The Haunted Realm Game You Must Play

One evening in late autumn of 2037, Chen Dongyang had just woken up after a night shift when a call from his cousin, Chen Zhili, summoned him to her school. From the moment he stepped onto the campus, things began to turn strange.

A homeroom teacher whose identity was in doubt; his cousin, who had filled her self-reflection letter with the red character for "death"; a parent who suddenly ran off in a frenzy; a strange acting academic director; and a PE teacher and librarian who had remained hidden in the darkness. Every clue pointed to Zhao Qijia, a young teacher who had died by suicide fifteen years ago.

A strange-realm game that he had no choice but to join began.

"Player Chen Dongyang, you have successfully unlocked an important clue in the strange-realm game scenario, Campus Vengeful Spirit: Liang Qingsong's warning. Please follow the clues and prompts to uncover the truth behind everything here."

"The first player faction hint is now being announced."

"Hint One: A vengeful spirit can use the complete body of someone who has died to regenerate. In the body of someone still alive, it can remain for only three days. Vengeful spirits will not harm humans."

You have already embarked on this strange-realm game that you must take part in. Survive, or die.
