[A new hire faces rules that mean death! When the funeral home's regulations start devouring people, would you dare break Rule 7?]
Chen Mo starts work at the municipal funeral home on April 23. On his first night, he receives a strange text: “After midnight, the crematorium must never go dark. Violators will lose ten years of life for every hour.”
When he discovers the curse of “lamp oil reincarnation” hidden behind the rules, when the name on his employee badge begins to change, and when the numbers on the morgue lockers mysteriously increase and decrease, he has no choice but to grip the original rulebook and navigate between the System's prompts and the blood-soaked truth.
“Rules aren't meant to be followed. They're meant to be broken.”
From intern to the 77th Keeper of the Lights, he must uncover the secret of the seventeen kerosene lamps and break a seventy-year time loop. The girl in morgue locker 4, the man-eating cremator, the Gate to the Afterlife on the third basement level… The end of every uncanny trail points to the altered Rule 7:
“When you see the truth about the lamp oil, the darkness has only just begun.”
