When Chen Hao, Song Tingbai’s childhood friend, handed him that expressionless old wooden puppet, he thought it was just a tasteless joke of a gift. But when midnight came, the puppet moved on its own and dragged him into one supernatural world after another, each governed by bizarre rules and teetering on the brink between life and death.
An abandoned hospital, an apartment building for the dead, a looping bus... Ten missions, ten journeys back from the brink. With a cool head, Song Tingbai found ways to survive against all odds and met companions who were trapped by the same curse. But little by little, he realized the most terrifying thing wasn’t the monsters in the missions. It was his friend’s increasingly sinister smile and the seemingly casual way he steered Song Tingbai along.
When the truth came to light, the so-called “accidents” proved to be a carefully planned transfer of despair. Facing his friend’s betrayal and the ultimate malice behind the puppet, could Song Tingbai lead his companions, break the final rule, and reclaim his chance to live?
I thought it was an ordinary supernatural being, but the part about the brother's betrayal shocked me! Song Tingbai calmly breaks the situation and it's super cool. The author writes about human nature so poignantly. Who could have expected this reversal!
Stayed up late to catch up on the first few chapters! The moment the puppet moved, goosebumps fell all over the floor, and the scene in the abandoned hospital made me clench my quilt in fear. The author has such an incredible imagination, how did he come up with such a touching rule task?
The part about the circular bus made my heart beat wildly! Every mission is a matter of life and death. The author has great control over the pacing. It's scary but also makes you want to read the next chapter immediately. He's so good at writing!
My heart skipped a beat after reading it! Every task feels like being in it, and the author has such a strong sense of involvement that the writing style is beyond words!
My mood be like: What the hell? So weird? Take another look? Very fragrant
After thinking about a lot of words, I decided to pick a 6!! I finished reading it in one go 👍
I thought I would quit after reading one chapter, but the quality of the first chapter was too good and then I saw the latest chapter??
This book is perfect for fishing 🥰
The writing is fluent and the reading experience is quite good. I can't give it five stars. Is there any ten stars? Nine stars is enough.
Song Tingbai feels great every time he breaks the game! It relies on brains rather than luck. The author combines wits and supernatural powers very well, which is better than many other books!
