Human obsession has warped the world, bringing forth the uncanny.
Preface
At first, people thought it was just an ordinary fog.
But when the mist swallowed the entire city, and strange chewing sounds and a bizarre stench began to drift from its depths, they realized something was wrong.
By then, it was too late. The uncanny had arrived.
The fog affected the border collie raised by Shi Qingye, turning it into a monstrous, man-eating dog. To save herself, she killed it through her tears.
Looking at the pile of imported dog food she'd just bought, she felt like crying.
Come on, man, dog food is expensive!
After nightfall, the neighbor next door brought over bone broth that gave off an oddly meaty aroma. She was starving, and her mouth was watering like a waterfall.
But the bloody strands of meat between the neighbor's teeth really scared her.
Granny, can raw meat really smell that good?!
And anyway, it's the middle of the night. Why is so much long black hair spilling out of someone's bathroom sink?!
Did working and studying overtime make you go bald? Can't a person get some sleep?
Superstition is being lost in one's own thoughts.
Humanity's power of thought gave rise to terrifying uncanny beings, and in the end, faith brought one into being: Shi Qingye.
The fog rises, eternal night falls
