The realm of the uncanny descends, and rules govern everything.
"When you hear the bell, you must keep moving." Someone stopped and vanished on the spot.
"Go around the black cat." Someone didn't, and was erased on the spot.
Everyone risks their lives to test the rules. I'm the only one who can see them.
[Rule One: Do not look at your reflection in a mirror for more than 3 seconds.]
I found a supplementary rule: if it's your own shadow, you can look at it.
[Rule Two: Do not search for the source when you hear a baby crying.]
I found a loophole: if the crying is a recording, it doesn't trigger the rule.
[Rule Three: Do not speak to anyone wearing red.]
I found an exception: if they speak first, you can respond.
While everyone else waits to die in the uncanny realm, I'm thriving there.
Crack the rules, find the loopholes, and strike back against the horrors!
But this ability comes at a price
Every time I rewrite a rule, I lose a memory.
At last, one day, I forgot everyone.
Including... the person willing to start over with me.
"Jiang Han, do you remember who I am?"
"I don't remember."
"That's all right. My name is Lin Xiaoyu. From now on, we'll get to know each other again."
The memories are gone, but our bond remains.
That's the price I pay for being able to see the rules.
