The red mist descends and the world becomes a hunting ground for rules and strange stories.
The "Rule Pawn Shop" appeared out of thin air. It gave supplies for survival and also promulgated the iron law of death: [You must exchange a lie for food every day], [You cannot refuse the pawn shop's three transaction requests]... Anyone who disobeys will be swallowed by the red mist.
Lin Che, an ordinary social creature struggling in the last days, quietly awakened her "lie detection" ability when everyone was driven crazy by lies and suspicion.
He can see through the authenticity of people's hearts, and he can use "precise lies" to exploit loopholes in pawnshop rules:
Say "I can cure the red mist" in exchange for the real vaccine formula;
A logical trap that made the villains who deceived him suffer the consequences.
Here, lies are the currency and logic is the weapon.
Some people use white lies to build shelters, while others use malicious deception to harvest their own kind. Lin Che walked on thin ice between trust and betrayal, walking a tightrope between obeying the rules and breaking taboos.
He gradually discovers that behind the pawn shop lies the terrifying secret of "restarting the world" of high-dimensional civilization.
While everyone was falling into lies, Lin Che was planning the biggest scam - he wanted to cheat the rules, cheat the pawnshop, and even... Cheat the doomsday itself.
This is a story about using lies to find a glimmer of hope in despair.
