In the bright subway car, Lin Xi was carrying a bag and looking blankly at the flashing indicator lights, and the continuous overtime had made her mind not very flexible. Most of the late returnees in the subway car in the middle of the night are overtime dogs, which is the sadness of metropolitan people.

Lin Xi, who just graduated from college, finally found a job, and was busy earning not much Grandpa Mao every day, with little money, many things, far away from home, but fortunately, he was not dragged down. Since her father died and her mother remarried, a small house in the old town has become her home alone. I don't make much money, but it's enough, and the house is not big, and it's enough to live in. is less than the above, and there is more than the life below, so that Lin Xi, who has no ambitions, is content with the status quo.

Hearing the sound of the machine, Lin Xi stood up and walked towards the subway exit. Out of the subway, across the road, is the old town of S City, just a road apart, but like two worlds. On this side is the brightly lit new town, and on the other side is the dilapidated and shabby old town.

Most of the houses in the old town were built in the fifties and sixties, some of them are still brick and wood structures, with horizontal and vertical power lines on the head, and small advertisements posted on the walls. Shops on both sides of the road have placed tables and chairs on the sidewalks, and all kinds of food stalls are popular, and the road surface is heavily polluted with smoke and smoke accumulated over the years.

Lin Xi handed a twenty yuan bill to the stall owner, "Boss, a piece of fried rice, plus a string of tenderloin." "Okay, do you pack?" the boss asked, taking the money. "That's right!" A few minutes later, the steaming lunch box was delivered to Lin Xi.

Carrying the lunch box, we walked home. Lin Xi's family lives on the fifth floor, and the sensitivity of the voice-activated lights in the corridor is relatively poor, so he stomped hard before the lights came on. When I opened the door, there was an empty hut. Lin Xi ate in twos and threes, and after a simple wash, he glanced at his mobile phone, and it was eleven thirty-five. Lin Xi lay on the bed, brewing sleep. I have work tomorrow and I have to sleep now. The excited brain did not listen to her instructions, Lin Xi turned over and tried to sleep.

When the consciousness is confused, the tip of the nose smells a faint smell of burning. "Who's cooking so carelessly, and it's burned again. Lin Xi, who was about to fall asleep, wondered in her heart, and suddenly, she realized that something was wrong, and jumped up from the bed all of a sudden, it was going to be midnight, who would be able to cook.

When she hurriedly put on her clothes and opened the door, black smoke was already rising from the hallway. Lin Xi subconsciously closed the door, it should be on fire. With such a cognition, Lin Xi's body was trembling, rushed into the bathroom, wet the towel, covered his mouth and nose, and bent forward. This is a skill learned during a fire drill in an office building a few months ago.

Some of the residents had already fled down the corridor, some of them had already discovered the fire and were helping the old and the young to flee for their lives, and some of them were sleeping so deeply that there was no movement in the house. Most of the people who live here are old neighbors for many years, Lin Xi hesitated, but still made a major decision. Every time I go down the floor, I knock on the door of the resident and shout loudly: "Get up, it's on fire!"

When she ran to the second floor, there was already thick smoke billowing from the hallway, and she could faintly see the fire coming from the first floor. When Lin Xi was in a dilemma, she felt that her clothes were being pulled by someone, and when she looked back, it was Mrs. Zhao on the second floor, the old lady lived here alone, she was old, and her legs and feet were not flexible. The old lady covered her mouth and nose with one hand, and pulled the corner of Lin Xi's clothes with the other. Looking at the old lady's begging eyes, Lin Xi understood her intentions, gritted her teeth, Lin Xi grabbed her arm with one hand, covered her mouth and nose with the other, and rushed into the smoke, this road has been walked for so many years, Lin Xi can walk out with his eyes closed.

Going out with a person with inflexible legs, Lin Xi's speed slowed down a lot, and finally rushed out of the black smoke, Lin Xi wanted to take a good breath of fresh air, but after walking out of the iron gate for three or two steps, she felt that it was dark in front of her and fell down.

When she regained consciousness, a wonderful scene appeared before her eyes. A woman lies quietly on a hospital bed, her face covered with an oxygen mask, various tubes connected to her body, and an ECG monitor is working. The person lying on the hospital bed is a person Lin Xi is extremely familiar with, isn't this himself?

The other Lin Xi felt that she was floating in the air, even if she spoke loudly, no one could hear her shout, she tried to grab her hand, but her hand could only pass through the object.

Lin Xi swallowed his saliva, still unable to understand his current state. At this moment, a cold mechanical voice came: "Do you see yourself?"

"Who, who's talking?" Lin Xi, who was startled by the voice, looked around, surrounded by unconscious patients except for medical equipment. Just listen to the mechanical voice prompting: "Stretch out your hand, and you will see me." ”

Lin Xi subconsciously stretched out his right hand, and a screen appeared in his palm, about the size of a PAID, and a Q version of the blue-purple ball appeared on the screen, blinking his cute eyes, and looking at Lin Xi.

"Who are you?" Lin Xi was cute by this pattern, and the seemingly harmless appearance made Lin Xi's vigilance relax.

"I'm Brain 74026, you can also call me Evan. You are a lucky person who was chosen by the Brain for your kindness and bravery, and now it is up to me to help you get back to health. Ivan said the last sentence that moved Lin Xi, of course, Lin Xi is not stupid, there is no free lunch in the world, Lin Xi asked cautiously: "What conditions do you have?"

It was still the cold mechanical voice: "You now enter the mission selection system, if you abandon the mission, you will remain unconscious, if you are sure to accept the mission, as long as you complete the specified task, you can recover your health." Now, you can choose to accept or give up. ”

Lin Xi is not a smart girl, but the caution she should have made her understand that this is a major decision and cannot be impulsive. She thought for a long time and asked, "What kind of mission is it?" Before accepting the mission, Evan had nothing to say. ”

Lin Xi thought about it for a ......while, and Lin Xi asked, "What will happen if the mission fails?"

The mechanical voice sounded again: "Please look!" What to see, Lin Xi didn't understand, but soon she understood, the ECG monitor sent out an alarm sound, the screen showed an irregular beating red line, doctors and nurses rushed to come, and after a busy pass, Lin Xi's heartbeat on the hospital bed returned to normal.

Lin Xi here was dumbfounded, fear and anger surged into his heart, Lin Xi stared at the screen and glared angrily at the small round ball. Evan was not intimidated by Lin Xi at all, and let out a cold voice, "Now you can choose to accept or give up." Now please select. ”

Two buttons appeared on the screen, Lin Xi was helpless, if he chose to give up, it meant that he would be in a coma forever, and he might still not be able to wake up in the end; if he accepted the task, he would be wiped out if he couldn't complete the task. After a few struggles, she gently pressed the accept button. After a flicker on the screen, a string of numbers popped up, and before Lin Xi could see what it was, she appeared in the hospital.

However, this hospital is not the other hospital, this hospital is obviously much simpler, with simple white walls, a few fluorescent tubes overhead, and the bed where Lin Xi lies is the simplest wooden bed, such an environment is like a township hospital.

Soon, Lin Xi understood, because the mechanical voice sounded again: "Congratulations, you have won the rescue mission." Now your identity is a knowledgeable youth, also called Lin Xi, just came to Qingshan Village from S City, because he was in a car accident on the way here, and is now being treated in the hospital, at present, you are recuperating, I will issue a task when it is appropriate, as long as you complete all the tasks, you can return to your own world. With that, it was gone. Lin Xi came to a strange environment, instinctively had a sense of fear, feeling that he had a stomach of questions to ask, but no matter how she called, Evan never appeared.

Lin Xi feels very bad now, he is like a marionette, at the mercy of others, no, he is at the mercy of the system. She looked at herself now, her left hand was bandaged, her legs were still wrapped in gauze, and a faint pain came, and it seemed that the injury was not light. At present, she can only lie on the bed and remain silent, the unfamiliar environment makes her dare not speak easily, if she is exposed, it will cause big trouble. Lin Xi, who had difficulty even turning over, secretly scolded the system countless times, it was too cheating, couldn't he cross over to a normal body?

A round-faced nurse walked in, saw Lin Xi, and walked to her bed with a smile: "Lin Zhiqing, you can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, and someone will come to pick you up then." ”

Lin Xi searched the memory of the original owner, and didn't remember the name of the nurse, so he had to respond with a smile: "Okay, thank you." ”

The round-faced nurse nodded, and went back to serving the other patients. Lin Xi continued to lie quietly and began to search for the memories of the original owner. I don't know if it's because of the injury, Lin Xi can't get many memories. This Lin Xi is also from S City, and came to Qingshan Village to go to the countryside to be an educated youth. The vehicle that sent them broke down and crashed into the mountain wall, and Lin Xi, who was sitting on the outermost, was thrown out of the car, resulting in a fractured left arm and was sent to the hospital, where she has been lying in the hospital for five days, and it seems that she is going to take her back to Qingshan Village. Wait, educated youth, this is a unique term in the sixties and seventies, that is to say, Lin Xi came to the era of educated youth going to the countryside.

Lin Xi doesn't know much about this era, and one thing is certain, that is, this is an era of scarcity of materials and the need for ticket supply. Lin Xi got up, the pain in her legs made her a little clumsy when she walked, there were a few wooden benches in the corridor, and several family members of patients sat on the benches and chatted. Judging from the clothing, it is really the style of clothing in the sixties and seventies. Passing by a doctor's office, Lin Xi glanced at the wall calendar on the wall, September 15, 1973.
