Exposing the Killing Line at the Beginning Shocked the World

A legendary investigator witnesses a series of phenomena isolated by a "kill line" on the ground floor of Seattle. This invisible line divides society into layers: above the line is the normal world, below the line is the folded abyss. Offline, corpses become resources - "disco rice" is the remains covered with maggots, and the ashes of addicts are even re-sold; A black construction worker was reported by the Ku Klux Klan for saving money to marry a wife. He was nailed to a "skewer" and burned to death. His eyelids were cut off and he was forced to open his eyes and was tortured. His girlfriend, who was pregnant with his child, was not reported by any media. A top hospital used "free abortion" as a bait to conduct live experiments on pregnant women's fetuses. Poor people became "sacrifice" for testing new drugs. After their deaths, their families were compensated with just enough money to pay off the three-month mortgage. Legendary investigators discovered that the "kill line" is moving upward every day—unemployment, illness, and accidents will push people offline. The truth offline is not reported because news only exists online. All he did was stand under a streetlight and count how many people were approaching the line?
