Abyss: Red Mist

Extra chapter of "Ten Days of Mysteries" - the same world, another nightmare! At the age of twenty-four, Liang Kang, a playboy, was expelled from his home. He is not his father's son, just evidence of an extramarital affair. His father gave him enough money, but gave him no reason to stay. He chose an unfamiliar city - Chiwu City, a tourist destination famous for its spiritual healing and shrouded in red mist all year round. There, Liang Kang met Chen Shen in the midst of self-destruction and drunkenness. Later Chen Shen committed suicide, the cause of death is unknown. When Liang Kang went to sort out his belongings, he met the writer Guo Yifan. Life seems to be getting back on track until a casual conversation - an old lady tells a horror story. From then on, every night late at night, Liang Kang would always hear a dull tapping sound coming from behind the wall. He saw a frightening old woman wandering in the shadows. Out of fear and confusion, he asked his new friend Chen Zi to help him play a divination game to find the cause. Amidst the lightning and thunder, Chen Zi was dragged into the thick red fog in front of him. It was another Akagiri City - the same streets, the same buildings, but full of wandering corpses. They do not rot, nor rest, but wait for the living to approach. Liang Kang shouldn't have gone back, but Chen Zi was still alive and still calling for help. Finally, he rescued Chen Zi through the thick fog and thought he had won. But what he brought back was far more than just one person. Chen Zi began to overeat, his skin clung to his bones, and his pupils turned red. The real world began to ooze the same red color - a party turned into a slaughterhouse, living corpses came from the dark, the door was locked, and dawn was delayed. Liang Kang finally understood: what he brought back from the abyss was not salvation, but fire. That fire burned away all escape routes. Now he only has one question left - is this Chiwu City the place where he escaped, or the abyss he has never left...
