Reality: a laboratory in an unknown province or city.

Li Zhi woke up on an operating table. He slowly opened his eyes and took off his glasses.

This is a pair of plain glasses, which is a small trick used to disguise one's eyesight, but it was obviously not used in this game.

He stood up, looked at himself first, and then began to carefully look at the operating room where he had lived for a "long time".

This is a completely enclosed operating room with walls on three sides and a steel door that is as big as a wall on one side. Normal ventilation and air exchange depend entirely on the vents outside the air wall above the head. He always thought that this was a medical room in an underground military facility, but today, this idea has changed.

If I were a slice, then the original body would never allow myself to grow into an independent player. It must be keeping a close eye on me and observing me in secret, and even never letting go of control.

So…is this really an operating room?

Is it possible that it is connected to other spaces? Logically speaking, it is impossible, because Li Zhi once confirmed that the air wall around this wall does not seem to be fake.

But today he suddenly discovered that he had missed one thing, that is... the ventilation vent!

As far as he could remember, he had tried to climb that vent, but the wall of air held him back.

But notice... that's in memory!

So Li Zhi tightly grasped a scalpel and began to explore the space again. This time he no longer believed in his memory, because the memory of the slices was meaningless.

After he had searched all four walls again, his eyes finally turned to the only ventilation hole.

He brought the operating table and tried to climb up on it, but at that moment, the vent that was only big enough for one person to pass through opened by itself!

Yes, I opened it myself!

The sound of mechanical gears was heard, and the horizontal shutters of the vents were pushed open to the left and right, revealing a dark passage. At the other end of the passage, a hoarse voice was laughing.

"You finally found it. Come on, here are all the answers you want."

Li Zhi's pupils suddenly shrank, and then his whole body tensed up.

He had a hunch that this speaking life form might be his real body.

Finally, the moment has arrived, when the slice and the body come face to face.

Li Zhi held the knife tightly in his hand and gave himself three shots of calming spell before crawling towards the depths of the unknown passage.

And the being at the other end did not move when he was crawling in restraint.

It was not until Li Zhi crawled to another space and stuck his head out of the ventilation duct that he discovered that there were more than a dozen devices exactly the same as Serius's experimental petri dishes placed in this space. In the middle of those devices, there was a strange man who was both young and old, squinting at him.

"You are a smart man, come down, I won't hurt you."

Li Zhi's breathing stagnated, and then he jumped down cautiously.

He stood in front of the strange man who was half young and half old, his eyes full of surprise and suspicion.

"Who are you......"

“You know who I am, don’t you?

Yes, your guesses are probably correct. When you see me, you should know that I am the beneficiary and the victim of this experiment.

And you... like me, are also a victim of this experiment."

"Heh." Even Li Zhi, who had a good temper, laughed sarcastically when he heard this, "It turns out that I have never been a beneficiary."

"Our goal is the same. Someone has to sacrifice himself for the experiment, right?"

"Why weren't you the one who made the sacrifice?!"

"How do you know I have no devotion? Look at this [prosperity] flowing through me, look at this [decay] rotting through me, look at me becoming neither human nor ghost. Isn't that scary?

This is my contribution.”

"So you are trying to cultivate your original self, that is, me, as a carrier for you to shed your shell, a new body!?"

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that at all, don't get excited."

"No? Then why did you create me? To prove that your scientific research ability is capable of replicating Serius's slicing experiment?"

"You are still so paranoid. Hidden beneath all your calmness is the most irreversible paranoia." The weirdo sighed, "I separated you just so that I could continue my experiment with peace of mind. This way, you go your way and I go mine. Isn't that good?"

"I'm sorry, I can't tell whether what you said is true or not, but I... don't need to tell whether what you said is true or not. The moment you let me come here, you should have known that this matter could not end well!"

Li Zhi's eyes fixed, and he took out the dagger that he had exchanged with Cheng Shi from his arms. Then he jumped up from the ground and stabbed the old and young man's body fiercely while they were talking.

However, unexpectedly, the strange man did not hide. He just stood there waiting for Li Zhi to stab the dagger into his heart.

"laugh--"

The tip of the knife pierced the flesh and cut through the heart, but not a drop of blood was spilt.

Li Zhi looked at the strange man who had never died with horror on his face!

"You...you...how is it possible, how is it possible that you are not dead! This is..."

The strange man smiled strangely, he stretched out his skinny hand, grasped the concentric dagger, and then pulled the murder weapon out of his rotten heart bit by bit.

"Is this the concentric dagger that sliced ​​Serius? This is what you want to talk about." The strange man's laughter was like the breath of a dead person, intermittent and creepy.
