"Chen Yan" sat up from the bed every day after dawn, feeling hysterical for two minutes, then got out of bed, washed up, got up and went out to buy breakfast.

Chen Yan, who was always observing the movements of "Chen Yan", was a little anxious. He couldn't just watch the impostor leave the apartment like this. Who knew what the impostor would do after he left?

But now he is just a wandering soul who cannot protect himself, and it is impossible to follow the impostor out of the apartment. There are too many shadow creatures in the world of wandering souls, and Chen Yan cannot afford the risk of being attacked by shadow creatures.

'Ogami, help me!'

After Chen Yan expressed his concerns, Ogami patted his shoulder and said it was okay.

Chen Yan clung to Ogami's shoulder, and the latter followed "Chen Yan" out of the door with light steps.

Ogami stayed close behind "Chen Yan", so Chen Yan was able to observe every move that "Chen Yan" was familiar with.

He recalled what he had experienced last night, with all kinds of puzzlements in his mind, and many doubts came to his mind:

‘If he is my backup, does he know he is my backup?

Does he know that he is... just a copy?'

Chen Yan was very uneasy because this was a very critical issue related to "Chen Yan's" self-perception.

Chen Yan knew in his heart that once "Chen Yan"'s self-perception was confused, he was likely to take extreme actions - Chen Yan thought in the situation that if one day he was told that he was a fake and just a stand-in, he would

Most likely he will have a mental breakdown and lose his mind.

'I have no way of knowing the answer to this.'

He then thought of other important things——

'Where does the technology of backing up consciousness and soul come from? Is it a unique technology of the William Adams family? Is it also a technology from the Outer Gods? Is it the same technology as the Outer Gods that created the Raging Spirit?'

Chen Yan was filled with doubts.

'Maybe...maybe he doesn't have a soul, he's just a copy of my memory.'

‘So, who backed me up?

Is it Chen Changsheng?

Why is he backing me up?

When was it backed up?

It is estimated that this backup process has been ongoing because he knows everything that happened before the quantum clone entered the online world for the last time.

When he backed me up, I didn't notice it at all, just like when I didn't know who synchronized my bio-waves to create a mobile phone, a bio-electronic device that is completely adapted to me.'

Even though only his spirit body was left, Chen Yan felt cold all over his body and couldn't help but want to shiver.

'Maybe... it was not Chen Changsheng who backed me up. He just had the right to use the backup.'

Forcing oneself to calm down is an ability. After repeated exercises many times, Chen Yan has gradually mastered this ability.

'I must know Chen Changsheng's exact abilities before I can make a judgment on this.'

'I must regain my quantum clone in the online world. In this way, I can hack into Chen Changsheng's mobile phone and know his secrets. I may also re-enter that dark world with countless backup 'files' to track down

the truth.'

‘…’

Chen Yan looked at "Chen Yan" stepping into the wind and snow, and Ogami following quietly behind, and thought about it several times.

Perhaps it was because his spiritual vision was not turned on, or perhaps because there was no need to turn on his spiritual vision, "Chen Yan" never showed any unusual behavior.

"Chen Yan" is just like Chen Yan in the past, except for the gate of No. 33 Walker Street, heading south, trying to buy breakfast for the tenants.

However, the breakfast vendors have been unable to prepare breakfast this morning because of yesterday's riots. Whether it is freshly cooked food or fast food packaged in plastic, they cannot supply it because the riots have affected the market.

"Chen Yan" called Jack Baldo, told them the current situation, and then walked north.

Ogami was obviously proficient in tracking. He always kept a certain distance from "Chen Yan" and followed him neither far nor close, so that Chen Yan could observe him.

After a while, "Chen Yan" arrived at Apartment No. 17, not far from Apartment No. 33.

He knocked on the door, and the person inside saw his face through the glass, so he opened the door to him without saying a word.

Ogami lightly touched the snow and stepped onto the eaves, hibernating on the side of a skylight facing a dark alley.

Chen Yan easily saw everything happening in the house:

"Chen Yan" simply said that he needed to investigate Nate Jacob. After a moment, an ordinary middle-aged man handed him half a piece of paper. Chen Yan could even see the piece of paper.

Text:

No. 3871 Market Street, Lower City. His original name was Nate Jacob. He changed his name to Mike Rawls a year ago. He is now running an agency business. His business scope...

This piece of paper writes everything about Nate Jacobs in detail. In addition to the current situation, it also traces the origins of the current situation and lists all the changes that have happened to Nate Jacobs from leaving prison to now.

Timeline and all privacy are invisible on this piece of paper.

Chen Yan didn't see it clearly, because "Chen Yan" quickly took the paper, put it in his pocket, thanked him, and prepared to leave.

Most of "Chen Yan's" habits are exactly the same as Chen Yan's - such as focusing on himself in dangerous situations.

'He was originally me...'

Chen Yan looked at "Chen Yan" doing exactly the same thing as himself, and thought, what is the difference between him and himself? Does he have a soul? But how to define a soul? Even if it is defined, whether he has a soul or not, can he

Be the key to judging whether a person is himself or not?

Chen Yan was a little confused. He looked at what "Chen Yan" did and gradually calmed down, because what "Chen Yan" did was what he wanted to do. What "Chen Yan" was thinking when facing all this,

It was no different from what he was thinking when faced with this scenario.

Before "Chen Yan" left, the middle-aged man at No. 17 Walker Street told him that due to complicated reasons, William had been released from prison, and told them to say hello when they saw him, and it would be best to let him go.

meet him.

Chen Yan was quite surprised when he heard the result, because he knew that Exquisite Nestor had carried out a massacre in prison, but William actually survived.

The reason is probably because he was still staying in the infirmary on the third floor of the office area at that time, and just escaped the general cleaning of the cell area.

What a lucky guy.

After experiencing a series of incidents in the prison, and having to face the huge changes in Yanan City's society, William must have been very busy at this time.

What Chen Yan felt a little uneasy about was that once "Chen Yan" went to see Da William, established some kind of relationship with Da William, or reached some kind of agreement with Da William, then once he got back

The body, the follow-up of these relationships and agreements must be borne by him.

'I hope he won't do anything extraordinary...he probably won't do anything extraordinary.'

Chen Yan reminded himself again.

'He is me...and, judging from his previous performance, he has probably [corrected] some mistakes and changed some of my personality flaws.'

'He...he might do better than me.'

Even knowing this, Chen Yan was still uneasy in his heart. This time he did not show confusion because of these uneasiness, because he clearly knew the source of these uneasiness——

He was afraid of facing such a better version of himself, afraid that such an "upgraded version" of Chen Yan could completely replace him without any side effects.
