Gray Tide—above the Gray Sky

A nightmare that the entire city was dreaming about woke up people in Weijin City at the same moment. The details in the dream are realized frame by frame in reality. An incorporeal consciousness - "Gray Tide" - is invading from dreams: it does not kill people, it only reads memories; every time it reads a person, that person's memory is rewinded back to the starting point, and the identity is completely covered and reduced to an empty shell. The most terrifying thing about Gray Tide is not that it is powerful, but that it "understands you better than you": it can read a person's entire past, but cannot read the truth that does not require a reason. Therefore, Sister Lin, who lives a concrete life with natural immunity, Jiang Xiao, who is awakened by emotions, and Su Hang, whose pure logic is proven to be defeated, jointly spell out the answer to the confrontation - the last weapon of mankind is not guns, but life itself: a bowl of soy milk, five yuan owed, and three unanswered phone calls. The seventy-two-hour countdown has come to an end, and the only solution is a blank page - something that can read everything, but nothing that has never happened. But when the gray tide bounced back into the cracks and the world seemed to have returned to peace, the time stamp of waking up stopped seven years ago.
