Former detective Lin Shen has a secret: he can see things that others cannot.
After leaving his job, he made a living by writing urban ghost stories, but he was accidentally involved in a series of bizarre death cases. The three deceased people had frightened expressions and all their hair turned white and fell off. They all went to the same barber shop before their death. During the investigation, Lin Shen discovered a truth that subverted cognition: human fear will condense into a "fear entity" that feeds on fear. The more fearful it becomes, the stronger it becomes. And the reason why he can see them is because the most powerful existence in history is sealed in his body - primitive fear.
What's even more frightening is that his memories before the age of sixteen were artificially erased. His grandmother's portrait will smile at him. His father, who has been missing for many years, is actually the leader of the mysterious organization "New World Society". The organization seeks to unleash primal fears and create a "fearless" utopia.
Each volume has an independent rule: the barber's paradox, the elevator game, don't look back, the silent majority... Lin Shen must find loopholes in the rules and stay awake in fear. And when the seven seals were opened one by one, he found that he had to face more than just monsters——
It's the thing that's awakening in his body.
When fear becomes a reality, the only person who is not afraid is the biggest hidden danger.
