A funeral home makeup artist who's afraid of ghosts, yet the strongest ghost hunter.
Xiang Tiange pretended to be blind for twenty years, all to avoid facing one fact: he could see ghosts.
On the seventh night after his twelve-year-old playmate drowned, the dead boy came knocking. Xiang saw him through the peephole but pretended not to. The next day, only a puddle of water remained at the door.
From then on, he wore sunglasses and did makeup for the dead at a funeral home, thinking he could hide from ghosts for the rest of his life.
Until he was dragged into the Nether Rift, a deadly in-between realm made up of countless terrifying instances. Rules-based horror, vengeful ghosts, betrayal by teammates: any one of them could kill him.
Worse, he discovered that the six teammates he had brought into the instance were all sacrifices he had personally offered up in his previous life. And the ghost in his left eye was waking up a little more each day.
System prompt: Want to make it out alive? Lie down in that red coffin.
Xiang Tiange looked at his own face in the coffin and asked the question no one else dared to ask:
"If I'm the one who lies down in there, will the thing that crawls out still be human?"
How can someone who's afraid of ghosts hunt them?
Because the things we fear most are often the things we most want to see clearly.
Like an adaptation of a true story [shocked]
