Chapter 288 Sothis
It didn't take long for them to clear the battlefield. Except for some fleeing fighters, the camp was emptied by their raid.

Of course, White Whale also joined them after fighting with Edward, dragging its slightly damaged body.

It was unknown what kind of battle the two had fought, and they were both out of breath when they came over.

"That's Sothis. He's not a big threat to us, but he could be very dangerous to you Adjusters."

"I think it should be handed over to the United States of South America."

White Whale looked at the Adjuster Jin En team and reminded them.

"I know, it's okay."

He Kui shrugged and walked to the long sword that was still lying on the ground with the cabin door closed, pretending to be dead.

Although the command not to harm natural persons is engraved in our genes.

Just like humans are naturally afraid of snakes or spiders.

But this should also be considered a problem of cognition.

If you close your eyes, don't look at snakes or spiders, and aren't even aware of their existence, how can you be afraid?

This is just personal genes, not the law of the world.

He Kui opened the hatch of the aircraft very skillfully.

I have to say, this forced switch has not changed since the Strike Gundam generation.

The cockpit door slowly opened with the sound of the hydraulic system of the closed door operating.

"Hello, Sothis."

"Number 20."

Sothis remained calm, showing no sign of panic at being captured.

"Number 20, come out and talk?"

"Ah."

Walking out of the cockpit, Sothis looked around.

Even when he saw the white whale who was supposed to be his teammate standing beside him, he was not surprised.

"Why save me?"

Number 20 asked.

"I just wanted to save him, so I saved him."

"."

Sothis did not respond to his answer, but just remained indifferent.

His dusty face still revealed indifference.

Only when looking at He Kui was there a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

“Are you a natural or an adjuster?”

Sothis's hoarse voice sounded as if it was cut by wind and sand.

"neither."

"Tell me the answer. How can I find the answer?"

"Follow me, of course."

Hearing the other party's confident voice, No. 20 just stared motionlessly at the girl in front of him with a slim figure and a sweet voice.

"I cannot attack natural persons."

"But there's no need for you to attack the Adjuster."

This is only natural, otherwise Sosis would have been in internal strife long ago.

When creating Sothis, the Earth Alliance's manipulation of genes was not so detailed.

It's like a rough procedure, it's either black or white, there is no second possibility.

This is probably one of the reasons why they gave up later.

They hate the Adjusters and their genetic research can only be conducted in private and there is a lot of resistance.

Otherwise, there would be no enhanced humans.

"And your mission is to protect natural persons, so if someone wants to harm the natural persons you protect, then even if they are natural persons, they are still enemies."

Faced with He Kui's buggy logic.

Sothis's brain was a little out of order.

"So if I say that the Atlantic Federation is the murderer who constantly harms natural humans, then even if they are natural humans, they should be your enemy, right?"

After hearing He Kui's theory, Sothis was stunned for a long time before he continued indifferently.

"But I still can't hurt any natural person."

"It's ok."

As long as the Atlantic Federation does not have the means to control them by force, this defect can be tolerated.

After all, this is the fighting power of the red-clothed man.

Although he himself is an elite Red Clothes warrior, there cannot be too many Red Clothes warriors in the entire world.

"But the name 20th is too obvious. How about changing it?"

".Whatever." Seeing that Sothis didn't move and seemed to want him to come up with a name, He Kui looked up and thought about it.

"How is Hercules Sothis?"

"it is good."

Although he had no idea what Hercules was, he nodded anyway, as if it wasn't his new name.

"Then go, Hercules."

He Kui patted Hercules on the shoulder and brought him to Edward and the White Whale.

"Hercules, stay with me for now."

"."

Edward, who knew the inside story, frowned when he heard this. Logically speaking, after capturing Sothis, he should have gone directly to the president for a decision.

He knew that the top leaders had always been curious about Sothis's existence.

But He Kui directly detained the man.

He Kui had no intention of backing down in the face of Edward.

Although he cannot harm natural persons, his enemies are not limited to natural persons.

Moreover, by keeping him by his side and training him, he should be able to obey orders, which can also be regarded as expanding Pallas's influence.

As for the defects of the clones, he will solve them in the future anyway.

Having a replicant would also be helpful for his subsequent research.

As long as Hercules does not betray him, he will naturally reward him.

Next, let’s see if we can logically circumvent the issue of natural persons.

After all, if it is a natural person with an ordinary dagger, it would be fine, but if it is a Jinn or other special machine, it should not be impossible to attack.

But strictly speaking, enhanced humans are also considered natural persons?

But Sothis himself didn't know.

He Kui was full of curiosity about the card bug.

He can deal with small soldiers, but it would be much easier to defeat elite red-clothed opponents with the cooperation of another red-clothed person.

Overall, the risks are low and the benefits are many.

"This person is also my informant."

He Kui lied calmly.

"Since you are an informant..."

When Edward heard this, he thought of He Kui's deeds of locating the location of the enemy camp as soon as he arrived here.

I am half and half convinced and half unconvinced.

If it is true, it is hard to imagine how powerful the power behind this girl is.

This person's water might be a little deeper than he thought.

The other party was originally following A's orders, so there was nothing they could say.

If this is the case, does it mean that A is also a natural person?
But can a natural person have this skill?
No one knew what was going on in Edward's heart, but seeing that Edward had agreed, no one else tried to stop him.

Later, Edward told White Whale why they knew about this base.

He Kui placed Hercules in Edward's army.

"Who is he?"

Elena walked up from behind and grabbed He Kui's arm with a slight frown.

"Adjuster clone."

He Kui explained the origin of Sothis.

"Regulators who cannot attack natural persons."

After hearing about Sothis's life story, the girl showed compassion in her eyes.

"You should actually hate the Adjuster."

He Kui said softly.

As they admire nature, they have good reasons to hate adjusters who are not born naturally.

“But we are all human beings.”

“It would be too strange to say that someone is no longer a human just because their genes have been edited.”

Elena said carelessly.

"It seems so."

He Kui couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"Go back when you're ready."

Looking at the scorching sun above his head, He Kui said.

It was just about time for him to attend the dinner.

"Good~"
