"My life was read aloud in real time into a sadistic novel"
Every morning at seven o'clock in the morning, the mechanical voice sounded on time and began to broadcast my day's experience-accurate to every line and every emotion.
I thought this was just a prank by some technological lunatic, until it said in a calm tone:
"Warning: Today's new plot - your first love Lin Che will die in a car accident three hours later."
"Consume 100 points of other people's favorability towards you to unlock the 'intervention authority'."
Cold options appeared before my eyes:
A. Pay immediately (current favorability: 101)
B. Refusal to pay
My fingers were hanging in the air, and the mechanical voice continued to add:
"Warm reminder: If you choose to intervene, the system will start to broadcast your own death countdown."
The sun was shining outside the window, and Lin Che had just sent a message: "I'll see you at the same place in the afternoon. I have something important to tell you."
And in my ears, a clear countdown sounded.
