There is an illogical "Destiny System" in the protagonist's mind. Every time he touches the rules of the code, a depressing prompt will pop up, such as: "Friendly reminder: You have looked in the mirror for three days in a row, and only 70% of your soul is left. It is recommended that you change your career to a lonely ghost." The content of the prompt contains a bit of Internet memes and black humor, which seems to be nonsense, but in fact it contains clues to solve the problem. The system never gives a direct answer, but only reminds "you are going to die" in a mocking tone. The protagonist gradually discovers that as long as he understands the prompts in reverse (for example, "it is recommended to escape" means that he must stay), he can get a glimpse of life. This system is only visible to the protagonist and cannot be perceived or understood by others. It looks like the inner complaints of schizophrenia, but is actually a distorted projection of the remaining consciousness of the code. Simple, hidden, with its own sense of laughter and suspense, it promotes the protagonist to struggle to survive within the rules of each era.

The writing is delicate and the characters are rich in emotion. But the plot is a bit strange, maybe there are too many foreshadowings.
