It was past three o'clock in the morning on the night of July 27, and many years later, Bai Ji still felt that it was an impossible nightmare.

He heard the shrill sound of brakes, smelled the pungent smell of burning, and saw the friction of the car body splashing insolently flamed iron filings on the road.

Isn't it? A heavy motorcycle traveling at over 250 kilometers per hour rolled over on its side and crashed into the guardrail of the road, shattering when it boarded. Bai Ji saw the head of the car flying into the night sky like a wild horse, the moon was very round, but it was a large area of bright red.

On that night, Bai Ji was indeed dead.

When his head flew out, he could even see his body rotting into a puddle.

Everything was like a white horse passing by, and Bai Ji couldn't help but recall everything in his life.

Is it ordinary? Crazy?

Is it erosive?

It didn't matter, he felt like his nostrils were blistering with blood, and his eyelids were getting heavier.

Just die, he thought.

Then he was swallowed up by the sudden coolness and darkness.

I don't know how long it took, Bai Ji suddenly felt a heart-piercing pain in his heart, and the whole person woke up from the boundless darkness. The lights were so bright that he couldn't see anything at all the first moment he opened his eyes.

But Bai Ji could feel that whether it was his hands and feet or his head, they were all very normal where they should be.

"Am I not dead?"

What happened just now was by no means a hallucination, Bai Jike remembered it clearly - at 2:40, he drove his "Growler" on the Ring Road. WITH A DISPLACEMENT OF 1000CC, THIS HEAVY MOTORCYCLE, WHICH HAS EXHAUSTED ALL HIS SAVINGS, IS SIMPLY A MONSTER DORMANT IN THE MODERN CITY.

How many kilometers did he drive in the end? Two hundred and seventy or two hundred and eighty? Anyway, I didn't open three hundred. But the important thing is that Bai Jiqing clearly remembers that he is dead!

But what's going on?

Bai Ji patted his temples vigorously, he felt that something was echoing in his skull, the sound made him dizzy, and almost made him vomit several times, but he still swallowed a few more mouthfuls of saliva.

"The limb has been successfully recovered, the target has regained signs of life, the body function is intact, and the system has been successfully implanted. The system is booting up, and the system has finished booting. There was a strange mechanical voice in Bai Ji's head.

"Your old life is dead, and the new life is mine. If you have any objections, I can cast you back into the void, do you accept my existence? The cold mechanical voice continued, Bai Ji was a little confused, and then the voice added: "To live or die again, the decision is in your hands." ”

"Live." Bai Ji thought about it without thinking, and he didn't know if the mechanical voice had successfully received Bai Ji's feedback, and disappeared inexplicably. At the same time, the disgusting dazzle in Bai Ji's head finally disappeared.

After the nausea gradually subsided, Bai Ji finally saw the situation around him clearly.

It's not the wide road that killed him, it's not the operating room filled with the smell of disinfectant water, it's just a richly decorated clothing store. Some shiny skirts were placed on the shelves, shining brightly, making Bai Ji feel unusually fake.

He struggled to get up from the ground, and as soon as he stood still, an inexplicable voice came from his head again, but this time not the cold, lifeless mechanical voice, but a clearer, even sweeter, girl's voice.

"I'm your system Xiao Ai, please give me more advice in the future." The girl said.

"Xiao Ai?" Bai Ji couldn't help frowning, "Is it the AI Xiaoai classmate of a certain smart product?" ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as Bai Ji said this, the voice in his head actually snorted a little angrily, and then replied cutely: "People are the top intelligent systems, not simple response tools developed by your humans." And I can tell you, you'd better not make people angry, and I'll be in your mind from today until you die. ”

As soon as he heard the word "death", Bai Ji, who had finally sobered up for half a minute, fell into confusion again. Xiao Ai seemed to sense Bai Ji's confusion, and sighed: "That's right, biologically speaking, you are indeed dead. ”

As soon as these words fell, a series of pictures suddenly appeared in Bai Ji's mind like a game CG, from him driving on the ring road to his overturning car and flying out of the ring road, everything was played clearly like a Blu-ray movie.

Seeing "himself" die, Bai Ji didn't know what to say, but he felt mixed feelings in his heart. He had suspected that it was just a dream, or some kind of high-tech reality show, after all, the mechanical sound in his head could also be created by some means.

But when Bai Ji really saw the scene of his death in his mind, he immediately made up his mind - he was indeed dead, and he had been dragged into a terrible event by some system that could not be explained by contemporary technology, and if he could not fulfill the requirements that the system made to him, he would immediately die again.

It's like the plot of some web novel or science fiction movie.

After a long time, Bai Ji finally asked, "Since I am already dead, what am I now?" ”

"Strictly speaking, the current you are just a copy of your old self." Xiao Ai said bluntly, "But in fact, there is no difference between you in the past and you now, in your human terms, your soul has been stuffed into a new shell." And you have to understand that this shell has been reshaped according to your previous template. ”

"So I'm alive, this is the real world, not some hell?"

"Indeed." "But your life has changed completely. ”

Bai Ji nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "What about you?" What kind of existence are you? ”

"I've already told you before, I'm Xiao Ai of the intelligent system!" Xiao Ai said angrily.

"No, I mean, what is the purpose of your existence?" Bai Ji touched his chin.

"An assistant to help you stay alive." Xiao Ai replied.

"So you resurrected me?" Bai Ji couldn't help but ask.

This time, Xiao Ai did not answer Bai Ji's question directly, but sighed faintly and said: "You will understand these things later, now look at what is different about you." ”

In fact, there was no need for Xiao Ai to remind him, Bai Ji had already noticed that in addition to the strange sound in his head, he also had a strange electronic watch in his hand. This electronic watch is very technological in design, with a high-tech display on the front and a complete black metal bracelet that is fastened tightly and has no openings, not so much a watch as a display in the hand.

"Like me, this watch is relevant for the rest of your life, and it has all sorts of wonderful functions, one of which is access. Now you can try to trigger the function with your mind, the warehouse function of the watch. Xiao Ai explained.

Triggering the watch with your mind? This sounded like a science fiction movie, Bai Ji just leaned his consciousness slightly towards the watch, and an online game-like page immediately appeared in his mind. The page is full of blank cells, but one of the cells has a pistol in it.

Bai Ji recognized this pistol, this was the Desert Eagle, and it was amazingly powerful, both in the game and in reality.

Before Xiao Ai could continue, Bai Ji's heart moved, and a bright silver pistol immediately appeared out of thin air in his right hand.

Not only Bai Ji, but even the intelligent system Xiao Ai was taken aback.

"You, you, you! It's the highest quality newcomer I've ever seen! Xiao Ai exclaimed.

Bai Ji tilted his head, twisted the hand that didn't seem to belong to him, and then replied very calmly: "I seem to have ...... before"

That's right, from death to rebirth, from the mechanical sound in the head to the appearance of Xiao Ai, and now from the functional watch to take out the pistol. Hakuki was surprised by everything that was happening, but what surprised him even more was that his body, mind, and even consciousness had an extreme sense of adaptation to these bizarre events that were happening.

Like he'd been through before!

"Anyway, let's live first." Xiao Ai said, "Newcomers have only one task, and that is to use all the resources available to them to return to the hotel alive." I'll put the specific mission requirements and route on your watch later, and if you make it back to the hotel alive, I'll explain the situation to you in detail. ”

"Finally, I wish you a happy hunt and look straight at death."

After saying this, Bai Ji could clearly feel that the intelligence named "Xiao Ai" was removed from his brain. Although he quickly accepted the setting of a certain system implanted in his head, Bai Ji still couldn't figure out the current situation.

Let's go back to that hotel according to what Xiao Ai said, Xiao Ai also made it very clear that as long as she can return to that hotel alive, she will explain it to herself. Thinking about it, the screen of the white watch suddenly lit up, and the words "7/27" and "3:40" were displayed on it.

It seems that the time from his "death" to his "rebirth" is not long, but Bai Ji feels that he has been sinking in the dark for a long time. But these are not the point now, just now Xiao Ai said that she will put the task requirements and routes on the watch, presumably other functions of the watch also need to be triggered by the mind.

Just thinking about it, the watch's display was flipped to the next page. Bai Ji could clearly see the text scrolling on the display: Your old life is dead, the new life belongs to me, if you want to live, please enter the hotel before 6 o'clock in the morning on July 27 and become a resident of the hotel.

If you are unable to enter the hotel on time, We will grant you the gift of relief.

Here's a map.
