In an antique shop on a rainy night, a fatal transaction opened a crack in the abyss.
On the 731st day after former agent Ning Ye's "death", he lurked in the old alley under the pseudonym "Shadow Warrior". When securities girl Lin Xia came to the door with a photo of her missing brother, the CT-742 container number stung his blood-stained memory - the bloody mission in the Burmese rainforest two years ago, it was the smuggled goods with this number that turned the entire team into corpses.
At the moment of the transaction, Ning Ye smelled the smell of conspiracy.
The faded ring mark on Lin Xia's ring finger, the biochemical data with cartoon stickers on the USB flash drive, and the military-grade hacker who reversely tracked the IP, all the clues point to the "dark river" - the dark organization that devoured his former comrades. What's even more deadly is that the dormant "shadow bite" ability in his body has begun to run rampant, and the blue light emerging from his blood vessels is eroding his sanity, and all of this is actually related to Zhou Muyun, CEO of the biological giant "New Era".
When the antique store burst into flames in the explosion, Ning Ye dragged Su Xiaoyu, a rookie hacker, on the run. The tracker in the girl's backpack flashed red, and the sniper's bullets in the dark were engraved with familiar numbers. He finally saw the chess game clearly: Lin Xia's tears, the missing researcher, and even his own "death" two years ago were all part of the giant puzzle of the "Shadow Devouring Project".
At this moment, Ning Ye stood in the subway tunnel with sewage flowing across it, letting the dehumanizing blue lines crawl all over her neck. The surveillance screen showed that the "Shadow Warrior" who should have been burned to ashes was walking out of the fire scene, and the Tang sword drew a cold arc in the rain.
