Lin Yan pursued his sister's disappearance for three years and only found a crumpled piece of draft paper that read: Article 7 is a lie to you.
The moment my fingertips touched the paper, everything was spinning.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already in the abandoned girls' dormitory, and the cold mechanical sound blasted in his mind:
——Welcome to Eclipse City, those who violate the rules will be judged.
There are no ghosts here, only rules for cannibalism
The ten rules on a white paper are posted in my mind, and every word is a line between life and death:
"No talking after lights out" "Do not open the door when the dormitory manager knocks" "Never enter room 407"...
But no one told the players that half of the rules are life-killing traps:
Reverse induction: follow these instructions and die faster;
Literal ambiguity: misunderstanding, death on the spot;
Missing premise: the unwritten hidden rules are the real killer move.
There is no fixed dead line, and the purification called "empty tide" can come at any time.
When the air tide passes by, the consciousness of players who have not entered the safe zone is completely crushed, and they become wandering souls forever. Even the traces of their existence will be completely erased...
Nine managers, named after the fierce beasts of the ancient times in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", are in charge of the order of the city in three levels.
They feed on the players' obsessions, create layers of dead ends, and watch people struggle, betray, and scheme against each other within the rules.
When the final airtide swept through the teaching building, Lin Yan stood at the source of the rules.
Three choices are before you:
Destroy the eclipse city and let the resentful souls completely dissipate?
Maintain the status quo and use rules to judge sinners forever?
Or, reshape the rules so that all obsessions have their place?
