The first night when Lin Chu was pulled into the "Infinite Playground" started with a man-eating castle.
She discovered that there was a silver thread in her body - it could touch, remember, and sense the gaps between living things and rules. In the red paper village, she learned not to cut out paper people; in the gray building, she learned not to count floors; on the third night of the paper lantern, she walked around the yard with her eyes closed for six hours. The silk threads grew from forty centimeters to one meter, from one to three, from passive sensing to active penetration.
But every step she takes, she will bring back something - the black energy of the creatures in the well, the gray-white mist of the gray building aggregate, and the regular lines on the inside of the mirror corridor mask. Those fragments cannot be discarded, nor can they be completely digested. They accumulate at the roots of the threads, like a layer of increasingly thick scabs.
She didn't go alone. Lin tide would shout behind her, "Slow down, I have short legs." Pei Yu would draw a map in advance to mark all the shelters. Ahe would stand in the corner silently but never absent. Chen Yanqiu took her mask to explore the deeper cracks. They changed from strangers to "prisms" and survived in the A-level dungeon, one at a time.
Then at the bottom of the deep well, she opened the notes left by someone before her under an old oil lamp. There is a piece of paper sandwiched on the last page. There is only one line on the paper: She is waiting for you.
Yue Yue raised her head, and for the first time in the shadow of the well wall, a pair of eyes that did not belong to her teammates were looking at her.
She is P-0742, Experimental Subject No. 42 Of the seventh batch. Main control terminal. Dominator. But at this moment she is just a person standing deep underground with a lamp, an unknown road in front of her, and four people behind her

I could have given myself a five-star review, but that's not too much, right?
