Turbid Water Dream

On the day when the turbid water surged, the secret that had been dormant for fifty years finally surfaced. Half a century ago, geneticist Lin Shen used himself as a vessel to inject a crazy potion that could rewrite the species. The crisp sound of broken bones, the silver scales growing under his skin, and the severe pain of melting limbs transformed him from a scholar standing in front of the academic stage to a half-human, half-fish monster hiding deep in the underground river. He spent a period of dormancy that never saw the light of day, gambling on an unfinished evolution, and buried his name in the mud of the deep pool. Half a century later, heavy rains overturned the mountain village, floods broke down the dikes, and also broke through the boundary between the deep pool and the human world. The fish in the river disappeared overnight, and a huge black shadow passed under the turbid water; the villagers, ranging from curiosity to excitement, surrounded the water with harpoons and hoes. No one knew that what they were surrounding was not a naturally ferocious beast, but a past that had been buried by the academic world, a "monster" that still retained humanity. But the real chill never comes from underwater. The elders who died one after another in the flood, the couples with their own thoughts in the dilapidated family, a plot carefully laid in the name of the water monster - the scream of the child falling from the building, the bribed testimony, the desperate situation where no one can explain, all the malicious intentions surfaced openly under the cover of natural disasters. Do you think the scariest thing is the half-human, half-fish water monster? No. When the flood flooded the village road, someone took advantage of the chaos and calculated every step of retreat; it was that under the eyes of the public, black and white can be easily reversed; it was you who stood in the sunshine, but you were more like a trapped beast with nowhere to escape than a monster sinking at the bottom of the water. This is a battle intertwined with obsession, natural disasters and human nature
