Reborn to take over the stage 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 61 - 챕터 70

Darkness swallowed the facility.Ethan could hear only the sound of his own breathing.Then a voice came through the darkness.Hello, brother.Jason grabbed Ethan's arm.Don't move.A single light came on.The other Ethan stood at the end of the corridor.He looked exactly like Ethan.Same face.Same height.Same eyes.But there was something different about him.His expression was completely emotionless.Ethan stared at him.Who are you?The other Ethan smiled.You already know.No, I don't.You will.Evelyn stepped forward.Enough.The clone looked at her.You kept me hidden for years.I kept you alive.You kept me imprisoned.Because you weren't ready.The clone laughed.Neither was he.He pointed at Ethan.But you sent him into the world.Ethan looked at Evelyn.What is he talking about?Evelyn sighed.His name is Ethan-0.He was created from your original consciousness.Ethan's heart sank.You cloned me?Not exactly.Your consciousness was used as the template.Ethan-0 stepped cl

The countdown continued.04:59:5904:59:58Ethan stared at the screen.Five hours.His grandfather stood at the other end of the train with armed soldiers surrounding him.Give me Evan, he said calmly.Ethan shook his head.No.Then you condemn millions of people.Evan stepped forward.You created me. Why are you afraid of me?His grandfather looked at him.Because I know what you are capable of becoming.Evan's expression hardened.You don't know me.I know your design.That's not the same thing.For the first time, Ethan saw anger in Evan's eyes.Real anger.Human anger.His grandfather noticed it too.Interesting.Ethan stepped between them.He's not a machine.He's my brother.His grandfather sighed.You keep using that word.Because it matters.Suddenly, Rose grabbed Ethan's arm.Wait.She looked toward the soldiers.One of them isn't real.Ethan frowned.What?Rose pointed.The man standing behind your grandfather.He isn't human.The soldier slowly lifted his head.His eyes tur

The words remained frozen across every screen in the tower. ASCENSION WILL BEGIN IN 60 MINUTES. Ethan stared at the older man standing at the center of the chamber. The man had his face. Not similar. Not close. His face. The same dark eyes. The same sharp jaw. The same small scar above his eyebrow. But there was something different in his expression. Age. Pain. And a terrible kind of exhaustion. Ethan stepped forward. You said you are the original Ethan. The older man nodded. Before Project Rebirth. Before the clones. Before you were born into the life you remember. Jason moved beside Ethan, his fists tightening. Then what the hell are we? The older Ethan looked at Jason. You are real. His gaze moved to Rose. You are real. Then to Evan. And you are real too. Evan stared at him with an expression Ethan had never seen before. Fear. If I am a copy, then why do you look at me like that? The older Ethan did not answer immediately. Because you were never supposed

Ethan could not move.He stared at the three people standing before him.Richard.Elena.The original Ethan.But none of them were looking at him.They were looking behind him.Ethan slowly turned.At first, there was nothing.Only darkness.Then the darkness moved.A shape began forming in the distance.It had no clear face, no body, no recognizable form. It looked like millions of memories compressed into one living shadow.Rose grabbed Ethan's arm.What is that?Richard answered without taking his eyes from the creature.The reason everything started.Jason stepped forward.You mean the Architect?Richard shook his head.No.The Architect was only the man who opened the door.Ethan's heart pounded.Then what is that?Elena finally looked at him.The first consciousness.Ethan frowned.You said the original Ethan was the first.He was the first human consciousness to enter the system.Elena's voice trembled.But the system was already alive.The shadow moved closer.Every step it too

Ethan stared at the photograph.For several seconds, he could not understand what he was seeing.The baby in Elena's arms was Evan.Not a laboratory copy.Not a consciousness template.Not Ethan-0.Evan.Beside Elena stood Richard, younger than Ethan had ever known him.And behind them was Evelyn.But the photograph contained something else.Written across the bottom in faded ink were four words.Subject One — Evan Blake.Ethan looked at Richard.You said Evan was created before I was born.Richard nodded.I lied.Ethan's chest tightened.Why?Because your grandfather made me promise.Jason stepped forward.What exactly are you saying?Richard looked at Evan.He was never created in a laboratory.He was born.The room became silent.Rose covered her mouth.Ethan looked toward Evan, who was still unconscious on the floor.Then why doesn't he remember?Richard swallowed.Because his memories were removed.Ethan felt anger rising.Who removed them?Richard looked at Evelyn.She did.Evely
