Jiang Baimian nodded with a normal expression:

"I've thought it through."

That "Jiang Baimian" scrutinized her face for a while, then sighed and said:

"Looks like it's not the answer I wanted. Are we really going to fight each other and determine who's superior?"

Jiang Baimian had repeatedly asked herself this question during this period, and her will on this matter gradually became firm. She said calmly:

"Wei is adventuring in the 'New World', trying to figure out the truth and stir up the waters. Xiaobai and Xiaohong are lurking inside the company. Once an opportunity arises, they will directly face all kinds of dangers and inform everyone of the ins and outs of the matter, organizing them to escape the underground building, while Lao Ge, who is clearly not a member of the company, has to be responsible for the reception and bear considerable risks.

"They are all risking their lives for this matter. How could I betray them and choose to compromise and live in disgrace?

"Our group has gone through life and death together so many times, no one will desert the ranks unless there is no hope and we must preserve the embers."

Before that "Jiang Baimian" could respond, she continued:

"Moreover, the essence of our dream is to prevent the 'Heartless Disease' from always hanging over the heads of human beings, and to prevent human civilization from encountering another disaster like the destruction of the Old World."

"Are you really not afraid of death? Aren't you afraid of changing the comfortable lives of your parents?" That "Jiang Baimian" sighed.

Jiang Baimian laughed:

"I remember there's a saying that 'nothing is a big deal except death'. No one is not afraid of death, even Wei has cowardly and timid personalities.

"And in this matter, Wei is the main force. I'm just doing some auxiliary work, and the dangers and difficulties I face are far less than his.

"Besides, we are in the graylands. It's not like you can live a peaceful life and die with a smile until you are old and frail just because you are afraid of death. If the problems in the 'New World' are not resolved and the fighting there does not end, even the directors of the company would not dare to guarantee that they will not become food for the Big Boss in the next decade or two.

"Once there are changes in the 'New World' and the Big Boss is in urgent need of replenishment, no one can escape."

Speaking of this, Jiang Baimian made a summary:

"I am afraid of death, but not to the point that my legs go weak when I hear there will be great danger."

That "Jiang Baimian" sighed deeply and said in a self-deprecating tone:

"It seems we have to fight each other for real to determine who's superior."

Jiang Baimian didn't answer, and walked towards that golden elevator, towards another version of herself.

Step by step, she walked very firmly.

That "Jiang Baimian" changed her expression slightly:

"You think I won't stop you?"

Jiang Baimian smiled slightly:

"I've figured something out these past few days."

"What is it?" That "Jiang Baimian" asked with a solemn expression.

Jiang Baimian maintained her smile and said:

"Why is the suggestion at the end of the 'Sea of Origins' to find her, accept her, and accommodate her?"

That "Jiang Baimian" didn't speak.

Jiang Baimian walked forward while smiling peacefully:

"Our situation is different from Wei's. He really split into multiple personalities and must force the other party to cooperate in order to pass this level.

"We are essentially still one personality, just one on the sunny side and one on the shady side.

"As long as I admit that I have a selfish side and don't forcibly reject it or try to deny it, then my final decision after repeated thinking and hesitation basically means that I have reconciled with myself.

"This time, I choose to continue, but in the subsequent process, I will definitely continue to adjust my strategy according to the situation. Maybe at some point, I will choose a direction that is more beneficial to myself with a selfish mentality and give up on this matter."

Jiang Baimian didn't deny the selfish thoughts hidden in her heart, nor did she shy away from the possibility of retreating as things progressed.

She smiled very openly.

That "Jiang Baimian" had a hesitant expression on her face.

Whether it was challenging that windmill like Don Quixote or selfishly giving up, entering the 'Corridor of the Mind' was a good thing.

This could effectively improve Jiang Baimian's strength. If she really wanted to escape halfway in the future, this would also be one of the most important guarantees for her safety.

In comparison, the two sides had been arguing here without being able to move forward, which was a waste of time and left them without sufficient ability to respond to unexpected changes.

If she were a truly selfish person, she would naturally know what to choose in this situation:

Set aside disputes, develop together, and decide in the future!

Jiang Baimian walked to the side of this version of herself, nodded to her with a smile, and then continued forward.

That "Jiang Baimian" subconsciously wanted to reach out and grab her, but her whole body suddenly shook and became quite blurry.

Her figure attached to Jiang Baimian's body, making her steps slow down.

Although slow, Jiang Baimian was still moving forward, but sometimes speeding up her pace and sometimes slowing down her movements, fully revealing the inner struggle.

After only a few steps, she arrived in front of that golden elevator. Another "Jiang Baimian" had completely merged with her.

The true meaning of finding another self, accepting her, and accommodating her was not to think about overcoming her, eliminating her, or to fear her like a tiger, not daring to stand side by side with her, let alone to bow down to her and blindly agree.

Everyone has many sides, and each side is their true self. As long as they can finally acknowledge this point and frankly include the corresponding thoughts in their consideration when considering problems and making decisions in the future, then they have faced their other self, accepted her, and accommodated her.

Jiang Baimian had thought about this problem quite clearly in the past few days. After telling another version of herself all her views, struggles, and reasons, she knew that the other party would not and could no longer stop her.

She reached out her right hand and pressed the button for the golden elevator.

The elevator door opened at once, and Jiang Baimian stepped in and selected the only button.

As the car door closed, the elevator rapidly ascended, yet it irrationally made Jiang Baimian feel weightless.

Between the floating of her body and thoughts, one light orb after another appeared around her. Each light orb contained directly understandable words.

They were:

"Color Hallucination"; "Multi-limb Hallucination"... "Comprehensive Hallucination"; "Mirror World"; "Limb Use Disorder"; "Illiteracy"; "Homonymous Hemianopia"; "Limb Agnosia"; "Prosopagnosia"; "Color Discrimination Disorder"; "Get Lost Easily"; "Disorientation"...

Some of these light orbs were clear and close at hand, within reach, while others were quite distant and very blurry, requiring great effort to touch.

Jiang Baimian noticed that, just like Shang Jianyao described, there were also two light orbs suspended above her head, one was "Quantity Multiplication" and the other was "Distance Amplification".

Jiang Baimian, who had already considered the relevant issues, pondered slightly and made a decision.

She reached out her hands and first grabbed two light orbs.

They were "Mirror World" and "Get Lost Easily".

The former was an ability that the 'Old Task Force' had encountered, which Shang Jianyao called 'Virtual Machine', which was very powerful. The latter was a problem that Jiang Baimian was deeply troubled by. She planned to let the pursuers also experience the taste of 'Get Lost Easily' if she was forced to escape in the future, offsetting the time she wasted getting lost.

Among them, 'Mirror World' could be upgraded from 'Spatial Hallucination', so it was very close to Jiang Baimian. She grabbed it easily and held it in her palm, integrating it into her body, while 'Get Lost Easily' had nothing to do with Jiang Baimian's current three abilities. It was floating far away, and Jiang Baimian used a lot of effort to touch it.

By the time Jiang Baimian had integrated 'Get Lost Easily', the golden elevator had already stopped.

Jiang Baimian did not hesitate and seized the last opportunity to wave upwards.

She was reaching for "Distance Amplification".

Jiang Baimian knew very well that in the field of Awakened, a greater sensing distance often meant taking the lead, and the sensing distance was equal to the maximum effective range of some of her abilities.

Because of this, she had left a space for 'Distance Amplification' from the very beginning.

Just as that light orb entered her body along Jiang Baimian's palm, the elevator door opened.

Jiang Baimian breathed a sigh of relief, walked out of the elevator, and came to her mind room.

It was empty here. A scarlet door with a brass handle was embedded in a certain wall.

Jiang Baimian looked around, walked to the door, opened it, and scrutinized her door number.

It was "1175".

She nodded, shrank back into the room, and turned her 'Sea of Origins' into a mirror, hanging it on the opposite wall.

Looking at the slightly deep mirror, Jiang Baimian smiled and said to herself:

"I thought I could directly see the door leading to the 'New World' in the room."

Speaking of this, she sighed and curled her lips at the mirror:

"There shouldn't be such a good thing in the future...

"If I enter the 'New World', who will move the nuclear bomb to the correct position and use the command at the right time to detonate it?"

While talking to herself, Jiang Baimian had a mocking smile on her lips, not knowing who she was laughing at.

...

At the "Pangu Biology" underground building, Long Yuehong glanced at the door and then looked down at the recorder in his hand.
