"System abnormality
It's this bug again. It's been three days, same location, same error, I changed version 23 of the code, and it's still stuck there like a dog-skin plaster. Project manager Lao Zhang said in the afternoon that if the project can't be completed before this Friday, we won't be able to achieve this quarter's performance.
I rubbed my face and looked at the coffee cup next to my work station - my seventh cup today. There was already a layer of brown dirt on the bottom of the cup. I was the only one in the entire office area who still had the lights on. The other workstations were dark, like rows of coffins waiting to swallow people.
Just when I was about to open the twenty-fourth version of the plan, my eyes suddenly went dark.
It's not that the lights went out, it's that I couldn't see anything. It was as if something had erased the entire world from my sight, leaving only pure darkness. I subconsciously wanted to stand up, but my body seemed to be nailed to the chair and I couldn't move at all.
Then, a line of golden words exploded in front of my eyes.
"The destiny system is awakening..."
The words were floating in mid-air, with golden light, like someone was writing on my retina with a laser pointer. I blinked, thinking I was dazzled, but instead of disappearing, the line of words grew larger and larger, and finally turned into a translucent golden panel, suspended in front of me.
