Iteration of Despair

(No CP, behind-the-scenes forces, symbiotic evolution, strange stories) When the world began to rot, she chose to become the most reasonable cancer. --- On a rainy night, Chen Shi died in the alley on his way home. The next second, she was "born" from her headless corpse - no memory, no past, only an extremely cold survival instinct. The world is sick. "Ghosts" follow strange rules in the shadows to prey on humans. Screams, knocks on the door, reflections in mirrors, and even your own breath can all act as reminders. Others died in fear, but Chen Shi survived in calculation. She soon discovered that the most terrifying thing was not the monsters wandering in the streets, but the low-cost rental building she rented - itself a living aggregation of rules that was digesting its residents. And she became the most special "parasite" in its body. Use rules to fight rules, use fear to feed fear. When Lou tried to digest this abnormal existence, he did not realize that what he was staring at was not prey, but an abyss. Now, the monster is transforming itself into her strongest fortress and sharpest weapon. Order grows on the throne, and rules are reconstructed in the blood. The city rots in the shadows, and other "cleaners" linger in the shadows. But Chen Shi knows that if he wants to survive, he must be more unreasonable than all "ghosts" and more ruthless and efficient than all rules. "Welcome to the world of despair. Here, the ones who live longest are not the kindest, but... The most reasonable." "Iteration of Despair" - a story about using absolute principles in a world where rules have collapsed
