My Memories Were Formatted from the Start, and I Woke Up in a Psychiatric Hospital

When Lu Jianwei wakes up in a hospital bed, he discovers that he has become a "special patient" in a psychiatric hospital. There are no doctors or nurses here, only deadly rules disguised as rehabilitation exercises. Make a mistake during the broadcasted calisthenics and you'll be trapped in a time loop; drink the milk served before bed and you'll fall into a nightmare you can never wake from; and the mirror at the end of the hall will devour anyone who imitates it.

With doctorates in both physics and psychology, Lu Jianwei discovers that the bizarre phenomena in this world all follow a twisted logic. While the other patients succumb to terror, he calmly raises the "Psychiatric Patient Rights Handbook" and tells the ghost in the mirror, "Under Article Seven of the hospital rules, please cooperate with my treatment." When a nurse brings him hallucinogenic milk, he pours it straight into the sink in front of her. "I have completed the prescribed procedure."

In this "prison of the mind," built from humanity's collective subconscious, he will use scientific laws to fight the supernatural and procedural justice to unravel the rules of death. But when he finally passes every test and opens the director's office door, freedom is not what awaits him. Instead, he finds a neon-lit urban night in the rain, and a new world where common sense has collapsed into something even more unfathomable...
