Rule Horror: The Claims Adjuster Who Exploits Every Loophole

Rules descend upon the world, and dungeons bloom everywhere. While everyone else trembles as they desperately memorize the rules, Song Yan just laughs. He has spent five years as an insurance claims adjuster. He may not know much else, but finding loopholes in clauses and exploiting gaps in the rules is how he makes a living. The last bus says you mustn't count the passengers? Then I'll count the seats. Thirty-one seats, thirty passengers. The extra one: please get off. The elevator rules say not to speak to the driver? I'll simply make an announcement. If he doesn't reply, how can that count as a conversation? The anomaly in the mirror wants to possess me through my eyes? Sorry, rule five says not to look in the mirror. You made me look, so you're the one who broke the rules. The Annotation School: Holy crap! Is this guy an unregistered rule-breaker? The rules themselves: Could you stop picking holes in us?! Keep going and even my underwear will be full of holes! Song Yan: What's the rush? This is just the beginning. Once I find the person who wrote the rules, I'll settle the claim for these past three years with him properly. This novel and its characters are entirely fictional.
