Rules of Desperation: I Refuse to Follow Them

The paranormal descends, plunging the entire world into a deadly game of rule-based horror. Break a rule, and the paranormal will erase you! While all the Chosen Ones tremble as they recite the Employee Handbook, terrified of making a single wrong move, Wu Cheng'an awakens a unique talent: [Rule Alteration]. Looking at the deadly rules in his hands, Wu Cheng'an grins. Rule One: “Do not look in a mirror after midnight.” While everyone else hides under the covers, Wu Cheng'an combs his hair in front of the mirror and asks the female ghost inside, “That hairstyle is so outdated. Want me to give you bangs?” Rule Two: “Do not trust anyone wearing red.” When the red-clad vengeful ghost attacks at point-blank range, Wu Cheng'an hands her a cup of milk tea. “Want some ice? You look pale. You could use a little sugar.” Rule Three: “There are no attendants on this train. Do not call for one.” Wu Cheng'an not only rings the bell like crazy, he even calls over the attendant to complain: “The air conditioning in this car is too cold. Turn it up by two degrees.” This is a story about turning a horror game into a pet-raising game. Until one day, the horror-game boss begs him through tears: “Bro, stop exploiting bugs! You’re about to break this whole level!”
