The "Great Collapse" tore reality apart, and a spiritual pollution called "babble" enveloped the wasteland. Most of the people who heard the whispers went crazy, and a few gained supernatural powers.
What Gu Shen gained was the ability to read minds - he could hear the true thoughts of all beings. But this ability cannot be turned off. The malice in other people's hearts, the screams of aberrations, and the spiritual fragments of the wasteland are all eroding his sanity all the time.
The Reconstruction Society wants to make him a humanoid lie detector, and the Flesh Cult wants to dig out his brain to sacrifice to the "God of the Abyss." And Gu Shen, who was being hunted by everyone, only wanted to know one thing:
What did that whisper say during the collapse?
