[A brilliant, level-headed male lead + rules-based horror + supernatural livestream mystery-solving + no System + Chinese-style campus youth]
Jin Chengkong finds an unremovable livestream app on his phone.
“When the hundred tales are told, the spirits will appear.”
Every night at midnight, the virtual streamer Nan He tells a ghost story.
Night One, “Throat Flute”: Your dead friend has been turned into a musical instrument, and it’s calling your name.
Night Eight, “Ghost-Trapping Formation”: You’re setting up a cage to catch a ghost, but it’s watching you from behind.
…
Jin Chengkong thinks it’s just a dull pastime, until he realizes
The victims in the stories are none other than himself.
The scene of the death in the story is his school’s old building tomorrow.
To survive, Jin Chengkong must find the one way out of this deadly script before the story ends.
“A dead friend? I know what it is.”
“A ghost behind me? Great, it won’t be getting out.”
While everyone else screams and flees under the rules of the vengeful ghosts, Jin Chengkong tears up the only escape talisman in the ruins.
He looks at the trembling monster before him and gives it a kindly smile:
“Finished your story? Now it’s my turn to lay down the rules.”
