The Lake Ten Years Ago

On that summer night ten years ago, seven high school students were camping by Moon Lake and witnessed a car crash into the lake. They called the police, and the police searched for three days and three nights, but found nothing - no vehicle wreckage, no victims, not even fragments of the headlights. The case became unsolved. The seven people were questioned by public opinion as a "collective hallucination" and dispersed after psychological counseling. There was no intersection in their lives. Ten years later, the seventh witness, Shao Yang, drowned in the bathtub at home. The police determined it was an accident, but the protagonist Ma Hongyu discovered that Shaoyang had sent everyone an old newspaper before his death. On the report ten years ago, he circled the words "seven witnesses" in red pen. In the funeral home, the then photographer Suo Jiawei said something that sent chills down the spine: "When I took pictures that night, I counted heads in the lens. There were eight people beside the bonfire." Ma Hongyu began to investigate secretly. Anonymous text messages, old friends who attempted suicide, and conflicting memories - he found himself trapped in a lie that had been woven for ten years. What's even more frightening is that when he tried to recall the details of that night, he discovered- My own memory also began to become distorted. --- Who is the eighth person? Why was he forgotten by everyone? Is he back now?
