Global national destiny descends, and eerie dungeons invade the world.
Lin Yuan, a restorer of ancient books, is forcibly dragged into the Forbidden Theater.
The rules are merciless: break them and you die.
“Do not applaud during the performance. Seats 13 are sacrificial seats. Whatever you do, don’t trust the people on the second floor.”
From the start, he is seated in a double sacrificial seat. He watches helplessly as living people are swallowed by their chairs and turned into stage puppets.
Just as everyone falls into despair, Lin Yuan awakens Blank Perception:
He can see the truth behind every rule that has been erased, hidden, or altered!
Norway’s Corpse Listener, Egypt’s Heart’s Desire, India’s Eye of Karma, the Mayan Time Priest…
Contestants from five nations scheme against one another as trust and betrayal intertwine.
Ghostly figures in the makeup mirrors, the dead in the boiler room, seventeen charred corpses on the underground second floor…
When a century of resentment finally awakens, the performance reaches its finale.
Lin Yuan looks at the blank script and says softly:
“This show ends now.”
