After leaping to put an end to all his troubles, Qiu Yanguixiang discovered that he had come back to life.
The world he lived in had become a level in the mystery game Tower of Babel, and he was now a forensic examiner NPC, tasked with examining the corpse of "himself," who had died horribly after jumping off a building.
Qiu Yanguixiang: ...
Tower of Babel, an immersive virtual game all the rage in the main world. NPCs in its levels provide clues to players, while constantly facing the danger of being killed by them.
But Qiu Yanguixiang is different. Not only does he refuse to help the players, he fights back and kills them instead.
A psychiatric patient hiding a secret, a vampire count who revives punctually at midnight, an indescribable creature dwelling at the bottom of a lake, an unlucky contestant who gets the killer card in a deserted-island survival game...
With every new level, he gets a new identity. The players hate how cunning he is, but they can't see through his true nature.
Player A: I've tricked countless people, but this is the first time I've fallen into an NPC's trap. Damn it!
Player B: Ugh, I died over a dozen times in the last level. My points are almost wiped out. TAT
Player C: Same... At the broken bridge plot point, he begged me so pitifully to save him, then came up and stabbed me, sending me straight to my death.
Player D: Customer service, isn't NPC0413 a sociopath? He absolutely is, right?!
Qiu Yanguixiang: ? I just want to die, that's all!
