Don't mess with NPCs who have stories in their eyes.
What they give you may not be scary value, but something you can't bear in this life -
Real.
I, Lin Zhao, narrowly escaped death in a horror story.
After clearing the level, I discovered that what I took was not the player script——
I am the most vicious NPC in the dungeon.
System notification: "Identity correction completed. You are the 'Red Bell Ringer' and are responsible for eradicating all violators."
I looked at the blood-stained rule book in my hand and the list of "players" to be slaughtered next time, and smiled.
So, when the new unlucky ones trembled and asked me about the rules of survival,
I read out affectionately: "First, don't talk when you are young."
"Second, you must bow when you see the bell."
They burst into tears of gratitude as if they had found a treasure.
But no one knows every rule in this book——
They are all made by me and can be tampered with at any time.
Later, a taboo spread throughout the world of reincarnation:
"If you are in a dungeon and meet a man in red who smiles and gives you the rules..."
"Run!"
"He's not here to help you, he is the ghost story itself."
