The intricate corridors of the temple wound like a maze, with countless intersections merging and diverging. People of varying heights ran through them, their expressions shifting between shock and curiosity upon unexpected encounters. "Who are you?" "Who are you?" "Who are you?" The figures questioned each other with different voices—some youthful, some mature—but their tones were identical. "I am Qi Si." "I am Qi Si." "I am Qi Si." They answered with the same…-

The situation seemed to have changed again, but compared to seeing his own eight dead Corpses, this was nothing. Qi Si pretended not to hear the urging, acting on his own accord as he picked up the Corpse he fancied and held it tightly to his chest. Ensuring all critical areas were shielded by his own Corpse, he maintained his unchanging smile and asked the person behind the door, "Why can't you be the one to come out?" The voice behind the door chuckled, "Because you…

Qi Si did a rough count: eight corpses in total, each dead in a different way yet all looking more or less the same, every one of them wearing the same style of white shirt he had on. The bodies lay silently in front of him, intact yet lifeless, like exquisite dolls arranged with care inside a display cabinet. Qi Si admired the scene for a moment, then smiled and shook his head. "The setting contradicts itself—have you finally run out of story to tell?" "If these corpses are…

Time flew; the lights went out, and a darkness thick enough to touch turned the room into an artificial night. Qi Si curled beneath the blanket, fingers on his pulse, silently counting the seconds. Seven thousand two hundred seconds—two hours—he reckoned the night was deep, rolled out of bed, tucked the pillow under the sheet, and folded the corners to shape a body still sleeping. He groped his way into the bathroom attached to the Observation Room and ran his hand along the…

When Qi Si was sixteen, perhaps due to his eccentric behavior and the fact that an extra mouth to feed was indeed a burden, his uncle, who had volunteered to be his guardian, finally reached his limit and sent him to a youth summer camp. The summer camp was located deep in the mountains and old forests, practicing militarized management and promoting doctrines like "Absolute fairness, universal harmony; sin is eternal, the Balance Guild endures" all day long. It practically…

The uncanny valley effect brought about both psychological and physiological discomfort, the sense of incongruity weaving together like a net. Qi Si stared at the figure in the mirror, silent for a long time, before saying calmly, "If it's just that the appearance doesn't look quite human, it can be completely solved through makeup." Jin Yusheng said seriously, "You have no soul." Qi Si looked away and gave a chilly smile, "When the last plank of the Ship of Theseus is…

A numerical designation—a cold form of address that treated Qi Si as nothing more than an inanimate object rather than a living, breathing human being. Qi Si had expected as much. He looked at the person behind the desk and asked first, "What evidence do you have to prove that you are Jin Yusheng?" "I have no need to prove anything to you." Jin Yusheng pulled open a desk drawer and looked down, flipping through the documents inside. "You are just a clone; your…

The man before him had brown hair tied in a small ponytail, and despite his serious expression, he still looked somewhat unorthodox. He was supposedly the dean of the Research Institute, but he seemed more like a fortune-teller running a street stall. This person was Qi Si's acquaintance, his only 'friend'—the kind bound by interests, with minor flaws that were tolerable, and highly useful in many situations. "Jin Yusheng," Qi Si smiled, gazing into the man's eyes, "Your…

The meticulous scientific descriptions recorded a rather fantastical diagnosis, yet it eerily connected with reality, aligning with common sense as one knows it. Qi Si continued to browse the remaining paper records with great interest. Dozens of pages in a row were laboratory test reports, with arrows pointing up and down following the test data, and various unfamiliar scientific terms written below. In addition, there were several ultrasound images in shades of black, white, and gray,…

Not all evil deeds will be judged as sins, Nor will all sins be punished. — "Volume II: Crime and Punishment" A pitch-black, lightless night shrouded the Graveyard. From time to time, a few red-eyed crows flew over and perched upon the tombstones. Qi Si sat leaning against a small burial mound, fiddling with a skeletal arm he had just pulled out as if holding a freshly picked bunch of Ghost Pipes. One by one, skeletal claws burst from the earth like grass sprouts,…
