| Summary | Young seismologist Keizo Osumi, dispatched to the desolate Karei Island, finds his mundane assignment shattered by the arrival of the enigmatic Dr. Todoroki, a renowned Mars researcher, and his captivating assistant, Sachiko. Dr. Todoroki’s unsettling theories about Mars’s sinister connection to Earth’s seismic activity soon intertwine with a chilling local mystery: a brutally dismembered corpse. As Osumi investigates the professor's increasingly erratic behavior and a disturbing "posthumous memo," he uncovers a horrifying truth that threatens to redefine life itself. On a remote island where shadows stretch long and trust is a luxury, Osumi and Sachiko must confront a terrifying invasion from beyond our world, where humanity itself is the prey. But what monstrous intelligence truly lurks behind Dr. Todoroki's dark secrets. |
