[Game Arrival + Doomsday + Abnormal Containment + Rules and Weird Stories + Oriental Weirdness + Urban Suspense]
A game that cannot be uninstalled pops up on mobile phones around the world at the same time: "Guixu".
If you are injured in the game, your real body will bleed simultaneously; if you die in the game, your real heartbeat will immediately return to zero.
Unemployed game tester Lu Jin originally just wanted to earn a reward to pay for his sister's surgery. But after he cleared the level for the first time, what he brought back was not equipment, but a wet old ticket stub.
That ticket drags the person back to the point of death that has already occurred. It allowed Lu Jin to see the last seven minutes of the missing person, and also involved his sister's ward in abnormal rules.
When the China Bureau of Anomaly Affairs came to visit, Lu Jin realized that this was not a copy of the game, but an anomaly area in reality that had been translated into player tasks. Streets will swallow people, old wells will learn to speak from people, eyeless white fish will mark living people with their names, and empty wards will wait for people to sign. Whoever signs may be registered as a patient.
Shen Qi is a researcher of abnormal language and the only one who can hear the voice behind the door. She can distinguish the monster's lies, pleas for help and hunger, but she is also targeted by Guixu step by step because of this.
Lu Jin must work with her to break down the rules, save people, avoid signing traps, and renumber, seal, negotiate or banish monsters, items and locations.
But when the global public beta begins, more and more players gain abilities, and more and more people die in reality. Lu Jin finally discovered that those who really want to swallow the world may not be monsters.
Some anomaly is crying for help.
Some humans want to turn the entire Guixu into a weapon.
This time, death has synchronized reality.
What Lu Jin has to do is to hold the door for all living people before the countdown reaches zero.
