Strange Sequence

The world has always been haunted. It's just that ghosts live according to a certain "order". They appear and disappear on time and never go out of schedule. Humans call this "normal" and call those that occasionally cross the line "hallucinations." Until 2025, all order collapses at the same time. Lin Xu, a 24-year-old former graduate student in psychology, received the last call from his mentor in the early morning of that day - "I am in the mirror now." The mentor said, "If someone smiles at you in the mirror first, don't believe it is you." After hanging up the phone, the mentor disappeared, replaced by a smile in the mirror that was two millimeters crooked. From then on, he saw what the world really looked like: the walls were breathing, there were eyes in the cracks, and there was a person trapped behind every mirror. He carries a blank notebook with him and unexpectedly discovers that "writing it down" itself can give rules to the chaos and weirdness. There is only one gilded word on the cover of this notebook - Preface. And the more he records, the closer he comes to a shocking truth: the world was originally a book full of rules, and someone tore out a few key pages. Now, all the holes are leaking air at the same time. When order itself becomes a shackles, is chaos the real freedom? Lin Xu must find a way between "rebuilding the old cage" and "letting absolute chaos" allow all life - whether human or weird - to coexist. It's just that the first person to go up that road often can't come back.
