City S had become a paradise for the supernatural six months ago.
Recently, however, people with special abilities spotted a woman still alive in the city. She drank tea and ate desserts with a Class B entity, helped a Class E entity cross the street, and chatted cheerfully with a Class A entity.
Most horrifying of all, the bloodthirsty and murderous Lord of the Supernatural Entities doted on her, staying by her side with boundless affection.
"She'll be humanity's greatest breakthrough in its fight against the supernatural."
"Do everything you can to wake her up and bring her out of the fallen zone."

"Yaoyao, that Mr. Qi who lives upstairs from you is pursuing you, isn't he?"
Gu Yao, who had been single her whole life, was a little stunned.
"Look, he brings you an umbrella when it rains, breakfast at eight, and fixes your bathroom when the water gets cut off. He's definitely pursuing you."
As she spoke, her best friend started listing Gu Yao's good points: "You're fair and beautiful, with a slim waist, a generous bust, and great legs. It'd be weird if nobody pursued you."
"We're just neighbors."
"Neighbors becoming lovers? How sweet!"
"All right, I'm done arguing with you. Have you noticed the recent news? Be careful when you go out."
Gu Yao listened to the choppy voice on the other end of the call, then heard her friend hurriedly hang up.
The TV screen was lit. The middle-aged-looking female reporter paused almost identically between every word.
--Latest report: New flowers have recently appeared in several residential communities around the city, attracting large numbers of mosquitoes and bees. Residents are advised to keep a safe distance from flower beds.
--Rainfall has surged in recent days. Residents are advised to return indoors before it rains. If you can't get back in time, open an umbrella immediately.
--As of today, fifteen people with mental illnesses have appeared in this city. If you encounter anyone behaving erratically, find a nearby building and take shelter at once.
After that day, Gu Yao noticed that fewer and fewer people were around the residential complex, while more and more residents in the homeowners' group said they were sick.
Meanwhile, she and Mr. Qi gradually grew closer.
Until one day, a kettle bit her…
She saw what looked like countless tentacles beneath Mr. Qi, writhing as if eager to spring into action.
