Cang Yan has a severe case of social anxiety, and her biggest hobbies on weekdays are staying in a rental house, playing games and ordering takeout. Until one day at two o'clock in the morning, when he got up at night, he found that an extra door had appeared out of thin air in his toilet.
A crumpled note was taped to the door: "Do not open the door after two o'clock in the morning."
Instinctively, he opened. There is no monster behind the door, only a wall with red words written on it: "Congratulations, you have been chosen. The first rule: don't tell anyone where you are. Violators will be 'corrected'."
Cang Yan casually took a photo and posted it. Thirty seconds later, his account was logged out. A warning popped up on his phone: "You have violated rule two. Warn once. Warn three times and you will die."
His apartment has officially become a "weird talk zone". Every night at two o'clock in the morning, outrageous new rules are set in the house: from "no breathing at three o'clock in the morning" to "you must say I'm not here when you hear a knock on the door."
While others were scared out of their wits by the ghost stories, Cang Yan took out his notebook and calmly recorded them one by one. He keenly discovered that rules are weapons that can be used in reverse.
"Don't breathe" means that the monster needs to breathe; "Don't ask who it is" is exactly the opportunity to open the door and fight back.
Cang Yan began to regard the rules as a butcher's knife. He cleared one S-level ghost story after another, and his name quietly climbed to the top of the global rankings. When all the masters from various countries were wiped out during the live broadcast, the global audience only saw a young man wearing pajamas and holding instant noodles calmly walking out of the restricted area.
"The rules say you can't look directly at the monster," he took a sip of instant noodles, "but I looked at it with my phone's camera, so it's not a violation."
The whole place was dead silent, and the barrage exploded instantly.
