Midnight. Eight people received a message at the same time: "Welcome to the rules game." The first person to speak disappeared in front of everyone. There are only three rules left - no talking, no touching the red label, and no leaving the shelves empty.
While others are afraid, Chen Xu is reading the terms. After five years of insurance claims review, what I am best at is finding words in the gaps in the contract. The rules of the convenience store say "Don't touch red-labeled products" - "Don't", not "Can't". There was half a line of paper between the two negative words, and he used this half line to get everyone out of the first level.
He thought that clearing the level was the end.
Until the system sent a second gray message: His customs clearance record was archived, numbered 001. There are forty-six more backups behind it. Each copy is a person trapped in the copy - administrator, player, deleted, forgotten. The system is not designed to screen out the strong. The system is looking for someone who stayed in the code thirteen years ago. A man with the same name as him.
Passing the level is not the end. The system finally waited for the person who could press the shutdown button for it.
