A game called "Echo of the Abyss" has quietly arrived, turning the fearful legends in reality into copies of life-devouring tricks.
Lin Che, a talented e-sports youngster who retired due to a hand injury, regarded him as the most difficult strategy target. He firmly believes that any terror follows logic and that every rule has loopholes. Su Wan, an archeology student who can see the afterimages of emotions, is a rare "abnormality" in the game - wherever she goes, the resentful spirits calm down and the rules ring softly.
When the ghost who never leaves the evening study hall involves them, rationality and spirituality collide for the first time. He breaks the rules of death, and she listens to the echoes of mourning. They discovered that passing the level requires not only wisdom, but also facing the deepest scars of human nature.
However, as the copy is upgraded, the truth emerges: the game feeds on intense human emotions. What they face is not only ghosts, but also the suffering itself that is trapped in the system and reincarnated.
Destroy this abyss that swallows pain, or control it and become a new god? At the end of this road paved with deceit and echoing with countless screams and whispers, Lin Che and Su Wan must make the final choice.
