On the night when the strange rumors about the rules came, Shen Guan, who was laid off, learned to see the way to die.
The technical director said that AI-generated levels no longer require humans to draw them. N+1, three years. The compensation form was pushed over and he signed it.
That night he sat in the rental house reviewing the rejected designs. Draw a level and think about it - how will the player die if he reaches this point.
The back of my head felt numb.
There are other pictures in my mind.
How a certain choice will die. The picture was as clear as if I had died all over again.
Only the way to die can be seen. No way to survive in sight.
An email arrived. The sender is garbled and the title is "Acceptance Notice".
He clicked "Accept".
When he opened his eyes again, he was standing in a corridor with no exit. The watch reads 21:47 and the second hand does not move.
There is a piece of paper pinned to the wall:
1. Running in the corridor is prohibited.
2. Don't look back when you hear footsteps.
3. You must leave the office building before 22:00.
The third item was crossed out.
There is also a piece of paper taped to the corner of the corridor, filled with the words of predecessors——
"Number 4013. She ran. She looked back. She stopped. She looked."
Office buildings, hospitals, communities.
He survived in all three places.
There is only one way: deduce all the dead ends, and the remaining one is the way to survive.
The price is that every time you use it it feels like a serious illness.
Another message came from the sender.
"You're interesting. Want to meet me?"
Shen Guan needs to figure it out——
Who is the sender?
No. 4013, Who is the person who left the last words on the wall?
And why him.
