Before I returned the statue to Miss Christina, I secretly made a copy and left it at the end of the laboratory.
As time passed, I discovered that the Primordial Dao Repository itself began to distort the reality of this world.
Many cloned medical staff underwent mutations. They seized the opportunity to escape and attacked the people in the hospital, attempting to replace them.
I had no choice but to kill them and then recover them.
While eliminating the distorted effects, I was also trying to stop the spread of the Primordial Dao Repository's distortion.
Though I used my mentor's connections to keep the upper echelons temporarily unaware of this place, the distortion could not be stopped. If it weren't halted, this place would inevitably be discovered by those above.
I tried many containment methods, all of which failed.
During this period, it seems I died a few more times? We could no longer distinguish who was the clone and who was the original.
It didn't matter anymore.
