The Asylum

There's a persistent urban legend in Zhuo City. They say there's a huge psychiatric hospital hidden in the city's shadows, called the Hexagon Asylum. The patients there are gods who have fallen and become demons. - After a live broadcast of an explosion, Chen Yiqi, the sole survivor, attracted widespread attention. Countless investigators used him as a lead in their attempts to find the mastermind behind the explosion, but in the end, they decided to send Chen Yiqi to the [Asylum]. Chen Yiqi: ???

At the same time, just after school, Ruan Ting found a crack in the ground that seemed to have no end. Ruan Ting stepped onto the crack and followed it all the way down, eventually arriving at a riverbank. Strange ripples moved across the water, as if a giant beast were thrashing beneath the surface. Ruan Ting stared at them for a while, then walked into the river. The water submerged him completely. When his hand instinctively reached out to grab something, Ruan Ting realized he couldn't move. In the dimness below, deep green lights flickered without end. * A hundred years later, beneath the abyss where two worlds meet, countless monsters gathered beside the River of Time-Lag, where kings are born.
