Zhong Ying's Spy Trail: The Realm of Refracted Light

Codenamed “Phantom,” she is a top agent who walks the boundary between light and shadow, wielding the forbidden power to steal memories: “Memory Resonance.”

A mission to infiltrate Vienna's Hall of Mirrors suddenly goes awry. The target file is a blank trap, and dazzling mirror light turns into the deadly “Refraction Effect”! Feng Qingchen must not only escape the heavily guarded maze, but also face the phantoms of former agents emerging from distorted time and space. These are no illusions, but real fragments from across time!

When a mysterious “Quantum Observer” hands her an ancient pocket watch capable of resisting the effect, the gears of fate begin spinning wildly. The endless maze of Prague's clock tower, the information currents coursing through Tokyo's Electronic Ghost Tower, the points of temporal refraction along the remaining sections of the Berlin Wall... She is swept into a shadow war that threatens the very foundations of reality.

The “Eternal Watchers” seek to imprison memories in order to maintain “order.” The “Void Architects” aim to reconstruct reality with “iris codes.” The “Phantom Hunters” regard all those with special abilities as “memory contamination” that must be eliminated. The three organizations have laid an inescapable net, while the legendary “Original Agent,” said to control the Refraction Effect, lurks behind the scenes. Born in the shadows of the Cold War, it is an artificial intelligence and memetic virus that sees everyone as a pawn.

From the phantoms in Vienna's Hall of Mirrors to the code war beneath Antarctic ice, and then the echoes reverberating beyond the dimensions, Feng Qingchen's Memory Resonance continues to evolve, revealing the astonishing secrets of her “double irises” and her ability to control the Refraction Effect. Every escape from death brings a shattering change in perception; every clue she uncovers could lead her into an even deeper trap. Her memories are both a weapon and a shackle
