• She reveals that less than ten minutes remain before the world’s alarm sounds again. Gu Mian orders Coach Che to drive at maximum speed toward the others.

• She recounts the world’s history: a high-dimensional curse filled it with hostility, conflict, crime, and other negative emotions. As its inhabitants died and emotional support vanished, the low-dimensional world began to collapse. To prevent this, she created a program that repeatedly looped the world shortly before its destruction.
