Liminal Intrusion

Lin Ye could always see things that others couldn't see - the squirming figures in the shadows, the twisted faces flashing across the mirror. The doctor diagnosed it as schizophrenia until his patients started dying in impossible ways. The first victim was a girl who always said "there is something under the bed." Her body was found in a locked ward. Every inch of her skin was covered with scratches, as if she had been scratched to death by herself. The police determined it was suicide, but Lin Ye saw the black shadow spreading out from under the bed in the surveillance video. When the second patient who claimed to be "followed by a shadow" exploded from within, Lin Ye understood: these were not hallucinations, but nightmares taking shape. Every mentally ill patient he ever cared for was an incubator for some kind of supernatural being. And now, these beings are acquiring entities through their fears, invading the real world step by step. The most terrifying thing is that Lin Ye discovered that his best friend Su Xia began to suffer from the same symptoms - she always said that she heard non-existent voices and saw non-existent words. Lin Ye knew what this meant: Su Xia was becoming the next "carrier". In order to save her, he must go deep into the "liminal space" that ordinary people cannot perceive and kill the nightmare before it fully materializes. But when he steps into that gray area, a more terrifying truth awaits him: perhaps from the beginning, he was not an observer, but a selected "channel"...
