Qi Yue was fired. It's not because of lack of ability, but because the empathy is too strong - so strong that the mental network determines that she is a "disease". The day she walked out of the company, she saw an old man at the subway station. He stood in the dark red fog and waited for three years for someone who would never come. Invisible to everyone but her. The note her mother left for her read: Don't go to the old town. But she went anyway. She walked into the gray realm, into the depths of deleted emotions, saw the Kitchen God, the Paper Man, and the Door God resurrected in another way, and also saw that her mother's death was not an accident. This is the story of an "empathizer". Technology is still running, and folk customs are never far away.
