Volume 1: The Mystery of Mirror Lake
"When you see into the world's truth, the world begins to stare into your abyss."
Lu Jian, a former special soldier, possesses a pair of "analytic eyes" that can analyze the weaknesses of all things. After retiring, he became a private investigator wandering in gray areas. One rainy night, archaeologist Su Banxia came to the door with the mystery of her missing mentor. The shadow of the bronze door flashed in her eyes, dragging Lu Jian into a thousand-year mystery called "Mirror Lake".
Deep in the abandoned mental hospital, there lurk "eroders" whose spirits have been completely swallowed up; in the masquerade of the upper class, the "Phantom Eye" Yehuang, who can control light, shadow and people's hearts, quietly approaches. She is a dangerous collaborator and a fatal temptation.
Here, three major forces are surging undercurrents:
· The Night's Watch: An ancient guardian divided within itself
· Abyss: Fanatic believers who worship the power behind the door
· Scavenger: The official cleaner with iron-blooded methods
Lu Jian soon discovered that what was buried under the mirror lake was not a secret, but a living and hungry alien world. The truth about the tragic death of his comrades ten years ago is actually closely connected with the taboo power here.
The real fear is:
Every door that is forced open requires a sacrifice;
Every desire that is fulfilled has a price tag;
When you think you are exploring the truth, maybe you have already become the prey of the truth.
