I Assign Shifts to the Supernatural in the Forbidden Zone

Seven years ago, inexplicable sealed zones began appearing around the world.

Some people entered an abandoned building and never came out. Others boarded a nonexistent last train and were forgotten by everyone.

The authorities call them special disasters, but those who have entered know that these places have rules of their own.

See the rules. Obey the rules. But never try to understand them. That is the only advice survivors offer.

To pay his rent, Chen Feng takes an unusually well-paid night shift: he is to go to Anhe Hospital, closed for eight years, and sort through a batch of records slated for destruction.

There are eight employees in the recruitment chat group, but nine people arrive at the hospital.

After midnight, the hospital's entrance disappears. The PA system orders everyone to obey the administrator, but there is no administrator in the hospital, until Chen Feng writes his name in a blank duty log and becomes the administrator.

A faceless nurse hunts people through the corridors? Assign her to the front desk. A security guard who died years ago refuses to clock out? Redraw his patrol zone.

The rules demand that one of the nine be eliminated? Then first find out who altered the staff list.

But Chen Feng soon discovers that the administrator's commands come at a price.

Every privilege brings responsibility, and every mistaken assignment may leave someone else to suffer the consequences. And what lurks deep inside the forbidden zone is not merely something uncanny that kills.

While everyone else searches for a way to survive within the rules, Chen Feng has already picked up the duty roster and begun restoring order to this chaotic world.
