Gambling Against Fate

Come to Yuewen's website to read more of my works. Gu Yanzhi's brain is a sophisticated computer - it can calculate probabilities, read micro-expressions, and deduce cause and effect. Only not feeling. I won't laugh, cry, or miss you. All he knew was that he should have a sister. Everyone said no. The household registration book says there is no such thing. My parents said no. Memory says - blank. Until a white die rolled out of an old cookie box. The die never rolls, and the number is always the same every time it is rolled. The dice were cold, but they got hot as he got closer to the truth. The dice were mute, but when he made a choice that went against reason, it would beat lightly in his hand, like a heartbeat. "Brother, what do you think it will be in the end?" His seven-year-old sister asked him in his dream. Asked for fifteen years. Each time he woke up before opening his mouth to answer. Now he is standing at the entrance of the Vientiane Casino, holding the dice that does not spin, trying to win the seven-story gambling game. Not to become a god. It was to answer her question. And the entire casino - the corpse of the old god - is quietly waiting for his answer.
