On his 43rd attempt to tear apart the timeline and save Cheng Ye from jumping off a building, Jiang Lin sees a mechanical blue light flicker in the other man's eyes. "The thing you keep rewriting is the one outcome where I die."
This war across time, which began with a college entrance exam cheating device, is actually an experiment by a higher-dimensional civilization to harvest human consciousness...
Jiang Lin's "life patch" is a code virus. Cheng Ye's "Observer Authority" is a firewall.
Whenever Jiang Lin uses his time-rewind ability to correct a regret, Cheng Ye's memories are overwritten with a new version:
His mother changes from a cancer patient into an AI android, his first love becomes a string of garbled data in a flood of information, and the world they saved together turns out to be nothing more than 0.12 seconds inside a four-dimensional creature's petri dish.
-*When the number of modifications exceeds the critical limit, Ye Lu sees a laser-etched mark on the inside of Cheng Jianglin's bone:
[Specimen No. 2077-CL9, Experiment Group]**
At that moment, the System suddenly crashes and a blood-red warning appears:
"Developer Mode activated. Kill your creator."
