Chapter 187

Chapter 1: Ripples in an Ordinary World Amid the hustle and bustle of the bustling metropolis lived a young photographer named Chen Yu. He loved using his camera lens to capture the beauty of the world, spending his days darting through the city's main avenues and tiny alleys in search of unique photographic angles. On this particular day, the sunlight was just right, and Chen Yu, with his camera slung over his shoulder as usual, arrived at an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city. The factory had long been deserted, its mottled walls and rusted machinery exuding a weathered and mysterious aura that made it precisely the kind of subject matter Chen Yu adored. Chen Yu walked around inside the factory, intently searching for a suitable shooting spot. When he reached the factory's basement, a damp and stale odor rushed toward him. The basement was dimly lit, permeated by an eerie silence. Relying on a photographer's acute perception of light, Chen Yu spotted a spot in the corner that emitted a faint glow.
