Synopsis
One rainy night, Cuixiang pushed open the door of the mysterious manor. From then on, he was trapped in the ruins of rationality. Every time he prepared to escape, he would be restored or disrupted soon. If time and space are built on a suspended fulcrum, is it necessary to retain rational thinking and past experiences? The male master of the manor never said a word, his actions were more punctual than the restless heartbeat, and silence seemed to be eternal in him. The madness of the mistress of the manor often hits the wall. She curses, whines, hurts herself, and even cheats. She is not satisfied, she is never satisfied. The maid is conscientious and courteous day after day, but she will not pay attention to the mistress who needs to pay attention to her. She will ask the male master who does not need to pay attention to everything, even if there is no response. The children in the manor could only be heard from the maid and the hostess. They had never been seen in the manor until Cuixiang discovered the two childish plaster statues... Cuixiang found that he could never leave the confines of the manor. He was worried and full of doubts. Finally, he used the knowledge he had learned to contact "Martin", the son of a famous mathematician who had been missing for four years on the other side of the manor. However, the manor seemed to be a living creature running erratically, distorting time and space. After that, Cuixiang could no longer find hope of leaving the manor by relying on common sense. Rational thinking and past experience are all based on the fulcrum of suspension. Cuixiang finally picked up the mysterious books on the irrational path and began to study them in the manor library, but she also gradually began to experience alienation. They were contradictory to each other and should not have been in the same room. It was the manor that connected them. After an unknown number of days and nights, Cuixiang looked at the glass on the dome of the manor and recalled her childhood memories. Concept: On a rainy night, Cui Xiang, a college student suffering from schizophrenia, accidentally enters Malrose Manor, a mysterious cage where time and space are distorted and rationality fails. The master who is as silent as a sculpture, the mistress who is crazy and self-destructive, the mechanically respectful maid, and the child who only exists in words... Everything in the manor challenges his perception of "normal". When the wires lead to nothingness and 911 becomes an empty call, Cuixiang discovers that all past experience and rationality are based on suspended fulcrums. In order to escape, he had to turn to an irrational path - studying the mysterious books in the manor library, but as a result, he began to undergo irreversible alienation. This is a story about "cognition": when the world itself is incomprehensible, is "knowing" also a kind of imprisonment?
