The smell of disinfectant cannot mask the whisper of the abyss. When intern doctor Hui Jin stepped into the International Village Central Hospital, he thought he would only be greeted by heavy schoolwork and an exhausting night shift. However, a strange brass pocket watch with retrograde hands from his grandfather dragged him into a nightmare that transcended cognition.
An all-too-real dream, an "Old Zhou Ji" watch repair shop that disappeared without a trace after waking up, a watch repairman screaming "Eye of the Stars" before he collapsed... These are just the prelude. In the hospital, bizarre cases began to emerge: patients whose mouths were densely covered with inhuman fangs, infected patients whose skin grew gray-green scales and mucus, and souls tortured by deep-sea dreams and inexplicable "calling" sounds. Their symptoms are by no means any disease in the textbooks, but more like some kind of horrific erosion from the eternal abyss - a terrifying transformation that drags humans into "abyss divers".
He must uncover the secrets of pocket watches and old books, trace back to his grandfather's secretive days as an educated youth, and find a way to stop this "deep dive" before it madly engulfs the city. However, every time he searched, he got closer to the viscous darkness that overwhelmed everything. When the dam of reality is completely broken, is the ancient whisper from the deep sea the final echo that mankind will finally listen to?
