Chapter 19 Juzi Chapter Ten

At around six o'clock in the evening, the Boeing passenger plane I was on took off from Haneda Airport. If everything goes well, it will arrive at New Chitose Airport in an hour and a half.If Mr. Feng has passed the message to me, then I will meet Miss Kobayashi Futaba there. Miss Futaba, my other avatar.I don't know why she exists, just like I don't know why I exist. There was nothing but clouds outside the window, and I stared back at my hands, trying to bend one by one from my thumb, completely normal I am a normal human being, I can think, I can be moved by the content of the book.

But I am not unique in this world, because I am a copy of Akiko Takashiro, how valuable is a human being like me?Counterfeit LVs will be sold cheaply, copies of precious documents can be destroyed at will, counterfeit banknotes cannot be circulated in the market like real banknotes, and my existence may be as worthless as these things.If I really want to say what value I have, at most it is a precious experimental result, and Miss Shimojo will treat me so well because I have such value. The woman I once called my mother was nothing more than a doppelgänger, at least that's how my father saw her, and in the same way my father may have seen me as just a copy of the woman I loved in the past, to him I The value is only so far.

I can't deny that I hated my father more and more. He used my mother's body and played with other people's lives for his own selfish desires. What a sin. But what if the father hadn't committed the crime?When I think of this, my head is in turmoil, because it means that I will not exist in this world.Would it be better if I didn't exist?I was so annoyed that I almost shed tears.Indeed, it’s not that I never thought that instead of living in such pain, it’s better not to be born from the beginning, but I also denied this idea. Although the memories of the past are small and insignificant to others, they are the most important to me. Treasure to cherish.

I try to lighten it up by telling myself that being someone else's double isn't really that big of a deal, just like a mother and daughter or sister or twin who look alike.But no matter how much I try to beautify my situation, the truth is two different things.Mothers, daughters, sisters or twins who look alike all came to this world with their own purpose of existence, but their appearance happened to be another person's "double", but the purpose of my existence from the beginning was to be someone else's "double" . I also try to think about it purely in biological terms.Even if the genes and every single cell are the same, it does not mean that the personality will be the same. In fact, the life I have lived is very different from the life of the "original version" of "Akiko Takashiro", and we may continue to do so in the future. Different ways to live different lives.

But I still can't teach myself not to care about the purpose of being born. I was born as a "separate body", loved by my father because of my "separate body", and lost my mother because of my "separate body". To become another person other than the "double" may be just a dream. After thinking for a long time, I came to the conclusion that I should not exist in this world at all.Although the world is big, there is no place for me. I tried to put it into words: "There is no place for me..." "Huh?" The office worker sitting next to me glanced at me, then turned back to continue reading his newspaper.

I shouldn't exist. Thinking about it this way, I suddenly felt the pleasure of pressing down on the painful molars, and for some reason, my heart felt a little more relaxed. At 7:37, the plane arrived at New Chitose Airport, and I walked towards the exit with my luggage. My heart was full of wonderful emotions.What expression should I show when I see Miss Kobayashi Futaba?What should I say? I was terrified, but I really wanted to see her, and I felt nostalgic as if I was about to reunite with my childhood playmate; but I didn't feel this way at all about Takashi Akiko. Walking on the exit passage, my heart beat faster and faster, the faces of the pick-up people came into my eyes, I held my breath and looked around, maybe one of these faces was exactly the same as mine.

But that avatar didn't seem to be among the group of people. I was relieved but also a little disappointed. On the one hand, I thought it would be better to meet the people who would meet sooner or later, and on the other hand, I felt timid. After exiting the exit, you will come to a horizontal long and narrow hall. On the right hand side stands a life-sized human-shaped standing sign. Next to it is the smoking area. On the other side is the gift shop, and on the other side is the group passenger counter. Rows of benches in the non-smoking area, that's where we meet. I sat down on the chair in the front row and looked around the hall again. My heartbeat was still fast. I took out my favorite novel "Annie the Red Hair" library from my backpack. No matter how big or small I travel, I will definitely bring this book in my backpack I can't count how many times I have spent it.

But today I couldn't calm down to read at all, so I put it back in my backpack and decided to take out the domestic lemons I bought when I left Tokyo. They looked delicious, and I bought two. I was only about to take out one, but the other fell out of the pack and rolled to the ground. "Ah..." I hurriedly stood up, my eyes still chasing the lemons on the ground. At this moment, a figure appeared in front of him. The first thing that caught my eye was black leather shoes and dark blue suit pants with clear creases. I looked up in surprise, and a short man with broad shoulders was looking down at me.The man was about forty-five years old, wearing light brown glasses, and a smile on his thin lips.

"Are you Miss Juzi from the Shi family?" he said. "Yes, are you...?" "I'm your father's friend, and I came here to pick you up." "My father?" The man stretched out his right thumb and pointed behind him. There were two men standing at the airport entrance and exit. One was a tall man I had never seen before, and the other was my father.My father looked straight at me as if he wanted to say something to me, but when I met his eyes, he just looked away helplessly. "Dad..." I stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say. "Please come with us, we have something very important to tell you." He emphasized the word "important", and then picked up my travel bag without waiting for my answer.

"Wait a minute, what the hell is going on?" "Let's talk about this later, there is no time." He said and moved his hands behind my back. "Let me talk to my father first, please." "You'll have plenty of time to talk later." "Wait a minute... I have an appointment with someone to meet here." "Don't worry." He pushed me on the back, "We will contact Miss Kobayashi Futaba." I was taken aback and turned to look at him, why did he know that I was going to meet Miss Kobayashi Futaba?Also, why does he know that I will go back to Sapporo today?

The man pushed me to the side of my father, who lowered his head with his brows furrowed. "Dad, what is this..." I was only halfway through my speech when the little man said, "I'll talk about it later." The other young man led his father towards the exit, and the little man and I followed behind. After leaving the airport, there were two cars parked by the side of the road. My father and the others sat in the front one, and the little man asked me to sit in the back one. "Please let me ride with my father." I said to the little man. "It'll be here soon, bear with me." He said as he pushed me into the car. The driver on standby in the driver's seat was a stocky man who appeared to be wearing citrus-scented cosmetics, which smelt pungent. Immediately after leaving the airport, the car got on the expressway. This is the Daoyang Expressway. I knew the car was going north. "Where are we going? Sapporo?" I asked the little man beside me. "No, we have to go a little further. Anyway, you will know when you get there. It's a good place, but it's a pity that you can't see the scenery at night." He said with a faint smile. "You said you have something important to tell me? Please tell me quickly." "Don't worry, there is always an order of things." He turned slightly to me, leaned back on the chair and raised his legs, "The important thing is actually to ask you to save someone." I didn't answer, I just stared at the man, I didn't expect him to say the word "save people", I couldn't think for a while. "Someone is seriously ill." The weird smile on the man's face disappeared, replaced by an extremely serious expression, "If left alone, he will not last long. Of course he has been receiving treatment, but these treatments He is just a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and if he wants to completely cure his disease, he must overcome a very difficult hurdle." "What does this have to do with me?" "To overcome this difficult level, we must get your help. To be clear, we need your body. Because your body has a certain speciality, as long as you use this speciality, you can cure that person's disease." "Specific..." "We have reached a consensus with Teacher Shijia. I think you should understand this when you see Teacher Shijia appearing with us at the airport. Don't worry, the matter we ask you to help is very simple. You just need to lie down on the hospital bed Two or three days is enough, you can relax, and we are fully prepared to ensure that you will not be unhappy in the slightest." The short man's voice was clear and loud, and he spoke without hindrance, although I don't know what his occupation is, but he seems to be very good at negotiating with people. Even with a younger generation like me, he still uses honorifics politely, but this makes me more vigilant. "Who is that seriously ill man?" I asked. The man raised his face and shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, but I can't disclose this at the moment. I can only tell you that this person is very important to Japan. If this person dies now, the whole of Japan will lose its direction. That's it. An important person, and the only one who can save him is you." I could hear his words clearly, but there was no sense of reality, and my mind went blank. "Can I ask a question?" His face darkened slightly, as if he had a premonition that I would ask a difficult question. "What kind of question? As long as it is not related to that person, I will answer you as much as possible." "There should be no direct relationship with that person, I just want to confirm." "Confirm what?" "You just said that my body is special..." I looked at him, trying to adjust my disordered breathing but couldn't, so I could only continue in a trembling voice: "Your so-called specialness and I am a replicant Is it relevant?" In an instant, the man's face changed drastically. He looked the same on the outside, but it was as if an invisible mask had been ripped off from him, and the face under the mask was so cold that one couldn't help trembling. "Since you know even this, I don't have to beat around the bush." ​​There was a cold light in his eyes.
