Lin Shen, a former criminal police officer, whose partner died in a bizarre case three years ago. Late that night, he was pulled into a death game called "Ghost Story".
On the last train at midnight, seven strangers and ten strange rules: no looking out the window, no talking to the woman in red, no getting off at the 13th stop... Violators died on the spot. In the live broadcast room, viewers from Gaowei rewarded wildly because this was their only entertainment.
Everyone chooses to follow the rules. Only Lin Shen discovered that Station 13 did not exist at all, and following the rules meant being trapped in a loop forever.
He forcibly took everyone off the bus and became the first person to "violate the rules" to pass the customs.
After that, Lin Shen was involved in even more terrifying ghost stories: another self in the mirror, a never-ending bloody wedding, and an infinite train that trapped hundreds of people. He gradually discovers that every strange story is a tragic projection of the real world, and the live broadcast audience is actually a future human being.
Some people want him to become a new god and be sacrificed forever; some want to destroy all awakened people. What Lin Shen wants to do is to create his own rules - let the throne collapse and give everyone the right to choose.
Rules are not meant to be followed, they are meant to be broken.
