Tens of thousands of Awakeners are on standby, Yi Lin, accompanied by Neo and Bella, arrive in the lower district, where they find another "Neo" in a dilapidated apartment building.
Bella is utterly baffled—two Neos? It leaves her with an inner turmoil of not knowing whom to turn to.
No.
To be precise, when anyone is in such a scenario, they begin to question life, unable to distinguish between reality and illusion.
The Neo who was sleeping soundly is instantly controlled by Yi Lin. Yi Lin gestures towards Neo: "Absorb him."
Neo furrows his brow but doesn't make a move.
"Although revealing the truth might be a bit unscrupulous, if my guess is correct, even you standing here now, very likely you are 'replicas' split from the 'Center of Everything.' You possess the same 'core data.'
Neo, after a moment of silence, asks: "What will happen if we merge into one?"
Yi Lin shakes his head: "I don't know. But if you don't merge, death is certain."
