The Enigmatic World

After missing the bus home, Li Ming, a first-year college student, accidentally found himself on Zerochu Bridge.

The black and red stains left by the roadside, a mysterious flyer blown over by the wind, and the words "Yuanjiu Detective Agency" drew him into a case that should have had nothing to do with an ordinary person.

Xu Tianchen, a missing programmer; the eerie Liguang Psychiatric Hospital; a body hidden beneath a fountain; traces of old experiments deep in Luoyang Village; and a tattered map that kept pointing toward the past... As the investigation deepened, Li Ming realized that every seemingly random clue was pushing him in the same direction.

Even more unsettling, the names, dreams, and old photographs that kept appearing in the case were somehow connected to his father, who had been missing for many years.

Chen Feng, Ling Yue, Yao Tianxing, and every member of the Yuanjiu Detective Agency had a past they could not easily talk about. Some were searching for the truth, some were concealing it, and others could no longer tell whether what they remembered was reality or an illusion someone had deliberately left behind.

As the psychiatric hospital, old railway station, abandoned union building, and Beichuan cold case gradually connected, a shadow known as the "Illusory World of Mystery" finally began to take shape before them.

Is the truth really hidden only at the crime scene?

Or had Li Ming already walked into someone else's carefully laid trap the moment he set foot on Zerochu Bridge?
