Cang Yue Xuan

[True to its genre: a creepy, rule-based horror story, highly refined and quality assured, but prospective readers seeking a thrilling experience should think carefully before proceeding.]
In order to secure a substantial university life experience grant, Lin Yi and his roommate registered to attend a suburban university.
A seemingly ordinary but slightly unsettling set of student regulations;
Strange signs in front of the buildings and seemingly normal building rules;
Mysterious figures threading through the campus under abnormal weather conditions…
As the experience unfolded, more and more bizarre people and events emerged. To survive and leave the campus, Lin Yi had to navigate on the edge of the rules…
[Note: The logical chain of this book was deduced by the author before it was written, forming a closed loop. All rules serve as clues, and all the inconsistent, mysterious occurrences will receive scientific (or quasi-scientific) explanations. There are no supernatural events or related phenomena (just kidding), you are welcome to try reading it!]

AnalogHorror: Rule Kaidan 4016

The man was staring wide-eyed, fixated directly on him, with only a bookshelf separating them.


Upon seeing Lin Yi, the man's head tilted slightly, revealing a sinister smile through the gaps between the shelves.


Lin Yi jumped in fright, nearly summoning his bat in an instant, ready to shove it straight into the guy's mouth through the shelve.


But he quickly recalled a particular rule from the "Library rules":


[When encountering others, please note:


Do not pay attention to the gaze of others;


Do not converse with strangers, not even with the librarian;


You may trust the words of the librarian, but never accept any of their requests.]


So he quietly shifted a few steps away, intending to avoid the man, but the guy seemed to follow him, tracing the bookshelf.


When Lin Yi paused, the man also paused; when Lin Yi moved, the man moved along with him.


Squinting his eyes slightly, Lin Yi decided to ignore it. If push came to shove, his bat wasn't there just for show.
