The Shelter of Tricks

Have you ever thought that the world we take for granted is actually based on a layer of fragile "rules"? For example, "Mirrors will reflect images", "There will be no extra steps on the stairs late at night", "No one will tap you on the shoulder when you are alone"... Once these basic rules are distorted, tampered with or "tainted", secrets will descend. My name is Chen Yuan, codenamed "Code", and I am a new investigator at the "Abnormal Phenomenon Containment and Rule Reconstruction Center". My job is to go deep into these "strange realms" where the rules are disordered, find and understand the twisted "source rules", and either "contain" them or "patch" them to prevent the spread of disasters. My weapons are not guns, but observation, logic and a constantly updated "Survival Code". But as I gradually deepened, I found that the most terrifying thing was not the obvious weird stories, but the cold truth hidden behind the rules - about the origin of the asylum, about the nature of the world, and... Who am I? Here, trust is a luxury and logic is a lifeline. And the first and most important rule is: never completely believe in any rule, including this one.
