“Welcome to your 784th death.”
When Qi Yongye wakes from a car crash, a maze formed by 368 bronze pillars is already waiting for him. A face frozen in agony, someone he once knew, is embedded in every pillar. The numbers on his wrist begin to tick down: 16...15...14...
Here, death is only the beginning. In a sixteen-second death loop, the logic a programmer once took pride in becomes a joke, and the surgeon Qin Ruoyan’s scalpel can’t bring back a single memory. When they discover that the marks on the bronze pillars are records of their own sins, an even more terrifying truth comes to light:
Someone has altered the System’s code.
Someone wants them to remember.
And the “Guide” waiting where the countdown hits zero is wearing Qi Yongye’s face from ten years ago.
