[Original title: Death Warning]

(Not finished after all. I changed it to completed status and will write it slowly. No need to read it. I've been too busy and uninspired, so I'm giving up for now.)

Blurb: A meteorite falls, genes mutate, and humanity begins to awaken all kinds of extraordinary abilities.

Gu Yushi is one of the members of the Ability Users' Alliance. His ability is mind reading.

All he has to do is touch someone's skin or look directly into their eyes to read their thoughts. It's quick and discreet, making it the perfect ability for interrogating suspects.

Until one day, when his ability fails against a girl who is a criminal.

Her mind is utterly silent. He can't hear a thing.

What's more, when the girl stares at him with a sinister look, he even gets the eerie feeling that she's reading his mind instead.

In the silence, he hears her say, "Officer Gu, I've foreseen your death. Would you like to hear about it?"

Seventeen-year-old Lan Ling can always foresee all kinds of scenes of death. She quickly gets used to it, and even takes pleasure in seeking out the people in her visions and sending them one [Death Warning] after another.

She likes hiding in the shadows, watching the people open their envelopes and react with indifference or panic. She also likes being at the scene of a death, savoring the atmosphere of death beneath the wail of police sirens.

A series of perfectly accurate [Death Warnings] earns Lan Ling the nickname [Grim Reaper's Messenger] from netizens. She stands before the cameras, enjoying the fear in people's eyes.

It isn't until the Alliance puts her under supervision on the grounds that her abuse of her ability is causing public panic that her farce finally comes to an end.

But then Lan Ling meets Gu Yushi.

A man who died in one of her visions, then came back to life.

She sees a new source of joy, a new act, a new prey.

Lan Ling pins Gu Yushi down and kisses him. "Officer Gu, from now on, touch only my fingertips, look only into my eyes, and read only my mind."

She intends to keep this man who escaped death all to herself.

Tips:

1. A deranged, extreme girl x a righteous, kind-hearted police officer

2. A story of redemption. I've read so many stories where the heroine saves an obsessive maniac, so I wanted to write one where the hero saves the heroine.

3. The heroine's values are warped, but she hasn't actually committed any crimes. After meeting the hero, she has even less of a chance to do so.

Preview: Sleep Code

To scrape together the hospital's overdue fees for her seriously ill mother, Ke Ni finds a black-market broker and, on his recommendation, becomes a tester for forbidden sleep codes.

Each code pays one million. Ke Ni only has to test three of them.

It sounds like easy money. With people urging her on, Ke Ni signs a liability waiver accepting responsibility for her own death.

She enters the sleep pod, inputs the code, and sees a world completely unlike the public sleep codes.

A burning sun, a twisted blue sea, and a lonely old castle concealing an enormous fortune...

(Apocalyptic Castle)

A cornfield beside abandoned railway tracks, where a blue-glowing flashlight illuminates bloodstained earth in the dead of night...

(Murder Scene)

An expedition team loses its way in the desert. Luckily, they find an oasis. Unfortunately, it's too small to sustain all ten of them until the rescue team arrives. There are too many people. There should be fewer...

(Desert Oasis)

After receiving three million, Ke Ni leaves the studio, steps into an anonymous phone booth, and calls the police station. Anyone capable of making such twisted sleep codes must be a sociopath.

Besides, there's another five hundred thousand to be claimed as a reward for reporting it.

But when the call connects, there is no by-the-book greeting from a police officer on the other end. Instead, Ke Ni hears a cold, mechanical voice, so familiar that it sounds exactly like the NPCs from the three forbidden sleep codes.

"Sleeper: Ke Ni."

"Welcome to Z's new world, virtual reality."

Ke Ni hangs up. Outside the anonymous phone booth, everyone's eyes are fixed on the opaque glass, their mouths stretched in silent grins.

She looks down at the phone coin in her palm. The lord's forehead is stamped with the letter "Z". She's trapped inside the sleep code.

Z is a genius at creating sleep codes. Amid a wave of praise, his ideas grow bolder and more outrageous.

At last, a wealthy man dies of a heart attack brought on by fright inside one of his sleep code worlds. Z is stripped of his right to create them. He doesn't care, and turns instead to the less restricted underground market, where a horde of thrill-seekers await his new codes.

But even in the underground market, a sleep code needs to be passed by at least one tester before it can be released. Z's codes are too terrifying. Every tester falls into a state of mental emptiness, and his codes fail to meet the standards for sale.

Patiently waiting always brings a satisfactory result. At last, Z finds the perfect tester.

Ke Ni, a greedy young woman.

And money is the one thing Z has plenty of.

He just wants more people to experience his work.

"Miss Ke Ni, I'll give you lots and lots of money."

"Deal."

# The story of an obsessive mad genius and a greedy, brave woman

# A story of how they change each other

I'd like to recommend my good friend Luzhou's new novel, A Pampered Beauty. It's a sweet romance with a guaranteed happy ending.
