On the edge of a quiet town, a long-abandoned ancient house exudes a strange atmosphere. Whenever the clock strikes midnight, shrill cries are heard in the house, and then a bizarre murder occurs. Lin Yu, a young policeman with a persistent desire to explore supernatural cases due to childhood shadows, volunteered to investigate this series of thrilling cases.
The first case occurred in the basement of an ancient house. The victim died in a horrifying manner, with his eyes wide open, as if he had seen extremely terrifying things before his death, and was surrounded by strange symbols, like the remnants of some mysterious ritual. When Lin Yu was investigating, he always felt like a pair of eyes were staring at him in the dark. Every time he got close to a key clue, he would receive an anonymous and terrifying text message warning him to stop investigating.
Immediately afterwards, a murder also occurred in the small town library. The deceased was found dead in a corner filled with banned books. An open ancient book next to him was filled with bloody prophecies, which were surprisingly consistent with the details of the case. In the process of pursuing the truth, Lin Yu discovered that these cases were related to a mysterious sacrifice in a small town many years ago, and there seemed to be a supernatural force controlling everything behind it.
As the investigation deepened, Lin Yu discovered that his childhood memories were closely connected with these cases. He was constantly involved in a dangerous whirlpool, and the fear brought about by those midnight bells followed him everywhere. Whether he can break through the fog in this crime full of horror and suspense, uncover the mastermind behind the scenes, and unlock the secrets that have been sealed for many years is still unknown.
