Locks of Dimension: the Awakened Handbook

Late at night in the genetics lab, fibroblasts twist into liquid metal. Scientist Lin Shen stared at the surging mercury silver ripples and heard whispers from higher dimensions - his mother who passed away three days ago, "brain cancer" was actually a lie; Professor Chen, the mentor who had been missing for three days, burst open the door, half of his face was covered with purple scales, and his right eye was split into a honeycomb with multiple pupils: "They are looking for the key... Your mother's relics are the last hope to tear open the high-dimensional prison!" He clutched the silver chain of the Talisman of Life left by his mother - it perfectly matched the snake-eye badge on Professor Chen's chest. It was a strange fusion of the ancient Egyptian "talisman of life" and the "Blind God" of Cthulhu. The mother's death report, the abnormal data in the laboratory, the "disappearance" of Professor Chen... All clues point to the truth: human evolution has been sealed by high-dimensional life with "gene locks", and the so-called "screening program" is nothing more than trapping humans into "evolutionary fuel". At this moment, the laboratory alarm roared, and Professor Chen's body was undergoing irreversible changes. On the city skyline outside the window, countless gray-blue pupils emerged from the glass of the skyscraper, forming a giant network covering the world. "Find X-117." My mother's voice rang in my mind, "You must stay alive before the dimensional lock is completely opened." ——When the genetic lock is unlocked, will you become an "evolver" or a "sober sacrifice"?
