Reality in the Virtual World

The sky is no longer reassuring. In the summer of 2025, the days around the world were shortened by forty minutes, but the night spread out without warning, as if someone pulled down the curtain and abruptly cut off the dusk. The news said that it was the combined effect of geomagnetic anomalies and atmospheric refraction. Experts spoke with certainty on the screen, building a high wall of comfort with a bunch of formulas and terms. Most people would rather believe this than face another fact - those visions have quietly seeped into the cracks of daily life: thunderstorms at three o'clock in the morning are as punctual as an alarm clock, rain falling on the palm will leave fine black particles, someone took a photo of the aurora appearing above the equator, the rumor was not refuted, but no one asked. What do you really want, can Lin Yuandu come out, why is the world different, what happened that year This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
