The train bound for the university entered the tunnel and never came out.
————
When Chen Jin woke up, the carriage was still traveling in darkness. The time on the phone stopped at 15:07, and there was no end outside the window.
Then he saw those words - blood red, floating on the glass, imprinted in everyone's eyes.
[Time closed loop: The train can never leave this tunnel]
[Dead Man's Zone: The "people" in the carriage may have died long ago]
[Imitators: They are the best actors. Can you tell who is the person?]
The system says he is a "BUG handler".
Privilege: Can see some rules. Can consume "normal value" to gain insight into the truth.
Cost: Every hour you stay, the normal value is reduced by 1 and the madness value is increased by 1.
If the madness value exceeds the normal value, what will he become? The system has not written it.
Shen Jin should have been afraid.
But he discovered one thing: the bugs he solved - time loops, zombie outbreaks, pseudo-human replacements - could actually bring them back to reality.
He cast his gaze out the window. Something was staring at him in the darkness.
A new line of words appeared on the glass——
[Train conductor reminds: Please keep quiet. If you disturb those "things", they will think you are alive.
Shen Jin twitched the corner of his mouth.
Take a look.
Anyway, wait until I remove your bugs one by one and take them away——
This car will become my collection.
