Lin Yuan, 26, is an ordinary office drone at an advertising agency. On his first day, he receives a seven-page Employee Code of Conduct. Drink more than three sips of water in the break room and you get a warning. A coworker fails to submit their weekly report and gets swallowed by tentacles. The company is eating people.
Every department is its own haunted tale: Make eye contact with the elevator manager and die on the spot; the security footage disappears at midnight; puddles never dry after the janitor mops. Break the rules and you’ll be “cleared from the performance record.” No one survives.
He discovers that meeting his KPIs can refresh the rules that keep him alive: “The printer will not eat living people,” “You may walk backward in the stairwell”... Using System loopholes to fight the rules, he tears open the truth behind the company’s sacrifices.
From scraping by to striking back, he’ll destroy the red tower connected to the whole city, along with the boss’s real name, hidden in the core on floor 25.
