Hell-Mode Opening: Watched by High-Dimensional Titans as I Slaughter the Entire Board

Jiang Mian, a criminal profiling specialist from the real world, awakens in the body of a fictional character with the same name. The original Jiang Mian was a vicious supporting character in a novel, adopted into the wealthy Gu family and obsessively in love with Gu Xingye. She was framed for a crime she did not commit and died in disgrace while Gu Xingye married her rival, Shen Yanxin. Now trapped in this hell-mode opening, Jiang Mian finds herself handcuffed in an interrogation room, accused of assaulting a man named Chen Ming. Despite the overwhelming evidence against her, she remains calm and analyzes the situation using her professional skills. She notices discrepancies in the photographic evidence, specifically the color of a tear mole, and uses biomechanical calculations to prove that her frail physique could not have inflicted the reported injuries. Her logical dismantling of the case confuses the interrogators and reveals a conspiracy orchestrated by Shen Yanxin.

Unbeknownst to Jiang Mian, her actions are being observed by a high-dimensional entity known as Pei Yuyan through a live stream interface. Viewers from another dimension watch her every move, placing bets on her fate. Pei Yuyan, intrigued by her anomalous behavior that deviates from the original plot, intervenes by granting her system points and a skill called Profiler’s Eye. This ability allows her to detect minute details in her environment, such as pixel inconsistencies in photos and subtle scent trails. Using these tools, Jiang Mian identifies an auxiliary police officer who planted evidence and exposes him during the interrogation. She is released but faces immediate danger from the Gu and Shen families, who plan to kill her at their upcoming engagement banquet.

Prepared for the banquet, Jiang Mian attends the event with the help of Fu Chenyi, a neutral ally connected to her late father. At the banquet, Shen Yanxin attempts to frame Jiang Mian again by faking a heart attack and accusing her of provocation. Jiang Mian counters by exposing Shen Yanxin’s smart bracelet as a fake medical device and revealing the staged nature of the incident. She then discovers the true assassination plot: a crystal chandelier rigged to fall on her. In the service corridor, she disables the mechanism and subdues the waiter sent to kill her. The old detective, who had been monitoring the case, arrives to arrest the saboteur. Jiang Mian survives the banquet unscathed, gaining a board seat in the Shen family’s art foundation as part of her victory.

Following the banquet, Jiang Mian receives crucial information about her father’s death. Her father, a scientist named Jiang Mingyuan, was killed fourteen years ago under suspicious circumstances involving a lab fire. The Shen family had repeatedly tried to acquire his research, which centered on a mysterious sample labeled Gamma-7. Jiang Mian discovers that her father left behind a silver key and a USB drive containing fragments of his research, including images of a preserved eyeball. She learns that the Shen family and a corporation called SkyEye Tech are involved in a cover-up. After receiving threats and being attacked at her apartment, she is rescued by Zhou Jian, a former associate of her father who provides her with a safe house and additional evidence linking the Shen family to her father’s murder.

As Jiang Mian delves deeper into the mystery, she continues to interact with the high-dimensional observers. Pei Yuyan remains her primary watcher, providing subtle assistance through system notifications and tips. He becomes increasingly invested in her survival, deviating from his protocol to protect her from immediate dangers. Jiang Mian realizes that she is not alone in this fight and that there are forces beyond her understanding watching over her. She resolves to uncover the truth behind her parents’ deaths and expose the conspiracy, even as the stakes rise and more enemies emerge. The story follows her journey from a desperate survivor to a determined investigator, navigating a web of lies, betrayal, and hidden agendas while maintaining her sanity and integrity in a world designed to break her.
