[Horror Rules + Anti-Overwork Workplace + System]
Lin Zhou dies suddenly from working overtime and wakes up bound to the [Workplace Horror Rules System].
The System tells him to play a terrifying NPC and scare people, but instead, he posts the rules on the company walls:
· Rule One: Anyone who stays after work will be hunted by the cleaning lady’s mop.
· Rule Two: Anyone who volunteers to work overtime on the weekend will see the HR manager hanging upside down outside the window, smiling at them.
· Rule Three: Anyone who steals a coworker’s takeout will be haunted by a paper figure spat out by the printer.
Everyone at the company thinks the new guy is a clown pulling a prank, until the most overworked supervisor is swallowed by his own desktop computer in the office at midnight.
The boss berates Lin Zhou for making up ghost stories. Lin Zhou spreads his hands helplessly. “Boss, I really was just trying to scare them. How was I supposed to know they’d be so easy to frighten?”
But as more and more employees strictly follow the rule “leave as soon as work is over,” the company’s performance improves instead of declining. Lin Zhou even receives a banner signed by the entire company: “Warrior Against Workplace Overwork.”
Then one day, the beautiful CEO, who has never liked him, corners him in the elevator, her face flushed and her breathing quick. “Do... do your rules include one that makes the boss fall in love with you?”
Lin Zhou glances at the latest red hidden quest on the System panel: [Win the CEO’s Heart]. He falls silent.
Does this lousy System want me to do horror, or get naughty?
