When you discover that your memory is forged and the genes of unknown creatures are flowing in your body, the end of the watch's countdown is not death but a more cruel truth - welcome to the hunting ground of the "system".
Surgeon Lu Chen and mercenary Jiang Han, two top professionals who had nothing to do with each other, were dragged into the abyss of nightmare because of a blood-stained black card. The corpse with the same face as his own in the refrigerated cabinet of the morgue, the bronze coffin with a genetic spiral hidden under the wedding sedan of the Republic of China, the indescribable thing whispering the two people's numbers on the deep-sea cruise ship... Each copy hides a terrifying law that subverts cognition:
■ In the mutated hospital, space folding turns the emergency building into a maze of flesh and blood, and the rules on the nurse's duty list will eat up the organs of the executor;
■ In the ghost school, credits are lifespan, and looking directly at the administrator wearing a red armband will cause quartz crystals to grow in the retina;
■ On the Abyss Cruise, the price for enjoying the boat banquet is to exchange organs with yourself in parallel time and space, and the tentacles of the sleeping ancient gods are adsorbed on the bottom of the boat.
Lu Chen's scalpel can cut through the cracks in time and space, and Jiang Han's pupils can predict the trajectory of death. But the most terrifying thing is not the monster, but the imprint that the system has carved into their genes. When Lu Chen discovered that the 30 minutes of memory lost after each mission were being used to improve the neural network of a certain super life form; when Jiang Han's skin began to show dragon scale-like lines, those traces that were once thought to be birthmarks were actually the genetic modification numbers of the embryo - X-07 and X-11.
