Era of Dreams: Qingjiang Dream Archives
When psychology professor Su Mingcheng becomes the thirteenth mysterious suicide in Qingjiang City, criminal investigation team leader Qi Lin discovers a book called "The Interpretation of Dreams" with ancient totems drawn in blood at the crime scene. There was no stepping stone under the deceased's feet, but he was hung from a four-meter-high beam. Monitoring showed that no one entered or left the study room all night.
Su Ling, a graduate student who claimed the body, brought more shocking information: before his death, his father kept repeating "They are waiting for me in my dreams", and the symbols in the book are a lost hypnotic totem that can directly invade the subconscious. That night, Qi Lin encounters a supernatural phenomenon at the police station - all the photos of the deceased suddenly bleed, and Su Ling appears with a warning from his father's dream: "This is not suicide, it is a ritual."
The two men's investigation found that all the deceased had visited the "Obsidian" psychological clinic before their death. In front of the bronze mirror in the basement, Su Ling had a terrifying sense of déjà vu: "This mirror... My mother also saw it before she disappeared." As the investigation deepened, they came into contact with a secret society that spanned a century and a collective consciousness devouring phenomenon called "dream eclipse."
When Su Ling began to unconsciously draw the same strange totems as her mother, and when Qilin's childhood nightmare fatally overlapped with the case, they discovered:
- Su Ling is the thirteenth "Gatekeeper Candidate"
- Morris, the founder of the clinic, has an appearance that has not changed for a hundred years.
- That bronze key can open the portal between dreams and reality
And the darkest truth is hidden deep in Qilin's memory - the fire that burned the whole family thirty years ago was the last time...
