Ward Off Misfortune

Introduction to the work "Record of Avoiding Disaster" Lin Yue, a college student, got a handwritten note "A Record of Avoiding Disasters" after his grandfather passed away. The notes record a large number of strange incidents and taboos - don't look back, don't pick up money on the ground, don't answer if someone calls your name in the middle of the night. Lin Yue didn't take it seriously at first, until unexplainable strange things began to happen around him: his roommate went insane, non-existent figures appeared in the corridor, and the world in the mirror was half a second slower than reality. He was forced to believe that the "rules" recorded by his grandfather were all rules of survival earned at the cost of his life. As the investigation deepened, Lin Yue discovered that all the abnormalities pointed to an abandoned water tower in his hometown village. This water tower suppresses some kind of indescribable existence, and his grandfather, his childhood sweetheart Shen Luxi's grandmother, and the uncle who sells fried rice at the school gate were all "descendants of seven households" who guarded the secret. What frightened him even more was that his grandfather's notes recorded a forbidden technique called "Borrowing Life" - and his own life experience may be the most critical link in this cause and effect that spans decades. When the boundary between reality and illusion begins to blur, and when people around him die one after another, Lin Yue must make a choice: whether to believe that all this is a psychotic delusion, or to admit that the cracks in the world are real - and are constantly expanding.
