Point of difference doom

2022, summer. Linxiang City Bianwei Building.

The girl stood on the rooftop railing on the 29th floor, teetering precariously.

From a physical point of view, if she tilted another fifteen degrees, she would fall to the second dimension.

But if you observe her carefully, you will find that her eyes are dull and dull.

A dying person will always have emotions.

But the girl just looked confused, like a zombie, like a drug boy whose mind had been wiped away.

What's even stranger is...

She carried two phones. One phone was fixed to her ear, and the other phone kept making sounds——

"Hey Siri, call the suicide crisis intervention hotline for me."

About once every three seconds.

After receiving the voice command call, the suicide crisis intervention hotline will be automatically dialed.

When the girl arrived at the top of the Bianwei Building, the phone kept making sounds like this.

"Hey Siri, call the suicide crisis intervention hotline for me."

Time and time again, these sounds gently hit the girl's eardrums, but they did not bring any changes to her.

She still dragged her somewhat stiff steps towards death little by little.

Someone who wanted to commit suicide once said that there were always 13 people waiting in line at the suicide intervention hotline. I don’t know why, so many people in this world can’t think about it.

The girl's phone number never got through. This is undoubtedly an extremely stupid approach.

If she really wanted to survive, then she should tie herself up, or... find someone to watch over her.

But those practices are actually meaningless.

All she can do is to touch the dead mouse with a blind cat.

This is just a dying struggle, hoping that these people at the suicide intervention center can wake me up...

It's like seeing a weed when you're drowning, but hoping it's not a weed but a rope thrown by a luxury cruise ship.

No one can awaken themselves, except the Forerunners.

Because the girl... is a pioneer who failed in the challenge.

…

When a Forerunner fails a mission and is forced to commit suicide, non-Forerunners cannot intervene.

Once the Forerunners intervene, they will be involved in a strange punishment.

The girl failed her mission and is about to commit suicide.

If there are pioneers willing to stop this suicide at this time...

Then this forerunner will face an extremely bad situation in the next challenge.

It is very likely that the pioneers will usher in the era of chaos after 2.0.

It was an era when the survival rate was extremely low, and even third-level masters did not dare to challenge easily.

But the worst doesn't end there...

If this pioneer who saved the girl had not completed this challenge...

Then he and the girl will eventually die and cannot be saved by anyone again.

simply put--

If you don't save the girl, she will die.

Save the girl, if the girl dies, the one who saves the person will die too.

In such a situation, the girl is destined to be isolated and helpless, even when she is alive, she is a peeping star.

There is even a rare second-level existence - a third-eyed person.

But none of it makes sense.

If you fail the mission, you will die. If you die, don't drag others down——

This is the consensus reached by almost all the forerunners.

Therefore, when they learned that this daughter of the Third Eye was about to die, some people felt sorry, some were sad, and some were gloating about her misfortune, but no one was willing to rescue her.

Everyone is thinking that the forerunner of the largest force, "Future Gate", will undoubtedly die.

In the first words of this day, many people also left messages of regret.

But for the forerunners, everything will eventually return to peace.

Girls actually think so too.

To expect the suicide intervention center to save him...that would be a divorce between Saito Asuka and Sarada - impossible.

But just when the girl stepped into the gate of hell...

The phone call suddenly came through.

There are indeed countless coincidences in this world. It can even be said that coincidence and necessity are two sides of the same coin.

"Hello, this is the suicide crisis intervention hotline. My name is Zhou Baiyu."

As soon as the man on the phone spoke, his gentle voice seemed to be infused with some kind of magic. The girl suddenly felt a strong desire to survive, and her dull eyes suddenly became brighter.

After a while, she started to cry loudly and kept mumbling: "I'm sorry" and "Thank you".

I was very emotional, as if I felt the beauty of the world again.

But the world is not beautiful, she has always known it. She cried loudly just because she survived.

And she was sorry because she knew very well that she had implicated someone.

"I...I'm really sorry...is there anything you want me to do?"

"No, you just need to live a good life."

The girl cried even harder.

Since this person can awaken himself, he must be a forerunner.

He was clearly a forerunner, but he completely ignored his own safety... From beginning to end, this man didn't even mention anything related to the forerunners, he just kept comforting himself.

Of course, there is also a possibility that this man did not realize that he saved a forerunner who failed in the challenge.

But no matter what, the girl felt a strong sense of guilt.

The feeling of guilt made the girl cry harder and harder. Listening to the man's gentle concern, she could only cry and say:

"Mr. Zhou Baiyu, my name is Ling Hansu, and I will definitely...live well. I hope...that we will see each other again one day. I also hope that you...will not encounter insurmountable difficulties!"

Immediately, Ling Hansu hung up the phone on her own initiative. If she didn't hang up, she was worried that she would be overwhelmed by guilt.

Two minutes and twenty-five seconds later, the call ended.

Zhou Baiyu on the other end of the phone was a little puzzled. When he answered the phone, he heard the rapid breathing of a drowning person when he came to shore.

As if suddenly awakened.

What puzzled him even more was that there was something wrong with the process of this phone call.

In previous phone calls, the suicidal person talked to him for a long time and finally hung up the phone reluctantly.

But this time... the girl took the initiative to hang up the phone.

It's like some kind of separation has been made.

The last words of farewell are not like those spoken by a suicidal person to a person who is rescuing a suicide.

But Zhou Baiyu couldn't think too much. The difficulties before him forced him to leave his post early.

…

…

This matter is not over.

Perhaps because he survived a certain death situation, Ling Hansu forgot one thing.

"Oops... I shouldn't have hung up the phone so recklessly. Mr. Zhou Baiyu saved me, but that doesn't mean I can really survive."

"He will encounter an extremely difficult version because he saved me... If he can't survive, then I won't survive either."

Snapped!

Ling Hansu was so angry that he slapped himself.

As the advanced form of the voyeur, the god behind her is the god of knowledge and wisdom. She naturally has the power to obtain information.

"I can obviously... try to help him. Maybe I can provide some information."

"But I hung up the phone because I couldn't bear the feeling of guilt."

After coming back to her senses, Ling Hansu quickly adjusted her emotions. Looking at the endless scene of traffic at her feet, she decisively made a phone call back.

But the person who answered the phone was not Zhou Baiyu, but a woman:

"You're looking for Brother Zhou... What a coincidence. He just left. Where to live? We don't know. It seems that he rented a new house recently..."

Ling Hansu hung up the phone, but she didn't ask for the message she wanted to ask.

She became anxious:

"Calm down, calm down, Ling Hansu, the most important thing now is to find Zhou Baiyu before he enters the next version challenge."

"Provide him with enough information so that he can survive. Although the chance is slim, now that we have started, we cannot give up."

If Zhou Baiyu dies, he will still die. If he helps Zhou Baiyu survive...

Then I and Zhou Baiyu may be the first people who can "escape the rule of death".

The first time of anything is pioneering and will inevitably cause a sensation.

Maybe in the future, everyone will not be so indifferent to rescuing other forerunners.

But right now, there is a problem before Ling Hansu——

"I'm alive now. I won't die before Zhou Baiyu dies. I want to find Zhou Baiyu, ask him where he is going, and provide him with information support..."

"The only resource I can use is the guild's resources. By mobilizing their real influence, I can definitely find Zhou Baiyu quickly..."

"But in that case... Mr. Zhou Baiyu's true identity will be exposed. That would be very dangerous."

In the advance version, Ling Hansu's ID is Snow Demon.

Her initial identity is an agent, and her first profession is a voyeur. It can be said that she is the chosen one.

He is also a third-eyed person that many forces are vying to win over. Most of the time, he serves the first force among the forerunners - the "Gate to the Future".

But right now, Ling Hansu can't repay kindness with hatred...

There are too many examples of forerunners whose real identity was exposed and suffered misfortunes.

So Ling Hansu was in a dilemma. She could only decisively start searching for the address of the "Suicide Intervention Center". Go to that place and find Zhou Baiyu.

This day was destined to be extremely busy for Ling Hansu. Her heart was filled with apologies and a sense of mission.

Because in her opinion, this is a two-way redemption between herself and Mr. Zhou Baiyu!

Without his own help, Mr. Zhou Baiyu——

It was absolutely impossible to survive.
