Nine Tribulations Return to Ruins

Shen Heng woke up in a sealed stone room. The smell of blood oozed from the top of his head. On the table are engraved a list of crimes and punishments. The thing in the bronze mirror said: You are already dead. Within nine days, find the innocent person, otherwise they will be reduced to powder. He is a forensic doctor. He doesn't look at the face, but looks at the hands. In the nine hands, he saw eight crimes and the same secret - something went wrong in the trial. But after opening the door of the stone courtyard, he discovered that the stone chamber was only the first level. Outside the gate is a city built of dead men's bones. On the ninth day, everyone collapsed. Then he woke up again in the stone room. A piece of memory is missing. There are more words on the back of the hand. There are carvings on the stone wall. Countless layers. One rebel on each level. Every layer failed. He's not the first. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
