Some corners of this world hide secrets that ordinary people will never know.
An apartment building disappeared on the 13th floor, a midnight bus that never reached its destination, a parking lot with no exit, an abandoned research station seven thousand meters under the sea... They are not ghost stories, they have rules.
Lin Ye is a field staff member of the Special Intelligence Bureau's Anomaly Investigation Team. He has an extremely dangerous ability that belongs only to him - the moment he comes into contact with abnormalities, he can read weird logic that normal humans can never understand.
But rules come at a price.
Every time he deciphered it, one more line of the abyss' code was engraved into his brain. His eyes began to glow, his emotions began to dull, and little by little, he was becoming the thing he was fighting against.
And behind all this, a mysterious "Eighth Operator" is using the entire city as a chessboard, step by step, to build an engine that can rewrite the rules of physics.
When that thing is built, the world will no longer be a world.
He must decipher the monster before he completely turns into a monster.
