Fang Que feels that he is a reasonable person. If the reason does not make sense, he will become like the other person and use the other person's reason to convince the other person.

When it touches steel, its skin hardens; when it swallows strange beasts, it grows sharp claws; when someone chops it with a knife, the tentacles that emerge from the wound swallow the knife instead.

This is a story about deceit, mimicry, and doing whatever it takes to survive in a chaotic world.
