[Cthulhu Rules X Mind Burning X Survival Puzzle]
I was dragged into a real-life experiment called "Threshold of the Mind," trapped in an abandoned paradise where the laws of physics failed.
Here, darkness swallows light, merry-go-rounds distort space, and plant roots carry sticky whispers. My only survival resource is the "sanity value" displayed on the collar around my neck - it burns automatically every hour in a crazy environment.
The society's broadcast broadcast coldly: "Please collect the remaining rules pages and solve the regional puzzle."
Other participants began to mutate, shouting "Reunification" to hunt their own kind. I began to use the method I used to clean up data ruins to reversely deduce the rules of survival from chaos: in the Corridor of Eternal Darkness, follow the shadow of the statue; in the Forest of Sighs, listen to the pulse of the plants as a code.
But every time I solved a puzzle, a piece of my sanity collapsed. I began to have auditory hallucinations, my memory was tampered with, and my companions "disappeared" or "reconstructed" one after another in an inhuman way before my eyes.
The observer's voice came from above: "The data is perfect, your collapse curve will be loaded into the report."
When the last teammates turned into guiding landmarks, and when familiar faces were embedded in the walls, I finally arrived at the core control room. There are no monsters in it, just an invitation to collaborate: to become a permanent specimen, to be part of this crazy knowledge.
I smashed the collar that recorded all the data, and poured all my memories and madness back into the dimensional rift that maintained the experiment.
Now, the experiment continues. And I became a wandering, drawing incomprehensible pattern in this madman's paradise - a new reverberation.
