A seemingly steady but actually mischievous bottom × a seemingly aloof but actually scheming top who loves disguises
Shen Xinghe grew up at a Daoist academy. His unreliable master kicked him out of the house under the excuse that he still had unfinished worldly ties, leaving him to lead an utterly ordinary life running an antique shop.
Then one day, he was dragged into a terrifying world filled with ghosts and monsters, where people supposedly could fulfill their obsessions. But...
Shen Xinghe: I have money and plenty of free time. What could I possibly be hung up on?
As his companions disappear one after another, the truth behind the Abyssal Midge game is revealed.
Instance One: The Locust Tree Well, Quan Town, Jiang Village
The Abyssal Midge game's meat grinder had barely started turning when the Rose Gentleman strode through the bloody pulp and announced, “Enjoy the game.”
At night, companions are gnawed apart. Prayers are offered to the moon. In the candlelight of the sacrifice, the paper figures in the ancestral hall count the hairs on the back of your neck with their glass eyes.
Other players: Ah, what is this place? Mom, I want to go home!
Shen Xinghe watches in silence, then chuckles to himself: I can't deal with my master, but I can deal with you.
Until someone says, “Big brother, you're amazing~”
Shen Xinghe: This scheming guy who loves telling lame jokes, go away!
Other elements: Rule-based horror, weirdos, Saggabamu, Juniper Berry Fairy Tales, crystal balls
