I am not sick! Neither are my other personalities!

Summary

Zhou Zhen receives a call from "Shi Guang," who informs him that the surgery on Lu Hang Kuan was successful and that they have prepared a second patient for him to practice on. Shi Guang explains the Ember organization's philosophy, asserting that their actions are not about killing but about facilitating a transformation of civilization through mathematical learning. Zhou Zhen questions the morality of the Ember's methods and seeks more information about the organization, but Shi Guang remains evasive about providing a member list. They discuss the fate of Lu Hang Kuan, who was sent into the mathematical Abyssal, and the situation at Qing Quan Gu, where a time-space tunnel has appeared. Shi Guang mentions that while there are small wormholes, there is no elixir of life, but a new type of "human-faced fruit" has emerged. They arrive at a ruined town, where Shi Guang reveals the entrance to the Maqiao isolation point, which he controls, and leads Zhou Zhen to the surgical setup for the upcoming experimental subjects.
