"What's inside your body, exactly?" Lin Shen stared at Tie and asked.
Tie shook his head and said, "I don't even know what he is, but there are fragments of memories in my mind that I've never experienced. I think those memories don't belong to me but to him. From what I can see in those fragments, he's... strange. Before today, I could only see fragmented scenes, without truly sensing his presence."
"What kind of scenes are those?" Lin Xiangdong asked.
"A lot, and very scattered. They're not very coherent. Some are scenes of killings, others are research. At first, I thought these were things I had personally experienced, but now I can tell these weren't my memories—they were his," Tie said.
"Research? What kind of research?" Lin Shen asked.
"His own research," Tie replied.
"Researching himself? How does one even do that?" Lin Shen and Lin Xiangdong exchanged bewildered looks.
