Three years after the paranormal descended, terrifying instances are livestreamed around the world. Death is watched, and fear is consumed.
Shen Yan is the kind of person most likely to survive, and also the kind least likely to be chosen.
He isn't afraid of ghosts, doesn't trust people, and doesn't rely on rules. Before anyone else even realizes there's danger, he has already taken human nature and the rules apart and examined them down to the last detail.
He has passed through White Tower Hospital, the Scarlet Wedding Banquet, the Deep Blue Subway, and the Seventh Psychiatric Hospital. Each place left behind a shadow of "Shen Yan."
His own self in the morgue, at the wedding, in the driver's cab. They all slowly turn their heads in the same direction.
So he begins to believe he wasn't chosen by chance.
"Do you believe you are yourself?"
"I don't," he answers. "But I'll be the one laughing last."
