Alex did not believe that Natalia, whose consciousness had been transferred, was her true self; on the contrary, she believed that it was merely a fake copy of herself, because it was unrealistic by comparison.
Even if Natalia truly awakened her personality later, she would still be a flawed copy, not perfect, just like a clone replacing her in her subsequent life… Therefore, Alex could not accept it.
However, the monstrous Alex never expected that waiting for her outside would be helicopter support.
And this support, naturally, was Claire, who arrived later.
After Claire woke up and learned that Barry had returned to the island alone to find Moira, Claire immediately piloted a helicopter to provide support—
Subsequently, Barry, Moira, and Natalia, who had escaped to the shore, were relentlessly pursued by the monstrous Alex.
She had become even larger and more terrifying.
Barry planned to have Moira take the little girl Natalia and leave first, while he stayed behind to deal with Alex.
But fortunately, Claire's helicopter support arrived in time, taking Barry, Moira, and Natalia onto the helicopter.
Then, to put an end to the troublesome witch Alex, Moira, who was on the helicopter, took out the Resident Evil series' ultimate weapon, the rocket launcher, and with one shot, directly blew up the monstrous Alex on the ground…
Finally, the matter settled.
Claire, Barry, Moira, and Natalia, piloting the helicopter, achieved a happy ending.
After returning to the United States, Barry chose to retire.
He was getting old and intended to stay home to spend time with his daughters, Moira and Polly.
At the same time, the orphaned little girl Natalia was also taken in.
However, Natalia's consciousness had been transferred by Alex; her personality was imprinted in the little girl Natalia's mind.
As time passed and she grew, the personality memories stored in Natalia's mind would naturally awaken.
And at the very end of the story, Natalia was holding a book and studying it, inexplicably saying, "A birdcage is looking for a bird, but the bird is gone, the bird has changed…"
This is a hidden plot point exclusive to Capcom; it can be confirmed that Alex's experiment was successful.
Although her consciousness did not completely occupy Natalia's personality, it was indirectly influencing Natalia's personality development.
In the future, the grown-up Natalia will gradually become more and more like Alex Wesker, and even possess some of Alex Wesker's memories—!
And it must be said that everyone in the Umbrella Corporation is a talent; Alex Wesker actually thought of consciousness transfer.
In a sense, this is indeed the most scientific method.
Because in the 21st century, people are already installing chips in their brains, and a cyberpunk world truly might arrive.
Compared to the uncertainty of viruses, manipulating memory transfer is undoubtedly the simplest thing, because this technology already has very proficient operational methods.
Viruses are very difficult to control, but memories can be.
Human brain memories can be converted into data and stored, just like a slideshow movie, saved as a disc.
And if this stored disc can be installed into another person's head and occupy their body, then the door to pseudo-immortality is opened.
Even if this method of immortality has flaws, it is still one of the rare ways to achieve immortality.
After all, it did allow Alex Wesker to complete the first step of her immortality; her life was extended.
As long as she repeatedly performs consciousness transfers in the future, Alex Wesker will be in a state of immortality.
The most typical example is Orochimaru in a certain Naruto world, who relies on the power of the cursed seal as a medium.
Orochimaru can infinitely revive on any experimental subject with a cursed seal, and it even comes with memories.
Another example is Saburo Arasaka in Cyberpunk, who used consciousness transfer to his son Yorinobu Arasaka, achieving the effect of a memory personality taking over the nest…
Of course, why is it called pseudo-immortality here—?
Because the method of personality memory transfer is unstable; a host can have two personalities.
The personalities will directly fight each other until only one remains, and while two personalities coexisting is not impossible, it is very difficult…
For example, V and Johnny Silverhand in Cyberpunk, although initially the two personalities coexisted peacefully, in the end, one still had to die, either V or Johnny Silverhand.
So the risk is still very high, unless one's own personality can 100% occupy the experimental subject's body.
And the second point is the most important one, and also a paradoxical problem that science cannot explain, which is… is the "you" whose consciousness memory data has been transferred truly "you"?
This is a paradox…
Because you also cannot explain this problem, and there is no correct answer to this problem.
People in a good mood will believe that the self whose memory has been transferred is still their true self, and thus believe they have achieved immortality.
People in a bad mood, however, will believe that a simple memory transfer is not truly themselves at all, but merely a copy.
It's like changing phones.
New phone and old phone: you perfectly and flawlessly transfer all the data from the old phone to the new phone.
Then do you think…?
Is this phone still the original phone?
To say it is, but its appearance and feel have changed, and even the internal hardware has been upgraded.
Subjectively speaking, it is not the original phone.
But to say it isn't, yet the data inside is exactly the same as the data in the old phone, not a bit different.
Aside from the differences in hardware and external appearance/feel, even the arrangement of applications and wallpaper inside are identical.
Therefore, you cannot deny or affirm whether it still belongs to the original phone.
This is the paradox…
Because of the existence of this problem, even if Alex Wesker's consciousness transfer immortality method truly succeeded, it would still be pseudo-immortality, because it has its own negativity.
It is not as decisive and direct as physical eternal existence.
Even now, it seems that flesh is weak, and mechanical ascension is still not a first-tier choice.
It is only a second-rate option, only accepted when there is truly no other way.
After all, you cannot guarantee whether the self after memory transfer is the continuation of a new life, or just another superposition of cold data memories—!
However, no matter what, only the old man Spencer is the stupidest; he spent his entire life unable to find a way to achieve immortality.
His mentor, Mother Miranda, is still long-lived to this day, living longer than the rich Spencer.
If Spencer had chosen the Mold instead of the virus from the beginning, perhaps he would have had a greater chance of touching the threshold of immortality.
It's just a pity that there is no chance now, because he is about to die…
…
Two months later, the beachfront villa that the female Vampire elder Amelia arranged for Javier was successfully completed, and Javier also carried out a large-scale relocation.
He moved all the experimental materials to the quieter beachfront villa, just like Iron Man Stark's beachfront villa.
At the same time, even the trophy Alexia, the caged bird, was moved there.
Given Alexia's good behavior, Javier granted Alexia a rare opportunity for free movement; as long as she did not run outside the villa, Alexia could move freely.
The reason Javier gave Alexia such great authority was mainly because the current virus research progress was getting slower and slower, and Javier intended to have the genius aunt Alexia also help Lisa.
Of course, more than that, Javier trusted Lisa's control ability, believing she could keep the restless queen Alexia from causing trouble.
And indeed, that was the case.
Alexia, having gained freedom of movement, did not cause trouble.
But when Javier constantly saw the shameless slut Alexia, like a lesbian, seducing Lisa, Javier found it very eye-opening.
Sure enough… the evolved superhuman beings are very different; their sexual orientations are very broad.
As expected of you, yuri master, same-sex is the purest, right!
"Beep beep beep…"
"Beep beep beep…"
"Beep beep beep…"
Just as Javier was in the villa considering whether to drive out for a spin to clear his mind, the phone in the villa rang, which was rare.
This was Javier's exclusive number.
And Javier rarely gave his contact information to others, unless the person was very important.
Therefore, Javier was very curious about who was calling him.
"Hello…?"
"Hello?"
"Annyeonghaseyo?"
"Moshi moshi?"
"Sawadee ka?"
"Speak quickly if you have something to say, or I'll hang up…"
Since he didn't know who was calling and Javier was bored, he rattled off various common international greetings at once, which directly caused the person on the other end of the phone to fall into deep silence, because the caller also didn't expect to be treated this way.
"…"
"I don't think you really want to hear my voice, Javier—?"
A magnetic female voice came from the phone, undoubtedly of the elegant, mature woman type.
Javier immediately recognized who this old acquaintance was, and recalling his rude attitude just now, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly apologized and tried to appease her:
"Wait, don't hang up, let me guess who you are first!"
"Such a magnetic female voice must belong to Miss Ada Wong, whose beauty can make fish sink and wild geese fall, whose beauty can overshadow the country's flowers, whose face is like a flower and moon, who can overthrow cities and states, with crescent eyebrows and starry eyes, bright eyes and white teeth, icy skin and jade bones, skin like congealed fat, with beautiful hair like clouds and mist, intelligent as ice and snow, graceful and intelligent, with a keen mind, a heroine among men,"
"Heroic and valiant, charming and graceful, full of charm, and with an extremely magnanimous temperament, always the type to overlook minor offenses.
How have you been recently, my dear? It's been many days since we last met, and I miss you very much…"
Knowing that the caller was Ada, Javier's expression quickly changed.
He immediately showered her with Chinese idioms of praise, trying to salvage Ada's angry mood.
Although these cheesy pick-up lines were awkward, they were quite effective.
At least they made a large part of Ada's anger dissipate, as she was a mysterious Eastern and Dragon descendant hybrid and understood the meaning of these words.
This was a unique Chinese romantic expression, and because it was unique, Ada was very receptive to it…
"Pah!"
"Who's your 'dear'? And my temper has never been that of a magnanimous lady, but rather a vindictive femme fatale.
Save those words for other women! Indeed, a man's words are always the words of a deceptive devil."
"Transfer me 250,000 US dollars, and I'll tell you a piece of news: the whereabouts of the current Umbrella Corporation CEO, Oswell Edward Spencer.
That old man is about to die.
His virus research is nearing its end, and everyone has betrayed him.
After the old man is about to die, he finally decided to spread his news.
At that time, Wesker will likely be attracted too.
I know you're interested in Wesker, Javier, so I'm asking if you want to get involved?"
"The location is in the UK.
After the Umbrella Corporation collapsed and everyone betrayed him, Spencer used the little money he had left to return to his old home in the UK, in a small town on a hillside in Scotland.
He continued his virus research in his Mansion, but it's clearly a lost cause.
I'll send you the detailed address later.
Whether you want to join the fun is up to your decision, but be careful not to die—!"
Ada, on the phone, scoffed.
Although she tsundere-ly rejected Javier's praise, she was clearly quite pleased internally.
Soon, Ada stated the purpose of her sudden contact with Javier: she had found the hidden location of Spencer, the Umbrella Corporation boss.
Javier had previously asked her to help investigate some virus-related matters, and Ada had found no useful information after searching for a long time.
It was only recently that she found Spencer's specific hidden location, which is why she decided to ask Javier if he was interested…
Not long after, Javier received the address sent by Ada in his email, which was roughly in a remote small town in the mountains of the Scotland region of the UK.
