Dunford woke up in the 47th restart, with the pain still lingering on his fingertips from being torn apart by the fog shadow. He is a rare "chronometer" who can retain 70% of his memory every time he goes back. This time he found that there was a line of small words on the new rules card that only he could see: "The rules are written by 'Mist Core'."

He not only had to avoid the pursuit of the fog shadows and lawful ones, but also found the traces of the fog core before each rule update. In the end, he discovered that the so-called rules are just a concrete cage of human collective fear.
