Chapter 346 He's going to shut down these replicas.
His kind...?
Xie Yungui pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "Our goal is to kill our original body and then obtain its memories."
He explained, "Therefore, not all of them aim to 'kill Jiang Xingni,' but rather to 'kill the original body.'"
Jiang Xingni is Jiang Xingni's target.
Xie Yungui didn't care about the words he was nitpicking; he already knew what he wanted to know—indeed, someone's goal was to kill Jiang Xingni.
He had to go find her.
He couldn't bear to see Jiang Xingni die again, no matter how he died.
The moment he set off, Xie Yungui blocked his way: "You didn't answer my question."
He repeated his initial question: "Why are you so obsessed with her?"
Xie Yungui slowly gripped the knife in his hand.
Xie Yungui could clearly see the attitude of the other self in those eyes—if you are unwilling to give me an answer, I will naturally find the answer in your memories.
Xie Yungui sneered. He didn't have any ill feelings towards his copy. Since the copy shared the same obsession, it might even become his temporary ally.
But now it seems that the biggest mistake the other party made was preventing him from finding Jiang Xingni.
"If you want to know, I will give you my memories." He no longer cared about the impact of transferring his memories to the clone, or whether [Xie Yungui] would suffer brain death from repeating the same memories so many times.
Xie Yungui crossed his arms, a faint smile devoid of any emotion appearing on his face.
"If you want to know the truth, then come over," he said. "But I can't guarantee you'll live to find out."
Xie Yungui simply nodded in response: "I understand."
He said that, and then walked over.

Su Yanzhi hadn't been involved in such a tense fight in a long time.
Fortunately, Su Yanzhi's strength had recovered after the time loop ended. Otherwise, if she were to fight a fully-energized clone while exhausted, Su Yanzhi would seriously doubt how much of an advantage she had.
Now, both of them are in good physical condition, and Su Yanzhi is able to fight Su Yanzhi to a draw. If he were to lack physical strength as before, Su Yanzhi would feel that he is not far from being killed and replaced.
Space was cut in a similar way. [Su Yanzhi] chased after Su Yanzhi. The space beside him—including the part of his body—was suddenly torn apart, but was forcibly stitched back together by his ability just as it was about to endanger him.
[Su Yanzhi] possesses the same abilities as Su Yanzhi, which means that whatever abilities Su Yanzhi uses, [Su Yanzhi] can also use.
Although Su Yanzhi would have a hard time getting to him, he certainly knew how to defend against and counter the abilities Su Yanzhi used. However, the longer it went on, the more Su Yanzhi would be able to learn from Su Yanzhi's methods and use the same techniques to break through Su Yanzhi's attacks.
Su Yanzhi's face darkened. This entanglement couldn't go on... He had to find a way to break the deadlock.

Lu Xianqing stared at the person opposite him who had the same face as him.
She could be considered the one who had the most difficulty fighting among all the main characters.
—She herself likes to use death as a method of attack, and her superpower is to be resurrected from the dead, like other clones, who steal the memories of the original body by killing it. This is simply not feasible for Lu Xianqing.
Lu Xianqing wanted to kill her, but Lu Xianqing committed suicide even faster than Lu Xianqing could kill her.
Similarly, when Lu Xianqing encountered a crisis, she imitated Lu Xianqing's approach and attempted to resolve it through suicide. However, when faced with the pain of death, Lu Xianqing still couldn't help but frown, finding it difficult to bear the agony of death.
The bodies left behind after the two girls committed suicide were laid out layer by layer on the ground, making it impossible to distinguish which one belonged to Lu Xianqing and which one belonged to [Lu Xianqing].
"Can't I give you my memories?" [Lu Xianqing] tilted his head. "Anyway, we'll both be resurrected. Neither of us will truly die. Even if you give me your memories, you still won't die like others."
Lu Xianqing was utterly bewildered: "What exactly are you resisting?"
—This is clearly the best solution.
Why did Lu Xianqing disagree?
In fact, Lu Xianqing saw things more directly than [Lu Xianqing]. She could see that when the replica faced death, the expression revealed was not direct, but enough to be described as one of reluctance.
She would feel pain from death. Although she was now fighting in her own way, she chose death only because Lu Xianqing had not shown any other abilities. If she had a second choice, Lu Xianqing might not have been willing to accept death.
—If she can't even bear this kind of death, the little girl thought quietly to herself, then how can she bear the pain of dying in all sorts of different ways from childhood to adulthood?
Lu Xianqing felt this was just a reasonable analysis. Lu Xianqing was not suited to gaining her own memories; she was more suited to creating her own. Perhaps she could create a new way to use this superpower.
With a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, Lu Xianqing's only response to his question was a few simple words: "No, those aren't your memories."
"You should create your own memories."
Lu Xianqing stared at her and scoffed, "You make it sound so easy."
"—But I was created without such a choice."

He Jingtong remained at the base.
He could see the monitors attached to each replica, and the live feed was transmitted to He Jingtong's retina after a few seconds of delay.
He can also see the tasks assigned to each clone: kill the original and obtain the original's memories.
If Jiang Xingni doesn't come, the clone of Jiang Xingni will definitely not leave its post to hunt her down.
But she did come anyway.
Then Jiang Xingni will definitely fight her according to the program he set, with the ultimate goal of killing Jiang Xingni.
He Jingtong suddenly stood up and turned to his subordinate, asking, "Where is the place where the clones are controlled?"
He was going to shut down these copies.
