My eyelids struggled to open, but drooped weakly because I hadn't opened them for so long.
After several attempts, Xu Chengzhi finally managed to open his eyes wide.
The white light was blinding, the surrounding light was blinding, and the snow-white ceiling above was also blinding.
"You're awake?" Mr. Ex asked softly when he saw that the man's eyes were open.
That voice sounds so familiar.
It sounded like his own voice, but it didn't come from his mouth.
Having been asleep for ten days and ten nights, Xu Chengzhi's reaction time was much slower than usual, and his control over his body was not as nimble as usual.
"Where am I?" Xu Chengzhi struggled to support himself on the bed sheet, shifting his body upwards and weakly leaning against the headboard of the hospital bed.
Scanning his surroundings, Xu Chengzhi's sluggish brain worked its magic. Without needing Mr. Ex's reply, he already knew where he was.
Hospital.
He touched his chest; there was no wound or sign of injury.
She looked up blankly at the man standing beside the hospital bed. He was wearing a black mask, so her expression was unreadable.
But Xu Chengzhi clearly remembered what face was hidden beneath that mask.
It was a face that looked almost exactly like his.
Xu Chengzhi was also very surprised when he first saw what he looked like without his mask.
I've lived for thirty years and I've never heard of having any brothers.
That day, Mr. Ex texted him to meet, took off his mask, and explained everything to him. Only then did he understand why Mr. Ex looked the same as him, which also determined why he suddenly changed his personality in the eyes of others, including Lin Yang, and why he chose to do those cruel things to hurt Lin Yang.
He vaguely remembered that in the end, he forced Lin Yang to kill him.
But how did he end up at the hospital?
Was it this man in front of me who saved me?
"Xu Chengzhi, do you have many questions in your heart right now? The biggest question is, why didn't you die?" Mr. Ex waved to the nurses and doctors behind the door, signaling them to leave first.
The nurses and doctors quietly withdrew.
They only continued their conversation after hearing the door to the ward close softly and cautiously.
"Did you save me?" Xu Cheng frowned subconsciously.
Upon hearing this, he realized it was unlikely.
Ex had already forced Lin Yang to kill him, so how could he possibly go to such lengths to save him?
"Don't frown. I know what you're thinking. That's right, it wasn't me who saved you. At the last moment, the system I developed went out of my control." Mr. Ex's slender fingers slowly covered the mask.
"So? We're back to square one? Everything's starting over?" Xu Chengzhi grasped the key point and continued to elaborate on his conjecture.
"I suppose so, but it'll be over soon." Ex gently fastened his mask, removing the covering to reveal his true face.
"What do you mean?" Xu Chengzhi stared intently at Ex's face, which was exactly the same as his.
“Since I am the creator of this system, I have the right to guide everything onto the right path.” Ex approached the bedside. “In other words, you should die.”
Xu Chengzhi curled his lips and chuckled, "In the end, you still only care about my life."
“You know why,” Mr. Ex shrugged.
Xu Chengzhi's smile vanished, his eyes meeting Ex's murderous gaze. "Then go ahead and do it. I've said it before, as long as everything is for Yangyang's good, what does it matter if you take my life?"
