Please Do Not Archive Me

When archive restorer Xu Tinglan wakes up, he finds himself standing at the front desk of the White Sparrow Inn.

There are only six check-in rules on the wall, and every player is reciting them.

But on the back of his key card, there is an extra seventh rule that should not exist:

Xu Tinglan soon discovers, however, that the truly terrifying thing about ghost stories is not death. It is that someone can write a perfectly plausible cause of death for you.

Someone goes missing, and it is recorded as checking out.

Someone dies on the seventh floor, and is assigned to a room that was never open to guests.

Xu Tinglan can see the deleted rules, and restore the objections that have been erased.

After he tears apart the “correct answers” of one instance after another, the System finally sends him an invitation:

Are you willing to become the one who writes the new rules?
