"Shen Chan, age...... Twenty-five? ”

The young doctor in a white coat looked at the patient information recorded on the film sent by the imaging department, and he raised his head to look at the delicate and immature boy in front of him, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old at most, with a puzzled look on his face.

Judging from the other party's ungrown facial features and beardless chin, the other party is completely a junior high school student.

He looked at the medical record book handed in by the other party, and the age column also said twenty-five years old.

Then, the young doctor couldn't help but ask again.

"You're twenty-five?"

And the young man named Shen Chan, or the young man, seemed to be accustomed to the doubts of the doctor in front of him, and skillfully took out his ID card.

"Twenty-five years old, if you are fake...... In the second half of the year, I celebrated my birthday twenty-sixth. ”

The doctor hesitated, then continued.

"That...... Why don't you go to the endocrinology department next door......

Although he is a brain doctor, he has also known some cases of this "developmental delay", most of which are related to hormone levels.

And Shen Chan heard the doctor's advice, and also sighed and rubbed his hair.

"You don't care so much, at least I don't have much impact on my life...... Tell me what the hell is going on. ”

Shen Chan's tone was quite helpless.

The doctor also heard that the other party didn't seem to want to continue the topic, and realized that he seemed to be a little arrogant, so he didn't go any further.

"Hmm...... Okay," he showed the image to Shen Chan, "from the CT results...... There are no shadows in your brain, and you don't see any organic lesions. ”

"I deduce that your difficulty falling asleep, tinnitus, and migraine should be a nervous disorder caused by anxiety, and I will prescribe you some diazepam drugs, and you should try to take it first."

The doctor said this, and when he heard Shen Chan, who was "healthy", his face showed a disappointment that could not be concealed.

"So my brain is healthy?"

"I don't have a brain tumor, cancer or anything like that?"

He asked rhetorically, and the doctor nodded slightly.

"That's exactly what I've come to the conclusion at the moment."

"If you're still 'worried', you can do another MRI, but I don't recommend it because the result is the same."

But even though the reply was still serious, the doctor was already muttering in his heart.

This guy can't have some kind of high-cost health insurance or something, or some kind of schizophrenia, right?

Why is the other person's tone ...... Sounds so frustrating.

It's like you've missed something.

"Okay, Koko," Shen Chan smacked his lips and let out a somewhat weird laugh, "Then the doctor will prescribe some medicine for me." ”

Shen Chan said this, and the doctor didn't think much about it anymore and prescribed him some ordinary psychiatric prescriptions.

"Just take it according to the instructions, and go downstairs to pick up the medicine with the order."

The doctor said this, tearing the printed medicine sheet to Shen Chan.

Fifteen minutes later......

Shen Chan walked out of the gate of Jiangcheng Municipal No. 2 Hospital, carrying a plastic bag containing several pill boxes and bottles.

"It's a pity that I didn't get a brain tumor, but it's not in vain...... Got a lot of sleeping pills. ”

"Let's just try tonight if the 'drug overdose' will work......"

Shen Chan muttered like this, and he was also walking aimlessly on the road.

Subsequently......

As he was walking on the side of the road with some absent-minded thoughts, a cacophony came from behind him.

Screams and exclamations, clanging crashes, and shrill car horns mingle together.

Shen Chan turned his head and saw a red-lacquered metal behemoth that was getting bigger and bigger.

"Wow-"

He sighed so emotionally.

The next second, with a "bang" sound, he lost consciousness.

…………

Shen Chan opened his eyes and found himself standing in a "nothingness".

He recalled for a moment, remembering the last image of his memory.

A red heavy truck crashed straight into itself.

"Hmm...... Did I get hit and die? ”

He touched his chin and thought about it, lost in thought.

"It shouldn't be...... After so many years of car accidents, I've tried so many times and I'm fine, there's no reason why I'll die this time? ”

"Could it be that this time it's a mud truck?"

"And after I die, shouldn't I have any 'consciousness', what's going on with my fairly active mind?"

"Even according to 'religion', there should be a white-bearded old man or someone to pick it up, right?"

Shen Chan thought seriously and quickly, unable to figure out what was going on with his current situation.

Until the next second, a "dialog box" appeared in front of his eyes.

It's like the one that is common in the game interface, but it appears directly in your own consciousness, mind, or ...... In the soul.

[Hello, the one who deserves to die. 】

[As you might expect, your "life" has ended, and your life time balance has returned to zero.] 】

[Usually, death is the end of everything......]

[However, you have another option.] 】

[You can choose to participate in a game - although it is still possible to end in death, but ......]

[It's also possible that you can live.] 】

[Although this is a very unequal option, however, please choose——]

[Regret to die......]

[Or, fight for that glimmer of life? 】

Looking at the dialog box in front of him, Shen Chan was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth pulled upward.

"Koko ......"

He couldn't help but chuckle.

There is no fear, no confusion, no confusion.

It's as if I am happy from the bottom of my heart about what is beyond my knowledge and common sense.

"A glimmer of life, a glimmer of ......"

Shen Chan repeated it twice, and then spoke.

"Of course I am...... To participate. ”

He responded, and the mysterious dialog changed again.

[Welcome, deserving of death, welcome, dear player!] 】

[The world is like a furnace, and creation is work; Yin and Yang are charcoal, and all beings are copper! 】

【Welcome to ......】

【Copper Furnace Game!! 】

After a line of text emerges, it is immediately followed by ......

Shen Chan felt the "nothingness" around him disappear, and his senses recovered in an instant, as if he had suddenly woken up from a vegetative state.

But he wasn't standing on the edge of the road, and when he opened his eyes, he didn't see the snow-white ceiling of a hospital or the black coffin board.

The wide, dim, damp room, filled with the smell of wood and mold, was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers.

The only thing that's clearly visible is the dialog box that appears in front of you.

【Welcome to the Copper Furnace Game!】 】
