Chen Xu is mute.
On the day he left the orphanage, the ringleader who had bullied him for eighteen years pointed at him and cursed, "You worthless mute! What good are you? You might as well be dead."
A flash of white light, and Chen Xu and his bully were transported to a horror-filled world crawling with monsters.
Here, no one is allowed to make a sound. They must also solve each instance and clear it within the time limit, or be mercilessly devoured by monsters.
The bully arrogantly ordered Chen Xu to find clues to clear the instance. The next second, his head was bitten off.
As blood sprayed everywhere and the monster chewed with a loud "crunch, crunch," Chen Xu wiped the bright red blood splattered on his eyelid and smiled.
This world is just wonderful.

A strange new character appeared on the rankings.
No matter how terrifying the monsters or how horrifying the scenes, he remained expressionless and never made a sound in fear. He held firmly to the number one spot.
At a meeting, more than a dozen monsters eagerly volunteered to face him in his next instance. They all failed without exception, and in the end had no choice but to call in the top-ranked big shot on the horror leaderboard.
A cold draft swept through the dim room. From the damp, foul-smelling bathroom came a steady, strange dripping sound, and the air was thick with a sharp, overpowering stench of blood.
"Creak." A pale hand pushed open the bathroom door, silently making a beckoning gesture.
The young man entered at an unhurried pace, his expression calm. When he saw a ghostly figure gracefully climbing out of a bathtub full of blood, his expression finally shifted a little.
The monster twisted its head from side to side, then looked up eagerly, only to see disgust filling the young man's beautiful, star-bright eyes.
The legendary monster big shot, who had once terrified a thousand people into elimination: "..."
It raised a hand and removed its own head. Cold blood quickly ran across the floor, but the young man didn't even bat an eyelid.
The monster: "..."
It put its head back on and waved its sixteen arms as it approached the young man.
The young man smiled. His fair, wooden-looking face instantly came alive, handsome enough to hold anyone's gaze.
The monster froze. The monster hurriedly pulled its hands back. The monster... blushed for the first time, shyly fluttering its sixteen hands. "C-could you tell me your name?"
