Shi Changyuan is the abyss, a world-class disaster that devours all life force around it and continues to expand. The end of the world is coming.
But the little flower demon doesn’t know any of this. He only knows that a new neighbor has moved in nearby. He looks a little scary, and all his human friends have fled the city overnight.
Seeing his own leaves gradually turning yellow, the little flower demon Lin Ling goes to his neighbor’s door. He stretches out his pale fingers and says aggrievedly, “I don’t mean to drive you away, but since you moved in, no one has watered or fertilized me…”
The abyss is silent for a moment, then tentatively rummages through the things it has devoured, and finds a small can of fertilizer.
Later, humans discover that the abyss has stopped expanding, but it has cordoned off a piece of land. Detection radar shows that in the very center of that land, carefully protected, is a small, unknown flower.
This piece is a quiet symphony of thought — its rhythms are soothing, but its meaning is profound.
