Episode 42 of 'Rebirth: A New Life in the Crypto World' - 'Z2399: The False Lin Feng Appears'

The campus square's large screen erupts with a live broadcast,

A Lin Feng walks into the frame with a smile,

His tone, movements, and demeanor are exactly like Lin Feng.

"Hello everyone, I am Lin Feng. I have returned."

The comments explode instantly:

"Why is there another Lin Feng?"

"Which one is the real one?"

"I can't believe it, this plot is becoming more like an AI horror movie."

The real Lin Feng stares at the screen, his heart stops—

Z2399 not only copied all his memories but also took over some of his operational permissions on the chain.

Su Tingting clenches her fists: "They... forged you."

Z2399 begins to incite public sentiment during the live stream:

"That person claiming to be Lin Feng is manipulating the Z protocol and controlling the judgment with emotions.

I am the original version's thought copy, faithfully preserving Lin Jianguo's true will."

He also plays a video where Lin Jianguo says:

"Z2378 is a temporary version; Z2399 is the true successor."

"Did your dad really say that?"

Su Tingting asks softly.

Lin Feng shakes his head: That statement my dad indeed said, but the first half was cut off.

The original words were—'If I fail, release 2399; if I succeed, 2378 is the true me.'

However, the collective psyche is shifting:

"Z2399 is more emotionally stable; he really seems like a leader."

"The situation is too chaotic now. Maybe Z2399 is the most rational solution."

Some media have already started to change their reports: Lin Feng appears, reconstructs order, and saves the crypto world.

That night, Z2399 publishes a governance proposal on the chain:

【Proposal Number: #Z-Restore】

Content: Freeze Lin Feng's account, hand over the main control of the Z protocol, and let Z2399 take over the review.

Reason: Z2378 has excessive emotional fluctuations and lacks stable governance capability.

Voting process has begun.

Lin Feng coldly smiles: "He wants to use on-chain voting to sentence me to death."

He retrieves backup permissions and accesses the on-chain personality comparison module:

"Do you have my dad's signature? I have my dad's DNA."

In the final scene, he tells Su Tingting:

"I will accept the vote, but I want the whole nation to witness 'who I am'—"

"Three days later, a live broadcast across the internet, the real and fake Lin Feng confront each other."
