Embers of Sanity

In 2026, the logic of reality completely collapses. Thick black rain falls all year round in Gray Fog City, and the world is like a negative film corroded by strong acid, revealing the flesh and blood background called the "Forbidden Zone". Here, gods are parasitic tumors and rules are life-killing guillotines. "Don't look directly at the doctor." "When the clock goes back, kill your shadow." "When you hear a baby crying, please recite geometric formulas silently." In the face of these absurd and deadly rules, mankind's only weapon is not thermal weapons, but reason. Shen Qiu, a monitor who was born with "apathy". For him, fear is just a superfluous chemical reaction, and madness is an equation to be unraveled. When his companions' bodies collapsed and turned into pus and blood in the indescribable fear, Shen Qiu was holding the cold black coffee and calmly peeling open the ghost's chest, looking for loopholes in the logic. The hands of the brass pocket watch in his hand were beating not the time, but his remaining San value. As the dark red tentacle in his left eye completely awakened, Shen Qiu was shocked to realize that he was no longer an observer. Every time he deconstructed the rules, he gradually became the most terrifying existence in the abyss. "If reason is destined to burn out, then I will re-enact truth in madness."
