The Secret Affairs of the Old House: Four Volumes

Secrets of the Ancient House: Unveiling the Forbidden Veil of a Causal Universe

Do you believe the world resets every 49 hours, and that all supernatural phenomena are hidden within the logic of a time loop? In the eerie world of Secrets of the Ancient House, it all happens for real.

The story begins on March 8, 2025, at 13:27 in the New Calendar. A female forensic pathologist discovers that she can read the “echoes of death” when she performs autopsies, but the price is randomly forgetting her own memories. An antique shop owner possesses the remarkable ability to “weave threads of causality,” yet he is hunted by versions of himself from multiple timelines, driving him to the brink of a mental breakdown.

A streamer who livestreamed her suicide mysteriously comes back to life, only for an autopsy to reveal that her body had been dead for 72 hours. Thirty people witness a killer step out of a mirror, yet no trace of the person’s DNA exists in reality. Murders occur in the same place on the same day every year, and each victim is the same person... One “impossible crime” after another unfolds.

As the investigation deepens, the “god-slaying game,” in which the nine great families of the mystic world wager a thousand years of their lives, comes to light. The protagonists are trapped in nested time loops, while the real world is nothing more than a “causality containment facility” on the seventh layer of a shadow dimension. Criminal investigation intertwines with the occult, and every clue points toward an unknown terror. Are you ready to step into this mist-shrouded adventure?
