(Urban legends + science fiction, with an original setting)
Lin Jian had never told anyone that he had an identical twin brother.
A genius brother who had skipped grades since childhood, earned his doctorate as soon as he came of age, become a key member of an important research institute project, and made a name for himself around the world.
After their parents divorced, Lin Jian hadn't seen him for ten years.
Lin Jian had assumed their lives would never cross again. No matter how great his brother's achievements were, they had nothing to do with him. One of them had reached the heavens while the other remained on the ground. They were strangers now.
That was until Zhongxin University's academic affairs office announced a lecture. The research institute's "genius PhD Zhu Fan" would be visiting as a guest speaker, and all students were welcome to attend.
Lin Jian was drinking water when he saw the notice. He immediately choked on his lemon tea.
Xiao Fan was coming?
To give a public lecture?
His genius brother, who should have been tackling the world's most difficult problems at the research institute, was coming to Zhongxin University to lecture ordinary, down-to-earth students like him?
Lin Jian had long since accepted the vast difference in intelligence between the twins, but he had never imagined something like this could happen.
What he hadn't expected was that, after a torturous week, the person standing behind the auditorium podium on the day of the lecture, bearing the name "Zhu Fan," was not the brother he'd pictured in the mirror for ten years.
Lin Jian went to confront the impostor alone and demand an explanation. But the moment the man got a good look at his face, he retreated in terror. "Z-Zhu Fan! What are you doing here!"
Lin Jian: "I'm his twin brother. What happened to my brother?"
The impostor screamed, "Impossible! I've never heard of any twin! You're him!"
Lin Jian: "...No, I'm not."
Zhongxin City, a miraculous city at the cutting edge of global technology, a city of the future that drew geniuses and talent from across the world.
It was also a city of urban legends, full of complicated rules and strange contamination, secretly ruled by monsters.
"Lin Jian, is it possible that you encountered some kind of urban legend and your memories got mixed up?"
A white-haired young man who called himself an "urban legend streamer" happened to pass by. He studied Lin Jian carefully and offered a friendly warning.
"According to the medical records, Mr. Zhu and Ms. Lin had only one child twenty-one years ago. There were never any twins. Could you actually be Dr. Zhu Fan himself?"
"How could that be? I'm not him," Lin Jian immediately denied.
He paused, then repeated for emphasis, "I'm Lin Jian, an ordinary university student. I'm not my genius twin brother."
It was said that before the genius Dr. Zhu disappeared, he had created an advanced intelligent lifeform with self-awareness: a System.
Lin Jian stole his brother's phone from the impostor and accidentally activated the original version of the System inside it. It had an interactive, doll-like virtual avatar. Aside from its bright red eyes, which were actually surveillance cameras, it looked like a chibi version of his brother. It was also clingy, obedient, and dependent on Lin Jian, just like his brother had been as a child.
"I'm not him," Lin Jian said with a bitter smile as he corrected the System.
"Sorry, I'm not as much of a genius as Xiao Fan. I'll have to rely on you to conquer these urban legends and find clues about him."
The System blinked its red eyes and tilted its head cutely.
"No. You can be him," it said.
"With me here, you can do anything you want." The mechanical god proclaimed.
That day, the most powerful urban legend in Zhongxin City was born.

Ahhh, I clicked the wrong button and it was sent! [Lie down] This chapter is for tomorrow
I have never doubted the authenticity of the world, but now there is a huge surprise in the development of the plot in Chapter 10. Oh, I am curious about the real follow-up direction. (I'm curious about the connection between copies, ghost stories, and reality) (Thinking about a lot of brain games about real and fake worlds... As expected, I'd better wait for the update)
Copywriting recycling! Good looking This classmate Li Hua broke the news when he came up, "The student rules of Zhongxin University affect you...". I'm really curious about the world view, because it seems that the pollution of the rules and strange stories is everywhere, but the two sophomores Ajian Dabao have never encountered it once, and they don't even believe in the performance of strange stories. Ah, the story is unfolding slowly, and the readers are looking forward to it with roses in their mouths. 🐶🌹[Rose]
Still a little seedling, good article
I just realized that I didn't open a paragraph review, but the review time took a long time after setting the manuscript deposit box... Send it to review to see if this chapter is out [Loading]
It's a bit weird. What is it? From the current situation, it feels like the weird talk will devour people? Or, make ordinary people mutate into strange stories? Or is it the so-called power of faith? (If more people believe it, it will become true w) Anyway, looking forward to it! 🎉🎉
Beginning: I have a friend. Jpg The author's forum style feels very smooth and eloquent🎉 There are really a lot of references to rules. Xiao Jian mentioned before that she only violated the rules three times last semester. This semester, the news about her younger brother made Xiao Jian break the rules three times in just a few days. [Hands together] Now that things have come to this, will Xiao Jian become a king of violations in the future? (X) By the way, is it possible to drop out of school?) It's weird if this frequency continues to develop w
New book hehehe ^^🎉 When I saw Lin triggering the rules, I thought that he saw the lecture information and spit out lemon tea🤷 I really couldn't help it anymore, so I printed the school emblem on the manhole cover. This gave me more reasons not to step on the manhole cover [Hands together] The two brothers were so cute when they were young www. Zhu Fan is the younger sister! So cute!
The senior sister's character is really unexpected... Let us wish this newlywed couple! The power of Lover's Lake should not be underestimated, but if you blindly follow the text, it may sometimes bring unexpected troubles——(There is already trouble) //My sister is still safe and sound. No matter how she appears, she should have some connection with this place anyway. It's chaotic right now! The sponsor's sister may be safe elsewhere.
