It's a game, a game where the winner can grant any wish and the loser loses everything.

At night, the clouds were thick, and the stars and moon were nowhere to be seen.

"Three years...... It's been three years...... I'll definitely find you! The fireworks went out on his fingertips, and the man stood on the roof of the tallest building in the city. The bloodshot eyes showed a strange tenacity hidden under the tired look.

The hem of his trench coat rattled in the night breeze, and two old-fashioned pistols loomed around his waist. And behind him, under the rooftop, is an abyss beyond sight!

With a flick of his fingers, the fireworks fell into the abyss with a little glimmer of light.

A metallic card engraved with a genetic double helix appeared out of thin air in front of him, and a line of small words emerged:

Countdown to 30 seconds!

The man took the last puff of his cigarette and threw down the cigarette butt.

The card disappears.

For a moment, in the deathly silence, a discordant voice rang out.

"Smack! Smack! In the empty corridor, the strange sound of slapping basketball approached little by little.

The man's brows instantly twisted into the word "Chuan", irritability, incomparable irritability boiling in the bottom of his heart. If someone could look closely at his pupils at this time, they would be able to see the fear hidden in the depths of the pupils under the irritability! And the hidden madness!

Licking his dry and chapped lips, the man's eyes stared straight at the only barrier between the stairs and the rooftop—the door!

"Smack! Syllable! The sound of the basketball slapping stopped abruptly, but the man knew in his heart that the fearful thing had arrived! Right behind this door!

The man anxiously pinched the stopwatch timer of the stopwatch in his hand, his eyes flickered, and even the "damn" that he had been muttering in his mouth stopped.

"Chicken, you're so beautiful! oh，baby！ "Strange music suddenly played, but it was not at all like the music that should be in the world, like crying and complaining, and like the ghost of the underground soul seeking his life.

"Backward is the abyss, forward is Nirvana! Damn, fight! Looking at the blood-colored black shadow that was about to float through the door, the man's gaze as he swept the stopwatch timer in his hand appeared with determination.

Moment! The smell of decay lingered on the tip of his nose, and the man jumped with all his strength and soared high into the air.

Then it fell like a piece of paper fluttering in the wind...... Fall......

The sound of the wind whistled in his ears, and the man turned his head to look at the edge of the rooftop, staring at him in the blurred shadows.

Dead dead ~

With just one glance, the man could feel the soul-freezing malice in his eyes.

"Ahh Roaring, the man stretched out his limbs in the air, his eyes closed, two old-fashioned pistols in his hands constantly tilting towards the ground like a flood of bullets.

The gunfire was deafening, and the speed at which the man fell was slightly relieved by the recoil.

In 5 seconds, just as the man could already feel the dirt sensation of the tip of his nose touching the ground, the scene switched.

"Congratulations, Player: Tang Xuan, have cleared the newcomer challenge level: Abandoned Building!"

"Task difficulty: D+, 100% completion of the main quest in this scene, comprehensive evaluation: B-"

"Mission reward: 2000 in-game coins, 1 gene point, real-world time: 7 days."

It was so cold that the voice broadcast without a trace of emotion ended, and Tang Xuan opened his closed eyes.

"Bang dang!" Perhaps because he hadn't recovered from the previous feeling of falling, Tang Xuan, who suddenly opened his eyes, stumbled and fell off the chair he was sitting on.

"Newcomer, good performance." A sweet voice sounded in his ears, like a banshee, "It's rare that no newcomer has survived the challenge level in the first mission, and it's still 100% complete." Looks like we're going to have to get acquainted again, my name is Bailing, your novice guide. ”

Tang Xuan's pupils contracted when his butt landed on the ground, and it took a while for him to come back to his senses from the words of the bewitching woman in front of him, and he did not shy away from holding the woman's outstretched hand and getting up with strength.

The woman's face suddenly approached, exhaling like an orchid, and her voice was sultry: "How is it, this game is fun, right?" ”

"Huh." Turning his head, Tang Xuan said expressionlessly, "As you wish, I have cleared this so-called novice trial, can you tell me about it." ”

"What's that...... You've guessed it, haven't you? Bai Ling covered his mouth and chuckled, "Instead of focusing on the story of a dead man, why not think about how to spend this hard-won game currency, right?" ”

"After deducting the 100 game coins advanced by these two guns, the remaining 1900 game coins will help me exchange 900 game coins in cash, thank you." Tang Xuan smiled and didn't answer directly, but from his determined eyes, Bai Ling had already understood something.

"It's a stone in the toilet, it stinks and it's hard. The current exchange ratio of in-game currency is 1:1000 cash, deducting 10% of the handling fee, which is your 810,000 cash. Bai Ling pursed his lips, his face was a little angry, "Put it away, this card is already bound to your identity, as for how to use it, when you get out of here, the card will naturally transmit everything into your brain." ”

After speaking, Bai Ling pointed to his brain, and then his eyes flowed: "By the way, there are not many newcomers who can clear the level in that scene just now, can you tell me how you managed to control time so accurately?" Just 0.1 seconds later, you'll be a mess. ”

"Free Fall Formula!" Tang Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and then said lightly.

"Just kidding, that building is only 100 meters high, and you still have 5 seconds before the end of the mission when you take off, if it's just gravitational acceleration, even if the maximum value of gravitational acceleration g is 10, you're still 25 meters away." Bai Ling smashed his mouth twice, with a slight mockery on his expression.

"There's also the wind resistance, and a little bit of luck." Tang Xuan took the card and looked directly at the woman in front of him whose face changed like a flip book, his eyebrows were still cold, "However, in the end, I made the right bet, didn't I?" ”

"Hee-hee, that's really good luck, newcomer, I wish you to live!" As Tang Xuan got up and pushed open the door of this café-like room, Bai Ling's lazy voice came from behind him.

……

Walking out of the café, at the end of the back street, Tang Xuan covered his eyes with his hands, and stood quietly like this, silent.

Three years ago......

It was a night when Tang Xuan was still in college, and the female classmate who grew up with his childhood sweetheart came to visit strangely with scars all over his body, and the scene of falling into his rental house with affection kept echoing in his heart.

All that was left was an unknown metallic card engraved with a genetic double helix pattern, and a bloodstained confession letter written in the last hours of his life.

"It turns out that you ...... too" While regretting that he didn't take the initiative at the beginning, Tang Xuan's heart also had a question.

What's going on?

However, after calling the police, there was only a simple burial, and the old policeman's meaningful gaze, the police confiscated the card in Tang Xuan's hand, as for the love letter, after checking everything in detail, it left Tang Xuan with a thought.

Other than that, there has been no further progress.

Yes, no case was opened and no investigation was made.

However, what made Tang Xuan even more puzzled was that overnight, except for himself, it was as if everyone had forgotten that there was such a person as Zhao Xue.

The next day, looking at the empty desks in the classroom, Tang Xuan also had countless questions in his heart.

Could this magical Mandela effect be a mistake in my memory? However, the confession letter left in the rental house told him that everything is real!

Finally, after three years of investigation, one night after graduating and working overtime until late at night, on the way to work, Tang Xuan saw the familiar symbol he saw on the card back then on the sign in front of a café with a hidden location - double helix gene!
