The Lamplighter on a Foggy Night

Three years after the Fog Night descended, humanity retreated to the cities. Only one rule remained for staying alive: after dark, don’t answer. Shen Ci had died 814 times. Every time he died, he returned to six o’clock that morning and received a “death benefit” from fate: Fall from a building, and he got 【Fall Cushion】; Drown, and he got 【Breath-Holding: Intermediate】; Get eaten alive by something in the fog, and suffer for eleven minutes, and he got 【Fog Sense】, an absurdly powerful ability. Others traded their lives for money. He traded his life for another life. Tonight, the fog arrived earlier than forecast. Babies were crying all over the city. He pulled out his notebook and wrote down his 815th attempt: 【Goal this time: Not to survive. To find out who the fog is waiting for.】
