The eerie fog descends, folklore becomes reality, and the world is plunged into a supernatural crisis.
While everyone else is being chased by the red-clad senior until they're crying for their parents, the System bound to former programmer Lu Yan is forcing him to answer multiple-choice questions:
[You've encountered the Slit-Mouthed Woman. Choose:]
[1. Compliment her on how lovely her lipstick shade is today. Reward: +100 to your “Sharp Tongue” attribute.]
[2. Hand her a roll of clear tape and kindly suggest, “Sis, your mouth's split. Want to tape it up?” Reward: magic artifact, “Tape That'll Stick With You for Life.”]
[3. Kneel and call her Mom. Reward: one “Loving Mother, Dutiful Child” talisman.]
Lu Yan: “...I'll pick 2. By the way, can I expense the tape?”
From then on, a legend spread through the supernatural community: that man could drive away a spirit with the Five-Year College Entrance Exam, guide vengeful spirits to the afterlife with square dancing, and even try to manage underworld officials with KPIs…
As a world-ending ghost king broke free from its seal and all living beings trembled,
Lu Yan silently took out his phone and tapped an icon: “Folklore Affairs Management and One-Tap Funeral Rites (Beta).apk.”
He grinned at the ghost king. “Hello there! Want to learn more? Scan this code and you can reincarnate as a programmer in your next life. Great benefits.”
Ghost King: “???”
This is a “heartwarming” story about a wisecracking programmer, his unlucky System, and their companions, who use science (?) to promote folklore and end up becoming the backbone of a supernatural apocalypse.
