Synopsis

Working overtime late at night, Lin Chuan spots a strange set of rules by the company elevator: 【Do not take elevators with odd numbers.】【If the elevator stops on a floor that does not exist, do not get out.】【If someone calls your name from behind, do not look back.】 He assumes it is just a prank, until a coworker steps into the elevator and vanishes the very next second. From that night on, something is wrong with the entire Sheng'an Building. In the basement parking lot, empty cars drive themselves. In the toll booth sits a security guard who died long ago. In the office on the thirty-first floor, something is working in place of the living. None of the missing people are truly dead. They are being replaced, bit by bit, by the rules. And Lin Chuan can see warnings of death. Others can only gamble with their lives when they see the rules. But when Lin Chuan sees them, he can know in advance who will die, how they will die, and which wrong step will prove fatal. While everyone else desperately tries to escape the ghost story, Lin Chuan turns the rules to his advantage, seizes their places, disrupts the process, and wrests the living back from within, one by one. But he soon discovers that Sheng'an Building is not the end. It is merely the first rule heralding this world's descent into chaos.

Proper Rule-Based Horror Stories, No Bait-and-Switch

I'm looking for rule-based horror stories like The Zoo Mystery. At least most of the rules should be correct, and violating them should result in contamination rather than instantly kicking the bucket. An ordinary person who stays alert should have a chance of making it through, instead of it being completely dependent on an overpowered cheat that nobody can survive without.
