After midnight, the rules are life and death.
Chen Mo, 24 years old, forensic assistant.
His daily job is to dissect corpses whose causes of death are unknown.
Until late one night, he received a text message——
"The night shift security guard of Xingfu Apartment is on duty. Please confirm your survival before 06:00."
There is no exit. There is no do-over.
This is a game of rules with real death at stake.
A happy apartment, an out-of-control nursing home, a mountain temple in the mountains, an abandoned research institute sinking to the bottom of the sea...
Behind every copy, there is a truth about death that has been deliberately buried.
And the only way to clear the customs is--
Find a loophole in the rules and exploit it.
Others were screaming in fear, and he was observing the wet marks on the ground.
While others are struggling with the rules, he is calculating the time difference on his mobile phone.
Others asked him: "Why are you not afraid?"
All he said was, "I've seen worse."
But there is a secret hidden in Chen Mo that even he himself has not fully uncovered.
He drowned when he was six years old.
He woke up on the morgue.
From that day on, he could always feel——
The path walked by the dead will leave behind warmth.
He thought he was lucky enough to survive again and again.
Until a certain being said to him:
"When you chose to come back, did you ever think that the price would be chasing you for the rest of your life?"
---
Rules never protect anyone.
It will only filter out the ones most worthy of living to the end.
And Chen Mo didn't want to be a chess piece anymore.
He wants to stand above the rules.
——
"The rules say it lies. But paper doesn't."
