Weird stories about rules × Suspenseful battle of wits × Paradox of human nature × National destiny showdown
Rules are the new physical laws. When the strange "Smile Community" erodes reality, Dragon Kingdom investigator Lin Shixu, who has the paradoxical qualities of "absolute rationality" and "empathy" at the same time, is selected as the "Chosen One" and plunges into this death game composed of strange stories. Here, the rules are etched on the walls and hidden in the details. Those who break the rules become food for strange stories. Every glance at fear is dragging you toward the abyss of alienation. And for using extraordinary power, one must pay a heavy price. Lin Shixu possesses a secret - [Eye of Time], which can briefly go back to reality for 5 seconds. This is his only trump card and the bottomless pit of his mental power. From using "performance" to break the smile curse, to confronting soul torture with logical paradoxes in the silent classroom, to finding the only way out in the endless cycle of hospitals... He walks on the edge of cognitive pollution, walking alone on the tightrope between reason and madness. But when he met the chosen ones from other countries and discovered the rifts and betrayals in this world, he realized that the real horror was not the strange stories before him. And the final choice he must make will determine the survival of the two worlds: to save that cold reality, or... To become a god who defines the new world?
