I saw him holding his right hand up to his mouth, gnawing on his own index finger. He wasn't just biting it gently; he was tearing at it frantically, without holding back. The knuckle was already mangled, revealing stark white bone, and blood ran down his wrist to pool in a small puddle before him. His eyes were unfocused, his pupils dilated, and he kept muttering incoherently:
“Combing her hair... She's combing it downstairs...”
“Long hair... Black...”
“She wants me to keep her company... forever...”
This is the story of an ordinary man forced to grow up, struggling through mystery and despair and risking everything for love and hope. From a goofy, joke-cracking security guard in his everyday life to a torchbearer shouldering the mission of saving the world, Chen Hao loses everything, yet draws on the most unyielding will of an ordinary person to embark on a thorny road to reverse the end of the world and transcend life and death.
: "The author constructs a kind of 'viscous' horror. It's not like a jump scare, but like a moist mist seeping into every gap in the text. I didn't feel scared when I read it. After closing the book, the images in the book (such as the mirror that always reflects different reflections) began to flicker at the edge of daily life, making me hesitate for a moment about the familiar environment." · Available words: viscosity, permeability, shadowy beauty, cracks in reality, sensory confusion, roar in silence.
