One week before the supernatural invasion.
Awakened humans looked up at the sky and saw layers of phantoms above the firmament: sacred stone forests hanging upside down, a suffering goddess falling from heaven, ice burning together with a sea of flames.
The Awakened were terrified and uneasy, while the ignorant went on with their mundane lives.
Jiang Shisheng, the only one who could save all living beings from this upside-down world, leaned casually against a wall and lit a cigarette.
In the curling smoke, the young man's features were as beautiful as a painting.
Shen Ci, an ordinary human who knew nothing, had his eyes reddened by the smoke. “You've been standing here for half the day. What, has the big streamer fallen so low he's got nowhere to go?”
“I have nowhere to go.”
In the dim light, Jiang Shisheng was like a siren luring people to their doom, his weary voice seeming to cross a thousand years.
Even though the two had bitterly fallen out six months ago, the one who had always been cherished still took advantage of that love as usual. “So, can you take me in?”
After the supernatural resurgence, everyone in the world knew that Shen Ci, who had awakened the strongest spiritual senses, was humanity's greatest hope. Yet this beacon of hope chose Jiang Shisheng, a pretty boy who had nothing going for him but his looks.
In the dangerous forest realm, ghosts roamed through the night.
“These ghosts are so ugly. I don't like you looking at them.” Jiang Shisheng was perfectly unapologetic as he covered Shen Ci's eyes.
“Okay.” Shen Ci's ears turned red, and he covered his own eyes.
In the inverted maze, phantoms appeared again and again.
“A Ci is my best friend, so you'll definitely protect me, right?” Jiang Shisheng innocently displayed their severed binding thread.
“Okay.” Shen Ci's gaze was resolute as he walked toward the center of the maze, surrounded by layers of ghostly shadows.
The people being carried by the team: ...
Everyone kept their complaints to themselves, just waiting for Shen Ci to get tired of his useless, pretty-boy teammate.
That was until the mutated goddess cut Shen Ci's skin, and his blood splashed across Jiang Shisheng's face.
The next second, Jiang Shisheng tore the terrifying supernatural creature that made all living things tremble to pieces.
Jiang Shisheng looked even worse than the injured Shen Ci. The shadow behind him stretched like an abyss, swallowing the light inch by inch.
The handsome beacon of hope for humanity was completely unafraid. In a weak voice, he soothed him: “I'm fine.”
The sky brightened again.
Only then did everyone understand: every day, they had been walking the line between safety and enraging a powerful being.
They'd been unharmed only because Shen Ci had offered himself to the demon.
