After accidentally boarding an unmarked No. 13 tram at midnight, Lin Yan wakes to find himself imprisoned in the Mistveil Mansion, deep within the Eternal Fog.
Twice a month, the scarlet Blood Door on the third floor opens. Those chosen must enter bizarre instances and follow the rules to survive.
At a wedding feast in an ancient house, anyone who writes the wrong name on the wedding invitation will be dragged into a black coffin as a burial sacrifice.
While delivering a letter in an old alley, anyone who knocks on the wrong third door will never make it out again.
On a night of prayers for rain in a desolate village, anyone who looks up at the rain will become an offering to the River God...
While others tremble and gamble their lives under the rules, Lin Yan uses his bone-deep eye for detail to pick apart the deadly rules and find a way out.
Some hail him as a god of survival; others curse him as a cold-blooded lunatic.
Only when the paranormal contamination breaks out of the instances and seeps into reality, the Night Watchers arrive through the fog with lanterns, and the Gui Xu Cult secretly fans the flames, does Lin Yan glimpse the whole picture:
The Mountain-Suppressing Plan, passed down for three generations, and the Cangming Plan, a century in the making, along with every death and sinister plot, all ultimately point to the source of this mansion.
And he is the only variable in the entire game.
"Rules are dead, but loopholes are alive. Any rule written by people can be broken."
The first 10 chapters of "Scarlet Gate: Kirigakure Mansion" are the beginning of a highly complete fantasy story with unlimited flow rules. It has found a differentiated track. The three core selling points of the protagonist's character, the core puzzle solving points, and the Chinese horror scenes have all been implemented. The narrative rhythm is adapted to the online reading habits, and the long-term foreshadowing is laid out in a pattern. It has the basic potential to become a tomato hit. The overall flaws in the opening chapter are not concealed, and the attraction for reading is sufficient.
