Zishi Seal

Core setting and world view Background: The near future (2045), an era when technology is highly developed but the human spirit is extremely anxious. Disaster name: "The Silent Cataclysm", popularly known as "Zi Shi Harvest". Rule mechanism: Trigger time: 00:00-01:00 is the high-risk period, and it will be triggered on time at 00:00. Exemption conditions: Must enter **"unconscious chaotic state"** (that is, deep sleep, and the activity of the prefrontal cortex of the brain is reduced to a minimum) between 23:00 and 00:00. Death determination: If there is still a "sense of self-control", "rational logic", "anxiety" or "dependence on external forces (drugs/technology)" in the consciousness, it will be judged as a "redundant process" and obliterated. Paradox: The more you want to sleep, the harder it is to fall asleep (because "wanting to sleep" itself is a kind of control and purpose); the harder you try to save yourself, the more deadly it becomes.
