    The fifth book. I stand in the abyss, and no one can save me. —Shen Nian. The hospital had long queues for registration. Although it was a weekday, the hospital was bustling with patients needing to register and see a doctor, making the environment somewhat noisy. In a corner, a figure blended seamlessly into the diverse crowd. Her professional office lady suit accentuated her figure, exuding a composed and capable air. She sat on a bench in the hospital corridor, slightly hunched over, her hands casually resting on her lap, her fingers lightly tapping the fabric of her skirt at the knees. Head bowed, she remained silent. Her quietness seemed out of place in the noisy hospital. "Patient number 23, Shen Nian, please proceed to consultation room 5." Hearing the mechanical voice from the computer, Shen Nian finally looked up, picked up her bag, and entered consultation room 5.
