Even so, John Doe still noticed some of Cell's features, just like in the original story from his previous life. Unlike the later androids, this Cell was a completely genetically modified organism.
There were all kinds of genetic maps and Cell's form on the blueprints.
"Well, Mr. John Doe, what do you think?" asked Android 17.
"I don't understand," replied John Doe.
Android 17 was speechless. You don't understand, but you're looking so intently.
John Doe put away the blueprints and said, "Although I don't understand these blueprints, my friend Bulma will definitely understand them. Let's show them to her."
John Doe then looked at the computer next to him and said, "Let's check the computer again and see if there's any useful information inside."
The two of them quickly turned on the computer, but they didn't expect that there was even more data stored in it, mainly about Cell.
The two of them discovered from the computer that this computer was created by Dr. Gero to produce and cultivate Cell.
Ever since Son Goku destroyed the Red Ribbon Army's first headquarters, Dr. Gero had planned to create a super android to destroy Son Goku and eventually conquer the world.
Cell was Dr. Gero's main subject for creating a super android. Dr. Gero released countless tiny robots capable of collecting cells from various powerful beings on Earth.
Using gene editing capabilities, he edited and eliminated the cells bit by bit, eventually cultivating the super android Cell.
However, what Dr. Gero didn't expect was that this plan would take an incredibly long time.
To mature, Cell required a massive amount of biological energy, but the amount of biological energy synthesised by this computer each day was too small, and the time it took was so long that Dr. Gero himself didn't have the time to wait.
In the end, Dr. Gero had no choice but to temporarily abandon the Cell project, handing it over to the computer's control, while he himself turned to the pure mechanical android project and the human-based android modification project...
At the end of the data, Android 17 saw the following sentence.
"No matter how much human biological energy Cell absorbs, it can only be in its most basic form. To achieve its final evolution and become a perfect being, it must absorb Android 17 and Android 18." At this point, Android 17 was somewhat shocked.
Android 17 quickly continued reading, "Because only after absorbing Android 17 and Android 18 can the two people's eternal power reactors provide Cell with an endless supply of energy. Moreover, Android 17 and Android 18 were carefully selected by Dr. Gero, and their genes can allow Cell to perfectly utilise the abilities of those super-strong cells within its body."
"Damn it, it turns out that I and Android 18 were already targeted by Dr. Gero before we joined the Red Ribbon Army. That's why the Red Ribbon Army specifically invited me and Android 18, who were just ordinary martial artists at the time."
"It turns out that from the very beginning, Dr. Gero planned to turn us into androids."
After saying this, Android 17 slammed the computer desk, creating a large crack on the table.
No wonder, out of all the androids, only they were modified based on humans.
According to logic, the pure mechanical androids should be more powerful than them, but why, after creating Android 16, did they modify me and Android 18? It turns out that all of this was for Cell.
Android 17 immediately felt a sense of crisis and continued reading, but as he read, he furrowed his brows. "That's not right," said Android 17. "According to the description above, Cell should still be in its embryonic form at this point!"
"That's right, there's no mistake," said John Doe. "Logically, Cell should still be an embryo at this point. So, the Cell that's currently outside, constantly killing humans and absorbing their biological energy, must be the one that came from the future."
"The only reason it specifically came back from the future is that in the future, you and Android 18 should have already been destroyed, but Cell needs to absorb you and Android 18 to evolve into its perfect form. After killing Future Trunks, who possessed a time machine, it travelled back in time to our era."
After talking about the future Cell, John Doe turned to look at the empty culture dish and continued, "There's still something I'm concerned about. Since the Cell outside is from the future, what about the Cell from our world? Why isn't it in the culture dish?"
Android 17 also looked at the empty culture dish behind him, puzzled, not knowing what had happened.
Currently, apart from Dr. Gero, who knew about this underground laboratory, only Cell himself knew about it. Dr. Gero had already been killed by Android 17, so the modern Cell embryo was likely taken away by Cell himself.
But why did Cell specifically come to take away his past embryo? What conspiracy was behind this!
John Doe felt a bit overwhelmed at this point, blaming himself for changing the plot too drastically, which was now backfiring.
Android 17, seeing John Doe's furrowed brows, asked, "What's wrong, Mr. John Doe?"
"I'm a bit confused," replied John Doe. "I can't figure out what Cell's purpose is in taking his past embryo. My intuition tells me that Cell has a deeper purpose, but I can't figure it out. This feeling of being out of control is not good."
Unlike John Doe, Android 17, although initially shocked by Cell's threat, quickly regained his composure. He said, "Mr. John Doe, no matter how powerful Cell's perfect form is, as long as we can find and kill him before he fully grows, any threat or scheme of his will be just empty talk."
After hearing Android 17's words, John Doe nodded and said, "You're right. Let's go quickly. We must find and eliminate Cell before it grows up!"
At this moment, John Doe and Android 17 heard the sounds of battle coming from the ground. The two of them looked at each other and quickly retreated from the underground laboratory, reaching the surface.
It turned out that Android 16 and Android 18 were fighting against Future Trunks and Son Gohan. For some unknown reason, the two sides had started fighting again.
John Doe quickly stepped between the two sides, stopping them from continuing the fight.
John Doe asked Future Trunks and Son Gohan, "Why are you here, and why are you fighting again?"
Seeing John Doe with the androids, Future Trunks was taken aback and retracted his hand, which was about to shatter his sword. He then explained to John Doe why he and Son Gohan had come.
