062 I Have a Story, Do You Have Some Wine?
Just like in the Terminator world, Marcus's identity was exposed once again!
Back in the Terminator world, his cover had already been blown.
Reversing causality through Destiny points wasn't foolproof—or rather, the number of Destiny points Marcus had invested wasn't enough to guarantee a seamless integration.
In the Resident Evil world, Marcus had used 50 Destiny points to reverse causality, which initially worked very well, but who knew that Alicia possessed a bio-computer and AI system within her body?
Faced with Alicia's question, Marcus didn't answer immediately. He called out, "Red Queen, can you hear me?"
Alicia responded on Red Queen's behalf, "Red Queen has already shut down all surveillance and monitoring devices in this room. Even Dr. Isaacs can't command her to restart them."
Alicia added, "Dr. Isaacs and I both have the highest level of authority. When my orders don't conflict with Dr. Isaacs's interests, Dr. Isaacs cannot override my commands, and the same applies vice versa."
"Therefore, Mr. Foster, you don't need to worry about our conversation being recorded by Red Queen." Alicia looked at Marcus, waiting for his response.
Marcus laughed. "I'm curious—why aren't you worried that I'll harm you?"
Alicia said sincerely, "There are two reasons."
"First, if you wanted to harm me, you wouldn't have needed to inject me with the modified T-virus. I believe you have access to my medical files; you know about my progeria. My life was already nearing its end." Alicia analyzed calmly.
Although Alicia had regained the youthful appearance of someone in her twenties, she remained remarkably composed.
"As for the second reason, this is Umbrella Corporation's primary shelter. The Umbrella Corporation's board members, senior executives, and related personnel are all in cryo-sleep here. Do you think there are no security measures in place?" Alicia said calmly.
"Red Queen doesn't actively monitor this shelter's interior, but she closely monitors the situation at the shelter's entrance. If you leave before I do, Red Queen will investigate this room. You simply won't be able to leave the facility." Alicia revealed all the information to demonstrate her sincerity.
Marcus sighed. "If... I mean, hypothetically... if I told you I'm from a parallel universe, would you believe me?"
"What?" Alicia looked at Marcus hesitantly.
"Alicia, take a few steps back. I'm going to cut through the cryo-chamber now." Marcus suddenly changed the subject. As he spoke, his right hand transformed into a silver-white blade.
That was the Terminator T-1000's morphing capability.
Alicia stared in astonishment at the blade formed from Marcus's right arm, then watched him walk to the cryo-chamber and slice off a corner of it.
Marcus didn't stop. He continued cutting through the cryo-chamber, and within moments, it shattered into pieces.
"Let me clarify upfront—I'm still a normal human, just with my body covered by a layer of liquid metal material." Marcus explained to the astonished Alicia.
Marcus raised his right hand, the silver-white liquid metal constantly shifting shape, even altering Marcus's facial features.
"Alicia, can you bring Red Queen back online?" Marcus asked.
"Sure." Alicia nodded, then walked to the control panel and pressed the button.
Red Queen's voice returned, "Hello, Alicia, what happened? Why is the cryo-chamber completely destroyed?"
Alicia looked at Marcus.
Marcus continued, "Red Queen, does this room have advanced scanning equipment?"
"Yes, Mr. Foster. To ensure Alicia's safety, this shelter is equipped with various detection systems," Red Queen replied truthfully.
"Scan my condition," Marcus instructed.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Foster, I cannot scan your condition. Your body is covered with a layer of liquid metal that the detection equipment cannot penetrate," Red Queen responded.
Marcus looked at Alicia. "Red Queen, I'm going to remove the liquid metal covering my face now. First, scan my face to verify there's no remaining liquid metal coverage, then scan my facial features and search for my information in global population databases."
"Acknowledged, Mr. Foster," Red Queen agreed.
Following Marcus's instructions, the Terminator T-1000 material dispersed from his face.
In reality, the liquid metal covering Marcus's face was less than a millimeter thick.
"Scan complete, Mr. Foster. There is no liquid metal on your face. Activating facial recognition system to search global population databases for your identity," Red Queen responded.
Marcus continued, "Regarding the identity information of Jake Jensen and his team, you probably haven't found anything, right?"
"Correct," Red Queen replied. "I cannot locate any records for them."
"Send Alicia the information about their departure from the Hive, and detail all their anomalies," Marcus explained.
"Processing," Red Queen responded.
While Red Queen explained everything to Alicia, Marcus controlled the Terminator T-1000 material to construct a silver-white ergonomic chair. He sat comfortably on it, waiting for Red Queen to complete her briefing.
It took nearly fifteen minutes for Red Queen to finish explaining everything.
Marcus looked at the contemplative Alicia and asked, "Red Queen, did you find me in the global population databases?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Foster, I did not find any matches," Red Queen replied.
"Did you tell Alicia about my situation, including how I, like Jake Jensen, could mysteriously leave and mysteriously enter the Hive?" Marcus pressed.
"Yes, Mr. Foster, I informed Alicia of everything," Red Queen stated truthfully. Alicia's authority was higher than Marcus's, and Red Queen couldn't withhold anything.
Alicia looked at Marcus with complicated emotions. She had initially thought Marcus was a sleeper agent planted by Dr. Isaacs.
After all, only Dr. Isaacs could grant Marcus authorization up to Level 7, including access to the Memory Implantation Project and the Emotion Programming Project.
But now it seemed she was wrong.
"Red Queen, does our company possess any technology related to liquid metal robotics?" Marcus asked.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Foster, I haven't found any relevant research or data in the database. Would you like me to create a new project file?" Red Queen countered.
Marcus ignored Red Queen and let out a long sigh. "Alicia, would you like to hear my story?"
