Seventy years ago, strange beasts appeared around the world and slaughtered almost all of humanity. Only a small number of people escaped and hid deep in the mountains. Sixty years ago, Dr. Zhao Zheng discovered psychic powers through his research on the beasts and taught humanity how to use them. Years later, people built cities to defend against the beasts and eventually established a new order. Qin Jin was one of the city’s residents. Crossing the river to find the secrets Dr. Zhao Zheng had left behind for fighting the beasts was his duty, but a mysterious person he met during the Battle of the River changed his life forever. He had thought that, still so young, he would have to spend the rest of his life facing a bleak future. But then a sudden string of murders gave him hope for a new beginning.
A promising start but a disappointing finish
This is such a rushed and poorly written ending! The story is supposed to be a detective/intrigue novel, but the non-main plot points are just too verbose.
