Echoes of the Abyss: The Infinite Paradox Book Title Introduction
When Chen Yan, an ancient book restorer, pried open the black wooden box left behind by his grandfather on the top floor of the library, he did not realize that he was pushing open the door of chaos with his own hands. The R'lyeh runes of the bronze compass in the box penetrated into the skin and turned into dynamic tattoos on the retina. At midnight every day, broken fragments of future disasters were projected: the subway crashed into the wall with intertwined tentacles, the old building burned with static green fire, and the hospital patients melted into the wall and disappeared.
In order to trace the truth behind his grandfather's disappearance in 1998, he followed the compass and entered seven dimensional layers: in the time loop layer, the rainy night of 1998 repeats forever; in the biological layer, the city is a flesh and blood hatchery, with eyeball street lights tracking living creatures; in the swamp of the forgotten layer, there are chewed memory bubbles floating there.
With each deep layer, there is a squirming purple line under the skin, and the whisper of "join the chaos" in the ear becomes clearer. When he discovers that the dimensional layer is the remains of the domain of the old rulers, and that the so-called "disaster warning" is actually the eating signal for the alien god Azog to select the sacrifices, Chen Yan must either become the old god's container, detonate the forbidden bomb and perish together, or use his own reason to construct a paradox.
