A prank between friends leads to the untimely death of Lin Xi’er, the “campus belle” of Northern College. Then a series of inexplicable “supernatural events” begins on campus: a “woman combing her hair” in the girls’ dorm at midnight, piano music in Practice Room 307, and a male student suddenly dropping dead on the school field...
The police can’t ignore it. Ye Wen, head of the task force investigating the Northern College case, recruits Wu Lijue, head of student affairs; Jin Xijian, student council president; and Jiang Yimin, a neurologist, to help with the investigation. But the case repeatedly reaches bizarre dead ends and impasses, even as more inexplicable events occur...
Through Jiang Yimin, they learn about a neurological research institute and hear of an unbelievable theory called “Third Consciousness.” They hope to use it to uncover the truth, but Death is quietly reaching out for them...
The mysterious “Third Consciousness” has ensnared them in a terrifying web. Can they escape?
