Chapter Three: Don't Look Back

In a side mirror, Cheng saw the double approaching in his coat, Xu Man's phone in hand. Her voice came over speaker. “Don't trust the woman! Her records say she died at Baiyu three years ago!” Shen Jing faltered. The double closed in. “Turn and see me. Don't you want to know which of us is the copy?” Watching the car windows, Cheng punched backward and struck his own face. The double fell, rose, and lunged for Shen Jing instead. At 1:22:30, one hundred meters remained. The girl fell behind him. “Ge!” He stopped.
