Shen Mu lived for twenty-eight years before he realized that he was a "container".
For as long as she can remember, her twin sister Shen Chao has been lying in a hospital bed, relying on her regular blood transfusions and stem cell transplants to stay alive. The mother said this was a sacrifice that sisters should make. The doctor said it was a medical miracle. Shen Chao said, "Twilight, you are my light."
Until Shen Mu began to forget his birthday, but remembered all the medical record numbers of Shen Chao;
Until she saw her sister's French signature in the corner of the strange garden she had drawn;
Until she discovered that after each donation, Shen Chao's condition would "miraculously improve", and her style of painting, preferences, and even the tone of her speech became more and more like the person in the hospital bed.
It turns out that what the mother signed back then was not a consent form for treatment, but an authorization for a consciousness transfer experiment.
It turns out that every blood transfusion "downloads" Shen Chao's consciousness deeper into her brain.
It turns out that she is not a donor, but a petri dish.
When the attending doctor handed over the final choice:
A. Donate your kidney to accelerate fusion and become a "complete Shen Chao";
B. Undertake high-risk nerve stripping surgery, both of them may become a vegetative state.
Shen Mu picked up the pen and signed the consent form——
But he watched his hand write "rejection" in French uncontrollably.
Some symbiosis begins in the womb.
Some murders don't even require blood.
Intention: Sin will not disappear through sacrifice, but will only mutate into a more hidden symbiotic form. The real punishment is not death, but living forever in that unfinished operation as a "survivor."
