Slay the Gods: Bai Wuchang of the Ghostly Eye, from Classmate to Night Watcher

Beneath Bai Risheng's sunny persona lie eight hundred hidden schemes. When a sinister drop of blood falls from the classroom clock, the calm facade of Cangnan Middle School is torn apart.

This isn't a sanatorium, but an outpost where the Night's Watch observes anomalies. Bai Risheng keenly senses spatial rifts, eerie prophecies, and the strange transformation quietly taking place in his right arm as it turns to ice.

Here, the blood-dripping clock face reappears, resonating lethally with his frozen right arm. The prophet's whispered inversions, Nyx's seductive guidance, the Night's Watch Research Department's covetous interest, and the old-fashioned wall clock in the room that constantly oozes filthy blood... Bai Risheng realizes that he is not merely a prisoner, but a specimen under countless watchful eyes…
