From the moment the real world is pulled into the "realm", the only thing a qualified person can rely on is the electronic watch with a scarlet countdown on his wrist, and a heart that refuses to accept his fate.
Shen Linxi was as calm as an unsheathed sword. She was used to measuring dangers with reason and dismantling rules with observation. Her world only had logic and optimal solutions, until she met Su Mutong deep in the dungeon.
Su Mutong had dimples in her smile, but her intuition was as sharp as the fangs of a beast. She climbed all the way from the bottom and didn't believe anyone. However, when she looked at Shen Linxi for the first time, she read something similar to herself - loneliness and unwillingness.
They went from distrusting each other to understanding each other, from fighting on their own to standing back-to-back in the middle of a desperate situation. They confirmed their feelings in the attic on a snowstorm night, and gambled their memories under the clock tower that collapsed in a cycle just to get each other back.
When the truth of the realm is finally torn apart - there are only two choices before you: "Leave" but you will lose all memories including each other; "Stay" and be trapped here forever, but you can transform this meat grinder into a place that gives hope.
"Wherever you are, I'll be there."
"We find the exit together, or we stay together."
In a place infinitely close to death, they were infinitely close to each other.
Intention: What people can really rely on in desperate situations is not the power from heaven, but clarity, courage, and the willingness to believe in each other.
