[Rules-based horror + satisfying counterattacks + mind games]
When blood-red rules appeared on his phone screen, Lin Mo knew that in this midnight game in the dormitory, he would either crack the rules and ascend to godhood or become food for the supernatural!
“Turn on the desk lamp at 1 a.m. No appliances after 3 a.m.?”
“If you hear crying, don’t open the door. But you can record it and use it to strike back?”
“Is the girl in red pajamas bait? Is the reflection in the mirror the real one?”
While everyone else followed the rules just to survive, Lin Mo was determined to tear open a crack in them.
He used his phone to reflect sunlight and burn through the heart of the red-pajama specter, smashed the shadow of the white-dress duplicate with an iron bar, traded paradox points for immunity from rule-breaking penalties, and twisted the dorm supervisor’s cane into scrap metal!
Su Qing: “Aren’t you afraid the rules will turn on you?”
Lin Mo toyed with the supernatural fragment he had just seized and grinned defiantly. “Rules are meant to be broken, not followed.”
Wang Pangzi clutched his tablet and trembled. “Bro! You can’t climb the rooftop water tower!”
Lin Mo kicked open the ventilation hatch. “Scared? Then just wait to be used as flower fertilizer.”
From the midnight dormitory to an amusement park gone out of control, from the Rules Enforcement Bureau to the shadows of a traitor, Lin Mo pieced together the truth with the fragments, only to discover that every scenario pointed to one terrifying source:
“The Source of Rules? Just a useless fool who makes rules full of loopholes.”
As every specter trembled before him, Lin Mo finally understood:
The one who breaks the deadlock is the one who makes the rules answer to him!
