The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Two people were standing next to Zhou Shan's desk.

Song Chen and Wang Xuejun were looking at the small mobile phone screen in front of them.

"This is... Jiang Chuan's phone?"

"So... the one who was brought to the Diviner's Alliance was actually Jiang Chuan!?"

"And after being brought to the Diviner's Alliance... he's still alive!?"

Only now did Wang Xuejun realize that Jiang Chuan, who had suddenly returned from the base recently, was actually a clone!
The one who was brought to the Diviner Alliance was actually Jiang Chuan himself!
This is absolutely absurd!

"How did this happen!?"

"It's fine if you two didn't tell me, but Xu Shan didn't even utter a sound!?"

"Should we say that I'm still nominally in charge of the base?"

Zhou Shan rubbed his temples and then said, "That's the situation. Just tell me if you're going to help or not."

Wang Xuejun took a deep breath: "Help!"

"How can we not help?"

He said these words almost through gritted teeth.

But he immediately became discouraged: "I understand why you called me here. You just want to find out Jiang Chuan's whereabouts from his good friend Shen Jing, right?"

"However, my understanding of Jiang Chuan is actually limited. According to the information, Shen Jing and Jiang Chuan have a very close relationship; as the old saying goes, they grew up wearing the same pair of pants."

"What good will it do to call me over?"

"They saw through it in just a few words."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shan and Song Chen exchanged a glance.

This eye contact immediately made Wang Xuejun sense that something was amiss.

The three men looked at each other, and Wang Xuejun frowned suspiciously and asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhou Shan cleared his throat and said, "I must emphasize that it is only a possibility at present."

Song Chen followed up, saying, "As you can see, we haven't responded to Shen Jing's message yet."

"He suddenly sent a message, and judging from this situation..."

"We must seize the opportunity."

"This is an opportunity to discover the location of the Diviners' Alliance."

Song Chen's tone was heavy.

Wang Xuejun's expression was quite interesting, and his gaze towards Zhou Shan and Song Chen became even more peculiar.

Following that, Zhou Shan continued:

"He Teng is on his way..."

"I sent him to find Jiang Chuan's whereabouts, but that kid hasn't even left Yanjing during this time..."

"We should be there soon."

"Now, this is the only one left on the armor that hasn't been affected by the strange phenomenon."

As Zhou Shan spoke, he shook his head somewhat helplessly.

Wang Xuejun lifted his glasses, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and suddenly asked, "So you called me here?"

"I can't do that kind of thing."

Zhou Shan was silent for a moment, then said, "You're not good enough."

Wang Xuejun: "..."

He was speechless, then suddenly froze, his pupils dilating instantly: "You mean?"

Zhou Shan nodded: "We need the help of the Nine Lines."

……

At this moment, in a "classroom" at the secret base of the Diviners Alliance.

Shen Jing was fiddling with his phone, waiting somewhat tediously for a reply that might not even exist.

His phone was not taken away.

This was originally because he was attending a winter camp, which required him to contact his mother at certain times each day. This pretext was also quite practical, since, from any perspective, students at winter camps preparing for the college entrance exam don't need cell phones except to contact their parents.

So, apart from the midday period, Shen Jing actually couldn't touch his phone. Even during the midday period, he was generally under Li Chunfeng's watchful eye.

However, Li Chunfeng suddenly left today due to some business, and Shen Jing's sudden idea was beyond everyone's expectations.

A silent infiltration is about to begin, revolving around Jiang Chuan's unique destiny and karmic connections.

Shen Jing naturally had no idea what he was facing.

As He Teng arrived at the highest level of the organization's headquarters...

Standing in front of the phone were two Class A executives, one Class B assistant executive, and a senior executive from headquarters who was responsible for the technical and planning teams.

This setup can be described as extremely luxurious.

However, for Shen Jing, all of this was just ordinary.

This was just a greeting to an old friend, a confirmation of a minor suspicion.

It's unimportant, just a random question.

【how have you been?】

Shen Jing tapped on his phone, looking at the chat interface, and thought helplessly:

"Looks like there's no reply..."

"Could it be that Brother Chuan has really forgotten everything?"

"A car accident? Is that so dramatic?"

At this moment, Shen Jing did not notice that the book in front of Jiang Chuan had not been read for a long time.

Jiang Chuan was not as immersed in the ocean of knowledge as he appeared. At this moment, he was releasing his spiritual power in a small area, observing Shen Jing's phone screen.

"This……"

"Looks like I acted very well."

"But you're destined not to get a reply."

……

He Teng now knew what he was facing.

His tone remained slow and deliberate, but the surprise in his voice was obvious to the two of them.

"Is there such a good thing?"

Wang Xuejun went to temporarily activate the Nine Lines, and now there are still three people at this desk.

Song Chen was somewhat annoyed by the expression on He Teng's face: "How did you get here so fast?"

"Did you think I was on vacation when I told you to go find Jiang Chuan?"

He Teng shrugged, speaking nonchalantly about the matter:
"It's not like we're on vacation. You know that if I want to find Jiang Chuan, I'll definitely have to deal with interference from the Diviner Alliance. If we're too aggressive in trying to pinpoint Jiang Chuan's location, we'll easily expose him. So, we need to infiltrate slowly, which will naturally take time."

"It's not that easy."

Song Chen listened to the explanation but remained silent, while Zhou Shan seemed unconcerned. He looked at He Teng and said:

"If we can confirm Jiang Chuan's location next..."

"The rescue mission depends on you."

"We now have some understanding of the situation of the Diviners' Alliance."

"As you know, we have little chance of winning if we clash head-on with the Diviners Alliance."

He Teng nodded and gave an OK sign: "Understood."

……

On the other side, Wang Xuejun was starting up the Nine Lines.

Although he was trying to restart Nine Lines, he was actually a little confused.

So, we're going to have to restart Nine Lines again?
It's only been two months since the lockdown, so why are they reopening Nine Lines now?

Mr. Zhou...do you think it doesn't matter?

"But anyway, it's not exactly a formal restart."

"We only need to open up a portion of the logical path."

"..."

"Something just feels off."

Inside that enormous sphere, bubbles churned. Wang Xuejun was pulling out electrodes one by one.

He operated the machine incredibly fast; although he had the instruction manual in his hand, he barely looked at it.

The sphere, which was originally filled with long needle-like electrodes, now had a small area pulled out, and this was the logic gate that would be used to process the next dialogue.

I checked the code execution status on the computer before entering the key and confirming the restart of Line 9.

The holographic screen quickly went black, and then immediately entered a reloading interface.

【Hello, welcome to Jiuxing Intelligence.】 Wang Xuejun didn't pay attention to this simple loading screen, but what he didn't notice was that the original word "use" had been changed to "access".

After all, this was an opportunity that could not be missed, and he might soon lose contact with the young man named Shen Jing, so he had to quickly complete the preparations for the Nine Lines.

Once you enter the user interface, Jiang Chuan's chat habits will be loaded immediately.

Starting from the loading of the personality simulation, chat data is retrieved and analyzed to determine Jiang Chuan's tone and manner of voice in the virtual reality environment at that time...

In just a few seconds, Jiu Xing had completed all of this.

Even though he was already familiar with the Nine Lines' abilities, Wang Xuejun was still shocked when he saw this scene.

But he was certainly not overwhelmed by the shock.

After the chat personality simulation was completed, Wang Xuejun immediately gave Mr. Zhou a brief explanation of how to use it.

"Um……"

"You just need to type in the message you want to tell Shen Jing normally."

"The sent information will be identified and modified by Nine Lines."

……

at the same time.

Shen Jing was still staring at her phone screen, hoping that the real Jiang Chuan would reply to her message.

To be honest, Shen Jing felt a kind of... indescribable fear at this moment.

The guy reading next to me, who has been eating and living with me for a while, looks exactly like Jiang Chuan, but in reality, there are too many subtle differences between him and Jiang Chuan.

It was a chill that seemed to rise from the depths of one's soul...

The river before my eyes... is a superposition state that seems to be something else entirely.

He looked like he possessed a certain charm, even in his every gesture, but Shen Jing simply couldn't believe that the Jiang Chuan before him was Jiang Chuan.

It's like suddenly coming home one day to find your mother waiting for you to eat. But as you pick up your chopsticks to start eating, you suddenly realize that your mother hasn't emphasized your eating posture that day. You look up, about to ask a question, when you notice the mole on your mother's face... its location has changed.

This sense of fear was somewhat similar to what Shen Jing was feeling at this moment.

But Shen Jing couldn't be sure.

There are many different symptoms of memory loss, and perhaps some habits from the original memory may remain?
So he wanted to try and see if he would get a response to the message he sent.
If there's a response, doesn't that mean... the Jiang Chuan sitting at this table is a fake?!

But we waited for a long time.

We have not received any information.

He smiled and realized he might really be overthinking things.

Shen Jing decided to turn off the phone screen, close the phone, and give up this bizarre fantasy that had bewitched him.

But the smile on his lips immediately froze.

He saw on the screen—

The message "[The other party is typing]" appears.

As Shen Jing was utterly astonished, Jiang Chuan's pupils also contracted almost imperceptibly.

"what?"

"Who took my phone?!"

Jiang Chuan had been living in this villa area for several days, and he had been disguising himself very well.

It wasn't until this moment that he couldn't quite control the expression on his face.

His face was dark as he thought:

"You can't just go through my phone like that, can you?"

"I don't want to live on a different planet!"

……

In Zhou Shan's office.

He was explaining the final situation to Song Chen, He Teng, and Jiu Xing.

"There are a few things to keep in mind. First, we cannot reveal that Jiang Chuan's true form is over there."

"Second, we cannot explicitly reveal our intention to know the location."

"Third, considering that the person asking the question at this time might be someone from the Diviner Alliance, we must successfully disguise this identity. Especially since Shen Jing is also Jiang Chuan's friend. I think that given Jiang Chuan's personality, if Shen Jing gets into trouble, he will most likely cause a scene at the base and then die a quick death."

"Do you understand the above points, in nine lines?"

On the holographic screen, a smiley face made of symbols appeared, followed by an OK gesture.

……

At this moment, Jiu Xing had already exchanged a few meaningless words with Shen Jing.

[Shen Jing: How have you been lately?]

[Jiang Chuan: How is it?]

[Jiang Chuan: How have you been lately? What kind of bureaucratic tone is that?]

[Jiang Chuan: I don't care who you are, give my phone back to my brother Jing! Otherwise, I'm calling the police!]

Upon seeing these words, Shen Jing immediately raised his eyebrows, finding a familiar feeling.

Jiang Chuan, having read these words through his mental power, was once again deeply shaken. He was utterly bewildered, feeling that these were indeed the words he should have said, but... he didn't have his phone with him! So who was speaking at this moment? Had the clone completely replaced him? Could it be that Mr. Zhou and the others hadn't noticed that it was the original body that was taken away, while the clone remained at the base?
Can't you?
Zhou Shan sighed, "Is this how young people communicate these days?"

Shen Jing: What nonsense are you talking about? Your brother Jing is just being polite.

Zhou Shan looked at these words and then said to Jiu Xing, "Did you need something from me?"

[Jiang Chuan: What do you want with your dad?]

Zhou Shan and He Teng: "..."

Song Chen looked on in surprise: "Oh no! This will definitely be recognized as an AI conversation! How can you talk like that?"

Shen Jing: I'm fine, I just wanted to ask if you were okay.

[Shen Jing: It's been so long since we last contacted each other, I was afraid you were dead.]

Song Chen: "..."

"this is okay too?"

He shook his head: "These young people nowadays, wow!"

Zhou Shan then immediately asked Jiu Xing, "How are you doing at school? You're on vacation now, right? Where are you planning to go?"

Zhou Shan was trying to steer the conversation in a useful direction.

[Nine lines of prompts: The holiday arrangement does not apply to senior high school students. Should this be optimized?]

Zhou Shan nodded: "Adjustments should be made with the highest priority of avoiding exposure."

"But we need to ask indirectly about where it is."

[Jiang Chuan: It hasn't been that long, has it? Actually, only seven or eight days? Wasn't our last chat around New Year's Day?]

[Jiang Chuan: Hey genius, how are your grades lately? Have you improved? Don't end up not even getting into a second-tier university.]

[Shen Jing: Do you need to tell me?]

[Shen Jing: I'm cramming right now. When the college entrance exam results come out, your brother Jing's score will absolutely amaze everyone!]

[Jiangchuan: Let’s brag. 】

[Jiang Chuan: It amazed everyone... Does Qing City really have such an amazing tutoring center?]

[Shen Jing: How did you know I was in Qing City?]

Shen Jing: Is there any possibility...?

[Jiang Chuan: Maybe your grandpa and aunt will let you go out and have fun?]

Shen Jing: I'm really not here.

Jiang Chuan: I don't believe it.

[Shen Jing: How about we bet something?]

[Jiang Chuan: Let's bet. Back then, Chen Daozai... (omitted). Now I bet you're right here at home. Winning five dollars from you is no problem.]

Shen Jing: Five yuan? I'm guaranteed to win.

[Shen Jing: [Image]]

Jiang Chuan: [Congratulations on your fortune and prosperity!]

Looking at the smooth conversation and the picture that was suddenly sent, Zhou Shan and the other two looked at each other in bewilderment.

Although they didn't follow Zhou Shan's plan exactly, Jiu Xing actually accomplished the task even better...

Little did they know, Jiang Chuan was beginning to feel fear as well.

"Damn, this kid talks just like me!"

"Am I afraid I'll be replaced?"

"He can even use my spare change!" (End of Chapter)
