Gray erosion is coming and the rules become punishment. When the strange ban "No recall of childhood" appeared on the global screen, Shen Yanzhou saw the person recalling it being torn apart invisibly, but he himself was unscathed - his face was splashed with the warm blood of others, and his heart was as cold as an abyss. The cold broadcast announced that he is the only "rule carrier": the source of the disaster - the "seed of rules" - is parasitic in the body, the ultimate anti-virus program for the world to purify mankind.
Rules are not dead laws, they are active parasitic entities that distort reality, pollute cognition, and can even erase existence itself (antimemetic erasure). Human beings are not victims, but the "virus" expelled by the world. Shen Yanzhou walks abnormally and is a lone rebel. He can discern the context of the rules, and he can use his will as a blade to tamper with this cold iron law. Forcibly changing the "no recall" to "must recall", the rules of tearing flesh and blood in the supermarket instantly backfired, disintegrating in the laughter of nursery rhymes. Power comes with a heavy price: every rewrite accelerates his integration with the "seed of the abyss" in his body, bearing the world's deepest malice. Is it the antibodies in the virus, or the purification process itself? In this apocalyptic world where cognition is the battlefield and existence is sin, Shen Yanzhou holds the pen to rewrite the rules and carve out the slim hope of life on the road to human despair.
