Chapter 344
"Long time no see," I said, smiling at him.
"Let’s go to the usual place," the experimental subject said. He was testing me to see if I knew where the usual place was.
"Oh right, I have my own name now. My name is Nova," Nova Wright said meaningfully as he looked out the window.
It seemed like someone had given him that name.
Nova-a new beginning or a bright future.
He must have been dreaming of a future when he was just a numbered experimental subject in the laboratory.
I drove to a place the orphanage that was relocated after the fire, the same Double Stars Welfare Home where two geniuses once appeared.
"As expected, you really are Sophia." Nova smiled at me as he leaned against the door and lit a cigarette. "It seems like you’ve adapted well to the outside life. ’I was rather surprised to find that he had even learned to smoke.
"I learned a lot after escaping. I discovered that humans can live as equals and that they have rights and legal protection. They’re not like us, who were confined in lab capsules since birth and numbered like animals. We were subjected to endless inhumane experiments." Nova’s voice was hoarse.
He flicked the ash from his cigarette and looked at me. "Genome Society has already suffered severe damage according to Professor Beatrice’s plan. With many of their laboratories exposed, the Huma Genome Society’s underground network will soon be uprooted completely."
The "Professor Beatrice" Nova was referring to was my-Sophia Milford’s mother, Beatrice Lynne.
