Chapter 1 Endgame
The thick leaden gray clouds are boundless, covering the entire sky in sight, seeming to be slowly pressing down, making the world darker and darker.

He sat on the edge of the roof, raised his right hand, and under the thin skylight, carefully looked at the wound on the back of his hand that was still oozing blood, his eyes were a bit complicated.

"Is it today?"

After a while, he put down his hands, closed his eyes slightly, raised his head to feel the slightly damp breeze blowing on his face, smelled the fresh air brought by the wind, and relieved the discomfort caused by the strong smell of blood behind him.

"Prophet……"

Suddenly, he heard a weak female voice behind him.

He turned around slowly.

There was a bloody and horrifying scene on the rooftop. Corpses were scattered all over the ground. Almost all of them were shot to death. Pools of blood and bullet holes could be seen everywhere.

Apparently there had been a brutal gunfight here.

And among the corpses, a short-haired woman with a pale face struggled to get up from the pool of blood.

The delicate and expensive white suit on her body was almost completely stained red with blood, and the wounds on her chest and abdomen were still oozing blood.

But the short-haired woman still trembled and straightened her upper body, knelt on the ground, raised the gun with both hands, and aimed the gun at him.

On the blood-stained roof, he was the only one sitting cleanly on the edge of the roof, out of tune with the scarlet.

He stared at the seriously injured short-haired woman, with neither sadness nor joy on his face, he didn't seem to care about the black muzzle of the gun, he just said, "You're still alive."

"Thanks for your reminder."

The short-haired woman held the gun and stared at him with unspeakable shock in her eyes.

After a long while, she said in a low voice: "I finally understand... No wonder you are so calm after being surrounded by us, there is no way to escape, and there is no outside support... No wonder you said that all of us will die under the bullets , so you already knew that we were two groups, and we would die together..."

"No wonder they are so eager to kill you, and want your body and brain..." Her face was full of disbelief, "It turns out that 'Prophet' is more than a simple nickname, you...you can really predict the future? "

He was silent and did not answer.

The answers to some questions are already predetermined, and it doesn't make sense to answer them or not.

"But ah..."

The short-haired woman took a deep breath, suddenly pulled the trigger with her fingertips, and said with a sneer, "Prophet, should I say that you are arrogant, or do you believe in your prediction too much? You actually revealed in advance that I would be killed by a bullet in the head." The prediction of death, I tried to put on the helmet, but it saved me..."

He still didn't speak, just looked at her quietly, but there was a trace of pity in his eyes.

The short-haired woman was a little scared by his calm eyes, but she had a gun in her hand, and the man in front of her didn't have any weapon in his hand, let alone the opportunity to take out or pick up a weapon, which gave her a little more confidence.

"The future you predicted has changed." She forced herself to be calm and said coldly: "Since I am still alive, you are the one who died."

And he still sat there silently watching her.

It seems that he is waiting for the fate to come, and it seems that he does not want to talk to the dead.

"Before you die, don't you want to say something? Like buying me?" The short-haired woman slowly squeezed the trigger with her fingertips. "Or, you have already predicted the future where you will be shot by me and gave up resistance?"

"Ugh……"

He sighed and finally spoke.

"Correct your two mistakes." He said slowly: "First, I did 'see' the ending where I would die today, but I was not shot by you, but died by electric shock."

"Electric shock?" The short-haired woman was taken aback, then sneered and said, "No wonder you suddenly lived in such a remote place recently, the whole building was not allowed to be connected to electricity, and all the wires were even removed. Ancient people, so you are also afraid of death?"

She held the trigger with her fingertips and began to exert force: "Don't worry, I will help you change the future. You will not die from electric shock, but from my gun..."

"Change the future?"

He heard the words, but he laughed. The mocking smile seemed to be laughing at her, but also seemed to be mocking himself, "This is the second mistake... What I saw was not the future, but... destiny."

"Is there any difference?" The short-haired woman narrowed her eyes.

"The destiny cannot be changed. I just saw your 'end' ahead of time." He looked at the woman with pity.

"is it?"

Perhaps irritated by the pity in his eyes, the short-haired woman felt unexplainably angry. Driven by an inexplicable sense of unease, she sneered and pulled the trigger.

Right at this moment-

It seemed that due to excessive bleeding, she suddenly felt black in front of her eyes, and a strong sense of dizziness hit her scalp, causing her already weak body to shake, and the muzzle of the gun aimed at the opponent was also deflected.

"boom!"

After a gunshot, the bullet hit the concrete wall on the edge of the roof, splashing a little spark, and the bullet was also bounced off.

And just as she regained consciousness, she felt a sharp pain on her forehead, as if she had been hit by a heavy hammer, and blood quickly flowed down from her forehead, blurring her vision.

"how do I……"

The short-haired woman tried her best to support her body, tremblingly raised her hand to touch the wound on her forehead.

"Who...who fired the gun?"

Immediately, she realized in an instant - after her shot hit the wall just now, the stray bullet that bounced back just hit her own forehead!

"How is it possible..." The short-haired woman trembled all over, looked at him almost blankly, and then fell powerlessly towards the ground.

Before she lost consciousness, she heard his sigh, and suddenly recalled the prediction the other party said in her mind——

'You'll die with a bullet in the head. '

At this moment, she finally understood what he meant by 'destiny'.

Immediately, her consciousness fell into permanent darkness, and she fell headlong to the ground.

On the rooftop, it was completely quiet.

"This is your end, your life..."

He shook his head slightly, looking at the scene on the rooftop that looked like Shura's purgatory, he couldn't help but feel more and more melancholy.

This is completely consistent with the future he foresees.

"Including me, I can't escape..."

Closing his eyes, a small memory slowly emerged in his mind.

——Convulsively twitching in the paralysis of the electric current, everything in front of his eyes is becoming blurred, he seems to have fallen to the ground, and he can only see his right hand, which is close at hand, and the wound on the back of his hand is still oozing blood , In just a few seconds, the screen was completely plunged into darkness.

This is the memory he received a few days ago.

So, when he found that his right hand was injured in the enemy attack, and saw the same wound appear on the back of his hand, he understood——

He will die from the electric shock shortly after.

After an accident several years ago, he found that he would often see the death of others, and the future he foresaw could not be changed anyway.

The terminal illness of a friend, the bankruptcy of a colleague, the accident of a family member...

His life experience is like a movie, inadvertently turning to the last page of other people's scripts, seeing the ending of these people in his life experience in advance, but unable to make any changes.

Like an inviolable destiny.

He called this ability "foreseeing the endgame."

A few days ago, he also foresaw his own final outcome.

—died by electric shock.

Although he knew that the outcome he had foreseen never went wrong, no one would be willing to wait for death, so he tried to eliminate all possible threats of electrocution, trying to see if he could avoid this disaster.

however……

When he was attacked this time, he had already tried to change the future. He clearly informed the enemy of all the situation in advance, but the final result still did not escape the outcome he had foreseen.

"Is it really impossible to change..."

"Since the ending is already doomed, what's the point of letting me know in advance? Do you like giving me spoilers so much?"

He sighed, looking up at the dark sky that seemed to be about to be oppressed, feeling more and more helpless in his heart.

And the sky above his head naturally wouldn't respond in the slightest to the resentment in his heart.

"I don't believe it anymore."

His eyes gradually became colder, "The electrical circuits of the whole building have been dismantled, and there is no electricity within 500 meters. All potential threats that may form an electric current have been eliminated. Even if reinforcements arrive, I will not go downstairs. I will leave directly by helicopter. Can this still electrocute me?"

He didn't know how he was electrocuted to death, but the enemy who attacked this time came up from downstairs. Maybe the enemy still set up a power grid in the corridor?
He will avoid all threatening possibilities.

Suddenly, a drop of cold raindrops fell from the sky and fell into his eyes.

"It's raining?"

He subconsciously closed the eye that was hit by the raindrops, but an incredible thought suddenly arose in his heart.

rain?

wait...would it be...

At this moment, he looked at the cloudy sky, and when he saw the flickering electric lights among the dark clouds, he suddenly woke up, stood up abruptly, and ran towards the entrance of the rooftop.

at this time--

"Boom!!"

Amidst the surging dark clouds, a beam of lightning that looked like a horned dragon suddenly tore through the sky. Accompanied by rolling thunder, it slashed down from the depths of the sky, hitting his back in an instant!
All he could hear was the sound of thunder exploding in his ears, and as soon as he reached the entrance of the rooftop, he fell to the ground uncontrollably, his whole body twitching crazily under the electric current.

He stretched out his hand with difficulty to support the ground, and stood up again, but he could do nothing, his eyes continued to blur, and he could only vaguely see the wound on the back of his hand that was oozing blood, and everything in front of him quickly became dark.

It is completely consistent with the future memory he received.

"Fuck, you can't afford it, right? There's no electricity nearby, so there's just a thunderstorm? The weather forecast doesn't say there will be thunderstorms either!"

In the intense paralysis, he couldn't help cursing in his heart.

At the last moment when his consciousness disappeared, he suddenly felt a trance in his mind, and he received a short, slightly illusory memory picture like a soul.

In the hazy picture, he vaguely 'saw' a man wearing a simple Taoist robe, with long hair loose and dressed like an ancient man, holding him carefully in his arms as if holding a baby, and looking at him with joy , still saying:

"Okay, okay, okay! My Lin family has successors, my son, your name is Lin Lan, do you know?"

In a daze, he suddenly understood what this memory from the future represented.

"This is... time-traveled? Wait, what the fuck I saw should be the ending, maybe I died right after I was born..."

He made one last remark in his heart, and his consciousness was completely plunged into darkness.

It's just... There seems to be a faint sigh echoing.
