Going to work is like going to a funeral, and the scenarios are out to kill you.
Time and space are in chaos at the manor. The paintings on the walls watch her, their blood-red lips curling into an invitation to enter. In the end... it seems she really does get trapped inside a painting.
The white bone lantern creaks. The souls trapped inside have grown claws and fangs...

She turns into a virus...
And awakens a terrifyingly notorious special class: 【Zero-Day Virus】
The museum handrail turns into a tentacle and drags her into a haunted house packed with exhibits...
A sweetly smiling doll screams that it’s going to eat her, but she has already used 【Strain Analysis】 to decipher the garbled rules
Little Red Riding Hood’s hood is attached to her scalp. Lin Shuci reaches over and flips it off...
Her teammate loses it: WTF? With Little Red Riding Hood gone, how are we supposed to find the Big Bad Wolf’s Grandma?
Lin Shuci, who used 【Stealth Strain】 to transform perfectly into Little Red Riding Hood: obedient.jpg
She becomes a malicious plug-in capable of infiltrating the System. Using her 【strains】 to swindle, sneak, and steal, she becomes a legend on the company forum.
Viral posts spring up in her wake, and bounties are placed on her head
“Help! I cleared the level, but my points went down instead of up. Is this a bug?”
“100,000 bounty! Take out that rat selling skill info on the black market!”
“Damn it! It’s haunted! The scenario crashed before we even finished clearing it!”
But what can anyone do to a virus?
There’s only one thing that ever bothers her: where on earth is Yu Hanxing?
The latest news is... she may have killed him by mistake.

He’s forgotten everything. All he remembers is a woman smiling as she drove a knife through his heart.
She uses 【Empathy Strain】 to spy on him, not knowing that he can sense her too.
He’s going to kill the woman who dared deceive a god.
But when she’s in danger, he should be moving in to finish her off. Instead, he discovers that he can’t bear to let her die.

If only...
That someone were him.
