Crossing the Pass

Li Jingyan, a 21-year-old physics college student, died in a car accident after running a red light. When she woke up, she was at Naihe Bridge, waiting in line to drink Meng Po Soup. Different from folklore, the dead cannot be reincarnated directly and need to enter the seven-level trial called "crossing the calamity pass" - it is rumored that those who pass the pass can receive the soul return order and return to the earth, while those who fail will have their souls destroyed and will never be reincarnated. There are no system prompts, no plug-in props, and no support from teammates. Li Jingyan can only rely on her rigorous logical thinking and deep knowledge reserves to dismantle lies, see through obsessions, and break out of the cycle in various training grounds with strange rules. From the Lying City where everyone lies, to the Bone-bearing Realm where obsession turns into bones, from the infinite loop of time-tracing alley, to the Guanxin Tower that swallows fear, he sees through the narrative tricks of each level step by step, and gradually discovers the huge flaw hidden deep in the Pass of Escape. When he passed all the trials and thought he could return to the human world, the three-level ultimate reversal suddenly came: he was not the college student who died in the car accident at all, but the designer of the entire crossing; the so-called afterlife was just a mental cage built with a quantum computer in order to retain the consciousness of his wife, who was brain-dead in the car accident; and he himself fell into a coma due to overwork, and his consciousness was trapped in it, sealing all his memories and looping endlessly in the levels he designed. Finally, at the end of the conscious world, Li Jingyan reunited with his wife's complete consciousness. The two chose to put aside their obsession with life and death and stay forever in the world they created together.
