Weird Tales: the Secret of the Fog Zone

"All forgotten rules, waiting for a trigger." Linzhou's foggy area is hidden in the folds of the city: lights are on in disappearing buildings, late-night buses carry non-existent passengers, and water from the 18th floor of the elevator will swallow the drinker. In these corners, ghost stories are "habits of space". Those who violate the rules will be erased from reality, leaving only the afterimage of madness or disappearance. Chen Yan could see the outline of the foggy area, at the cost of a tearing headache. After Shen Yuetan drowned twelve years ago, he became a "living body detector" - the drowned neighbors in the windows of the demolition area, the reflections in the mirror gallery that rushed to open the door in front of him, and the passengers with their backs to the train at Hewan Station all appeared in his lens. Anonymous clues on forums, half an old name badge with fingerprints, and dusty files from the Bureau of Surveying and Mapping point to a cruel truth: the foggy area is the lingering resentment of death, and the disappearing institution has been "feeding" them to maintain balance. When the figure wearing leather gloves appears repeatedly, and when the trusted informant reveals the bureau emblem, Chen Yan understands: his "talent" is a mark, and the truth he is pursuing is a destiny that has already been written. There may be a rule waiting to be triggered around the next corner. You may be standing on the edge of the fog zone.
