Synopsis

[Modern Lovecraftian horror + wild imagination + mystery and suspense + supernatural phenomena resurging + infinite trials + one heroine + battles of wits]

[This is a modern Lovecraftian novel incorporating containment entities, rule-based horror, and the resurgence of the supernatural.]

[The protagonist’s power level stays consistent throughout, as he pits his wits against the rules of the containment entities.]

The thing Lu Chen regrets most in his life is clicking on that job ad for a “high-paying waste disposal worker.”

On his first day, in an abandoned psychiatric hospital, he watched a colleague get folded in half by an empty wheelchair. His spine snapped and his head spun 180 degrees. Before he was even fully dead, the wheelchair dragged him into the darkness at the end of the corridor.

Only then did Lu Chen understand that this “Fatal Waste Recycling Co., Ltd.” didn’t recycle waste. It dealt with containment entities.

They couldn’t be destroyed. They could only be locked away.

Touch a drop of water inside a porcelain bowl, and your whole body turns into a puddle of clear water.

Open a red umbrella, and countless figures appear in the rain around you. Say even one word to them, and you’ll never be found again.

In a hospital corridor, the patients turn into the people closest to you, crying and begging for help. Help them, and you’ll be trapped in a hospital room forever. Refuse, and they’ll become your pursuers.

These things can’t be defeated. The only way to survive is to figure out their rules and exploit their loopholes.

Even worse, these things are slowly coming back to life all over the world, and strange, sinister incidents are becoming more and more common.

A terrifying cult is also trying to awaken the most terrifying containment entity to fulfill its vile beliefs.

“Will my paycheck be enough to buy me a coffin?”

Lu Chen, E-Rank Temp at Fatal Company
