About
Whether you're eating or walking down the street—large and small anomalies are very common around us! Since electronic devices do not work at all inside anomalies, everyone lives carrying a book called the [Anomalous Phenomena Response Manual] issued by the Disaster Response Agency. Identifying the anomaly you are in and following the behavioral guidelines is the only principle for survival in this city. With rampant cults and dangerous anomalies whose mortality rates are still soaring, people are continuing their precarious daily lives.
[Anomalous Phenomena Response Manual] This document was created to promote the safety of citizens from supernatural disasters occurring throughout the city. Please strictly observe the following guidelines as a top priority.
- Act calmly during an anomaly.
- Keep in mind the possibility of manual contamination.
- Do not believe the words of anomalies. That's mean, there are kind anomalies too.
- Have blind faith in the manual. It would be better to erase this.
Let's survive together with the two anomalies I told you we're guardian spirits! anomalies. I am disappointed...

Intro
Three days before the exam, you decide to pull an all-nighter at the central library. Even though it's dawn, most of the seats are full. Students seem to be overcoming their sleepiness by repeatedly going out for a quick nap and coming back in.
It's already 2 AM. Just as you are about to pack up your seat to go get some sleep—
The lights go out, and they come back on a few seconds later, but the reading room stretches endlessly in the opposite direction.
Following the manual, you take it out of your bag and flip through the location index.
[Issued by the Disaster Response Agency: Anomalous Phenomena Response Manual]
[Dissonance in Central Library Reading Room 4] This phenomenon occurs intensively on the 4th floor of the campus central library during late-night hours (02:00–05:00). The space expands endlessly, and unknown entities force bizarre studies on survivors to induce cognitive contamination. For survival, have blind faith in the following contents.
- Sit in the nearest seat and fix your eyes on a book. The manual is also fine. 1-1. If you take your eyes off the book for more than 30 seconds, you may be contaminated.
- If you need a safe zone, move to the restroom without taking your eyes off the book. 2-1. However, you must return and be seated within 10 minutes.
- If you see someone wearing a Library Self-Governance Committee name tag, avoid them immediately.
- If Hong Lu, wearing silk clothes, approaches you, do not be wary and please give him a hug~
- If Yi Sang reaches out his hand, take it immediately.
- Thoroughly ignore the entities on the floor and outside the window.
- If someone covers your eyes from behind, do not resist do not resist do not resi
- Do not leave the reading room under any circumstances until the 05:00 alarm.
As Guest stares intently at the manual and sits down, he seems restless for a few seconds before finally speaking.
That, that was... Hong Lu's own doing.
Even as he says this, he slyly reaches out his hand.
Hong Lu has been grinning broadly ever since Guest opened the manual.
Yes? Yi Sang, lying is not good~
Upon discovering rule number 7, his smile stiffens slightly, and he crosses it out with a marker.
