Code Legacy

When crimson code begins devouring Shanghai, he must kill 36 versions of himself to uncover the truth his father buried with his life.

One stormy night, genius programmer Lin Che watches his father leap into the Huangpu River, leaving behind only an old USB drive.

Three months later, inside the biological computer his father left behind, he discovers a time war spanning a thousand years:

Three hundred meters beneath the Shanghai Astronomy Museum, 36 clones bearing his name awaken from cryogenic chambers;

At the bottom of the Huangpu River, a quantum computer counts down inside a bronze coffin programmed with oracle-bone script;

And the remains of the brain-computer interface behind his father’s ear contain memories of the 1,023 times he restarted the world before taking his own life.

To fight the “time virus” capable of rewriting reality, Lin Che must act across seven parallel timelines at once:

- Lujiazui Financial War: Crack an oracle-bone script cipher using stock market data

- The Bund Battle Royale: Fight a mechanical river demon for the bronze sword “Yearbreaker”

- Astronomy Museum Labyrinth: Decide whether humanity will survive amid a hologram of his mother

He gradually discovers that every conspiracy leads to a blood oath engraved on the bronze coffin:

[Lin Zhengnan voluntarily became the anchor of time. The price: erase his son Lin Che’s birth record.]

When cyberpunk neon lights up bronzeware from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and quantum AI writes rules for killing in oracle-bone script,

Lin Che finally understands:

His father taught him to save the game through a thousand deaths, but with his final death, forced him to learn how to delete the save file.

The time loop is on the verge of collapse,
