Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

The suction didn't last long. Lin Yi only felt himself being enveloped by the suction for a moment, and then the scene in front of him changed, and he arrived at a corridor of pure white light.

At the end of the corridor, there was a half-open door.

Oh, what plot point has this triggered? Lin Yi understood instantly.

The operation of placing the dimensional gem into the slot should be fine.

Looking back, all I could see was a pristine white corridor stretching as far as the eye could see.

I don't know if I'm conscious or physically awake now. Is this inside the watch face or something else?

Lin Yi didn't think for long before walking towards the half-open door.

Anyway, the process has already begun, so there's no point in overthinking it.

squeak~

The door was pushed open, and Lin Yi looked warily into the room.

It was a small room, and like the hallway, it was all bright white.

The only difference was that a set of table and chairs was placed in the very center of the room.

A teapot sat on the table, and opposite it sat a figure... whose entire body was made of golden light.

Lin Yi subconsciously looked down at himself.

Although the figure was only composed of light and shadow, making it impossible to discern the face, the hairstyle and clothing were exactly the same as one's own.

"You're here?"

The figure glanced at Lin Yi, picked up a cup of tea from the table, and pushed it towards Lin Yi.

The voice was so familiar; it was my own voice.

This should be the figure Tony mentioned before.

Sensing no danger from the golden figure, Lin Yi silently stepped forward, hesitated for a moment, and then sat down in the chair.

Inside the teacup, the tea swayed gently, its clear liquid visible to the bottom.

Lin Yi glanced at it, but didn't intend to drink it.

"I thought they'd give me a final boss to fight, but it turns out to be a seminar?" Lin Yi said, staring intently at the golden figure in front of him.

The figure seemed to smile.

"There aren't that many standard storylines; we're not acting."

"Indeed," Lin Yi replied. "Then can you tell me who you are?"

"I hope I don't hear any clichéd or old-fashioned plots like 'You are me and I am you'."

Before the golden figure could answer, Lin Yi quickly added a patch.

The golden figure showed no surprise, simply shrugging, a gesture almost identical to what Lin Yi had done in the past.

"I'm sorry, but I really am you."

"Tsk, evidence." Lin Yi leaned back in his chair, somewhat annoyed.

In the end, it still couldn't avoid the old-fashioned plot, could it?

"Evidence? What evidence do we need? You'll believe us once we've finished this conversation."

"No," Lin Yi immediately retorted.

"Without evidence, I find it hard to believe."

"If you and I are the same person, then you should know that we are absolutely unique."

The golden figure opposite nodded: "So?"

"So it's impossible for us to meet. No matter which time period I'm in, I will never meet my future or past self."

"Your absolute uniqueness makes it impossible for me to trust you."

"So, what exactly are you?"

The golden figure didn't rush to explain, but nodded in agreement.

"As expected of me. Indeed, absolute uniqueness dictates that it is impossible for us to meet at two different times."

"Flattery won't work on me, I need evidence." Lin Yi wasn't buying it at all.

The golden figure chuckled.

"Okay, it seems I need to give at least a reasonable explanation before we can continue this conversation, right, me?"

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow but remained silent.

The golden figure didn't seem to care and continued, "To be precise, we are one, but we are not the same form of existence, or rather, physical entities."

"I am a part of your energy, or rather, a concrete manifestation of your abilities and memories."

"Simply put, I am your ability and memories. Due to certain circumstances, I was separated from your past self and your future self simultaneously. I cannot say more about the purpose and reasons for this now. After you leave here, you will regain most of your memories, and perhaps the answer you are looking for will be among them."

"If you say that, I have even less reason to believe you," Lin Yi interrupted the golden figure.

"I might believe you if you were talking about the methods my future self would use, but my past self... I don't think my past self was capable of doing such a thing."

Lin Yi's lips curled up, his smile somewhat mocking.

The golden figure shook its head: "I've already said you don't have this memory. How can you guarantee that your past self really didn't have this ability?"

"Perhaps it was your future self who traveled to the past and set up this scheme? You can't deny that possibility, can you?" The golden figure said this with a somewhat meaningful expression.

Even though he couldn't see her face, Lin Yi still had that feeling.

"If that's the case, why are you conscious?" Lin Yi seized on another key point, expressing his distrust.

"Given my personality, I would never do such a thing. Even if I were to separate some of my abilities and memories for some purpose, I would not give them consciousness."

"Don't tell me that you developed self-awareness over a long period of time." Lin Yi narrowed his eyes, his gaze turning dangerous.

"Even if what you're saying is true, we'll never be the same person again, am I right?"

The golden figure laughed again.

"Yes and no."

"I was not born with self-awareness, nor do I have self-awareness."

"That's ridiculous," Lin Yi scoffed.

"How can you talk to me if you have no self-awareness?"

"This is a specific program created based on a simulation of your future self, according to your personality and behavioral patterns."

"So what's sitting in front of you is indeed a part of your abilities and memories, but it doesn't possess self-awareness."

"If you don't believe me..."

"I really don't believe it." X2

Lin Yi and the golden figure uttered these words simultaneously.

"You think doing this will make me believe you?" x2

It was exactly the same again, even the timing and speaking speed overlapped.

Knock knock knock X2.

Lin Yi sat up straight and tapped the table. The golden figure opposite him operated in perfect sync, down to the millisecond.

"This isn't fun." X2.

"Tsk, if that's the case, then we have nothing to talk about!" X2.

The person and the shadow rose in unison.

This made Lin Yi feel like he was looking in a mirror...

It's very strange...

Lin Yi remained silent for a moment, and the golden figure opposite him also remained silent for a moment.

Suddenly, Lin Yi scratched his head.

Kick your feet.

He even took the shield off his chest and tossed it around.

The golden figure opposite perfectly replicated these movements, down to the millisecond.

However, the opponent didn't have a shield; they simply mimicked Lin Yi's movements.

"Okay, you do have some skills. I can listen to you for a bit more." X2.

After that sentence was finished, the golden figure seemed to exit some kind of mode, and its actions differed from Lin Yi's.
