Of course, a good person would not commit suicide, which sounds so unbelievable.

But the results shown by these data are so irreversible.

……

Twenty-one days ago, a person with the ID of Dao Ma Dan in a community forum in Songjiang City posted a message:

"I don't know how to contact 'us,' but I did see the update."

"Part of the update in version 1.01: Spirits in the water will be generated in the Songjiang Reservoir, and the corruption level of the reservoir will reach E level."

"This is what I saw in my dream, I will be drafted into the Songjiang Reservoir in version 1.01, and I must find a way to survive near the water for four hours."

"In four hours, I'm going to go back to version 1.0, presumably back to the real world? I hope it's really just a weird dream. ”

There aren't many comments below this post.

In the midst of the massive speculation about the version update, humanity has shown infinite imagination.

A Chinese Internet has even appeared in the top ten novels related to the monthly pass.

There are countless dazzling posts, so no one knows which post is worth trusting.

After all, no one can be trusted.

But Zhou Baiyu had to care, because Dao Ma Dan updated such a sentence at the back of the post-

"Speaking of which, I can see a strange countdown, could this be the rest of the time I'm left in version 1.0?"

This is the last word. Soon after, the knife boy committed suicide.

At the bottom of the post, a person from the same community said that a few days later, Dao Ma Dan hanged himself, and his real identity was the swimming coach of the community.

The second message related to the countdown is that of a driver in Linxiang City, who posted a video on Kuaidou 17 days ago:

"Evil door, brothers! I went out to do work today, and the sound of my map navigation actually changed from Kurosawa Chirei to Nabe Tokuzuna! ”

"He also told me that some of the updates in version 1.03 are that a large number of low-level monsters have been spawned in Juhui Street, and the corruption level of Juhui Street has reached D level. I couldn't read it, but I was blown away. ”

"I'm going to Juhui Street, drive for 60 minutes, right......"

"I can see a countdown. It just feels ...... Strange oozing. ”

The comments on the video barrage are all "go all the way" and "silence".

In the massive amount of information, few people still believe what the driver said.

The reason why the barrage is full of these eulogies is because the driver released a live video of jumping off the building shortly after.

He has become a warrior who uses death to accuse this involuted world, but the video has been harmonized.

Zhou Baiyu was still in the video comment area before he learned what happened.

When he saw this, he already saw some frightening connections.

Later, Zhou Baiyu found a lot of information related to the countdown. He did all the data analysis of these messages.

The conclusion made him shudder even more.

The publishers of the information, without exception, ended up with death, and all of them committed suicide.

Every suicide victim claims to have seen the countdown and seen or heard a certain version update announcement between 1.01 and 1.04.

Everyone's update announcement is different, but they all have something in common-

Travel to a mutated area and complete some sort of challenge. There are either monsters in the area, or there is a strange rule.

And so many people committed suicide, and there are similarities in the messages they left behind......

Zhou Baiyu can almost conclude that this is not an accident, but some kind of "rule" that must be followed.

"People who see the countdown will be 'recruited' to a future 'version' for some kind of survival challenge."

"Those who fail to challenge will be forced to commit suicide without exception!"

This is undoubtedly an extremely absurd and desperate conclusion.

But Zhou Baiyu doesn't believe that there will be so many people who joke with their lives to constitute a "prank".

……

……

Time comes back to the present.

There are eight hours left until the countdown ends.

After leaving the company building, Zhou Baiyu did not delay at all and went to the house he rented not long ago.

This is a loft apartment of about 50 square meters, and it is a secret stronghold used by Zhou Baiyu to attack the "version".

After returning to the apartment, he quickly turned on the computer.

He prepared two wills.

The first will, written to my parents, was in a memo on my phone.

To put it simply, I'm sorry to be human, I don't know what hell is like, but the world is torture.

Yes, this is a truly dejected "suicide" will.

Zhou Baiyu hopes that in the eyes of his parents, he did die by suicide.

Because whether it's this countdown or the updated banners around the world, I'm afraid it's all due to some kind of supernatural power.

Humanity, perhaps, is fighting against something terrible.

If he could, he just wanted his parents to accept the fact that he had committed suicide, and then return to a peaceful life after a short period of pain.

And the second will is Zhou Baiyu's real will.

To be exact, it's a guide.

"With countdown as the keyword, the stranger who searched for this post, hello."

"By the time you read this post, I'm dead. Let's skip that nonsense and remember what I said for now. ”

"First, after the countdown is over, you'll be drafted into a future version. The higher the version number, the higher the area corruption rating, the more terrifying the area, the more monsters there will be. ”

"Second, you may get the content of the version update in various ways, your navigation may speak, and your dreams may be explicit. Keep an eye on it. ”

"Third, it's an experiment. I'll put a banana in my pocket, and once I'm in the 'new release area', I'll eat it or throw it away.

If you don't find a banana in my corpse's pocket, it means that the item can be brought into the 'new version area'.

But if you touch it...... Well, then I invite you to eat bananas, don't waste them. ”

Zhou Baiyu updated the things he summarized one by one.

His job is to save human lives.

So even if you are about to die, at least let your death bring life to others.

Time passed minute by minute, and Zhou Baiyu did not stop at all, constantly collecting information and updating his will.

But suddenly, on his computer, a huge ":(" pattern appeared.

Computer blue screen.

[:( Your computer has encountered a problem and needs to be restarted; We only collect certain incorrect information. 】

Zhou Baiyu subconsciously wanted to restart, but suddenly found that there were smaller words in the blue screen interface.

"It's coming!"

His eyes widened with excitement.

He was very puzzled before, and people who saw the countdown would see the version update announcement in many strange ways.

But I didn't see the "Update Announcement". I don't know which version to go to, what to do.

At this moment, the announcement finally appeared!

The announcement itself is intelligence, and intelligence can increase the hope of survival!

It's just—

After Zhou Baiyu looked at it several times and confirmed that he was not dazzled, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart:

"Version 2.21? Class A corruption area? ”
