In a simple partition room, Chen Xing was lying on the bed staring at the ceiling with blank eyes, his facial muscles were constantly twitching, as if crying, laughing, and ecstatic, and his originally handsome face was extremely stupid at this time.

"Or this damn low-rent house, or this damn place, and an even more damn landlord, why, did I have a nightmare that lasted for three years? But why are the things in the dream so real, the real ones make people break their hearts, and the real ones make people feel as painful as pulling bones and sucking the marrow. Chen Xing stroked the shabby sheets under him and muttered to himself, but his voice couldn't help but tremble, and his mind kept thinking of the miserable life of the past two years in the "dream".

In the dream, the twenty-four-year-old Chen Xing was embarrassed to go home after graduating from college to eat the few family funds of his parents, so he decided to go to the big city to have a good time, but unfortunately, the ideal is very beautiful, such as being raised by a rich woman, saving a dignitary and getting rich overnight, etc., but he always felt that his life was relatively back, and he did not encounter any good things in his imagination, and the money in his pocket became less and less, and in the end he could only nest in a small house that was divided into five or six rooms by the landlord.

Until something that could predict the remaining life appeared, and predicted that Chen Xing only had more than 100 days left to live, the tragedy began, he had already suffered from brain cancer, and what was even more desperate was that he had entered an advanced stage.

Because of chronic advanced brain cancer, he fell into depravity and lost hope in life, but the appearance of the game made him rekindle his hope again, and entered the game with the belief that he would get a life crystal to prolong his life, but how could it be so easy to get the precious life crystal?

In order to prolong his life and keep the remaining life for more than 100 days, his parents sold their house, begged relatives and friends to borrow money, and they didn't know how much they were cold, and finally sent him to the capital hospital for chemotherapy, but chemotherapy is not diluted methamphetamine at all, and he can never leave it after touching it once, because as long as he is alive, he has to be treated continuously, and from that day on, the money that his parents have worked hard to accumulate all his life has flowed out like flowing water, and the debts are increasing, and people are getting thinner and older.

And this switch is just that Chen Xing lived for three more years, experienced three more years of illness and torture, when all the money was exhausted and the disease became more and more serious, Chen Xing's lifespan finally fell below a hundred days and was kicked out of the game.

At that time, because of multiple chemotherapy treatments, his originally healthy skin became pale and bloodless, his black hair had already fallen out, his eyes were scattered like a walking corpse, and he was already on a hunger strike because he had completely lost the belief in living.

Until now, Chen Xing still remembers that two emaciated figures stood by the bedside with tears in their eyes, comforting and cheering themselves up softly, telling him not to give up hope, and saying that even if he sold blood and kidneys, he would find the best experts to cure him.

Looking at the two parents who were originally less than fifty years old, but their temples were pale and wrinkled at this time, Chen Xing slowly closed his eyes with guilt and remorse, and at that moment, there was a heart-rending cry faintly in his ears.

"Why am I alive, why am I back three years ago, back in this damn room." Chen Xing's eyes were red, tears couldn't help but welled up, he didn't want to see his parents' expressions full of self-blame, he didn't want to see his parents running around miserably for himself to become thinner and thinner, at that age, he should have enjoyed the happy time of family fun and teasing his grandson, but it was broken by his own life.

"Is it really just a nightmare?" Feeling a faint pain in his head, as if something was about to come out, he had experienced this feeling too many times, it was the process of brain lesions, in the "dream", at this time, the brain cancer had entered an advanced stage, and the best time for treatment had already been missed.

"Why am I still alive? Why start over? At this moment, Chen Xing suddenly roared like crazy, clenching his fists tightly, but he didn't know why, he actually had a feeling of happiness in his heart, and he was glad to be able to start over.

Chen Xing frantically pounded the bed board, his face full of tangled expressions like crying and laughing.

"Bang bang bang!" At this moment, there was an impatient knock on the door: "What's crazy, you will pay for smashing the bed board, today is August 18th, when will the rent be paid, don't stand in the pit and don't shit, if you can't pay the rent, get out of here, some people are waiting to move in." ”

Listening to this annoying voice, Chen Xing turned over and rushed out, slammed the door open, and glared at the fat landlord with red eyes and gritted teeth, looking desperate.

The fat landlord obviously didn't react, this little rascal who came to collect rent in the past was always like a dead pig holding back and pretending that there was no one in the house, why was it so fast this time?

Wondering, the fat landlord squinted his eyes and just wanted to teach Chen Xing a few words, but he saw a fierce and vicious face, and suddenly froze, "What, it's been almost three months, I'm here to remind you to pay the rent as soon as possible, right...... That's it, I'm busy, let's go first. After that, the fat body ran upstairs very quickly.

Chen Xing suppressed the urge to rush up and flatten the fat man, turned around without saying a word, and slammed the door again.

"Wait! Today is the eighteenth? Chen Xing was suddenly stunned, then turned around and ran a few steps to turn on the only electrical TV in the room, staring at the TV screen extremely nervously.

The old and dilapidated TV footage appeared very slowly, and it took five seconds for the sound to come out.

"A few days ago, 12 countries including China, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan jointly launched a scientific research product that is 500 years ahead of today's science and technology, called the life timer, as long as you wear the life timer, you can calculate the remaining life of each person, and at the same time, with the life timer, you can enter an online game called 'evolution'."

"Let's see the reporter's on-the-spot interview."

Then the picture turned, this is a hospital, the reporter came to a patient, and took out a thing that looked like a steel ring for the patient to carry on the wrist, it is unbelievable that the original wide steel ring was reduced little by little, and finally firmly attached to the patient's wrist, just like a tattoo without distinguishing each other.

The next moment, the steel ring emitted a faint white light, and in just three seconds or so, the front of the steel ring showed a red number, 74.

Reporter: "At this time, the thing that Mr. Zhang is carrying is a life timer, and the number that appears on it is the remaining life of Mr. Zhang, I am very sorry, Mr. Zhang, do you think you only have 74 days to live, is this credible?" ”

Mr. Zhang's face was a little pale, but he didn't overreact, just smiled bitterly: "I am already in the terminal stage of cancer, and I already know that I only have three months to live at most. Saying that, he shook his head and looked at the so-called life timer in his hand: "Maybe it's true, but I don't know if the appearance of this thing is good or bad, life is unpredictable, and a countdown suddenly appears on the arm, I'm afraid it will be unacceptable to many people." ”

Then the picture turned again, one by one reporters interviewed the trial crowd, among them, seeing that they were still decades of life, some showed a satisfied smile, and some did not seem to believe it at all.

And people who see that they only have a few years or even a few months to live react differently, some of them collapse on the spot, some of them show a fierce face and threaten to rob and rape, and they do all the things they dare not do in their lives and want to do, and some are more calm and just smile.

The picture on TV turned again, but this time it was not an interview with a reporter, but a beautiful, shocking and fantastical scene. The picture is full of fairyland-like mountains and rivers and valley springs, and the quiet lake surface is rippling like a virgin, this scenery makes all the people who see it peaceful and full of a sense of peace, but the next moment, the calm lake suddenly breaks, and a monster suddenly appears, with a hideous head full of barbs, like the teeth of a king-size saw blade, all of which reflect the ferocity, and what makes people's hearts beat faster is that the monster's blood-red eyes like copper bells are staring straight at the TV camera, It seems that at any moment it may break through the shackles of television and pounce on the audience not far away.

The picture turns again, the clear sky is cloudless, occasionally a small black dot crosses, the camera follows up, the black dot is magnified, but it is a monster with several heads flying through the sky, this monster should be three or four meters long, hanging its head and looking down at the earth, as if looking for prey, showing off its claws, but the next moment, the claws that have been bigger appear, carrying the three or four meters long monster like a chicken and swallowing it in one gulp, blood is left along the gap between the teeth, dripping from the air.

The monster only had a head, but it gave it a sense of déjà vu.

The picture opens, and the full picture of this monster finally appears, with a head with horns... Covered with scales... Wings as huge as a bat... Slender tail....

It's actually a legendary dragon!!

At this point, the sci-fi picture on TV ended, and the news host still introduced with a faint smile: "The picture you saw before is the picture in the evolution of life in the online game, and as long as you pass the life timer, you can make consciousness enter the game." ”

"Times are changing, technology has changed everything, this online game is no longer a flat computer game, but allows people to truly immerse themselves in the scene, to experience the mystery of another world, and experience an extraordinary life."

"What's even more surprising is that through the game, we can get a variety of spars, such as life spars, which can increase our vitality, play a miraculous effect of prolonging life, and truly let a person get a long and long life, and the emergence of this online game is recognized as a miracle of life by all scientists in the world."

"So, as long as you have a life timer in hand, your life is always in your own hands."

"Here, I would like to remind everyone that the remaining life presented by the life timer is only the life span of the physical condition at this time, accidental death or serious injury will be unpredictable, and at the same time, there will be a penalty of life reduction for death in the game, so I hope everyone plays peacefully to avoid disputes in the game that consume life for no reason."

At this time, a row of conspicuous subtitles appeared at the bottom of the screen: "The life timer will be distributed worldwide for free at 2 p.m. tomorrow, ID cards are required, please be prepared." ”

At this moment, perhaps the people all over the world who just got the news were stunned, and they couldn't accept this absurd news for a while, and the originally noisy streets became silent, and everyone was digesting this sudden shock, as if time stood still, and the whole world stopped running.

However, there was no shock in Chen Xing's eyes, there was only a complex emotion that was clear and indescribable: "It's the same, it's really exactly the same as the experience in the dream, am I reborn?" Or go back in time to three years ago. ”

"Can you really do it all over again? Will my ending change, will my parents' ending change? At this time, Chen Xing was very entangled, according to the memory in the dream, he is now in the advanced stage of brain cancer, and with the current level of medicine, he may be able to cure a few percent, but he has no money, and he doesn't want to be like the dream of his parents, who are heartbroken and dismiss after giving birth.

"What should I do?"
