The Ferocious Temple

"The Temple" is an urban mystery epic about fear, awe and connection. It reveals a "monstrous system" hidden under the surface of modern civilization: those ancient symbols, strange buildings or inhuman beings that are regarded as terrifying and taboo are not pure evil, but "boundary monuments" that guard important energy nodes and transform collective negative emotions. When they are brought to the brink of collapse by modern pollution, heightened collective fear, or aging systems, the world will face a "fear backlash." The protagonist Lin An, a noise therapist with the ability of "non-verbal perception" due to childhood trauma, forms an alliance with Shi Shoujie, a descendant of the guardian of the boundary monument who bears the shame of his family, and "Mu Cun", an ancient gluttonous tattooed spirit who suffers from "indigestion". They must learn not to flee from fear, but to listen to the "legal calculation" behind it and understand the source of their pain. From decoding the "calculation labor" of revitalizing a mural, to repairing a Taotie pattern system that is on the verge of going berserk due to absorbing too much modern anxieties, to compiling a skyscraper that has accumulated collective fear in the city due to its ferocious shape, into an artistic landmark of public awe— - "The Ferocious Temple" is not about defeating terror, but learning to sign a recursive agreement with fear, translating ferocity into solemnity, transforming escape into awe, and finally establishing a "temple" connected to the deep order of all things in the 8% crack of the soul.
