Amidst the sound of shattering glass, I had already turned and dashed toward the door. 0
 
"Stop!" Chen Mo's voice came from behind, completely altered, sounding like a machine-generated tone. 0
 
"Bang!" A noise erupted behind me. I dared not look back; I just knew I had to run for my life. My instincts screamed that this was not the real Chen Mo, and I had to get out of there immediately! 0
 
I burst into the emergency exit and sprinted downwards. My phone vibrated violently in my coat pocket; it was a message from Zhang Zhen: 0
 
"Xiao Lin! Why can't we see any footage from the 15th floor? Are you okay?" 0
 
Damn it! Whether or not to go to the 15th floor was no longer important; my priority was to escape this building. The office building was eerily quiet at this late hour, with only the sound of my footsteps echoing in the corridor. 0
 
As I reached the 10th floor, I suddenly heard a door open above me. I held my breath and pressed myself against the wall, slowly inching downwards. 0
 
"Ding," my phone screen lit up. 0
 
Damn it! 0
 
Almost simultaneously, hurried footsteps echoed from upstairs. I hesitated no longer and continued my frantic descent. The footsteps behind me grew closer, their mechanical, rhythmic pattern sending chills down my spine. 0
 
"You can't escape, Lin Xia." It was Chen Mo's voice again. "We are everywhere in this building." 0
 
My heart skipped a beat. Right, the security guard mentioned seeing "me," and there was that "me" on the 15th floor—was there going to be even more "me" lurking in this building? 0
 
 
Lost in thought, a figure suddenly appeared around the corner. In the faint glow of the emergency lights, I could make out her face— 0
 
Another "me"! 0
 
She wore the exact same outfit as I did, even our makeup was identical. The only difference was the eerie metallic gleam in her eyes, just like Chen Mo earlier. 0
 
"Don't be nervous, soon you'll be one of us," she said with a tilted head and a smile that perfectly mirrored my own expression. 0
 
I turned and ran in another direction, but at the intersection ahead, another "me" appeared. 0
 
Damn! I was surrounded! 0
 
At this point, I had reached the sixth floor, still a distance from the ground. Behind me was the approaching "Chen Mo," and all around me were "me's." They moved in perfect unison, their faces adorned with strange smiles. 0
 
"Don't resist unnecessarily," one of the "me's" said. "The Project Mirror experiment must be completed. Don't worry, injecting the nanobots won't hurt at all." 0
 
Nanobots? Is that their secret to identity replication? 0
 
"Who are you really? Why are you doing this?" I asked while backing away and surveying my surroundings. 0
 
"We are revolutionaries," another "me" replied. "The current identity verification system is too outdated. Just think about it—if everyone could have multiple identities, how much more interesting would the world be?" 0
 
"This is your damn ideal?" I tightened my grip on my phone. "Copying other people's identities everywhere?" 0
 
 
"Not just a copy," the third "me" interjected. "It's about transcending. Just think, once Project Mirror is complete, humanity will no longer be confined to a single identity. We can live in different places at the same time, leading entirely different lives..." 0
 
As I noticed them closing in around me, a thought suddenly struck: during last year's company safety drill, there were Fire Blankets next to the fire hydrants on every floor! 0
 
Before they could react, I yanked the Fire Blanket off the wall and dashed toward the window! 0
 
"Bang!" The sound of shattering glass echoed as I wrapped myself in the Fire Blanket and jumped out. 0
 
The sixth floor—if luck wasn't too bad, I should survive! 0
 
The wind howled past my ears as I saw the ground rushing up to meet me. This was it; I might really meet my end here... 0
 
Suddenly, a familiar voice called out from below: 0
 
"I'll catch you!" 0
