The man staring back at me in the Black Sun Syndicate's dungeon was…
Me.
But better.
"They kept you because you cried less," he said, polishing a diamond-encrusted scalpel.

The Original's Game
Real Lu Chen's revelations came like bullets:
1. He was raised by triads to infiltrate Shengyuan.
2. I was the backup body—insurance in case his "wore out."
3. Anya was his fiancée first. ("She kisses the same, yes?")
The room was rigged to mirror my movements. Every punch I threw landed on myself. Every kick I aimed twisted back into my ribs.
My advantage?
He didn't have God's Eye.
And Anya's knife was still in my pocket.
I let him stab me—then used our blood-slick hands to activate the system override.
"Transfer all shares to… Asset D."

The Divorce Papers
Anya served me three documents in the ICU:
1. Divorce Agreement (she gets 40% of Shengyuan)
2. MSS Employment Contract (my new salary: $1/year)
3. Wedding Photo (with real Lu Chen's face cut out)
My countersign?
A bullet through the divorce papers.
A vial of original Lu Chen's DNA, now airborne in the vents.
A text to Director Mu: "Check Anya's tracker implant."
The explosion leveled MSS headquarters.

The Accountant's End
The final ledger entry:
"Asset D termination cost: $0 (self-inflicted)"
I stood over real Lu Chen's corpse in the vault, swapping our dental records.
Anya found me wearing his face.
"Which one are you now?" she asked, stiletto poised over my heartbeat.
I kissed the blade.
"Whoever gets me 51%."
