When the sealed scrolls of an ancient, wondrous book are opened, threads of fate draw the protagonists into a maze where reality and the unknown intertwine. The book’s eerie chapters are like a warped mirror reflecting the myriad forms of the world, with murder scenes and secret chambers in ancient mansions appearing as shards in its reflection. As the protagonists search for the truth, they are doing more than solving cases: they are questioning the boundary between appearance and essence. Each truth that comes to light is like a door opening onto an even deeper mystery. With every step in their endless pursuit of answers, they approach the boundary between existence and nothingness, embarking on a strange and mysterious journey through cases from the wondrous book, one that tests the nature of existence and truth.
