Believes everything he's told, gets duped into awakening, then starts spinning tall tales right alongside him, the bottom

One: In this world, rules are everything.

Two: There are safe zones, but you'll have to find them yourself.

Three: Good luck.

Good news: Su Jinxin is off work.

Bad news: It's midnight.

The streetlights stretched Su Jinxin's shadow long. As he gazed at the deserted streets, a famous urban legend suddenly came to mind:

"At midnight, wanderers who have a wish will meet a guide.

Neither human nor ghost, they lead straight to the other shore."

Su Jinxin had always been half-skeptical about the legend, but when a taxi glided silently to a stop in front of him, he opened the door and climbed in without a second thought.

Come on! It's already this late. Getting home even one second later would be disrespectful to the end of his workday.

But only after the taxi was cruising smoothly down the road and sleepiness came over him for no reason did Su Jinxin realize:

Oh no, I really did get into a ghost cab!!

This strange new world is cut off from the rest of the world, crawling with ghosts and monsters. Rules are everything, and the only way out is to find a uniquely shaped button.

Su Jinxin eyed Yu Chenzhou suspiciously. "But how did you know about the button?"

Yu Chenzhou looked at him with complete seriousness. "Would you believe me if I said I've always lived here?"

Su Jinxin stared at him in silence for three seconds, then said, "Are you trying to trick me again?"

Yu Chenzhou: "..." Is this what I get for telling the truth for once?

Do you believe there's a shortcut in life?

This is it.

Infinite flow.

I'll leave the rest to the story. -v-
