Whispers of Cthulhu

Xu Nian, an ordinary private detective, was dragged into an inhuman space on an ordinary night because of a pendant left by his parents. From then on, the mirror reflections, water reflections, and shadow corners in the eyes of others all contained twisted and wriggling things in his eyes. Those are all gaps leading to the abyss. The pendant left by my parents connects an invisible crack of death. Silent contamination seeped into his body day after day - a blessing and a curse. He can capture the afterimages of emotions and dig out the buried truth from micro-expressions, and his parents have been missing for many years and their whereabouts are unknown. In order to find out the truth, in order to protect his remaining family, and in order to have enough power to explore the truth, he chose to endure the rising mental pollution - even though he knew that if he was not careful, he would be completely alienated and become a monster controlled by the Lord of Silence. Supernatural cases occur frequently in the city. The missing become squirming lumps of flesh, or unconscious husks. The cult "Church of Silent Words" is secretly offering sacrifices everywhere in an attempt to loosen the ancient seal. Agents from the official organization "Shelter Bureau" are following in the dark, while the private organization "Raven Society" throws out high-priced gray money to reward the secrets deep in the mezzanine of the dream. And the black stone slab engraved with ancient secret texts repeatedly conveyed the same sentence to him: "The seventh one... You are finally here." Relying on the power of awakening, accepting strange commissions, dismantling curses in exchange for scarce gray money - Xu Nian maintained the daily life of ordinary people in the outside world, while exploring the truth about the disappearance of his parents deep in the mezzanine. But he gradually discovered that his awakening was not accidental. That mark, that pendant, that voice - pointed to a truth he didn't want to face.
