A worn silver ring and the indistinct words “I hope you return” were the unresolved obsession that haunted an archaeology professor to his dying day.
Thirty years earlier, his senior fellow student had entered a forbidden place known as the “Abyss of Mist” and vanished without a trace, leaving behind only this seemingly ordinary keepsake. The professor spent his entire life trying to uncover its secrets, but died with his questions unanswered.
His granddaughter Lin Yue had just graduated. While sorting through his belongings, she accidentally put on the ring. In an instant, visions surged through her mind: endless mist, a jungle, and a strange symbol formed from blue stellar tracks. The “Abyssal Eye” was branded deep in her mind, binding her to it with an unbreakable pull.
But signs that the ring had awakened also attracted watchful eyes in the shadows. An online warning, “I don't want to disappear like Chen Miao,” chilled her to the bone and made clear that her search would be fraught with danger.
Following the clues to a small border town, Lin Yue discovered that the “Abyss of Mist” was not merely a geographical forbidden zone. It was also a source of fear that the locals dared not speak of. The only clue pointed to an old hunter who lived deep in the mountains and had lost his sight. His hoarse question drew her into an even deeper mystery:
“Are you wearing ‘that thing’ to put an end to all this, or... to become the next sacrifice?”
Now it was her turn to take up the mantle.
Her grandfather's unfinished quest, the truth behind her senior's disappearance, and the ancient civilization and earth-shattering secrets connected to the “Abyssal Eye” symbol... all the answers lay beyond the thick fog that had devoured countless lives.
The gears of fate began to turn, and the abyss stared back.
