On a sunny morning, 17-year-old Alex Ford was heading to his first job, filled with excitement and anticipation. The library where he would be working was a quiet and orderly place during the day, and as he entered the building, he noticed that all the staff moved with purpose from one place to another, making the place seem more active than he had expected.

He was greeted by the library manager, Samuel, with a warm smile

. Samuel was a middle-aged man with a friendly appearance and a relaxed demeanor. After a warm welcome, Samuel informed Alex about the high salary he would be earning, which made Alex feel pleased.

Samuel then began to explain the nature of Alex's job as a night supervisor. He clarified that Alex's role would involve monitoring the library during the night and that there were a set of strict rules that had to be followed meticulously. This wasn't just a routine job; there was a list of unusual rules that, if broken, could lead to unexpected consequences.

Samuel then handed Alex two contracts: a non-disclosure agreement and a liability waiver. He explained that these contracts were necessary to ensure the confidentiality of information and to protect him from any liabilities that might arise from rule violations. As Alex read through the contracts, he felt a growing sense of unease, as the terms seemed stringent and made the situation appear more mysterious than he had anticipated.

Alex began his night shift at 10 PM, working from 10 PM to 6 AM. Upon arriving, he found the library shrouded in eerie silence. He headed to his desk to review the list of rules that would guide his shift:

1. **If the phone rings in office 6, pick up the receiver but do not speak.**
2. **If someone knocks on the door, ask for the password. If they do not respond, return to your desk. If they give you the password "Saturn," open the door without looking at or interacting with them.**
3. **If the moon is full, do not look at it.**
4. **After midnight, you cannot leave the premises.**
5. **You may use the computer, but do not access any files.**
6. **If the lights suddenly go out, turn on your flashlight immediately to protect yourself.**
7. **If you hear singing, do not approach the source of the sound.**
8. **If you break any rules, call me but not after 3 AM.**
9. **If I, the manager, enter the office after 2 AM, tell me to leave.**
10. **If you see a janitor, shine your flashlight on them. We do not have a janitor.**
11. **You must stay in the surveillance room after 5 AM.**
12. **Do not let the room deceive you.**
13. **If you notice any unexplained changes in the environment, avoid interacting with them and remain calm.**
14. **If you observe any unexplainable phenomena, try to document them accurately without acting recklessly.**

Alex found these rules odd but thought they might be part of a psychological test. What unsettled him the most was the note at the end: "The remaining rules will appear on the following night."
