Third-rate photographer Chen Mo never thought that the bronze camera he picked up would completely tear his life apart - the first time he took a photo of a convenience store, the developed photo showed the freezer covered with transparent tentacles; the second time he took a photo of his girlfriend, the outline of an ancient deep-sea city was superimposed in her pupils. When black mucus began to ooze from his right ear, a man in a black suit came to the door: "What you took is not a photo, it is the development of 'entropic corrosion cracks'."
There are more and more anomalies in Binhai City: the subway station announcement suddenly turns into the whisper of an ancient god, and the reflection in the mirror slowly turns its head, and all of this is related to the deep-sea exploration team that disappeared twenty years ago. Chen Mo dug out the logbook left by his father. The yellowed page contained the record "Zheng He's treasure ship brought back the 'Star Stone'", which actually corresponded exactly to the cuneiform text on the bottom of the camera.
He was forced to become an "observer", and every time he took an abnormal photo, his memory would be tampered with - the neighbor who was alive yesterday became a phantom that "never existed" today; the newly confirmed truth was overturned by the new photos developed by the camera. It wasn't until he took a photo of the water tank in an abandoned aquarium, and he appeared in the photo with tentacles wrapped around his wrists, that he was shocked to realize that the abyss had been staring at him, the "container", through the lens.
When the organization of the man in the suit revealed its true face - they wanted to use the camera to open the door to the deep sea and awaken the "Lord of Entropic Erosion", Chen Mo raised his camera and pointed it at the reflection in the water tank. The moment he pressed the shutter, he heard a whisper that spanned thousands of years: "Human observation is a sacrifice to the abyss..."
