Since the construction of the Dyson Sphere and the Artificial Sun, as the earth's climate has returned to the warm and pleasant period before, Dark River Company has also transformed from a land of ice and snow into a lush and vibrant place.
The earth has revived, flowers, plants and trees are also competing in the warm sunshine, and everything is enjoying spring.
The night is quiet and long, and the Undercity Company has ushered in its dazzling and fascinating night. The building with glazed lights, the confusing neon lights, and the dazzling street scene seem to indicate a vibrant Undercity. The company is back.
In Rene's rooftop garden villa, the spacious and bright hall is brightly lit and magnificent. A long square table is placed in the middle of the hall. The square table is covered with a white and elegant tablecloth, and fine wine and delicacies are placed on it.
There are fresh and silky steamed snails, long black truffles in your mouth, crispy and delicious red wine braised chicken, and lip-smacking pan-fried foie gras...
Rene and Masako sat across the table, enjoying this heavenly delicacy under the soft chords of music.
Rene poured a glass of wine, and as the red wine surged on the walls of the glass, the entire hall was filled with a mellow aroma.
He raised his glass and looked at Masako while drinking. In the blink of an eye, he had downed three glasses.
"Do you like these dishes?" Rene waved his hand gently.
"I like it." Masako said softly.
“You know, these are Jenny’s favorite dishes.”
"But I'm not Jenny!"
Rene's wine glass stopped in mid-air. He stared at Masako for a long time with a serious expression.
After a while, he smiled bitterly, then raised his neck and drank all the wine in the glass.
"Do you know why I want to treat you to dinner tonight?" He said, slamming the wine glass on the table.
"have no idea."
"You should know."
Masako picked up a glass of wine and put it into his mouth in one breath. A sneer flashed across his lips: "The last supper before you kill me?"
"You were only half right."
Masako straightened his body and showed a fearless expression: "I don't want to guess anymore, just tell me."
"The last supper between us."
"Then what?"
"Then you will be sent out of Dark River Company."
"Haha..." Masako smiled, her eyebrows filled with questions. She took a sip of wine and then asked, "Why don't you kill me?"
Rene smiled lightly, filled himself another glass of wine, took a deep sip, and then said slowly: "I will not kill someone who has exactly the same words, deeds, and appearance as Jenny."
"Just because I'm similar to her, you won't kill me?"
"Yes! I choose to let you go."
"If I told you that I deliberately imitated Jenny and pretended to show you all of this, would you still insist on your choice?"
"I insist." Rene said with a resolute expression, "No matter what your purpose is, I will stick to my choice."
He took another sip of wine and said, "In fact, I have known your purpose of imitating Jenny's behavior and appearance for a long time."
"Then why don't you expose me?"
"If you are exposed, my Jenny will disappear."
"Are you deceiving and numbing yourself?"
"Haha..." Rene smiled, and he waved his hand to signal her to talk while eating.
She inserted a small piece of truffle and put it into her mouth gracefully. She closed her eyes and carefully tasted the pleasure that the exquisite food brought to her taste buds.
"It's so similar, exactly the same." He sighed.
"Like what?" she asked, opening her eyes.
"It's like Jenny's movements and expressions, so fascinating." He said, staring at her closely, and fell into intoxication...
After a while, he raised his hand and said, "It's you who deceived and paralyzed you, not

Me, because you have unknowingly integrated everything about Jenny into all your actions. "
"But I am me after all, Yamaguchi Masako, right?"
Rene smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If you are just similar to Jenny in appearance and behavior, and you let me choose to get along with you and choose to believe that you are Jenny's reflection, then you are looking down on me too much."
"Then what is it that makes you think that I am Jenny's reflection?"
"Thoughts!" He replied without hesitation, "Before, we had a collision of ideas and a resonance of souls."
"The time you watched Ultraman fight little monsters at the beach?"
"That time was just the beginning, there will be many more times." His eyes looked into the distance, as if he was reminiscing about the beautiful past. After a moment, he withdrew his eyes, "Being with you makes me unconsciously think That’s Jenny in front of me.”
"Since you think I am Jenny, why do you let me go?"
"Because Jenny is dead and it's time for me to wake up."
The hall fell into silence, with only the melodious melody rippling briskly...
The two of them closed their eyes at the same time and listened quietly to the natural sound under the moonlight. The sound seemed like a gurgling spring water, clear and pleasant to the ear.
After a long time, Rene slowly opened his eyes from the soft and gentle melody. He picked up the wine glass and drank it down with Masako.
At the end, he said happily: "I am very grateful to Renault, thank him for allowing me to meet Jenny again in reality. Although he had a strong purpose, and although this Jenny was not Jenny in the real sense, he still brought me happiness. Comes full of memories and endless hope.”
"How to thank him?" Masako asked curiously.
"Thank him as well as I thank you!"
After René finished speaking, a cold light shot out from his eyes, and the cold light pierced Masako's heart, making her full of doubts.
In a car repair shop full of oil, a man wearing jeans with suspenders was lying under the car, beating the chassis of the car with a small hammer in his hand.
After confirming that there was no problem, he got out from under the car and wiped his greasy face. At this moment, his face was even more stained, and he didn't care about anything. Dragging a disabled leg, he limped towards a side. A person who looked like a customer walked over.
He explained the situation of the vehicle to the customer, and then handed the car key to the customer. The customer waved to him with satisfaction and drove away.
The man sat heavily on a recliner. After relaxing his body, he picked up a towel and wiped his face carefully. The oil on his face was wiped away, revealing a weather-beaten but resolute and serious face.
He is Alexander Renault.
Since being framed by Holmes, Reno retired from his post in the F-State Intelligence Agency. After that, he joined a mercenary army and was injured in his leg during a battle, leaving him disabled.
After recovering, he returned to his hometown and opened a car repair shop. Although the work was hard and the income was meager, it was still a place to settle down.
"Bah!" A clear horn sounded through the door of the car repair shop. Renault followed the sound and saw a luxury car parked there. After a while, a group of bodyguards in black got out of the car. One of the bodyguards The car door opened, and a man wearing a hat and well-dressed stepped out of the car.
The person who came took off his hat, and a thin and angular face was revealed. The person who came was none other than Rene.
Rene looked away towards the garage. After a moment, his eyes froze. He met Renault's eyes, and the two looked at each other for a long time, silently and speechlessly.
After staring at each other like this for a few minutes, Renault stood up, dragged his disabled leg and slowly walked towards René, and René also walked towards him in time.
The two sat down at a table made of scrap tires and wooden boards. A woman brought two cups of coffee, one to Rene and the other to Renault.
Rene looked up at the woman, who was in her thirties.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Years old, under the beautiful face is a face that has been invaded by time, and the wrinkles are like dry and cracked ground that lacks nourishment.
"My wife, Anna." Renault said with his head lowered.
Rene nodded politely to Anna, she forced a smile, turned and left.
The two of them stirred their coffee, still speechless.
They both seemed to have a thousand things to say, but they didn't know where to start. They just lowered their heads silently and stirred the coffee that had been spilled...
After a long time, René put down the cup and looked at Renault, but he hesitated to speak.
"Surprised, right?" Renault asked, taking a sip of coffee.
Rene squeezed out a smile from the corner of his mouth, looked around again, and finally fell on Renault's disabled leg. He said sadly: "You would rather join a mercenary and lose a leg than work with me. I Want to know why?"
Renault smiled lightly: "You have abandoned your ideals and betrayed your own country. I disdain to be associated with such a person!"
"You forced all this on me!"
"No one forces you, everything is your own choice."
"Humph!" Rene sneered, his eyes stern and fierce, "If you hadn't forced Jenny to death, maybe I would still be a young man determined to serve the country and a respected scientist!"
"Jenny broke the law, she must die! Besides, no one forced her to die at all, it was all her own fault!"
The atmosphere in the car repair shop suddenly became tense. The two looked at each other angrily, refusing to give in to each other.
A burst of laughter broke the tense silence, and Rene laughed... After laughing, his fierce expression softened a lot. He squinted at Renault and stared at him quietly...
After a moment, he took a sip of coffee and said: "The past cannot be changed. No matter whose fault it is, it can't make up for the fact that I lost Jenny, but there is one thing I have to thank you for."
"Thank me?" Renault said in surprise.
“Yes, it was you who allowed me to see Jenny again. Although she was not Jenny in the real sense, she spent a lot of unforgettable time with me and reminded me of many beautiful past events with Jenny. "
He slowed down and continued: "Although I tried to turn her into the real Jenny, I failed. Maybe this is God's will. God is reminding me that Jenny is dead. She is my only one and no one can Replace her!"
"Are you talking about Yamaguchi Masako?"
Rene nodded: "She is the real reason why I came to you today."
"Where is she now?"
"At Dark River Company."
"You imprisoned her?"
"So, it's just friendly confinement."
"What do you want to do with Yamaguchi Masako?" Renault asked nervously.
"I said that in my mind, no one can replace Jenny, so Yamaguchi Masako must return to her true self, not a fake Jenny."
Renault smiled hoarsely: "You can do this easily, why are you looking for me?"
"Because you are the instigator. You were responsible for plastic surgery and training Yamaguchi Masako into Jenny. Therefore, you have to do it again to transform her back to her true self. This is called going back and forth from where you came."
"Isn't Yamaguchi Masako herself now?"
"No!" René roared, "She has everything like Jenny! Looks, behavior, thoughts, etc. I don't want to see a woman who is exactly the same as Jenny. This makes me very painful!"
Renault looked at him calmly, looking at his ferocious face and hysterical eyes.
After a moment, Renault asked: "Does this make sense?"
"The meaning is that if you do this, in my mind, Yamaguchi Masako is just herself, and Jenny will always be Jenny in my mind, and nothing has happened."
