Anomalous Zone

Beneath Star City lies an invisible web. Three years ago, a secret experiment codenamed “Echo” spiraled out of control, and the city's fear began to solidify into something tangible: “Anomaly Zones.” Each zone has its own bizarre rules, and anyone who enters must figure them out to make it out alive. Gu Yan, a 28-year-old data analyst, was just an ordinary wage earner. Then he got trapped in a restricted zone aboard the last subway train and discovered that his father, who vanished three years ago, had already left clues in a notebook on how to crack the zones. The rules never lie. But some rules are traps in themselves. When the same number kept appearing, 47, Gu Yan realized that every restricted zone shared the same underlying logic. And the answer lay in the deepest part of the city.
