Starting from the Smile convenience store that smelled sweet and rancid at three o'clock in the morning, Lu Ming discovered that his sister's disappearance was closely connected with the "Smile Death" incident. There are hidden traps in the convenience store employee rules. Article 7, "Keep smiling after two o'clock in the morning" is actually a curse that turns people into carriers of rules. The clues left by my sister point to the "rules parasite", and the manner of death and surveillance visions of the deceased reveal that this is not a simple suicide, but a murder with rules as the weapon.
As the investigation deepens, more strange rules are gradually unveiled: the school badge rules of Yongye Middle School drag students into a different space, the medical rules of the upside-down hospital hide the secrets of human experimentation, and the data church is the core area of the rules. They encountered the pursuit of rule entities such as the Rift Girl, the Faceless Man, and cracked the traps of cognitive pollution and memory manipulation. They discovered that all rules originated from the terrorist plan led by Chen Mo - transforming humans into rule carriers and implementing large-scale pollution in the name of "evolution."
Lu Xiaoyu did not simply disappear. She had already noticed the loopholes in the rules, left a "loophole note" to guide the direction, and even used herself as bait to fight against the origin of the rules.
And behind every strange talk about rules, there is a darker truth hidden: rules will learn, evolve, and even use human emotions and memories as nourishment to build an inverted and terrifying world where rules are gods.
