Logic to Slay the Strange

Lu Ming, a former criminal psychology profiler, left his job after suffering psychological trauma. He then joined an outsourced team at the Rules Management Bureau, disguised as a property management company. He has mild alexithymia and cannot feel fear, but uses highly rational mathematical formulas and logical deduction to crack the deadly rules of urban legends. As eerie scenarios involving food delivery orders and elevator ads are unlocked one by one, Lu Ming discovers that these legends are manifestations of urban obsessions rooted in the collective human subconscious. Amid intense battles of wits and life-or-death reversals, every clue points to his father, a psychology professor who disappeared ten years ago. To solve the greatest mystery of obsession and understand what fear is, Lu Ming wields logic like a blade, cutting through the uncanny fog and entering an abyss of human nature more terrifying than any ghost, where he wages a battle of wits against supernatural killers.
