It started with a trashy ad Jiang Ning saw online.
Then came a text message on her phone from the Anomaly Investigation Bureau:
[The Anomaly Investigation Bureau reminds you: The following are the general rules for rule-based horror scenarios. Be sure to memorize and carefully follow them.]
[1. After receiving this message, do not tell anyone you know. Go to the location on time, following the instructions in the previous message you received.
2. Most rules are trustworthy, but beware of certain incorrect rules.
3. Look for the rules immediately after entering a scenario.
4. Check the time immediately after entering a scenario.
5. Count everyone immediately after entering a scenario, and confirm one another's identities with your companions.
6. Confirm your identity as soon as possible after entering a scenario.
7. Always remember that you are human, with exactly two eyes, one nose, one mouth...]
The bizarre rules of a supermarket, a terrifying world inside a mirror, the strange Sunshine Elementary School, a train roaring past, a human factory rumbling as it operates...
Other Anomaly Investigators selected for the instances: Afraid of the rules, guessing which rules are correct, carefully following them, and nearly getting killed by the rules by accident QAQ
Jiang Ning: Follow the rules, use the rules, toy with the rules!
After experiencing countless scenarios, Jiang Ning finally saw Them.
She heard countless mad whispers coalesce into a single sentence:
I see you!
Content warnings:
1. The heroine follows a cool, brilliant strategist route. Her personality changes a little later on. The hero follows a strength-based route and is a little ball of sunshine.
2. The golden finger is very minor.
3. I'll try to work out the logic before each instance. If you find a plot hole, please go easy on me QAQ
4. Feel free to jump in. I'm reliable: three thousand words a day before signing with a publisher, and at least three thousand afterward, depending on how things go.
5. I'll add more warnings if I think of any.
