The corridors are dark and oppressive, and the resident rules posted on the walls seem to be safety guidelines, but in fact, they are full of contradictory traps.

If you violate even the smallest rule, you will immediately trigger the ghost story's death mechanism, and there will be no way to recover.

The city harbors several bizarre and unwritten rules: smiling corpses cannot be recorded as dead; children in the city will completely disappear after the third bell tolls; the magistrate claims he has never contracted the plague, and no one can examine his pulse.

    The title attracted me, the story captivated me, it's so good! [Licking screen] When the eerie world invades, gods and Buddhas retreat, and the rules of the supernatural sweep across the planet 🌍 Some manipulate time, create their own prisons, possess unparalleled combat power… while our protagonist, Ling Yuanzhi, is a mentally unstable little madman 🤪 While others fight in the world of supernatural tales, he stays home counting ants! The rules of the supernatural tales spend two years locking onto him, pulling him into the eerie world, starting with a C-level talent 🎲 He pretends to be lazy, but actually he's frantically clinging to powerful figures! With his "unsolvable bug" physique, he rampages through the world of ghosts and monsters— Knocking ghosts? He treats them like air! Terrifying shrines? He makes them his second home! Ghost soldiers borrowing his path? He simply avoids their attacks! The pacing is super fast 🔥 The plot is both crazy and exhilarating, the protagonist's unconventional approach turns the rules of the supernatural tales into a "ghostly prank game," with laughter and excitement flying back and forth, no romantic pairing, just pure chaos, watch this crazy young man rampage through the world of supernatural tales, it's so satisfying it'll make your head spin!! If you haven't read it yet, hurry up and check it out! It's currently up to chapter 138, so it's definitely worth following. You won't be able to stop reading even if you stay up all night! 💨
