I shook my head.
"Nope~"
Yeah... she was so naive and innocent.
The corner of my mouth twitched, and my cheek stiffened. Somewhat incredulous, I asked again.
"Really nothing?"
"Really nothing~"
Irene looked at me with that same familiar expression, her face completely unchanged.
"Th-then... why are you so calm?"
"Calm?"
Irene hesitated, as if thinking about something, then nodded.
"Of course~"
"Aren't you scared?"
I was completely baffled. Was she not afraid at all?
"Of course not. Yuxuan, why would you ask that?"
Irene seemed to think my question was strange and actually asked me one in return.
"No, I mean... why aren't you scared at all?"
I was at a loss. How could she not be scared in the slightest? That was impossible!
"Because this body is a clone? It doesn't matter if it dies."
Irene answered me with a perfectly serious expression.
And suddenly, I felt that she made a lot of sense. I was... speechless.
I stared at Irene for a long time. I blinked, she blinked, and then we sank into another strange silence.
"I... fuck."
After a long while, I managed to squeeze out two words.

the hurricane reached there, she still wouldn't
be scared. She had thousands of clones, and the underground insect network had even reached Europe!
What the hell did she have to fear?
I was the one who should've been scared!
The hair all over my body instantly stood on end. I didn't have any body hair that could actually stand up, but I still felt goosebumps breaking out all over me.
MMP!
The only reason I'd been so calm
