Those things descended upon humanity with some unknown power, attempting to descend upon the world in a bizarre manner.
Fang Zhiyi, who was already frail and sickly, was one of those who were entangled by these demons. He was always pulled into a terrifying space with gray walls. He was chained to an old iron bed with iron chains around his wrists, and the flimsy door kept making banging noises, as if something terrifying was about to rush in from outside.
Fortunately, his parents woke him up repeatedly, and he was covered in sweat when he woke up.
He has an older brother named Fang Linjie, who is strong, while Fang Zhiyi is weak. Fang Linjie never cares about this and always calls her a sickly person or a good-for-nothing.
Fang Zhiyi never minded, because he had seen it happen. The classmates who bullied him were cornered in an alley and brutally beaten by Fang Linjie, who then told them to stay away from his younger brother.
He's just a bit sharp-tongued.
But his dream grew increasingly terrifying. The door had been smashed open, and a dark, twisted figure approached his bed, seemingly wanting to say something to him.
Because of the large-scale outbreak of strange events, many people began to panic, and some people claimed to be able to exorcise demons. In order to solve Fang Zhiyi's problem, Fang's parents spent money to hire an exorcist, but after some investigation, the exorcist just shook his head: "There is no problem, no need to waste time."
Fang Linjie spat viciously at the exorcist's retreating figure.
Shortly after that day, Fang Linjie had a fierce argument with his father. Fang Zhiyi vaguely heard his own name, followed by the sound of his brother slamming the door and leaving. After that, he never saw his brother again.
Fang Zhiyi asked her father, but he remained silent.
In this environment, a group calling itself the Salvation Order suddenly appeared. They claimed that only by believing in God could people avoid the invasion of demons. At first, no one believed them, but soon after, the exorcists sent by the order actually solved some cases of demon possession, which made people start to join the ranks of believers.
Even Fang Zhiyi's parents joined in, but the cult simply told them to wait patiently in response to their prayers.
The father and mother could only choose to donate money and pray to the religious organization regularly.
However, Fang Zhiyi felt that something was not quite right, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Whether it was the prayers that worked or not, Fang Zhiyi stopped dreaming about that cold hospital room and that eerie figure, her sleep improved, and her health began to improve, which made her family very happy.
Only Fang Zhiyi still thought about his brother. He asked his father several times, but his father refused to mention his brother's whereabouts.
As the outside world descended into chaos, and the cult released a multitude of horrific records, the public's hatred and fear of demons reached their peak. Some even resorted to vigilante justice, determined to eliminate those afflicted by demons in order to prevent their reappearance.
Fang Zhiyi's home was also surrounded. Even though his parents explained repeatedly that he was cured, those people misinterpreted it as Fang Zhiyi's recovery being due to the power of a demon, which made them even more agitated.
During the conflict that night, Fang Zhiyi's parents died in the fire, and he was also injured by stones thrown by his neighbors. He lay on the ground, barely alive, waiting for death, but soon someone came to his side and took him away.
This is an exorcism team led by Lin Ye. Lin Ye said that they disapproved of the cult's practices and that he wanted to gather strength to defeat the demons in one fell swoop. Fang Zhiyi was a little skeptical. Could demons really be killed?
Regardless, he survived, and the people in his team treated him very well.
He never imagined that he, an ordinary person, could gain the favor of these people.
It wasn't until the girl in the group who was kindest to him suddenly pierced his hand with a large iron nail and pinned him to a tree that Fang Zhiyi came to his senses.
They had been deceiving him all along, just to bring him to this place and then use him to lure out Fang Linjie, his own brother, who had already sold his soul to the devil.
