Yan Changqing is a patient who has been paralyzed in bed for twelve years.
He had the same dream repeatedly for the past twelve years. In the dream, he was a healthy man with his own estate and animals to keep him company. They were apes, snakes, foxes, wolves, and butterflies.
The ape taught him imitation and wine making.
The snake taught him [detection] and [avoidance].
The fox taught him how to cheat and how to counter-cheate.
The wolf taught him "hunting" and "camouflage".
The butterfly taught him [art] and [aesthetics].
He thought that such days would continue until his death, until one day his dream changed. The animals and the manor disappeared, and were replaced by seven humans and a strange foggy world.
Is this a dream or a different space? Yan Changqing has no way of knowing. He will face one horrific incident after another and use the skills he has learned to find a way out of the incident.
During this process, he discovered something that terrified him. It turned out that he had been in the game twelve years ago...
Autumn of 1840.
The world is like a whale floating up, igniting a fire in the eyes of the boy.
A letter from more than ten miles away, a traveler from a foreign land, and several wonderful and fantastic stories.
Ritualists, strange objects, alien species, invisible techniques;
Cursed secret texts, pointy-eared cats and dragons, little people under the floor, castles walking in dreams;
Science and mystery, fantasy and reality.
The boy tapped his cane, staggered with the times, and his black hair flew and melted in the laughter behind him:
"Those who are against us are bad guys!"
The monsters said.
