Lin Zhaojue is an ordinary graduate student. When he woke up after staying up late to revise his thesis, he found that he was trapped in a horror game called "God Is Not Here Tonight".
There are only thirteen rules: don't open the door at three o'clock in the morning, don't tell others your real name, don't go near room 314 - every one of them has been verified by life.
He met Shen Zhu, a veteran player who died twice, and Jiang Tang, a weirdo who always held a notebook to record the rules. The three discovered that the truth of this misty hotel is far more terrifying than the rules: the player's death will not disappear, but becomes part of the rules; there is no clearing of the game, only an endless loop; and the person trapped in Room 314 is the original rule maker——
A person who looks exactly like Shen Zhu.
When the rules began to revise themselves, and when the white cat guided him to find the red pen that could rewrite the rules, Lin Zhaojue gradually realized: he is not a player, he is an "observer." And the ultimate goal of this game is not survival——
It's the breaking of the rules itself.
The gods are not here tonight. Those on duty tonight are those of us who are still struggling.
