My son called me “Mister,” my neighbors treated me like air, and even the puppets on the street ignored me. I went to the company to check the records. My personal information had been completely deleted. There had never been anyone called Lin Kai in this city. There was only one exception: the diary I had written with my own hand. On the title page, my handwriting was perfectly clear: “They want me to disappear. But I have seven —Reads—Score—Shelves

This is written by my friend. The manuscript is 400,000 words and has been revised to 110,000. This is the latest chapter he sent me. You can see how the latest chapter is, and then consider whether to read the novel, urban suspense, rules and strange stories, and the world view is being developed in the early stage. It is a little slow to warm up, but the atmosphere is good, and it is scary to think about it!! Lin Kai didn't dare to look any further. He lowered his head, looked at his toes, and walked quickly through the corridor. The mirrors on both sides were lined up one after another. He did not turn his head or look out of the corner of his eye. The soles of the shoes made a light sound when they stepped on the ground, but the sound was absorbed by the mirror as soon as it came out. He reached the end and opened the door. A large room that he had seen, in the dream, the laboratory where he worked. The incandescent lights were so bright that every inch of the air was white. There were several unnamed devices standing in the corner, with indicator lights flashing red and green. There is a computer in the center, with the screen lit. A person sits in front of a computer. He was wearing a white coat, the screen was blocking his face, and the keyboard was making loud sounds, one after another, not in a hurry. "You're here." Lin Kai froze. He recognized this voice as his own, even the slight sinking habit at the end was the same. He spoke in a tight voice: "Who are you?" The man in the white coat stood up, walked around the computer desk, and walked into the light. The face was exactly the same as Lin Kai's, except that he was older, had lines at the corners of his eyes, and lines on his forehead. The skin is dull and the underside of the eye sockets are blue-grey, but the eyes are the same, dark brown, very heavy and quiet. He looked at Lin Kai. "You don't even know yourself, why should you take away time?" Lin Kai's throat dried up: "You... Are me in the future?" The corners of the white coat's mouth moved, a very short, very faint expression that could not be explained. "Yes and no." Lin Kai took a deep breath and suppressed the panic in his chest. "What do you mean?" The white coat moved very slowly, and the hem of the coat rubbed against the edge of the table, making a light rustling sound. "Are you sure that who you are now is your future in the past?" Lin Kai did not hesitate: "No, every different choice I made in the past will create a different me now." The white coat nodded, and the nodding movement was very light. "Have you seen the mirror outside?" Lin Kai nodded. "I read part of it, but I don't remember anything. What's in it?" The white coat looked at him, his dark brown eyes were exactly the same as Lin Kai's, but the things inside were different, heavier and heavier. "Time, different times, different times of you." He paused. "But not your memory now." Lin Kai looked at him. "Then do you have me in your memory?" "So," the white coat looked at him, "do you want to know more?" Lin Kai didn't want to struggle with the same unanswered question anymore, and he scanned every corner of the laboratory. The walls are white with a few dark stains on them. The white coat was still looking at him, his eyes penetrating everything. "Are you looking for it?" Lin Kai turned his head. The white coat tore off his clothes. There is nothing underneath the white coat. No shirt, no skin, no bones. His chest was a piece of transparent material, like glass and ice, with its edges embedded in the remaining flesh, which had turned black. Through that piece of transparency, you can see what's inside. There are lungs, a stomach, and a liver. There is another thing hanging where the heart should be. A broken, old-fashioned wall clock. The numbers on the clock face range from four to eight. The minute hand hovers, not on a number, but above the viscera. Lin Kai stared at the minute hand for who knows how long. Then the minute hand jumped and moved forward a small space, pointing to the internal organs as before. Lin Kai's breathing stopped for half a beat. "How can I get it?" The white coat looked at him, his dark brown eyes showing no fluctuation. He pulled up the skirt of his clothes and closed them slowly. The movement is very slow, slow enough to see every detail clearly. The cloth covered the blackened flesh, the bloody internal organs, the transparent chest, the broken wall clock, and the hovering minute hand. When the last button was buttoned, the laboratory was so quiet that you could hear your own heartbeat. The white coat raised his right hand, with long fingers and yellow nails. He tapped his chest with his index finger, right in the center, where his heart was, through the fabric of his white coat. "Kill me and cut it open." Lin Kai's pupils shrank. He looked at the white coat and the face that was older than himself. Look at the lines at the corners of the eyes, the lines on the forehead, the blue-grey eye sockets, and the dull skin. "You want me to -" his voice stuck, as if something was stuck in his throat, "kill my future self?" The white coat did not answer. He stood there, his hands hanging down at his sides. The laboratory lights flashed, dimmed, lit up, dimmed, and lit again. Between the two flashes, the face in the white coat flickered in and out of light and dark. The light bulb is on, and the white coat is still there. He looked at Lin Kai, and something was changing in those eyes. "You want to get the time fragment?" His voice was half a degree lower than before, "It's right here, in my chest. If you want to take it away, you have to cut me open." He took a step forward, and the soles of his shoes hit the ground without making any sound. "But you can't." He paused half a step. Lin Kai stared at him: "Why not?" The white coat took another step. "Because if you kill me, you will also live in the shadow of your own future death." His face turned pale under the light. "But you can't change anything." He stopped. Less than an arm's length away from Lin Kai. "Do you still want to get the time fragments?" Lin Kai said nothing. His fists were clenched and his knuckles turned white. The white coat approached again, and Lin Kai yelled: "Fuck your future, I only want the present." Lin Kai punched out, and severe pain came from his back. The white coat stopped and said, "We are all trapped in time. Are you sure you hit me with your fist and not you a few seconds in the future?" Lin Kai withdrew his fist and stood there, with tearing pain coming from his back. He wanted to close his eyes and use his eyes of truth to find flaws. But the white coat spoke: "Do you think you are the only one with the eye of truth?" After the white coat finished speaking, a vertical pupil appeared between his eyebrows, golden and dazzling. "The eye of truth can see through the rules, but it cannot see through time." The white coat took another step closer, and Lin Kai took a step back. "Give up, this fragment of time." The white coat paused and stated a fact. "You can't take it away." Lin Kai stood there, the pain on his back still there. His hands were still clenched, and his knuckles were white. "I'll take it." The voice was not loud, but steady.
