Illusory Visions of the Mortal World: The Maze City

In a modern metropolis of ten million people, several very different lives unfold in separate corners of the city. Gu Chuanyi is obsessed with investigating mysterious happenings, Lin Sui'an struggles to mend damaged minds, Qiao Ziye captures strange sights and phenomena through his camera, Wen Nuan fights to escape a mediocre life, and Zhang Cheng plots one bizarre urban-brainstorming incident after another. As inexplicable events begin breaking out across the city, their storylines gradually intertwine, drawing them deeper into the city's shadowy underworld. Each person searches for answers about life in the gap between wild imaginings and reality, while the city's outward facade slowly crumbles, revealing the many lives and delusions of an era in transition. Each volume follows its own main storyline while also touching on the other characters. The ten volumes stand alone yet connect closely, ultimately converging in a climactic event.
