The Debtor System: Starting with a debt of 1 billion

Chapter 25 Twin Code

The torrential rain continued to relentlessly pound the border, and the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder and blood.

Lin Yu knelt in the mud, frantically rummaging through the pile of mangled remains. The sudden self-destruction had blasted the boy with the triangular birthmark on his neck to smithereens.

"Mr. Lin, please stop looking..." Ah Cha clutched her injured arm, her voice trembling, "He's already..."

"No, he left something behind." Lin Yu suddenly stopped what he was doing.

Amidst a pile of charred cloth and flesh, a glint of eerie blue metallic luster stung his eyes. It was a chip warped from the intense heat, embedded in a waterproof bag the boy carried with him.

This is the only non-biological part on the "experimental subject".

Lin Yu carefully removed the chip, as if holding a priceless treasure. He stood up, his eyes filled with unprecedented solemnity: "Retreat. Return to base immediately."

……

Yangon, a secret safe house.

After treating her wounds, Acha immediately connected to the supercomputer. The chip removed from B-02 was then connected to the data port.

"This chip has an extremely high level of encryption and a self-destruct mechanism." Cold sweat beaded on Acha's forehead. "If it is forcibly cracked, it will instantly destroy the internal data."

"Use 'Emperor's Eye' for assistance." Lin Yu sat in front of the computer, his right pupil instantly contracting, transforming into a vortex of data flow. "System, inject computing power and search for vulnerabilities in the encryption logic."

[Injecting...]

A firewall vulnerability has been discovered.

[Bypassing the self-destruct mechanism...]

The progress bar on the screen jumped wildly, and finally, a crisp notification sound rang out.

"Crack successful!"

The folder was opened, containing only a single video file, created ten years ago.

Lin Yu took a deep breath and clicked on the video.

The footage is shaky, clearly taken secretly. The background is a futuristic, sterile laboratory, surrounded by huge glass culture chambers containing various biological tissues.

The camera finally focused on a huge incubator.

Inside the incubator, there were two children who looked only two or three years old.

One male and one female.

The girl huddled in the corner, shivering, a picture of simplicity and elegance from her childhood.

The boy stood in front of her, arms outstretched, protecting her like a little adult. The triangular birthmark on the back of his neck was clearly visible.

There is a line of small print below the video:

Experimental subject files: B-02 (male) and S-01 (female).

Genetic type: dizygotic twins (cloned improved version).

Compatibility: 99.9%.

Note: B-02 shows a strong protective instinct towards S-01, and it is recommended to focus on training it as a 'Guardian'.

"Twins..." Lin Yu's fingers gently stroked the screen, his heart feeling as if it were being tightly gripped by an invisible hand. "Suya... you actually have an older brother."

The video continues playing.

The laboratory door was suddenly pushed open, and several people in white coats walked in. They were holding syringes and wearing indifferent smiles.

"Today is the day of 'Awakening'," the leader said. "Let's start with S-01."

Young Suya was terrified and cried, trying to back away, but B-02 held her tightly behind her. The boy was also scared, but he gritted his teeth and refused to give in.

"Pull him away too," the doctor in the white coat commanded coldly.

Two bodyguards stepped forward and roughly dragged B-02 away. The boy struggled desperately, crying out, "Don't hurt my sister!"

Just then, the laboratory alarm suddenly went off.

"Fire!"

The screen began to shake violently, thick smoke billowing out. It was the night of the orphanage fire.

The final scene of the video shows B-02 breaking free from his restraints amidst the chaos, rushing into the inferno, and pushing Suya into a ventilation shaft. He himself is then crushed by a collapsing beam and engulfed in flames.

"No--!"

The video abruptly ended.

Lin Yu slammed his laptop shut, panting heavily. His back was soaked with cold sweat.

So this is the truth of what happened back then.

Suya didn't escape by luck; she was pushed out by her own brother at the cost of his life.

"Mr. Lin..." Ah Cha looked at Lin Yu's pained expression and dared not ask any more questions.

"Ah Cha," Lin Yu raised his head, his eyes filled with unprecedented resolve, "Contact General Aung San immediately. I need to access all the files from that fire, especially the ones concerning the identification of the bodies."

"You suspect... B-02 isn't dead?"

"He's not dead." Lin Yu clenched his fist, his knuckles turning white. "If he were dead, there wouldn't be that ghost train today. That 'doctor' saved him and transformed him into the 'killing machine' he is now. But subconsciously, he still remembers Suya as his sister."

Lin Yu stood up and walked to the window.

Outside the window, the rain had stopped, and a sliver of light appeared on the horizon.

"Suya always thought she was an abandoned orphan, that she was the only 'monster' in the world," Lin Yu murmured to himself. "But now I know, she isn't. She has family, she has a brother who is connected to her by blood."

"But..." Acha hesitated for a moment, "That B-02 has been brainwashed, he is now our enemy."

"No, he wasn't the enemy." Lin Yu turned around, his gaze sharp. "He was a victim, Suya's protector. The words he uttered before the explosion today—'The younger brother will protect the older sister'—were his last moment of clarity."

"I'm going to save him."

Lin Yu walked to the table and picked up the chip he had taken from B-02.

The chip still retained the boy's body heat.

"The 'Phoenix' organization thought they could create monsters and control people's minds," Lin Yu sneered. "But they underestimated the power of blood ties. They underestimated the 99.9% genetic compatibility between these twins."

"Acha, get ready."

"Where are we going?"

"Go to that lab." A cold glint flashed in Lin Yu's eyes. "Since B-02 came from there, let's follow the clues he left behind, storm his lair, and bring Suya's brother back safe and sound!"

At this time, the eastern sky was already turning a pale white.

A new day has begun, but the real hunt has only just begun.
