Chapter 349 What are you going to do?
Jiang Xing glanced at the person with the same face as himself, who slowly lost their breath.
The golden eyes dimmed, turning back to their original black, and the body slid to the ground. The eye had been staring at Jiang Xingni's face the whole time.
In that instant, she felt as if she could see her own future death.
The so-called "other self in the world," Jiang Xing thought to herself. Would she herself die like this?
Calm and uneventful, the superpower she had gained through deception disappeared with her death. She had deceived everyone, making them believe she was a superhuman, and only after her death did she revert to her original identity as an ordinary person.
This is Jiang Xingni's death, and it will also be her own death.
Jiang Xingni closed his eyes, clearing his mind of all thoughts, and began to carefully explore the room where he was stationed.
Jiang Xingni claims that he is here to assist his kind, so he never thought of leaving this place to fight Jiang Xingni... Jiang Xingni himself does not believe such a reason at all.
If it were really for these reasons, she wouldn't have fought with Jiang Xingni in the first place.
They wouldn't reveal their coordinates, just to lure Jiang Xingni over.
The only explanation is that what Jiang Xingni said was also a way for her to deceive Jiang Xingni.
She's here, probably to protect something, but what exactly is that...? Jiang Xingni pondered this as she used the influence of the Eye of Truth to open the hidden door—
She saw He Jingtong.
Two He Jingtongs—wait a minute, VOID is even making clones of its own people? No wonder the cloning technology is so advanced and sophisticated, it turns out it was prepared long ago, with a long history and family tradition.
One of them was lying on the ground, clearly having just died not long ago.
The other person, who was standing perfectly fine, holding the long sword that Jiang Xingni recognized, turned his head upon hearing the sound, his clear gaze fixed on Jiang Xingni.
"You still came?" He Jingtong smiled. "Looks like I worried for nothing—I was worried about what would happen if you couldn't handle the clones."
Jiang Xingni no longer had time to chat with He Jingtong.
She looked around at the endless, boundless nutrient tanks before her, and the experimental subjects inside, each with different appearances and ages.
Jiang Xingni suddenly realized that he hadn't been this angry in a long time.
"What is this?" she asked He Jingtong softly, her voice perfectly calm.
He Jingtong replied, "This is the 'base body' of the replica."
Of course, the replicas weren't created out of thin air by VOID.
It even had to bewitch Lu Ming, a person with superpowers, to go to the testing platform. Of course, it couldn't possibly create so many people from scratch on its own.
Therefore, there can only be one possible origin for these original bodies—they are also victims, including Jiang Xingni, who was just killed by Jiang Xingni, and He Jingtong, who was just killed by He Jingtong.
Before they became clones, they should have had their own lives, instead of being placed in experimental chambers, soaked in nutrient solutions, having all their memories wiped away, and even their faces almost disappearing.
Jiang Xingni suddenly realized where his anger came from.
"Where are their parents?" Jiang Xing asked.
Although she already knew the answer in her heart—wasn't the answer simple? The previous example was right there in her high school and at home.
Anisophora.
As long as everyone connected to them forgets their existence, they can successfully disappear from society and become nameless. Although they are still alive, they are dead in a sense.
No one remembers him while he is alive, and no one knows him after he dies.
They even have to face their own death while wearing someone else's body.
At least Jiang Xingni remembers her parents, and the children killed by Ji Shanqing also have their own parents and can vaguely recall their existence.
And what about these people in front of us?
Jiang Xingni gave He Jingtong a forced smile. She knew that He Jingtong couldn't be blamed for all of this; he himself was also threatened by the clones, and she was a victim too.
However, emotionally, she found it difficult to accept this.
"I'm not very calm right now," Jiang Xingni said in a low voice. "You'd better stay away from me right now."
He Jingtong didn't understand, but he obediently took a few steps back, afraid that even making a sound would annoy Jiang Xingni. So he didn't say a word, but silently asked with his eyes, "Am I quiet enough now? Will this still annoy you?"
Jiang Xingni ignored him.
Instead, he used the system to connect with Pei Zhaoye.
"Pei Zhaoye," she whispered. "Are you there? I need you."
On the other side, Pei Zhaoye fought three hundred rounds with another version of himself in the data stream, but neither could defeat the other.
He suddenly recalled Jiang Xingni's angry words to him: "If the internet is cut off, you won't be able to come back."
Pei Zhaoye fell into deep thought, feeling that this possibility was definitely worth a try.
So after briefly shaking off his clone, he suddenly returned from the internet to reality.
Looking at Pei Zhaoye, who was so immersed in the world of data that he completely ignored his personal safety in reality, Pei Zhaoye sometimes felt like he was hallucinating.
Then, completely disregarding any talk of fair competition or cheating, he punched Pei Zhaoye in the temple.
Immediately afterward, while the other party was still not back and he was dizzy from being struck on the temple, Pei Zhaoye lowered his eyes and ended his life without hesitation.
The corpse with the same face as him lay limply on the ground. Pei Zhaoye didn't feel as sentimental as Jiang Xingni. He just watched for a while, and then felt incredibly fortunate that he had been beaten back by Jiang Xingni.
Otherwise, if Pei Zhaoye had discovered him, he would already be the one with the corpse.
But what a pity… Pei Zhaoye thought. If only he could switch freely between data and human form. That way he wouldn't have to worry about being ambushed.
Just as Pei Zhaoye was seriously considering whether this idea was feasible, he received a call from Jiang Xingni.
It didn't come from the communicator, but from my mind.
Jiang Xingni whispered in his mind, "Can you hack into the entire planet's network?"
Pei Zhaoye:?
"What are you going to do?" he asked cautiously.
