A youthful ten-year promise

Chapter 513 Yi Chen's "clone" becomes a "certifier"?

Lin Youran's life has been filled with surprises and confusion lately. Since returning from the expedition to the "Island of Oblivion," her relationship with Shen Yichen has become even stronger. As if they had survived a life-or-death ordeal, they have developed a deeper dependence and trust in each other. However, fate does not seem to intend for them to live peacefully any longer.

It was an ordinary weekend afternoon. Lin Youran was organizing the books she had just borrowed from the library when the doorbell rang. She got up to open the door, only to find someone standing there who shocked her—Shen Yichen.

But Lin Youran quickly realized that this Shen Yichen was not the one she knew. His eyes lacked that familiar gentleness, replaced by coldness and aloofness. What made Lin Youran even more uneasy was that he claimed to be a "clone" of Shen Yichen.

"I am Shen Yichen's clone, number 007," he said coldly, his voice somewhat similar to Shen Yichen's, yet completely different.

Lin Youran's mind went blank; she couldn't believe what she was seeing. A clone? How could this be? She tried to remain calm, but the panic in her heart was impossible to hide.

"You...you say you're Yichen's clone? How is that possible?" Lin Youran's voice trembled as she tried to find a shred of reason to deal with this sudden turn of events.

The clone, Shen Yichen, seemed unconcerned by her reaction and continued, "I was created by a secret research institution to study the replication and transfer of human emotions and memories. They successfully replicated my body, but they couldn't replicate my emotions and memories. So, I was sent to find you, hoping you can help me."

Lin Youran felt dizzy; she couldn't understand why all this was happening to her. But she knew she couldn't let herself be defeated like this. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

"What do you need my help with?" Lin Youran asked, her voice weak but firm.

The clone Shen Yichen looked at Lin Youran, a barely perceptible tenderness flashing in his eyes. "I need you to help me find that research institution. I want to know the meaning of my existence, and I also want to find my own emotions and memories."

Lin Youran nodded. Although she was wary of this clone, Shen Yichen, she knew he was also an innocent victim. She decided to help him uncover the secrets behind it all.

However, this was no easy task. Lin Youran began to inquire everywhere, searching for clues about the research institution. Using her wisdom and courage, she gradually approached the truth. But each step forward was accompanied by enormous risks and unknown dangers.

In this process, Lin Youran discovers that she has become an "authenticator." She needs to discern the subtle differences between the clone Shen Yichen and the real Shen Yichen to ensure she is not deceived. At the same time, she must also learn how to get along with the clone and how to keep her rationality and emotions from being influenced by him.

Lin Youran began researching cloning technology, trying to find a way to distinguish clones from real people. She discovered that although clones' bodies were identical to real people, their eyes, temperament, and behavior often revealed a mechanical and cold nature. The real Shen Yichen, on the other hand, always had eyes full of warmth and tenderness.

As the investigation deepened, Lin Youran gradually uncovered the true nature of the research institution. They used cloning technology to replicate human bodies, attempting to control and manipulate human emotions and memories through the study of these clones. This was an extremely dangerous and unethical experiment that severely violated human dignity and rights.

Lin Youran felt anger and grief. She couldn't imagine that someone would do such a cruel thing for personal gain. She decided to expose this secret and let more people know the truth.

With the help of the clone Shen Yichen, Lin Youran successfully located the research institution. They devised a meticulous plan to destroy this evil laboratory in one fell swoop.

During the operation, Lin Youran demonstrated her courage and wisdom. She skillfully avoided the enemy's numerous traps and mechanisms, and together with the clone Shen Yichen, they rushed into the core area of ​​the laboratory. There, they saw countless imprisoned clones, controlled like machines, deprived of their own consciousness and freedom.

Lin Youran felt heartbroken. She couldn't imagine that these innocent lives could be treated so cruelly. She decided to save them and give them their freedom.

In the fierce battle against the enemy, Lin Youran and her clone Shen Yichen fought side by side. Utilizing their respective strengths and advantages, they successfully defeated the enemy and destroyed the laboratory. At that moment, Lin Youran felt an unprecedented sense of victory and satisfaction.

However, after the battle, the clone Shen Yichen suddenly disappeared. He left a letter for Lin Youran, which read: "Thank you for helping me find my meaning in life. Now, I'm going to find my own life. May we all find our own happiness."

Lin Youran looked at the letter in her hand, her heart filled with emotion and reluctance. She knew that although this clone, Shen Yichen, was just a replica, he also had his own feelings and consciousness. He longed for freedom and happiness, just like everyone else.

Lin Youran decided to let go of this experience and return to a normal life. She reunited with the real Shen Yichen and spent many wonderful times together. They traveled together, went on adventures together, and faced life's challenges and difficulties together. Their love became even stronger and deeper after this ordeal.

However, Lin Youran always harbored a small regret. She wanted to know where the clone Shen Yichen was now? Had he found his own happiness? Whenever the night was quiet, she would silently pray for and bless him.

Time flowed by like water, and Lin Youran and Shen Yichen's lives gradually returned to peace. They spent many unforgettable moments together, creating many beautiful memories. They knew that no matter what difficulties and challenges they might encounter in the future, as long as they stood hand in hand and forged ahead bravely, they would surely overcome all obstacles and find their own happiness.
