Synopsis

Ordinary high school student Su Bei takes shelter from the rain one day and discovers he is trapped in the abandoned grounds of Qingchuan Middle School, a place rumored to be haunted. It is no longer an empty ruin, but a living hell where time is warped, space behaves strangely, and real, terrifying ghosts lurk everywhere. There are no superpowers, no talismans or magical artifacts, and no apocalyptic technology. The only things Su Bei can rely on are his cool head, keen powers of observation, and the ingenuity he can summon in desperate situations. He must survive in this cursed school, struggling to stay alive under the **rules of death** laid down by ghosts and concealed in desk corners, cracks in the walls, and old school regulations. Every bell could signal the start of a hunt; every corner of a classroom could conceal a vengeful spirit bent on claiming a life. How will Su Bei decipher the ghosts' rules? How will he make use of the limited resources around him? In this nerve-racking daily routine of “school life,” can he see through the ghosts' traps and find a sliver of hope? This is a pure contest of intelligence and willpower, a desperate struggle for survival as an ordinary person faces the unknowable horrors lurking beneath the shadow of modern Chinese horror.

Any Horror Novels With a Different Story in Every Chapter?

Tomato’s Masterpiece of the Apocalypse Genre: Don’t Recommend Anything Below 9.4

Zombies and natural disasters are both fine, but the self-sacrificing saintly types have to die. The protagonist needs to be smart. No System, and no ridiculous plots where they casually gather billions' worth of supplies and a whole arsenal. That kind of thing is insulting to the reader's intelligence.
