Logging into the game is his way of escaping the signals of life—but becomes the trap that leads her into danger.

If black mist clings to a person, he knows it is a signal that their life is about to end.
And this time, the black mist of death surrounds the girl he has feelings for in the online game…

Chen Xinhan had a car accident at the age of twenty, and since then he has been able to see the "signal" of impending death. This "signal" once clung to his former supervisor—just hours before her death, Chen Xinhan witnessed the snake-like black mist enveloping her. After that, he became afraid to leave the house, using online games to escape his daily life, and within a game, he fell for a girl named Xili.

One day, Xili repeatedly begged him to meet in person, announcing that she would be quitting the game. Chen Xinhan saw the black mist burst forth from Xili's body. She boarded a train and disappeared into the distance. Chen Xinhan could only return to the online game, trying to intercept her and prevent her from contacting the person who appeared to be her boyfriend—because that might be the reason Xili was in danger.

Chen Xinhan recalled how he had once accidentally entered the black mist surrounding his former supervisor and had seen the killer's face. But he had lost his chance to save her. This time, Chen Xinhan decides he will not lose Xili again—

Who is putting Xili in danger? Chen Xinhan decides to approach the black mist around Xili, hoping to see the killer's face clearly…

Once, he entered the game to save himself. This time, to save a girl, he decides to step out of the virtual world…

Wu Xiaole

Born in Taichung in 1989. Graduated from the Law Department of National Taiwan University. She loves parrots and enjoys observing things that others take for granted.

Her life originally went straight. Following the advice of family and friends, she chose not to pursue the path of language and literature, but instead filled in the form for a "bright" department, thinking she would be happy ever after. But she didn't expect that the more she studied, the more uncertain she felt, the more gloomy she became. Not long after graduation, she made a decision: she would not take the civil service exam in the near future, nor did she want to pursue legal work. The moment she made that decision, for the first time she felt her life derailed and directionless.

At eighteen, she met her second student, and the experience was so wonderful that she began a life of teaching in different people's homes. At twenty-two, afraid that staying at home would lead to wild thoughts, she took on a bunch of cases to fill up her schedule. As the years passed, she has gathered many stories. With a mix of surprise and delight, she writes them down, and while writing, she also repairs herself.
