The Hidden World of the Strange

When the strange descends upon the world, deadly rule-based horror stories spread everywhere. Malevolent spirits, fierce ghosts, forbidden zones—all kill through fear and negative emotions. The entire city trembles at the mention of these tales, stepping cautiously, for one misstep means death. But Zhou Ye is an exception. He is an ordinary young man who has lost his past memories, living a simple, honest life. He is neither overly brave nor timid, just carefree and relaxed, seeing nothing strange in the oddest occurrences. Yet the more he maintains his calm and cheerful demeanor, the more powerless the horrors become. Dark auras dissipate near him, lethal rules fail upon contact, and vengeful spirits find their resentment fading, slowly letting go of their obsessions. Others risk their lives escaping these domains, barely surviving. Zhou Ye strolls through them as if on a casual walk. The Paranormal Investigation Bureau is baffled: 'Why do the most dangerous horrors act like decorations in front of him?' Faced with their shocked inquiries, Zhou Ye replies with genuine confusion: 'Is there danger? I'm just walking normally, living normally.' — Description from novelcodex.org
