Lin Yuan has a secret - he can see the time of death of others.
It's not a vague premonition, it's a number accurate to the second, floating above everyone's head like a countdown.
He had seen too many people die in front of him, but there was nothing he could do. Because that number would never change because of his intervention—until that day.
At the subway station, a girl stood in front of him waiting for the bus. The numbers above her head read: 00:00:47.
After 47 seconds, she will fall off the track and be crushed by an incoming train.
Lin Yuan hesitated for 0.5 Seconds, then reached out and pulled her.
The girl fell inside the safety line, the train roared past, everything was normal.
The numbers above her head changed.
It became: 00:01:23.
After 1 minute and 23 seconds, she will be killed by a billboard falling from above her head.
Lin Yuan was stunned.
He saves her a second time. The numbers have changed again.
Every time he changes the way she dies, a new death ensues, closer and closer to time, in increasingly bizarre ways, as if some invisible force is madly seeking revenge for his intervention.
After saving her for the seventh time, Lin Yuan finally collapsed.
"Who the hell are you?" He yelled at her, "Why can't you die? Why do you die in a different way every time I save you?!"
The girl looked at him with complicated eyes.
"Have you ever considered," she whispered, "that the person who died was not the one you saved—but you, the one who could see death?"
Lin Yuan lowered his head.
At some point, a countdown appeared on his chest.
00:09:59.
09:58.
09:57.
And that girl
