I saw the countdown to their death

I saw the countdown to their death Author: Elegy

If you were reborn in modern Japan with the system, what would you do?

System: Scratch quests, help others, achieve yourself, give favors, and gain warmth.

Hojo Satoru: "No Madonna, no cerebral palsy, no trouble for myself."

System: Exchange skills, enrich yourself, pretend to be aggressive, and shine with brilliance.

Hojo Satoru: "Don't strengthen, don't shine, don't slap your face, work hard, enrich your life, and enjoy life quietly."

System: Treat your sister gently, open up your harem, and reach the pinnacle of life.

Hojo Satoru: "Treasure life, stay away from hatchets, children say I want everything, adults know that the body can't bear it."

Reborn in a remote village, Hojo Satoru, who believes in 'no pain, no gain', will put him in limbo after awakening the system, and resolutely refuses to touch the Pandora's box full of temptations.Self-reliance, self-reliance, and not taking shortcuts are the safest life options.

He was a work-study student, worked hard and was positive, and was admitted to Tokyo's "Aoyama Academy" with 75 personal deviations.

Everything was moving in a good direction, until one day, Hojo Satoru suddenly saw the death countdown hanging above people's heads...

Chapter 1 Returning is still a boy

'May you go through vicissitudes and come back as a teenager. '

This is a very beautiful blessing, which means that after seeing everything in the world, you can still be full of hope and expectation for the world as you were when you were young, without losing your true self and keeping your original heart.

But if an adult who has gone through vicissitudes can really be reborn as a teenager, will his mentality change with his physical age?

For 16 years, Hojo Satoru occasionally thought about this question, because he really encountered this false proposition that only exists in paradox.

For example, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the body and spirit cannot be completely separated. Depression and depression will affect the stagnation of liver qi, weakness of the spleen and stomach, and poor physical fitness, which will lead to changes in the mental thinking of the whole person.

For example, an old soul will always be stained with various colors due to the pressure of life or various reasons after going through the world, or if he deeply understands his own position, he always feels that there is some kind of invisible shackles suppressing himself, so naturally he will not be like a teenager. So sunny.

The spirit and the body are indeed closely related, and there is no way to change this situation. No matter how cheerful, the aging body will bring some thinking effects to people.

The body can affect thinking irreversibly, but is it reversible if a young body has an old soul?

To give another example, most of the patients with depression are listless, but depression can be completely cured.

For example, secrete dopamine through active behaviors such as exercise to reduce depression, and then use psychological counseling and drugs to make yourself feel confident and strong.

Inferring from this, there is evidence to follow that the mentality becomes younger after rebirth. At least Hojo Satoru himself feels that the mentality is much younger. Although the style of life is an adult, sometimes he will subconsciously do some childish and funny behaviors, such as catering to the same age A friend's joke, and subconsciously enjoy it.

Perhaps assimilated?

Hojo Satoru is different from most time travelers. In order to promote the development of the plot in the novel, most authors choose "soul wear", that is, seize the house. This setting can build the opening plot more smoothly.

Because seizing someone's body, one must accept the cause and effect of the person. The second thing the original owner has done before, the mistakes he has made, and the people who have offended all have to be wiped by the protagonist. For example, the misunderstanding with the beautiful girl. They came to the door, stepped on the outer disciples, came the inner disciples, beat the inner disciples, and came the core disciples.

But later, some little novels pointed out that the soul wearing has a potential tauren plot. The protagonist uses the original owner's body to pick up girls and kiss me, so it is essentially the color of nature.

Well, as for this question, although the authors were amazed by their magical ability to expand their minds, they had to be discouraged, so they developed into a 'flesh-through'.

Hojo Satoru can be regarded as wearing flesh, it should be said that he was reincarnated and reborn, growing up again with the memory of the previous life.

Born normally in a small village in Japan that would not even pay attention to a king who doesn't shit. Although it is not exaggerated to the point of opening his mouth when he just croaks, the memories of his previous life are still printed in his mind as he grows older.

I remember that it was a summer evening, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and there seemed to be a dragon floating above the dome, and the mood of three-year-old Hojo Satoru was also turbulent.

He looked up at the sky, and under the lightning, his young back actually had the majestic feeling of Yuan Ting and Yue Zhi, and he almost said with pride, "In the past, when my mother saw a dragon hovering above, it was me."Given time, I will kill the White Snake to revolt...'

Well, Hojo Satoru was just dumbfounded at the time, and was dragged home by his mother in the next second, while she was still muttering in a low voice, 'This kid doesn't have a brain problem, right?I don't know how to run home when it's raining. '

The back row is next to the window, Wang's hometown, this is the seat that Hojo Satoru requested on his own initiative, and Xueba has privileges.

I have no other ideas, the main thing is that by the window, I can occasionally look at the blue sky and white clouds when I am on a errand, watch the birds flying across the sky, and watch the little brothers swaying their youth on the playground.

"Sure enough, it has been assimilated."

Hojo Satoru muttered, took out a candy from his pocket, peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed it into his mouth, resting his chin with one hand in a daze.

This is a substitute for cigarettes. Most of the time, the addiction to smoking is a psychological need, that is, smoking is lonely. He was a smoker in his previous life, and his addiction was quite strong.

Of course, smoking is harmful to health, and I will never touch that thing again in this life. Now my body is not dependent on nicotine, so eating a candy once in a while can relieve my mental fatigue.

Sweetness can stimulate the brain to secrete dopamine, which can make people feel happy and relieve excessive brain use.After all, high-intensity study is part of the daily life after rebirth, and you will get used to having one when you think about it.

Just when the fifth batch of birds passed by in the sky, Hojo Satoru suddenly felt the classroom quiet down, and turned his head to look at the podium in confusion. At the same time, dozens of eyes also locked on himself.

"Student Hojo."

The old man Tian Yuan buckled the textbook on the podium, stretched out his hand and pushed the frame of the mirror, and said expressionlessly: "Please repeat what I said just now, and explain the meaning again."

Gojo Hojo swallowed the mints whole, and stood up in embarrassment.

The girl covered her mouth and snickered, a yellow-haired man in the second row turned around and winked, and the boy with rimless glasses in the front right turned his textbook to this side calmly...

Before I had time to look at it, the old man Tian Yuan's voice sounded again.

"Sakamoto, go to the back and stand for punishment."

"It's not Sakamoto, it's Yakumo."

Glasses Sao Nian also closed the book and stood up slowly, cast a gloomy look at Tian Yuan, and sneered disdainfully.

Just when everyone thought that he was going to do something exaggerated, this guy walked towards the back of the classroom without saying a word, with his middle finger clinging to his trouser line, his head held high, and he was standing upright against the wall!

"puff……"

There was a burst of suffocated laughter in the quiet classroom, but Mr. Tian Yuan just glanced around, and everyone immediately sat down seriously.

Uncle Sakamoto, do you want to be so funny?

Hojo Satoru shook his head helplessly, and said loudly: "There is faint thunder, and the sky is cloudy. But I hope that the wind and rain will come, so I can keep you here. There is faint thunder, and the sky is cloudy. Even if there is no rain, I will stay here."

Although I am deserting, I still attend lectures.

Mr. Tahara nodded his chin unobservably, and heard him continue to say: "From "Manyoshu" Volume [-] Thunder God Dange, it is about a conversation between a man and a woman who is above Friendship and not yet a lover. The first half comes from a woman, which means that the sky is covered with dark clouds and there is a faint thunder, but she is looking forward to the rain and wants to use the rain to keep him here."

"The second half of the sentence comes from a man's mouth, which means that I want to stay even if it doesn't rain."

Hojo Satoru smiled slightly, and continued: "Actually, I think that Mr. Otomoyaji expressed the psychological activities of both parties through narration. The text vaguely expresses various feelings such as shyness, hazyness, and urgency, and has not yet announced it frankly. There is no way for the two parties to speak out directly. So it is not that the two parties express their hearts to each other, but more like conveying their inner expectations and thoughts with their eyes. Women want to use the rain to keep them, because they are reserved and shy and do not speak out, while men I understood her gaze and responded from the bottom of my heart."

After finishing speaking, the old man Tian Yuan nodded slightly, and after pushing the mirror frame, his eyes became a little more forgiving, "Don't eat snacks in class next time."

Hojo Satoru nodded in embarrassment, and when he was about to sit down, the teacher's voice came again.

"Go to the back and stand as a punishment."

"..."

Chapter 2 The cheating system

Japan in this parallel world is similar to the reality. Although it is also a capitalist country where 1% of the people control 80% of the country's wealth, there are still subtle differences.

For example, those big consortiums are not the familiar names like Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Sumitomo, and Yasuda.But what's interesting is that among these big consortia, there is one named Suzuki... I just don't know if there is that elementary school student who is the god of death.

The 'Tokyo Aoyama High School' that Hojo Satoru is currently studying at is the middle school affiliated to Aoyama University. These two schools are the third middle school established by Aoyama Finance under the Suzuki Foundation.

In fact, it is easy to understand the establishment of schools by capital. No matter what the reason is, in the end, it is to cultivate excellent talents for the group and continue to expand its influence.

In fact, this school was not called 'Qingshan' before, but a free public school. After Qingshan Financial Group took over, it directly rebuilt this private high school on the original site.

As a free special enrollment with a deviation value of 75, Hojo Satoru has actually almost completed the self-study of the first-year courses during this month.

Unlike what is written in the novel, the teacher will not let the top students "do anything wrong".So no matter how good your grades are, stealing snacks in class is not allowed after all.

Hojo Satoru turned his head and glanced at Sao Nian who was punished to stand next to him. This guy pushed his glasses and looked at the blackboard without squinting, looking like a good student.

His eyes are dull, his face is dull, and he looks like he is wandering in the sky. He is probably deducing the strategy of the game in his mind, or recalling the form of a certain barrage game level.

Well, as the basic attitude of a top student, Hojo Satoru actually listened carefully to every class, but this mandarin class has been reviewed many times, and he missed it unintentionally.

After the old man Tian Yuan dealt with the two 'thorns', he continued to give a rigorous lecture, while Hojo Satoru frowned slightly, and suddenly there was a 'didi' sound in his head, which was the notification sound of 'task overdue'.

So he simply closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, dense green stripes floated in his eyes. Looking at the life color like 'blood stripes' on everyone's heads, the boredom in his heart was washed away a lot, and even gave birth to some small green stripes. pleasure.

Look, I green everyone.

Yes, the system was awakened a long time ago.

This thing is definitely no stranger to a Chinese who has been baptized by the system. There are even many novels whose protagonists look forward to the awakening of the system after traveling, but Hojo Satoru is different.

As a complete loser in my previous life, after rebirth, I only want to believe that every effort will pay off, and I don't want to try or gamble.

The appearance of the system in the novel is a cheat, but I still feel that there are hidden dangers when I get it.

First, this is definitely a 'Pandora's Box'. After being fully accepted, it may be more addictive than DP, thus creating an indelible dependence.

If things go on like this, it may turn people into waste that cannot survive without it.

Yes, the current results are all obtained by Hojo Satoru's own efforts, without relying on the system at all, and he has not even done a single task since his rebirth, and all the pop-up messages have been ignored.

The second and most important reason is that this thing doesn't look very reliable, so it was thrown into limbo as soon as it woke up, and now it's really helpless to "awaken" again.

When Hojo Satoru woke up more than a month ago, he found a blood-like thing on everyone's forehead, which almost made him think that he had traveled to the game or cyberpunk world again.

On the third day when I was puzzled, when I took the train at Shinjuku Station, a girl in uniform explained the meaning of the "blood bar".

She was about the age of a sophomore in high school, and the "blood bar" of a young person turned out to be red. Not only that, there was a faint black mist around the red border, which looked very ominous.

Then, as the blood bar slowly disappeared from left to right, a digital countdown appeared above his head.

10、9、8、7、6、5……

Just as she heard the ear-piercing roar of the tram coming into the station, she immediately jumped up, and the number on her head just returned to 0.

When the human body is subjected to a strong and rapid impact, the body will explode due to the contraction of the air pressure. Hojo Satoru forgot the scene at that time. He only remembers that after the explosion, the ferocious head rolled to his feet and stared straight at him with bloody eyes. looking at myself...

Nima!Rao has the mentality of an adult, even if he died once, this curious scene is still unbearable.

So the horizontal line above people's heads is indeed a 'blood bar', or a life bar.

Young people are 'green', representing vigorous vitality, and middle-aged people are orange bars, representing half of life.The elderly are red bars, and when the red bars are used up, it means that they are about to be sent.

What's it like to be able to watch the countdown to the death of 'the same kind'?

At first I was puzzled, then I was stunned and panicked, and finally my whole body was not well.

Just imagine, what would it be like for someone who was talking to you yesterday to die in a few days?Is this kind of thinking deriving the illusion of 'I'm talking to a corpse', or is it always reminding you that ta is an 'NPC'?

In the next few days, Hojo Satoru did some experiments.

In the 'normal state', it cannot be saved if the life force is exhausted and death is exhausted, but in the abnormal state like that female high school student (the blood bar is wrapped in black mist), it can be intervened and saved.

For example, when I met a homeless man who was too hungry on the side of the road, Hojo Satoru bought him a piece of bread. After the man ate, the black mist slowly dissipated, and the red blood strips seemed to be sucked. Soaring.

Although he figured out the reason for the blood bar, Hojo Satoru was still confused.

In this state for a long time, people's psychology will definitely be disturbed, so he reactivated the system and tried to find a way to crack it.

Thinking of this, Hojo Satoru sighed helplessly in his heart, opened the panel in his mind, and a scene like a holographic projection immediately appeared in front of him.

"Warning: The host is prohibited from disclosing matters related to this system to any conscious life body. Regardless of whether the other party believes it or not, this system will take back all rights and interests of the host. (This prompt will not be repeated in the future)"

Hojo Satoru nodded, and took back all rights and interests, which should be directly obliterated.

This is also the second reason for choosing to accept the system. At this time, I am 100% convinced that the time travel after my death is caused by this system, that is to say, it saved my life at the beginning and gave a brand new Life.

Hojo Satoru continued to look down.
