The day Jiang Zuoyu discovered that the world was trapped in a loop happened to be the day he met Luo Jianshu.
To uncover the truth, he joined a "melodramatic script" game. He resolved to lead his teammates to victory, but the catch was that they had to act everything out themselves.
Jiang Zuoyu has face blindness...
The first game immediately descended into chaos. He mistook his teammate Luo Jianshu, who was playing the "unforgettable senior," for the "murderous villain," and attacked him on sight. Straddling Luo Jianshu, he pressed a hotel pillow hard over his face.
[System warning: This behavior violates your character setting. Ten points deducted.]
[System warning: Relationship with "Unforgettable Senior" deteriorated. Ten points deducted.]
Jiang Zuoyu was stunned. Panting, he looked up at the transparent screen and saw that their team's score had sunk to the bottom. They had both been punished, too.
Luo Jianshu thought Jiang Zuoyu was useless. He hated useless people even more than cockroaches.
Luo Jianshu, who treasured his hair, swore that if he ever teamed up with Jiang the Useless again, he'd shave it all off.
As luck would have it, Luo Jianshu accidentally got Jiang Zuoyu's only friend punished to death. That settled things between him and Jiang Zuoyu. From then on, they both did everything they could to kill each other.
But Jiang Zuoyu slowly realized he really couldn't beat Luo Jianshu.
It wasn't that he wasn't smart enough or strong enough. His opponent was cheating, and wasn't even human...
In the end, Luo Jianshu, who wasn't human, sent Jiang Zuoyu into the "death scripts," where he faced a thoroughly evil crime boss, a lovesick psycho who killed without blinking, a vicious escape-room proprietress, a theme park manager who was a beast in human guise...
Countless NPCs longed to take Jiang Zuoyu's life so they could escape their confinement.
Jiang Zuoyu sighed. He never swore, but now he blurted out, "Luo Jianshu, even if I die, I'm dragging you to hell with me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a hand patted him from behind. Jiang Zuoyu turned around and saw a close-cropped young man holding a bloodstained iron rod.
Luo the Crew Cut: "I know the way to hell. Want me to show you?"
Jiang Zuoyu didn't know that the evil god who had escaped with him from the orphanage had created an entirely new world so he could find him again.
Luo Jianshu kept filling the new world with NPCs, preparing to welcome its ultimate master.
"Jianshu, what exactly is an evil god?"
"A god who fills the darkness in the world."
"Is that so? Then why do you keep creating light?"
"Because you stand in the light."
In a deadly game, Jiang Zuoyu found the person he treasured most. He fought with all his might to clear that person's name.
He took his "evil god" by the hand, defied fate, and saved all of humanity.

I was feeling a bit depressed today, so I clicked on the update and read it all in one go. My mood was instantly healed. Thank you to the author Baobao for the magic of words~
I found that the little foreshadowings the author buried every time were so wonderful. When I saw the revelation later, I couldn't help but go back and read it!
