Ghost Subway

Mainframe: "Yes."

"If I click it, I won't get transported to some Lord God dimension or something, will I?"

"Unable to determine," Mainframe replied. "In theory, 187 bytes of text should not be capable of containing any complex program. However, considering that this pop-up may be a Type B or even Type A Anomaly, my recommendation is not to click it. The device should be sealed away for further research."

Sun Hang glanced at the upper-right corner of the pop-up. Unlike those common ad pop-ups that stuffed themselves with fake close buttons in the hopes that you would click the wrong one, this pop-up had only one close button. Beneath it was a faint line of red text: "Time until pop-up closes automatically: 18 seconds."

What was this supposed to be?

Playing hard to get? Luring him into a trap?

While he hesitated, the countdown had already dropped below ten seconds.

After thinking it over, Sun Hang decided to use his "Wish Fulfillment" ability.

However, he did not directly use "Wish Fulfillment" to analyze the contents behind the pop-up. Considering that the other party might be a Type B or even Type A Anomaly, using his ability to confront it head-on might just suck him dry into a human husk.

Sun Hang did not grab the mouse and click the pop-up himself. Instead, he gave the mouse an order, telling it to click the pop-up "on its own."

Type A Anomalies often operated according to causality, while Sun Hang used "Wish Fulfillment" to exploit a bug and place himself outside that chain of cause and effect.

Even if something bizarre truly happened after the pop-up was opened, the one bearing the consequences would only be the mouse itself, not Sun Hang, the "onlooker."

"Click."

The mouse click rang out crisply.
