Going Crazy Cured My Mental Insufficiency

In 2026, a supernatural being called the "Emotional Thief" was born from a hot Internet meme. They feed on human anxiety, anger, and fear, and those who are sucked dry will become "hollows" without emotions - alive, but empty inside. 25-Year-old Chen Mo, a low-level social worker who was laid off for two months, was awakened by a video that said, "It is better to go crazy and consume others externally than to consume yourself internally" on the most depressing night on the Internet. He became an obsession with "crazy literature". When other obsessed people were avoiding thieves, Chen Mo was chasing them. He laughs crazier than the thief when he tries to amplify his anxiety. An invisible layer of gray fog hangs over the city, a cocoon woven by the collective anxiety of 30 million people, and within the cocoon is a beating heart. It's almost waking up. After 368 days, the King of Emotions arrived. On the screen of Chen Mo's mobile phone, the countdown has begun.
