    Synopsis: In 2012, Lin Shen, bearing a dark red birthmark on his left cheek, witnessed his mother being "accidentally" killed by bullies while protecting him. Ten years later, he ingests a mysterious potion and falls into the "Abyss System," where he is trapped in a cycle of revenge within a purgatory of memories: poisoning the red wine at a class reunion, data ghosts tampering with financial statements, a rusty classroom countdown... When bullies become NPCs in the game, when policewoman Su Man's violet brooch flashes with time-space codes, when the birthmark transforms into a system mark that devours humanity, he finally discovers: all bullies are turned into NPCs to suffer in a cycle, and the system is actually an energy farm where "Observers," from a higher-dimensional civilization, harvest human violent emotions. As his revenge progresses, he gradually uncovers a more cruel truth—he himself is the dark side of the Observer's original self, and all the cycles are rituals of self-judgment. Ultimately, he unites with global avengers to destroy the Black Tower, using the birthmark to reverse the violent energy into healing power, restarting human civilization. Suspenseful Infinite Flow
