On an seemingly ordinary day, a driverless bus carrying Kong Linzhang, Wei Zhiyuan, and a group of cursed individuals arrives at the Black Haunted House. Every so often, a blood-red portal within the house forcibly pulls the group into a terrifying world to carry out horrific events. Kong Linzhang and Wei Zhiyuan, as witnesses, are filled with intense regret and resentment, and unexpectedly gain the ability to travel through time. During their travels, they foresee crucial clues using information asymmetry, but their lack of understanding of the rules of time travel hinders their actions. Meanwhile, a mysterious villainous organization, determined to prevent the truth from being revealed, constantly sabotages the protagonists' search for clues. The protagonists must not only contend with the harsh environment and unknown threats beyond the Haunted House and the blood-red portal, but also break the curse within a limited time. In the process, they are forced to choose sides with some of the cursed individuals due to ideological differences, creating a conflict between factions. The protagonists are also misled by the villains, leading to misunderstandings and misguided actions. Even after successfully breaking the curse, they discover that the "butterfly effect" has caused irreversible consequences, and the victory comes at a heavy price.

— Spreading madness in exchange for divine power; I worship ancient gods in the modern city.

Li Yunfeng's life was originally like a cup of weak tea, until he bought a strange black game console at a flea market.

That night, the screen lit up, and a whisper echoed in my mind:

The cognitive artifact "Whisperer" has been activated.

[Initial task: Hum this "pleasant melody" to the three people]

[Failure Penalty: Permanent Cognitive Impairment]

He did as instructed.

The next day, the three colleagues began frantically dividing everything—cactus thorns, reports, even mobile phone screens—precisely into two halves.

He received his first blessing: "The art of cooking divided into two parts."

—It turns out that he wasn't bound to any legitimate system at all, but rather to an evil worship system that required him to "spread madness" in exchange for "offerings" and power from unspeakable ancient gods.

From that moment on, his life spiraled completely out of control:

The hummed melody plunges one into a bizarre and obsessive state;

The exchange abilities are all increasingly bizarre.

Colleagues, families of cultivators, government "relevant departments," multinational giant "Faith Technology"... all regarded him as a "source of pollution";

But the real threat goes far beyond that—

Beyond the starry sky, the ancient rulers are slowly awakening;

Behind the system lies a millennia-old game of chess between ancient gods;

He is both a pawn and the one who is about to overturn the chessboard.

This is a path to godhood from which there is no turning back.

—It is also a final war for the survival of civilization.
