Features: A mysterious phenomenon has emerged in the world. Is it a signal of human alienation that is currently happening, or a prelude to a severe crisis threatening human survival? During a trip, Na Duo met a companion named Liu Er. One night after returning to Shanghai, Liu Er visited Na Duo. When he took off his hat and mask, a face covered in long hair appeared! This rapid atavistic phenomenon left medical experts unable to explain or treat it. This hairy man could only stay at Na Duo's home, constantly shaving his hair from morning to evening. However, the dense black hair grew abnormally quickly—before the old hair was even removed, new strands had already emerged from the skin. Later, even stranger things happened: one day, the hairy man stopped shaving because he discovered a mysterious phenomenon had uncontrollably occurred on his body. What followed was even more bizarre, almost suffocatingly tense.
This book is set against the backdrop of two real news events: the "Tomb of the Great Sage" and the "Mystery of the Three Rabbits." Through boundless imagination, it organically combines these two seemingly unrelated news stories, unfolding a profound causal narrative that reveals human nature. Some things, though spanning thousands of miles and separated by centuries, still carry equally profound meaning and philosophy. Amidst a thrilling and suspenseful atmosphere, the author creates an imaginative space filled with hidden clues, reflecting humanity's hopes and aspirations for the future from an artistic perspective.
