"Why?" Lin Xian asked.
"Because if you upload your consciousness to another body before you die, for you, you are essentially dead. You won't open your eyes and come back to life. The consciousness you uploaded is merely a 'successor' of yourself. Let me give you an example so you can understand. If I copy your consciousness into a clone body exactly like yours, but you yourself haven't died, there will be two of you in the world. So, that copied person, is it truly a continuation of your consciousness, or just a new person?"
After Ding Junyi finished speaking, she looked at Grace: "So from her perspective, it's correct that the replicated consciousness doesn't belong to the range of Deep Red members she monitors."
"Indeed." Grace responded mechanically.
