This is a domestic Cthulhu-style mystery novel. Mainly based on Lovecraft's old-style non-representational systematic writing style, local storylines and cultural symbols are used to express texts with Chinese characteristics.
This article tells the story of marine biologist Guo Wuchen. One day, he received news that fishermen in the Tumen River had caught a suspected new species of fish, so he led his assistants to conduct scientific research there. Unexpectedly, it was discovered that after being salvaged, this new species of fish would quickly take the shape of the human head of the first person it looked at. Then it would utter some strange language-like syllables, and then quickly rot like a jellyfish, leaving behind skeletons that seemed to record some kind of symbol. After Guo Wuchen recorded its characteristics in detail and discussed with his friend Mo Wen, an ancient linguist, he discovered that it was related to the ancient dynasty that frequently carried out human sacrifices. Guo Wuchen disappeared during the investigation, so Mo Wen went to the Changbai Mountain area to search for Guo, and further encountered mysteries one after another. . .
