It rains a lot in Yunqi City, especially after nightfall.
Shen Mian has a secret - she can dream about the moment of death of the deceased. This ability began on the night when her adoptive mother died tragically three years ago. Since then, she has never been able to sleep a full night's sleep. As a forensic doctor, she used this ability to solve countless unsolved cases, but she was also devoured by the pain of the deceased time and time again. Her only sense of security was the copper bell left by her adoptive mother around her neck. When the bell rang, the nightmare temporarily receded.
Gu Huaijing also has a secret - in the disappearance case five years ago, it was his biological sister who disappeared, and her whereabouts are still unknown. He hated Shen Mian's "inaction" back then, and even more hated his own incompetence. He thought he would never have contact with this cold female forensic doctor for the rest of his life, until that rainy night, an unknown female body in a red dress appeared in the abandoned City God's Temple.
The deceased had his hands clasped together in a kneeling posture, with a smile on his lips. The cause of death is a mystery. What's even weirder is that there is a copper bell hanging around her neck that is exactly the same as Shen Mian's.
The runes on the inner wall of the bell point to a long-forgotten ancient town, a thirty-year cycle of sacrifices, and a dusty past. The last scene Shen Mian "saw" from the deceased was Gu Huaijing's face.
When an unsolved case involves their old wounds, and when the deceased uses death to send them a certain signal, the enemies have to join forces and walk into the depths of the fog. There were faint sounds of crying in the night wind of the ancient town, and when the bell rang, someone was about to die.
They said it was God choosing the sacrifices.
They say that anyone who hears cries in the night will not live more than seven days.
Shen Mian doesn't believe in God, she only believes in the truth she sees. And Gu Huaijing just wanted to ask: Is my sister dead or alive?
