[Mind-Bending Suspense + Case-of-the-Week Mysteries + Crime + Criminal Investigation + Folk Customs + Reborn] Su Dingshan is dead. He infiltrated a mysterious organization that trafficked people and harvested organs, but was exposed at a crucial moment. His limbs were severed, and he was tortured to death.
When he opens his eyes again, he finds himself back at the scene of his first case as a police officer: a village in the 1990s, an old ancestral hall, Qingming Festival, an ancient locust tree, a headless male corpse, a paper effigy weeping blood, and offerings of incense and candles. Was it a paper effigy that claimed the victim's soul, or a living person behind it all?
Children with bellies full of tadpoles in a bloody fairy tale, a videotape of a death that plays on repeat at midnight, an arm reaching through a tollbooth window, a cannibal who steals and cooks babies, a corpse sealed in a secret room with wax covering every orifice, a woman in a red dress kneeling in a public restroom stall, a human head blooming in a flowerpot...
“Since fate has let me be reborn, this time I'll tear your evil apart with my own hands!”
He makes up his mind:
◆ Identify the targets before the criminals strike
◆ Seize the crucial clues before the killer destroys the evidence
◆ Save those who were supposed to die before tragedy strikes
He thought victory was assured, but fate changed the test paper at the last minute, leaving all the answers useless.
Everything had begun to change, little by little...
“You think being reborn is a gift?” The man in the shadows chuckled. “No. It's an even crueler hunting game...”
