The Cave: A Conversation with My Own Statue

Ying Gou did not say a word the entire way.

But I knew he had to be thinking about something.

Maybe he could surprise me.

Seeing me look at Ying Gou, Ye Jinghong glanced at him as well. "So, did you come up with some brilliant solution?" Ying Gou shook his head. He said he had not truly thought of any good solution. This was too much of a headache, and it was his first time encountering something like this.

"I think the worst part is that even if we are really forced to become enemies with ourselves, I would still have no chance of beating myself, just like when I faced that Digital Person. And the real self might be even more terrifying than a Digital Person. After all, everything I know, he knows. Everything he knows, I know too. They say know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle, but I disagree. If you completely know your opponent's methods and thoughts, how is the fight any different from the left hand fighting the right?"

Ying Gou's words left both Ye Jinghong and me stunned.

He had indeed thought far ahead. He had even considered what would happen if we ended up fighting ourselves.

Ye Jinghong said, "Exactly. And when the time comes, it will be a melee. As the first group, we will most likely become everyone's target. We might not even have any allies."

I narrowed my eyes. Surely it would not be as exaggerated as they made it sound?

There were indeed too many unstable factors, but at least every group had a version of me. They should all possess my thoughts and way of thinking.

"You two are being too pessimistic and despairing. Don't forget, I will play a crucial role."
