Chapter 176: Gynoid N12 Enters the game

Silver frowned as he looked at Aster as if asking him whether he was serious or just joking to spoil their conversation.

Aster became silent.

Still, Silver replied to clear his doubts, glancing at his young master, who looked like he was thinking of such possibility, "no, it isn't possible either. You were born from C-section when Lady Scarlet was just around 20.

Because of that, Lord Philip took a year of break from our usual activities and spent time with her at the Ravens' Island."

"How about a test tube baby?" As Aster once again voice out his opinion, this time Wil shut him up, "Are you serious?"

"Sorry." Aster closed his lips.

With then, took out his tablet from the backpack.

"At first, I too thought he might be either adopted or Mr. Quilton's son because he doesn't have any features that resemble my mother at first glance but if you look closely, he and Mia have a lot of things in common.

Wil voiced out his opinion as he looked at his sister's picture on the tablet and Rey's picture on tv.

"You might be mistaken, Young Master." Silver immediately ruled out his opinion.

But then, looking at his expression, he justified his statement, "even if it's true, it's quite normal that unrelated people can have a few features in common if they have the same ancestor. It might be a coincidence…"

"What if she isn't my mom but my missing master and they both were her children?" Wil suddenly dropped another question, which was bugging him from the moment he saw her picture in the mail.

"Huh?" Clearly, Silver was taken aback by his question.

"You said they are identical twins, right? My mom and my master, Andrea."

"You mean she might have stolen Lady Scarlet's identity and then, made everyone believe she went missing?" Aster once again voiced out his opinion, despite being warned by Silver, once. "Then, what about lady Scarlet?"

"Maybe, she went missing or in the worst case… Sigh…"

Wil's casual slip up made the atmosphere silent for a while.

After all, it indeed doesn't look good if a son is making theories with his mom dying in it, suspecting the one who was living.

Realizing that they aren't going to comment anything, he continued. 

"Anyway, my father mentioned that, after the attack, my mom started to become crazily. That's where my suspicions begin.

What if Andrea took her place and started to act crazy and went through a divorce."

As Wil spouting some absurd theory, Silver shook his head with a sigh, "You spent a few years, training under Lady Andrea. Do you really believe a crazy person like her would marry a normal man?" 

Wil and Aster nodded together in sync.

"What!" Silver looked at the both of him as if they were alright in their heads.

"A person that often deals with dangers will always yearn for a normal life," Aster commented. 

Wil nodded in agreement while remembering his old self, who ran away from the home just so he could live freely and have a normal life like others.

"I guess both of you really don't know her true self. She was someone, who went against thirty members loaded with guns, all alone with just a dagger in her hand.

One time, she went and fight against five hungry tigers that were captured and not given food for 7 days. Do you know the result? She tore their limbs apart with her bare hands.

Another time, when her target escaped by surrendering himself to the police and got himself locked up in the Peng prison, or should call it, the maximum-security prison, she infiltrated the place and assassinated him.

She's the only one who's so crazy to try to assassinate Phaneul Order's late President in their Head Quarters, ten years ago when the organization accepted an assassination mission. After that incident, they didn't even dare to try it again…

All of her stories are legendary, you know…"

Upon hearing a couple of her crazy adventures, both of them gulped in fear, although for different reasons.

Wil then remembered his torturous training sessions and shuddered for a moment, 'What a great Dad he is… He put my life into the hands of such a crazy woman for four damn years. And she is even my maternal aunt for god's sake… Hmm…'

Right then, something clicked in his mind and he suggested another theory, "What if Rey is Andrea's son, and my mom and her husband adopted him into their family?"

"Huh" "Huh?" Silver and Aster paused for a second before Silver gave a nod, "that will fit with everything. Because they are identical twins, they will also have the identical DNA, well, at least on the surface."

Meanwhile, Aster smiled widely started to praise Wil, "Young Master, you are really a genius. Since your ages are also similar, maybe, Lady Scarlet raised him, thinking she was raising her son, as in you. Who knows under what circumstances…"

*Slam*

The glass table before Wil was slammed and let the empty coffee mug crash on to the floor and cracked a bit.

"Don't…" Wil growled in response, "Don't you dare try to take her side, Aster…"

Getting a sudden mood swing, he abruptly stood up, not intending to continue this conversation, "I need some fresh air. Let's go…"

"Ah! I'm sorry, Young master. I…" Before he finishes his apology, Wil walked away and opened the door to walk outside.

"Watch your mouth, Aster. The next time you do that and upset him, I won't tolerate…" Silver warned Aster as they followed Wil.

Somewhere at an unknown place;

In the Z-Block of the secret research facility, Gynoid N12 stared at a capsule in a daze, "There are such things built like this just to play some video game?"

"It's a Virtual reality Massively Multiplayer Online game, Ms. N12," Neo replied from inside of her.

"I know what it is. Back then, there used to be those VR Headsets. VR Helmets are a topic of futuristic technology. Now, it seemed like it's leaped by several bounds," The Gynoid said in reflex and then got stunned for a second, "Huh! What was I talking about right now?"

"Maybe, you might recover your memory if you get to listen to familiar words or see familiar people. Anyway, the virtual reality you know is vastly different from the current one."

Neo then, explained how virtual reality has been progressed in the past six years. What are its rules, and what their mission is…

According to everyone, she has two missions to accomplish. One is to successfully enter the game without any fingerprint and Retina scans as they were artificial.

They also want to test whether Neo was truly able to hack into the game and fool Aria, which is known to be the smartest and strongest A.I.

Second is to check her knowledge of the ancient arts.

Since the game will provide a perfect body, she can perform all of them without any backlashes. 

She has to record it and sent them to decide how effective they will be. If they deemed it was good, then, she will be assigned as the instructor to the first batch of Battle Androids and Gynoids.

But in reality, both of them have two separate missions since they were never merged.

While Neo trying to fool the system as well as these researchers, The Gynoid needs to familiarize herself with the game while getting back her lost memories in the process, if not all, at least the memories of the long lost fighting styles…

She entered the capsule.

The starting step is the registration, where the system that was connected to the Capsule will run facial recognition, take handprints, retina scans, and finally analyze the DNA sequence to store in the company's database.

Once the registration is over, their consciousness will enter the World of Virtual reality. 

This is where Neo's job starts.

She immediately started working the moment the registration is started.

After a while, Neo cheered like a kid, "Yay, success."

"Welcome to War Online. Would you like to watch the introduction?" An Angel descended from the above before her.

"Ah! Okay, now what…" The Lady from behind the times got confused for a second and tried to contact Neo but strangely, she failed to do so.

Having no other choice, she said Yes and watched the introduction of the game.

Meanwhile, the little girl Neo found herself, right into the game without going through any introduction or class or race selection or anything like that. "Eh?"

At the same time, somewhere outside of the Demon/Aynor Continent, Aria was fixing the wall that was momentarily destroyed because of Deep Sea Whale King that was passing by.

Since it wasn't the work of an adventurer, she had no choice but to fix it.

"Hmm?" She then, turned her head towards a certain direction, and frowned, "an unauthorized clone?"
