Jin City is a city that looks prosperous, but is actually dominated by invisible "rules". "It is forbidden to see yourself in the mirror after midnight", "Take Line 3 on rainy days and never get off at unmanned platforms"... These are not nonsense urban legends, but bloody lessons proven by life. Once violated, the price is to be completely "erased" from the city.
Silence, a low-key civil servant who records the city's anomalies, his only rule of survival is - understand the rules and use them. When he met Lin Wu, an antique shop owner who could sense the malice of "rules", the two were forced to get involved in one deadly game after another woven by "rules". From haunted office buildings to convenience stores that never close, from neighborhoods where you are bound to get lost to apartment buildings that swallow up residents, they must work together to walk on the edge of madness and death.
Their goal, from barely surviving at first, gradually changed to exploring the chilling truth behind this: Who on earth made these life-devouring rules? And where will this "living" city that seems to have self-awareness ultimately lead all its residents?
