After finishing the current manuscript of "The Madman's Mouth," Cui Siter felt a bit dizzy.

The story began with the disappearance of a novelist—a well-known horror writer who vanished after leaving behind the beginning of a new novel. There was much public speculation, while the detective and his two assistants, who were in charge of the investigation, were attacked at a teahouse. They defeated their attackers and went to the publishing house in search of clues about the novelist's whereabouts, and that was exactly where the story cut off.

It was clear to any astute reader that the content of this novel was almost identical to the experiences that Lu Ban and the others had had so far, with the addition of a few extra plot points. The novel mentioned that the detectives, through an investigation of clues provided by the publishing house, discovered that the novelist might have gone to a small town not far from the city.
