Lu Chen, the former deputy captain of criminal investigation, was involved in the "sequence world" hidden under reality in order to trace the mysterious disappearance of his brother Lu Shen three years ago. This hyperdimensional space composed of countless terrifying copies is the "immune system" of the real world - screening and evolving human consciousness through cruel trials. The selected human beings become the "Orders" and must constantly clear the dungeons to survive, otherwise they will fade into ashes and perish.
Lu Chen relied on his extraordinary reasoning ability and cold-blooded decision-making to survive step by step in 16 horror dungeons with different styles, such as the strange stories about the rules of the Last Train, the folk customs in Mirror Town, and the vision of Cthulhu in the Deep Sea Altar, climbing all the way from the first sequence of "awakening" to the unknown ninth sequence. Fu Jiuan, a retired special forces soldier, protects his teammates with an iron wall, and Song Wan, a former emergency doctor, uses his medical knowledge to break dead ends repeatedly - the three-person iron triangle has forged trust in life and death.
In the Gray Port, the two major forces of the Order and the Abyss Gate are surging undercurrents. Bai Ye, the leader of the Abyss Sect, hides extreme ambition under his gentle appearance, and the secret connection between him and Lu Shen's disappearance unravels the biggest suspense in the book. The Nine Sequences are not only levels of power, but also a leap in cognitive depth - when Lu Chen approached the ultimate truth, he found that everyone who had reached the Ninth Sequence had disappeared, and the answer that changed everything was hidden in the black notebook left by his brother.
An infinite flow novel that combines rule-based ghost stories, Chinese folklore, Cthulhu cosmic horror and psychological thriller. It uses a kaleidoscopic copy to describe people's choices and growth in extreme fear.
