Under the blood-red moon, the hospital corridor whispers around the eternally locked Operating Room 4. The passengers on the midnight tram remove their masks to reveal heaps of white bones. Outside the rooftop door of the Inverted Academy, hundreds of “rule-breakers” hang in the pouring rain… Welcome to the death game of the “Eye of Rules.”
Can you find the way out before making three mistakes?
Jiang Lin wakes from a coma after a car accident, and blood-red rules begin appearing in his left eye.
A damaged photograph found in a morgue drawer shows his younger sister, who was supposed to have died three years ago;
The dean’s chest yields a rulebook covered in the handwriting of Jiang Lin’s childhood;
and in the memory fragments he earns for clearing each instance,
he sees himself putting a collar engraved “System Administrator 001” around a sobbing girl’s neck.
[Deadly Rules] × [A Battle of Human Nature] × [Memory Deceptions]
The boy A Qi, who uses hacking devices to alter the rules, has the same barcode on the back of his neck as Jiang Lin’s sister.
When a sobbing music box plays, the patients on the entire floor begin devouring one another.
When the “Cleaners” organization comes to hunt him down, Jiang Lin discovers fragments of his left eye embedded in their foreheads.
“Rules are nothing but carefully designed traps that devour people.”
When the blood-red moon illuminates both the dean’s office and the operating room, Jiang Lin presses his blade against the core of the rulebook.
The blood tears from his left eye soak the photograph, and at last he sees clearly:
his reflection in the mirror is holding the chain locked around his own neck.
Every instance is a battlefield of memories.
Every rule broken brings him closer to the cruel truth.
When every rule is overturned in blood…
