[Rule Horror + Ultimate Trickster + Hilarious Contrast + Cathartic Action]
The blood moon appeared, and the paranormal realms fully reawakened. Players around the globe struggled desperately to survive Rule Horror, afraid that one wrong step would get them swallowed whole by vengeful ghosts. Then Lin Bei was dragged into a D-rank apartment complex paranormal realm. Looking at the deformed, malicious horrors filling the corridor, Lin Bei silently pulled out a copy of the Rules-Rewriting Dictionary. [Ding! Spend Breaking-Point Points to change any one character in a rule.] And so, the entire paranormal world’s logic went completely off the rails.
Original rule: [The landlord collects rent at midnight. The living must pay the money that buys their lives. Anyone who refuses will be erased.] Lin Bei made a quick edit. New rule: [The landlord collects rent at midnight. The dead must pay the money that buys their lives. Anyone who refuses will be erased.] The headless landlord, who had traveled a thousand miles to collect rent, was so confused that he started handing money out instead.
Original rule: [When the nurse makes her rounds, close your eyes and pretend to be asleep immediately.] Lin Bei made another edit: [When the nurse makes her rounds, close your eyes and pretend to be blind immediately.] The slit-mouthed nurse on her rounds stared at the patients stumbling around the ward in the dark with walking sticks and fell into deep contemplation.
... As Lin Bei pulled more and more of his outrageous stunts, the list of victims in the paranormal realms kept growing. Top-tier red-dressed ghosts were forced to work sewing machines, cold-blooded fiends signed contracts of servitude with tears in their eyes, and higher-dimensional gods were tricked into pawning their divinities. When countless horrors broke down and shouted in unison, filing a joint complaint that Lin Bei was cheating, Lin Bei sat on a throne piled high with hell banknotes and spread his hands innocently. “Bullshit! Just because I haven’t turned it off doesn’t mean it’s on!”
This looks so nice! 😄😄
