Close your eyes and you will never wake up again.
Suddenly, nine million people fell into an eternal sleep, eyes open, as if someone pressed pause. Only Shen Jibai, the researcher who hadn't had a good night's sleep in three years, was still awake.
She is neither a hero nor a saint. On the first night of the apocalypse, she was still recharging the power of a monitoring screen that should have been scrapped long ago, staring at a curve that should have returned to zero but was quietly moving tonight - she named it "Xiao Yu".
She used the stupidest scientific knowledge to break the situation: this is not a disease, but something picking up sleeping people and taking them away. The watch runs backwards in the restricted area in the north of the city, and the corpse on the street corner has not rotted for three years. A pale man is always behind her, obsessed only with her who is "still awake".
"I'm waiting for someone who can make me fall asleep."
When the truth was revealed layer by layer, she realized that she had been the center of the storm. And redemption is never about becoming stronger, it is about finally daring to put others into your heart.
The whole city was sleeping, but she was awake. This time, she has to take responsibility for "waking up".
Intention: True sobriety is not to be isolated from the world and see through everything, but to still be willing to stop and light a light for a person after seeing clearly the absurdity of the world. A person's deepest courage is to tear down the wall in his heart and let other lives come in - redemption happens through this, and gentleness becomes strength.
