The Gray Zone Descends: I Can See Through Every Rule

[Gray Zones + Rules + Hunters + Data Stream + Information Advantage + Leveling Up]

The seventh year since the Gray Zones descended.

Countless Gray Zone dungeons have appeared around the world: abandoned subways, late-night laundromats, midnight trains... Every Gray Zone has its own rules. Those who understand them live; those who don't, die.

All the hunters rely on experience and intuition to guess the rules.

Lu Chen is the only exception.

He can see the "annotations" beneath the rules: the underlying logic the Gray Zones conceal.

Others see: "Each train car must contain exactly one passenger."

He sees: "Execution logic for this rule: if the number of passengers in all three cars is not equal to one, the rule is deemed impossible to execute and automatically skipped."

Others enter the Gray Zones to gamble with their lives.

He enters to take an open-book exam.

While all the bronze-badge hunters are trembling in an E-rank Gray Zone, Lu Chen has already emerged from a hidden floor with a C-rank fragment in hand.

"How did you know there was a hidden floor?"

"It was written in the rules."

"Which rule says that?"

Lu Chen smiled but didn't answer.

He wouldn't tell anyone that there was a kind of person in this world who could see the world behind the rules.

And he was the only one.
