"I was copied immediately after your first horror film, Resident Evil 1. Specifically, the replication occurred right after you created her, because prior to that, you lacked significant potential, but the creation of her suddenly boosted your survival potential considerably. Therefore, I became a newcomer to the Devil Reincarnation Squad, along with your reward points, enhancement attributes, item exchanges, and even the manufactured..." The duplicate revealed the spatial ring worn on his left hand before continuing, "When I joined, the Asian members of the Devil Reincarnation Squad consisted only of Zhao Zhuikong, a Korean man, a Japanese man, and myself. Out of the seventeen members of the Devil Reincarnation Squad, there were two black men, four of us who were East Asian, and the rest were Caucasian. The strongest combat power belonged to the then-captain of the Devil Reincarnation Squad and his subordinates—a group of Caucasian duplicates."

"They told me that to enter the Devil Reincarnation Squad, one must possess the heart of a demon. They snatched my spatial ring and informed me that every reward point earned in a horror film must be used to enhance something for a core member or exchange for an item. If it were only that, perhaps it would be manageable, but..."

"In front of me, they violated Lori, and then killed her, dismembering her into several pieces. Those eleven Caucasians referred to the three of us Asians and the black men as 'pigs that can walk,' capable of continuously providing them with reward points and sub-plot completion points. Only Zhao Zhuikong was too powerful; they dared not provoke you, you idiot! Why did you create her?! Do you know what it was like to watch her weep, scream as she was assaulted, while I was bound, utterly helpless, only able to watch her be murdered? Do you know how much I hated you at that moment? I swore that if I ever met you, I would kill you, and every team member you cherished! Hahahaha!" As the duplicate spoke, his face was contorted with violence, and he began to laugh maniacally, continuing through his laughter, "Zhao Zhuikong told me that emotion is a burden. If my capacity wasn't large enough, I deserved to die. If my capacity was sufficient, I should kill them all! Hahahaha!"

"I did it. The first horror film after joining the Devil Reincarnation Squad was Friday the 13th Part 2. I fought desperately, relentlessly completing sub-plots, over and over, hahahaha! Judging by your expression, you haven't grasped what I'm saying. Let me explain it this way: in a horror film, the mission mandated by the 'Main God' is merely a tiny fraction. Take The Mummy I, which I'm sure you've also experienced. In that film, if one managed to obtain the Scorpion King's treasure under favorable conditions, one could not only summon a large contingent of the Blood Race to use their energy but also gain an A-level sub-plot completion point and fifteen thousand reward points. If, in that same film, you managed to detonate bombs across the entire city of Cairo, you could also gain a B-level sub-plot completion point and five thousand reward points. Do you understand now? Horror films! This is the world of horror films! Only by fighting desperately and discarding meaningless emotions can one truly become strong, unlike you, you coward, possessing the power of the third stage of the gene lock but remaining so weak!" Zheng Zha let out a deep breath; his body was growing increasingly weak. The bleeding was so severe that even the Blood Race's recovery rate was diminishing, yet he murmured, "What about the scar on your face? Was that from her and the other members of the former Devil Reincarnation Squad?"

The duplicate sneered, "That's right. When I first joined the Devil Reincarnation Squad, I resisted them and was beaten to this state, but I didn't die. After the first horror film, I concealed the fact that I had completed sub-plots. The second film was Predator 1, about aliens fighting in the jungle—perfect for me. In that jungle, I killed everyone who had touched her, everyone who had insulted me, every single Caucasian, hahahaha! It was in that film that I unlocked the third stage of the gene lock, then inherited the captain's authority and evolved to the early fourth stage, that's right! From then on, I discarded every emotion within my heart. I am the darkness; I am the demon! Every Caucasian who enters the Devil Reincarnation Squad must kneel and lick my boots; everyone must obey me. I prefer this incomparably powerful strength over cowardly sentimentality! Now, no one can hurt me anymore; no one can tell me 'no' again! Hahahaha!"

Zheng Zha sighed, his heart a turmoil of emotions. He wondered what he himself would have done if faced with such a situation. Most likely, no, it was almost certain he would have become the raving duplicate before him. They were, fundamentally, the same person. Thinking of this, he slowly closed his eyes.

The duplicate, however, retrieved a thick, golden ancient book from his spatial ring, murmuring, "This book can offer every person who enters the horror reincarnation a chance at resurrection. Those two you killed could be brought back, but why can't this book bring her back! Why! Ah!" At this point, he threw his head back and let out a furious scream.

Zheng Zha, with his eyes closed, gave a cold laugh and said, "Their enhanced attributes must be incredibly expensive. Would you spend double the reward points and sub-plot completion points to save them? Didn't you just say you discarded all your emotions? Why are you still cherishing your team members?"

The duplicate chuckled darkly. He exerted force, and with a sharp siss, he tore a large chunk of muscle from Zheng Zha's chest. The pain caused the man to tense up almost entirely. He then sneered, "You truly don't know many things. That kind of resurrection happens within the 'Main God' space. Have you forgotten the stories from The Mummy? If a person's body and their internal organs are present, they can be revived at the altar, regardless of how many attributes that person had enhanced during life. It only requires one B-level sub-plot completion point and one thousand reward points, hahahaha! Don't tell me you didn't obtain the Resurrection Sutra near the altar, or the 'Main God' would have given you a hint. Or perhaps you only obtained the Necronomicon? No Resurrection Sutra? Hahahaha!"

"How can a person's body and their internal organs possibly achieve that? They are from entirely different horror film worlds," Zheng Zha muttered to himself. Suddenly, a thought struck him—the only possibility, the only way that method could work. "Let it be this way, my other self. Die just like this, dying with the beautiful memories of her. Perhaps that is a form of happiness, too. Farewell." The duplicate suddenly ceased his manic laughter. He held his massive two-handed sword and silently watched Zheng Zha. There was an indescribable look of release in his eyes. Then, a single swing cleaved across Zheng Zha's right cheek, slicing clean through to his left, splitting his head in two.

"Bang!" At the exact moment the duplicate brought his sword down, an explosive wave erupted behind him—a rocket hitting a spot behind him. A semi-transparent protective layer managed to deflect the incendiary round, but the sudden explosion still sent him flying several meters back. He then saw the massive Hunter snatch Zheng Zha's corpse, turn, and sprint away into the distance. He only managed to thrust his sword forward once; the blade formed of black flame pierced the back of the massive Hunter. The Hunter then leaped nearly ten meters high, crashing into a building before disappearing.

The duplicate hefted his massive two-handed sword, paused for a moment, then lowered it. He had clearly heard the reward announcement from the "Main God" after killing Zheng Zha, so he gave it no further thought, spread his wings, and flew toward the checkpoint.

The massive Hunter kept crashing through walls, carrying Zheng Zha's body for an unknown distance. Suddenly, Zheng Zha's form vanished from the Hunter's arm, replaced by a large cross appearing where his right arm had been.

The massive Hunter froze in bewilderment. It hurled the massive cross onto the ground. Before it could make any further move, a soft, delicate white light erupted from the cross. This light intensified until even the massive Hunter had to shut its eyes. When the light finally faded, Zheng Zha stood on the ground. His right arm was fully recovered, though wounds still covered his body. His condition, however, was significantly better than before, especially his face, where a scar stretched from his right eyebrow corner all the way to his left mouth corner, making him look terrifyingly ferocious.

"Resurrection Cross. Zhan Lan, you tricked me," Zheng Zha muttered, hauling himself up. He recalled the "Main God's" prompt in his mind: Use Resurrection Cross. Return to 'Main God' Space? "No!" Zheng Zha roared. He immediately jumped up from the ground and addressed the massive Hunter beside him: "Matthew, thank you. If it weren't for you, he likely wouldn't have noticed my abnormality. Matthew?" The massive Hunter remained crouched motionlessly on the ground. As Zheng Zha approached it, he realized its huge eye had been pierced and seemed scorched by flames; its chest was burned black as charcoal.

Zheng Zha sighed. He gently closed the massive Hunter's eye. Then, turning, he sped toward a distant high-rise. If his memory served him right, when he had been sniping from that skyscraper earlier, a Green Goblin skateboard had flown from that location to the rear. His internal energy and Blood Race energy had both recovered slightly upon resurrection, so Zheng Zha used Qinggong (lightness skill) to rush towards that spot. Simultaneously, the surrounding dark mist began to dissipate, allowing slivers of morning sunlight to filter down. Following this precious light, he looked out from a residential building and indeed spotted a skateboard stuck into the wall of a structure—it was the flying Green Goblin Skateboard.

This Green Goblin Skateboard was indeed an excellent tool. One stood upon it, controlling the altitude and direction with their feet, requiring superb nervous reaction speed. Given Zheng Zha's physical conditioning, he could easily master the skateboard's flight. Within minutes, he was proficient, and he swiftly flew towards the checkpoint on the board.

"Please be safe, everyone. Please, you must all reach the checkpoint before the Devil Reincarnation Squad catches up! Please, everyone, be safe!" Zheng Zha urged the Green Goblin Skateboard forward, continuously connecting his consciousness with Zhan Lan. After what felt like half a day, the consciousnesses of several people finally appeared in his mind: Zhan Lan’s Mind Chain had linked him with Cheng Xiao and Zhan Lan herself.

Looking outward through their consciousnesses, the others—Alice and the rest—were knocked unconscious on the ground. These plot characters seemed unharmed. Wait—the enemy holding the DV camera had been killed; she lay naked and battered on the ground, looking utterly miserable. Xiao Honglu was dead, a bullet hole centered on his forehead; the young boy wore an expression of astonishment, as if something unexpected had happened. Jiang Zhe was dead, his body torn into several pieces, barely recognizable as human. Only Cheng Xiao and the two girls, Miao Ruoleng and Zhan Lan, remained. These two girls seemed unharmed, but Cheng Xiao looked terrible; one arm was broken, and the other clutched the massive Zaku Electric Axe. He held his arms wide, shielding the two girls behind him, a faint smile perpetually on his face.

"Colonel Chu Xuan, I told you, as long as I am alive, no blood shall touch the woman behind me. Your wisdom is profound, yet kill me without hesitation." Cheng Xiao smiled faintly.

Chu Xuan! Yes, Chu Xuan! Zheng Zha saw the man who had influenced him the most among the enemy ranks. Beside him were several other members of the Devil Reincarnation Squad, their faces twisted in mockery, like a cat playing with a mouse before the kill. None of them took the members of the Central Continent Team—this one man and two women—seriously.

Chu Xuan pondered for a moment, then indeed leveled his pistol at the center of Cheng Xiao's forehead and calmly stated, "Farewell." Then, he slowly pulled the trigger.

"Zheng Zha, a man must die standing. Before he dies, those he guards will never be harmed. Hehe, have I fulfilled my promise? Farewell." In Zheng Zha’s consciousness, Cheng Xiao’s face seemed to burst into laughter. Before the laughter faded, the man's hearty smile vanished from his consciousness; he was dead.

"No!" Zheng Zha propelled the Green Goblin Skateboard beneath him with even greater frenzy. At the same time, he saw a Caucasian man leering as he approached Zhan Lan and the other girl. Under the terrified gazes of the two women, he began tearing at their clothes while laughing arrogantly.

Zheng Zha’s sight was consumed by pure rage. Just as the two women were about to be violated, the man’s head suddenly flew into the air, spraying a thick plume of dark blood from the severed neck. The scarred Zheng Zha appeared behind the headless corpse, his face etched with chilling coldness.

"Amyia, kill this gene lock opener. Tom, you take the other one. Let’s go. Carry these plot characters; I don't want to stay here any longer." Tom and Amyia, the Caucasian man and woman, immediately began trembling. They each pulled out a laser pistol and aimed at their targets. A flash followed, and Zheng Zha watched as a black, bowl-sized puncture wound appeared on Zhan Lan’s chest. The girl smiled faintly as she slid down. That him, and this him, entangled in my heart, making decisions difficult. I wanted to love but dared not; I wanted to let go but couldn't bear it, so only I suffered. Zheng Zha seemed to hear the girl’s voice from the depths of her heart, and the faint smile on her face as she died. The connection of the Mind Chain slowly severed. Zheng Zha could no longer feel his comrades. He could only grit his teeth, continuously pushing the Green Goblin Skateboard towards the checkpoint. He didn't know how long it took, but everyone from the Central Continent Team, except for him, had died here!

"Ah!" Zheng Zha screamed madly, looking at the corpses of his comrades on the ground. He snatched the Electric Axe that had been next to Cheng Xiao and flew towards the checkpoint on the Green Goblin Skateboard. He was only a few kilometers from the checkpoint; looking up, he could faintly see the figures of several members of the Devil Reincarnation Squad, their skateboards crossing the checkpoint line.

The duplicate flew at the head of his team. He suddenly looked back in astonishment and saw Zheng Zha, gripping the Electric Axe, charging towards them with a frantic roar. The Devil Reincarnation Squad had already passed the checkpoint; their forms were starting to blur. The duplicate only had time to make a throat-slitting gesture before he and the entire Devil Reincarnation Squad behind him vanished simultaneously, leaving only a few plot characters to plummet from the air.

Zheng Zha knelt on the floor of the "Main God" Space, grinding his teeth so hard that several teeth shattered and bled. Despite this, he showed no sign of loosening his jaw. Behind him, Lori cried softly while trying to comfort him. "I will resurrect everyone. I will have my revenge. I will make the Central Continent Team the strongest reincarnation squad! Devil Reincarnation Squad—the other me will not lose to you again! Absolutely not!" Zheng Zha stood up, simultaneously linking his consciousness with the "Main God."

Zheng Zha watched as Chu Xuan slowly appeared before him. He reached out a hand: "Chu Xuan, help me."

"I'm not dead? Or rather, I'm resurrected? Why should I help you?"

"Because I have a way to make you feel pain, feel happiness, feel taste, and all the sensations a normal person should have! I have a way to help you!"

"Zero Point! Do you see the Brain Bug? Fire! That’s the sub-plot from Starship Troopers!"

"Zhan Lan, provide us with mental scanning. Zhang Heng, Zhao Yingkong, do you see the Dark Lord Sauron of Mordor? Kill him!"

"Wang Xia, Cheng Xiao, use the Mobile Cannon to smash that dragon! The Dragon Rider sub-plot, we can't let that go!"

"You go. I don't want to kill you. Later, tell your new teammates that Diaoyu Islands are ours, Chinese!"

"Everyone, the Devil Reincarnation Squad is getting impatient. Let's settle this right here in Resident Evil 3!"
