Chapter 1: The Strange Stories of Rules
[The author has no brains and can't write any logical plots or copy that require thinking, so this is a brainless and cool article.]
[This is a fictional world, please do not compare it with reality. ]

Blue Star.
July 4, 2074.
On an ordinary morning, something unusual happened.
At 7:04, a cold mechanical voice rang out in everyone's mind:
【bite--】
[It has been detected that the conditions for the advent of "Rules of Weirdness" have been met. 】
[Creating a copy world....Loading strange information...]
[The real-life horror suspense game "Rules of Weirdness" has been loaded and the game rules are loading...]
The game rules are as follows: 1. The game system will randomly select one player from each country to enter the game instance to experience the game. Friendly reminder: "Rules of Strange Stories" is a real-life horror suspense game. Therefore, dying in the game also means dying in real life, but the injuries will not be brought back to reality.
[2. Players will have a four-day break after each game.]
3. Once a player dies, a corresponding rule will befall their country. Each player is encouraged to sacrifice their life for the destruction of their country. If a player survives, both the player and the country will receive corresponding rewards.
4. "Rules of Weirdness" has a total of one hundred dungeons of varying difficulty. When a player completes all of them, "Rules of Weirdness" will shut down the server and award corresponding rewards. Note: The number of times players from each country have completed a dungeon is cumulative and will not be cleared due to a player's death.
5. Players' gameplay will be live streamed in the "Rules of Weirdness" app. Note: Each game will have three opportunities to communicate with players, so use them quickly.
[The first game will start in half an hour, and 234 players will be randomly selected.]
[Friendly reminder: Please actively use your weak weapons to fight against the weirdness, as you will die faster that way.]
This strange, cold mechanical sound lasted for about three minutes.
Until it disappeared, a large number of people did not react to what happened.
Even those who came to their senses quickly would subconsciously look at the people beside them or around them. They subconsciously thought that there was something wrong with their brains or that they were hallucinating.
But soon, such thoughts disappeared.
"Damn! You heard that too?!" - This sentence appears second only to sweet talk around the world.
"What's this weird rule talk? Are these aliens invading the Blue Planet?!"
"Wait, is this true? This is too far-fetched! You'll die if you fail to clear a level?"
"Fuck it, July 4, 1974, that sounds like 'die, die.'"
"No, if this is true, what should we do?! If we choose an unreliable person as a player, wouldn't it be the end of the world?! It says that the country will also perish!"
All over the world, both in reality and online, there is a lot of negative emotions such as fear and panic.
.....
Dragon Country.
In a mental hospital located on the edge of Kyoto's suburbs.
Lin Jiu was originally listening to Old Li telling the story of Old Wang next door before he was admitted to the hospital, but the sudden mechanical sound stimulated many mentally ill patients, so that there was some noise in the mental hospital at this moment.
"Old Li, let's go watch the fun!"
Lin Jiu, who loved to watch the fun, didn't plan to continue listening to the gossip, and turned to Old Li and said.
[Li Jianmin, male, 61 years old, height...]
As Old Li came into Lin Jiu's sight, a detailed piece of information about Old Li appeared in his eyes.
This blue and red frame that looks like a system has existed since Lin Jiu could remember.
It can give detailed information about anything Lin Jiu sees or encounters, but this frame is a bit stupid, so most of the time Lin Jiu chooses to ignore it.
Old Li didn't say anything, just stared blankly, as always.
Lin Jiu was already used to it, so he stood up and ran out of the ward.
He was just curious about the cold voice and didn't care.
.......
Inside an office in Kyoto.
A middle-aged man gradually came to his senses three seconds after the mechanical sound disappeared.
He subconsciously looked at the secretary who was standing at the table and suddenly got stuck in the middle of reporting. The moment he met the other party's surprised gaze, the leader did not hesitate at all. He picked up the landline phone on the table that was out of touch with this era and quickly dialed a few numbers.
The moment the call was connected, Xia Minghai issued an urgent order:
"Right now, immediately set up a temporary department to deal with this strange rule. The subsequent procedures will be completed later. Hurry!"
The reason why it was temporary was, firstly, because it was too sudden, and secondly, to avoid it being a misunderstanding.
Of course, Xia Minghai knew in his heart that this was not a misunderstanding.
Secretary Wang Zhengde also reacted quickly at this time
"Then should we look for that...player?"
"Half an hour is a bit rushed."
Xia Minghai frowned slightly. The population of Long Country was really too large. It was not impossible to find one for nearly 2 billion people, but it would be delayed by some annoying things.
"Let's release the news and try to calm the people down."
Xia Minghai made a judgment quickly.
Of course, he did not forget to calm the emotions of the people of Long Country. He was sure that many people were now in panic and chaos.
"Yes." Wang Zhengde put down the folder in his hand and left quickly without continuing to report on his work.
Xia Minghai had no intention of looking at the documents. He stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.
He often stood here, because from here, most of Kyoto could be seen at a glance.
However, the sudden change a few minutes ago caused Xia Minghai to feel a surge of worry and fear in his heart, so much so that the magnificent scenery before him was tinged with a dark color.
Xia Minghai closed his eyes and sorted out his thoughts and emotions.
As a human being, he can naturally be afraid, but as a leader, he must never show any cowardice or retreat at any time.
"I'm worried about this weird rule where players are selected before the game starts..."
A soft sigh sounded in the office.
