Critical Player

There are some places in this world that cannot be explained. They never appear on the map, but they really exist in reality. Some people see dead relatives in the disappearing streets; some people are trapped in repeated time, spending an endless life; some people are obviously alive, but are completely erased from everyone's memory. These areas that go against common sense are called "critical". In order to investigate these unknown areas, an organization hidden under reality was quietly established. They record anomalies, look for rules, and try to uncover the causes of criticality. Until a mission, an ordinary young man accidentally broke into the critical point. His name is Xu Lin. Just graduated, with no special status, no training, and no distinctive abilities. But no one knew that he was the biggest variable in this anomaly. He can see hidden truths, find rules that no one has discovered, touch the forgotten past, and even change the boundaries that should be fixed. The executor Shen Yan originally believed that all abnormalities had traces. Until he discovered that Xu Lin's name had appeared in a file that did not exist. A deleted past, a person forgotten by the world. As more and more critical events emerge, they gradually discover that those disappeared people, confused time, and tampered memories all seem to point to the same answer. And that answer has long been related to Xu Lin. As the boundaries between reality and criticality gradually blurred, they finally realized: They've been investigating criticality. Perhaps from the beginning, Criticality has been looking for them.
