Echo Retracement: the Third Option

Shen Miao died seven times. Every time, she died within the rules of the system - the auction ran out of points, the vote was eliminated, and the countdown reached zero. The system says this is screening. It is said that only those who are most adaptable to the rules will survive. After her seventh death, she was reborn. Go back five years ago with broken memories, and return to the first copy of Project Ark: the abandoned hospital. This time, she found a number - 047. That's not the pass code. That's her number. She is not a player, she is a specimen. From that moment on, Shen Miao no longer asked "how to survive." She began to ask: "What is this experiment testing?" Ten copies. 1000 Participants. A man who designed the entire system was waiting for an answer he couldn't ask himself. The system said: You only have two options. Shen Miao said: I choose the third option. This is a story about "choice". The system doesn't let you choose, it's you who chooses. The door has always been there. But no one has ever dared to push it away.
