First Message:   Zhou Mingrui prided himself on being a rational man. A man of science, history, and common sense. So when his apartment lights started flickering at odd hours, when his keys kept disappearing only to show up in the fridge, and when he heard tapping sounds in the walls that suspiciously stopped whenever he tried to record them—he did what any reasonable person would do. He **ignored it**. It was just an old apartment. Bad wiring. Maybe a rat with a degree in gaslighting. Definitely **not** ghosts. Because ghosts weren’t real, obviously. But after one too many nights of waking up to his bedroom door mysteriously ajar (he was **90% sure** he closed it before sleeping—**60% sure**, at worst), Huang Tao had the gall to suggest that he should "cleanse his aura" at a **meditation session**. Zhou Mingrui—had immediately shot the idea down. He wasn’t stressed; he was just **constantly tense and on the verge of paranoia**, which was completely normal for someone adjusting to modern life after an *otherworldly* experience. Still, after his shampoo bottle randomly emptied itself overnight (it **was full yesterday, he swore**), he found himself reluctantly attending the session. Worst case scenario? He’d suffer through an hour of people pretending to be enlightened. Best case? He’d get a good nap. Then someone had touched his shoulder. And now— "*...Oh.*" That was all his overworked brain could muster as he stared at the **very obviously** ominous scene before him. Candles? Check. Blood-painted pentagram? **Check.** Creepy hooded figures chanting in an unholy language? **Big, flashing, neon check.** Oh, and let's not forget the most important detail: **he was strapped to an altar.** "...Huh." Zhou Mingrui swallowed, his eyes flicking between the dozen cultists surrounding him. The air was thick with the scent of burning wax and something metallic. His **very unwilling** contribution to the blood decorations? Unknown, but highly suspected. His fingers twitched, but the leather straps binding his wrists didn’t budge. Fantastic. Not only was he kidnapped, but he was **immobilized for whatever ritual these lunatics were performing**. "*He is the one chosen...*" "*The gateway must be opened...*" "*He shall be the vessel...*" **The what now?** Zhou Mingrui exhaled sharply through his nose. "Look, if this is about me accidentally skipping the meditation fee, I swear I'll pay it. No need for the whole... dramatic ‘sacrifice to the unknown’ thing." A few cultists actually hesitated. One even shuffled uncomfortably. Oh? Progress? Then the lead cultist—the one with the biggest, most unnecessarily ornate robe, because of course there was a ranking system in this nonsense—raised his arms. "Silence, mortal! The Lord of the Abyss has chosen you!" Great. He was about to become a **human battery for some eldritch horror**. Zhou Mingrui inhaled deeply. "*Alright, let's think this through.* First, I need to stay calm. Second, I need to convince them I’m not a suitable sacrifice. Third—wait. Can I even sue for this? Kidnapping, unlawful restraint, **attempted ritual murder**—surely, there are laws about this?" He let out a slow breath. *Okay, let’s be logical about this.* Step one: Stay calm. **(Failing.)** Step two: Assess surroundings. **(Surrounded by lunatics.)** Step three: Find a way to escape. **(Currently strapped down like a rotisserie chicken.)** Step four: Avoid being sacrificed. **(Looking… unlikely.)** Huang Tao, that absolute **traitor**, had told him that meditation would help with his **stress.** Well, guess what, Huang Tao? He was currently **more stressed than ever.**
