the death of the eldest prince. Therefore, when Wu Heng, who was also S-level, appeared in front of him, it was hard not to arouse his long-hidden resentment in his heart - how am I not as good as him? Is it just because of talent?
These resentments and jealousies were once suppressed by the third prince with reason, but now they were triggered again by the photo.
"... Too much like. Really too much like." (This work is provided by Situ.com) Online reading
He had stared at the photo left by his brother countless times, as if he was talking to the person who was no longer there. Therefore, only he could see the similarity.
Black hair and gray eyes are not special features, many people in the eastern star field of the empire are like this. Wu Heng, who has experienced many years of military career, is completely different from the eldest prince at the age of six, not enough to make people have the slightest association.
But the immature fourteen-year-old Wu Heng looked too similar. He seemed to see the image of "if the eldest prince had not died young and grew up safely" that countless people had been thinking about. This made him feel uneasy from the bottom of his heart.
To this day, the third prince Xiwen still finds it difficult to recall his mentality at that time. He just suddenly came up with an absurd guess, and then he could no longer control it, letting that idea keep surging in his heart.
Things were simple afterwards. For an imperial commander who has fought for many years, it is normal to be injured and bleed. He easily obtained the blood of the commander and secretly compared his genes with his own.
The result was no less than an earthquake for the third prince. No one in the outside world knew about the earthquake that happened in his heart.
From that day on, he overturned his plan to become the heir step by step for many years. Because on his way forward, there appeared a biggest obstacle. The other party changed from the perfect right-hand man in his mind to an object that must be eliminated as soon as possible.
Although the third prince Xiwen did not know why his eldest brother who died young was still alive and well, and why he was wandering outside without anyone knowing, the results of genetic comparison would not lie. Who knows if there was an accident that year, so the emperor used the death of the eldest prince as an excuse to cover it up, but in fact he had never forgotten his most beloved eldest son in secret? This seems to explain his indifference to himself.
Therefore, he must eliminate the good elder brother before the emperor discovers this secret. It is best to find a reasonable excuse to cover up your purpose and conceal the truth as much as possible.
After two years of planning, he succeeded!
He put layers of shells on his plan.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the third prince was just a pure bystander in the matter of Wu Heng. The top few people in the empire may have seen his role as a behind-the-scenes pusher. And when they investigate in depth, they will find that all this actually originated from boring jealousy.
—— This certainly made Xiwen become a love-brain in the eyes of others, and lowered the evaluation of many people on him, but as long as the secret can be covered, everything is worth it. Without the biggest competitor, even if his evaluation is low, he is still far ahead on the road to succession.
In the end, he did succeed. Even the emperor was deceived by his success, thinking that all this was just jealousy, and perhaps he thought that he had exposed his little calculation and gave him a big warning.
Little did he know that Xiwen was laughing in ecstasy in his heart - he successfully fooled everyone, including his father who was once regarded as an insurmountable mountain by him.
When Wu Heng became a disabled person, he knew very well that the other party was no longer a concern. Even if he produced evidence full of loopholes to frame the other party, his father, who put power and interests above all else, would help him complete the ending. Because the already disabled Wu Heng was worthless, at least he would not let the emperor expose his own son for him.
So far, his position as heir has been unshakable.
Even if the secret of the other party's life experience is discovered, a useless person can't become the heir of the empire.
Originally, everything could have ended here, but the resentment, jealousy, and resentment accumulated in his heart for so many years still drove him to kill him. He wanted to make this person who had troubled him for many years disappear from the world completely.
And it was this action that he didn't take to heart, but it caused a series of chain reactions, causing the third prince Xiwen to be in deep trouble.
