After violating the “Three Taboos of Midnight Corpse Fishing,” he died horribly in the eerie “Ghost Ship” stage, leaving behind only a strange last message that became a hot topic across the internet. Reborn one hour before the tragedy, Jiang Che unexpectedly awakens the ability of a “Rule Decoder,” allowing him to see the deadly loopholes hidden behind folk taboos.
“Don’t fish out a corpse in red at midnight? But there’s a key to solving the next stage hidden beneath her fingernails.” “Don’t sail in the fog? I’ll go in anyway and expose the ‘water monkey’s dream visitation’ as a hoax.” He follows the eerie rules passed down by his ancestors to stay alive, while recklessly testing the limits of those rules and unraveling stages such as “The Elevator’s Ghostly Shadow” and “The Midnight Radio Station.” He turns the folk legends along the Yangtze River into stepping stones for his own growth.
Even stranger, he discovers that the audience’s live-stream votes can change the course of a stage every time he solves a corpse-fishing mystery. Choosing “save the old man on the boat” unlocks hidden clues, while choosing “make a run for it” triggers the final boss. As he draws closer to the thousand-year-old secret hidden in the depths of the Yangtze, he learns that his rebirth is part of a “battle of rules” that will determine humanity’s survival, and that the corpse-fishing taboos feared by everyone are survival guides written in the blood of their ancestors.
Behind a magnificent wedding dress lies a curse that has endured for a hundred years across two great families...
He repairs people’s regrets and helps ghosts let go of their obsessions. He thought he was merely a wanderer passing through, but discovered that he had long been part of the game. When the “undercurrent of memory” deep in the ancient town is stirred, a shocking secret about the Lu family’s legacy slowly comes to light. It turns out that every memory he alters is weaving a net of fate for him somewhere beyond his sight.
Very cool, worth watching
