Brilliant biologist Ye Qingyang leads a 30-person research team deep into a mysterious forbidden realm. There they discover a seemingly fragile golden insect—weak in appearance, yet terrifyingly aggressive. The creature spreads through bodily fluids, rapidly parasitizing humans and transforming them into mindless, grotesque monsters. One by one the team falls. In the final moment of despair, Ye Qingyang detonates the explosives, choosing to die together with the horrors he failed to contain.
But death is not the end. His consciousness refuses to fade. He awakens inside the body of a twelve-year-old boy named Su Mubai… at a summer camp sitting right on the edge of the same deadly realm.
