Entrusted by the Cultural Relics Bureau, Shen Hengqiu went to Zhelong Village to restore a batch of sacrificial bronzes unearthed on Frost's Day. On the night she entered the village, she saw Uncle Tieniu being hung from the beam of the ancestral hall, and the secret room was unlocked on all sides. At 5:29 a. M., She fell into a dry well. At 5:30, she stood at the entrance of the village again, and the time on her phone jumped back to the same day. In the third round of the cycle, Wu Hengtang died in his medicine cabinet, with silver needles all over his body and gluttonous patterns carved on the inside of the cabinet door. In the seventh round, Granny Jiang was built into the wall of the earth building, with broken Nuo noodles embedded in the wall. Every death is like a carefully designed restoration of cultural relics - physical laws cannot be explained, only folk symbols form a closed loop. Shen Hengqiu discovered that by touching the relics, he could read the touch, hearing and fear of the deceased before death. She pieced together the truth about the Hidden Dragon God from the fragments: this ancient god who lived by faith was feeding on the fear of the villagers through cycles. The "Fragments of Faith" obtained by cracking the secret chamber are the only weapons that can kill gods. But every companion who detects the truth of the cycle will have their memory erased during reset. On the ninety-ninth frost day, Wu Hengtang said the same words to her before he died: "The bronze fragment in your hand was sent back by yourself from the future."
