Chapter 69: The Duel Between Two Chen Rans!
"You lied!"
"You lied!"
Two shots rang out. Two Geng Haos fell stiffly to the ground, no longer breathing.
Two Chen Rans remained. One leaned against the wall, while the other sat on the desk. They both held their guns, index fingers rhythmically tapping against the barrels as if lost in thought.
Chen Ran B spoke first. "Are you choosing the First Study or the second?"
Chen Ran C pondered for a moment. "I think I will take the First Study. It is easier to pull off a deception there."
With that, Chen Ran C stubbed out his cigarette and turned toward the First Study. As he reached the door, he paused to think, then bent down and hoisted one of the corpses onto his shoulder.
"If the newly generated Geng Hao is a clone of a previous one—meaning one of the two we just killed—and both of them told a lie, then the new Geng Hao will spawn with a pre-existing lie attached to him. I need you to do something. You should know what it is, right?"
"OK!"
