"There is an hourglass above my head counting down my death."
Lin Huaijin crawled out of the cold water of the West Lake, her memory cleared, leaving only a suspended [730] countdown following her.
He was admitted to the Seventh Hospital because of cognitive problems.
A nighttime adventure dragged him into the abyss beneath the hospital - a bloody laboratory built by the ancient organization "Ember".
Here, living people are used as firewood, fed with terrifying roots from the mythical age, just to ignite the fire of twisted evolution.
And Lin Huaijin's taboo power to control time seems to be the dark legacy of this experiment...
The lost ones swimming upstream.
When the hourglass runs out, is he the key to opening the curtain of the world, or is he a residue completely burned by the embers?
