[Rule Horror] [Mystery and Wild Speculation] [One Female Lead / No Romance] [Emotionally Detached] [Decisive]
A game called Rule descended upon this place and pulled Yan Xi, who was emotionally detached, into it.
Everyone lost their memories from the start, remembering only their code names.
She then gained two abilities: the scent of kindness, love, and trust; the stench of evil, murder, and jealousy. A metallic scent laced with scheming assaulted her nostrils.
No one knew how to escape the game. No one who tried to end it survived.
She knew only one thing: survive.
The scenarios were strange and fantastic, with supernatural creatures roaming everywhere, tearing players' heads apart at the slightest provocation. The rules contradicted each other, so what was she supposed to do?
A haunted school where reading aloud could be heard throughout the night; a last-chance bus carrying bizarre passengers; a military tribunal that specialized in judging deserters; a blood-soaked gladiatorial arena where people were locked in an octagonal cage and forced to fight for survival; phantoms reflected in mirrors; a secret expedition deep underground in search of a thousand-year-old treasure...
Once she could smell good and evil, acting became an essential skill. So what if she was emotionally detached? That wouldn't stop Yan Xi from putting on a brilliant performance!
A supernatural creature tried to coax her into responding with its voice. Of course she... responded. She just didn't say a word, rolling her eyes upward to make a face more terrifying than the creature's own. In the restroom, a supernatural creature reached out its hand. Yan Xi calmly offered it a tissue and told her companions, “It's fine. That thing doesn't hurt people.”
Her teammates: ...
At last, while everyone else was panicking, Yan Xi remained perfectly calm as she carefully read through the information. She looked up and found herself facing a pair of ghastly white eyes with no pupils. She smiled. Behind her came the scent of someone kind.
“So that's how it is.”
Fortune and misfortune depend on each other; the cause is the result, and the question is the answer.
Do you understand?
