The Obedience Pit

In the shadow of Eastern Wu’s royal succession crisis, a cunning court scholar conducts a secret psychological experiment on a group of young disciples—testing how far they will obey authority to eliminate a rival prince. When the experiment spirals into real assassinations, mutilations, and a chain of ritualistic murders, the scholar realizes his subjects are not mere pawns but broken souls who have found dark liberation in obedience. As the bodies pile up in Jianye’s alleys, the experiment becomes a bloodbath that mirrors the court’s own fratricidal madness.
