The spiritual energy has revived, and modern cities have spawned countless regular and strange spaces bound by iron rules. The Abnormal Events Investigation Bureau is dedicated to containing strange things and burying the secrets of the world.
Xie Yan is the top killer special investigator in the bureau. He has the power of Ember to burn away all the shadows of rules, but he is inherently unable to decipher the strange regulations. Lu Zhiheng is the only genius in retroactive analysis of rules in the bureau. He can reverse the deduction and tamper with fatal cycles, and he has no ability to protect himself.
The two had a mortal feud over an old S-level dungeon case three years ago. They were at odds with each other and were incompatible with each other. A series of murders involving rainy nights broke out across the city, and the top management forced the two to form a team.
The infinite loop of the death apartment, the last subway that obliterates consciousness, the abandoned hospital that hides the secret of sacrifice... Behind the layers of copies lies a huge conspiracy to artificially tamper with the rules of the world. While testing each other and secretly checking and balancing each other, they turned their backs on each other in a desperate situation, tearing apart the hearts that had been closed to each other for many years.
Using fire to break through all the treachery, and using deduction to find a way out, the former enemies finally became each other's only anchor point, and they joined forces to overthrow the mastermind behind the rules of the world.
Purpose: Using rules, weird stories and suspense as a shell, it tells the story of two people who are burdened with trauma and have opposing positions, letting go of their barriers and redeeming each other; revealing the distortion and greed of human nature under the desire for power, conveying the core of sticking to justice, trust and bonds that can break the established destiny, and finding the warmth of two-way running in the darkness and weirdness.
