About This Novel

Jiang Lin woke up in the seventh freezer of the funeral home, with a death countdown of 168:00:00 imprinted on his arm. He was thrown into the "Shadow City" - a cruel arena created by the gods. The rules are twisted, lies are the way to life, and the truth is the way to death. The loser becomes a monster, and the winner cannot escape the fate of the chess piece. He is forced to travel with three broken souls: Rakshasa: A violent weapon whose pain is power, trapped in the shackles of atonement. Bai Yan: A wise man who can predict the future for three seconds, burning his memory and racing against a terminal illness. Xiaochan: A girl who sings to appease monsters, with a countdown to destruction hidden deep in her pure eyes. They struggle to survive and obtain the forbidden power called "The Vientiane Card". However, the split in the administrator camp set off a battle for theocracy, and Jiang Lin's broken memory revealed his terrifying origins with the city. The most deadly thing is that every time the cicada chirps behind the girl's ears, she is one step closer to her complete disintegration as a "divine vessel". The seven chirps of cicadas are the key to tearing apart reincarnation and the death knell for her to be wiped out. When trust equals suicide: Jiang Lin must risk everything in the god's death puzzle-- Destroy the cage in exchange for freedom (even if the cost is eternal oblivion)? Or take over the blood-stained crown and establish a cold new order? The cicadas will stop chirping for seven days. Who will the bells ring for in the end? This is a survival game against God, and it is also a desperate counterattack on the edge of betrayal and redemption in the name of love.
