Rule Horror: Childhood Instance

Lu Chenzhou, a third-rate voice actor for children's cartoons, is sucked into the "Childhood Screening Room" one night by an old cassette player.

It has only one rule: repair the corrupted childhood cartoon instances and collect all twelve end-credit tickets, or be erased from everyone's memories forever.

First instance: Sheep Village and the Wolf Clan.

The rule reads: "You must return to Wolf Castle before dark. The door only recognizes your mother's voice."

But when darkness falls, two Big Big Wolves are standing outside. One calls him "son," the other "cousin-in-law." Which one should he let in? Choose wrong, and he dies!

Fortunately, Lu Chenzhou has voiceprint decryption: the fake Big Big Wolf's voice is half a beat faster than the real one's. The door mistakes them for each other because their frequencies overlap!

"Even though I'm just a sheep" has become the Grim Reaper's death knell.

Calabash Brothers, Black Cat Detective, Doraemon, Detective Conan... As familiar old friends become monsters out for blood and every childhood illusion is torn apart, Lu Chenzhou discovers that the mastermind behind all twelve instances is none other than his eight-year-old self, the boy who once made a wish in front of the TV: "I don't want to grow up!"
