On a rainy night when he was delivering life-saving money to his mother, Lin Ye opened his eyes and became a little girl in an abandoned orphanage.
The system says: After accumulating enough survival points and clearing all dungeons, you can return to the original world and save your home.
So he hid the arrogance of a nineteen-year-old boy and struggled to survive within the rules of cannibalism with his thin body that could only breathe after taking two steps.
He lowered his head in front of the ghosts, pretended to be crazy, and walked forward on the tip of a knife amidst the betrayal of the same kind; the doll under the bed, the girl in the red dress in the corridor, the red porridge in the cafeteria... He gritted his teeth and crawled back from every dead end, refusing to fall down even though he was covered in blood.
He counted the points and the days, thinking about his mother coughing up blood in the hospital bed, and his sister waiting for him to come home, thinking that if he took a few more steps, he would be able to find his way home.
He didn't find out until later.
There is never any option to "go home" in the weird world.
The points he gained in exchange for dignity, bottom line, and humanity were nothing but poison fed to him by the system.
And he has long been dead in the eternal rules, and he is no longer qualified to look back at home.
