Very interesting setting, but there are a lot of places that don't make sense

It's very strange, when the old man mainly died and changed his body, he didn't prepare anything for himself? For example, if the body change was unsuccessful, the doctor just lied to him, etc., he believed everything the doctor told him wholeheartedly, and took all the medicines he was given. As a business wizard, billionaire, shouldn't there be some careful logic and vigilance? After successfully changing the body, I can't see the shadow of the former billionaire at all. It is completely the feeling of another person, the behavior and logic of the new body, so the front and back are very separated. If it is an old male protagonist, why must I use it? How about trying his best to protect his mother and daughter who have nothing to do with him? Is it the influence of the new body? And in the process of helping the mother and daughter escape, they also killed a lot of irrelevant people, but are these doctors' subordinates and his laboratory the place to bring the male protagonist back to life? If it weren't for these people, the male protagonist would have died long ago, and he would not have the ability to kill these people. Besides, the doctor didn't kill anyone on purpose. The deal between him and the soldier was originally your own wish. One paid the money, and the other sold his body. Both parties knew it.

And in the end, the male protagonist would rather disappear by himself, but also let the soldier and his wife and daughter live. It can only be understood as the soul and memory of the original soldier, which deeply affected and eroded the memory of the male protagonist and made him make the decision to give up his life. Decided to let the soldiers live.

So later, fleeing and killing people all the way can be understood as more behaviors under the influence of the soldiers, and can no longer be fully regarded as the male protagonist himself. From the point of view of the soldiers, doctors are bad people, causing their families to be separated, but in fact, doctors in disguise have brought more value to the society and made great scientific breakthroughs

Only in this way can it be explained. The male protagonist is willing to give up his life and his daughter's family to give up the right to live.

The brain is too mysterious. If there is a chance to store all memories in another person's body, will the original body and memory affect the new memory? Actually it is unknown
