Rules Audit Division

I, Li Ran, a former criminal police officer, went undercover as an office worker at an ordinary tech company to investigate a mysterious disappearance.

On my first day, a senior colleague pointed to the Employee Handbook and warned me:

"If you want to live, memorize it. Never work overtime alone, don't open your eyes if you hear a strange sound, and whatever you do, don't question the Quarterly Reimbursement List."

At first, I thought it was just workplace manipulation, until my partner vanished right before my eyes and the System automatically brought up an Incident Loss Confirmation Form.

That's when I realized the company's real business was managing the "balance between life and death," and the names written off on the list belonged to restless souls.

Now my own name has appeared on the latest list.

There's just one short note in the remarks column:

"This employee has repeatedly violated the rules and triggered a deeper rule. Recommendation: eliminate immediately."

To stay alive, I have to audit the company before the next quarterly review, turn the tables, and uncover the final loophole in this self-aware list...
