In the dazzling, unpredictable city of Yungang, online novelist "X" became a mysterious "prophet" in the eyes of countless readers with a dark suspense novel titled City Hunters. Its explicit depictions of "online dating, offline scams," merciless condemnation of human hypocrisy, and chilling details of its "judgments" stirred enormous controversy even as the book became a runaway hit.
However, just as City Hunters reached its climax, "X" suddenly stopped updating and vanished without a trace.
At the same time, a nightmare swept across Yungang. A series of murders unfolded, each exactly matching the events in City Hunters. Every case seemed like a "deadly script" penned by "X" himself, playing out with uncanny precision in real life.
Chen Mo, an algorithm engineer, was one of "X"'s most devoted readers. His profound understanding of every detail in City Hunters, including the author’s peculiar obsession with "lies" and "judgment" hidden between the lines, gave him a vague feeling that the truth was not so simple. When more suspected new "chapters" by "X" (murder warnings) continued to appear after the author's disappearance, Chen Mo resolved to seek the truth in his own way...
Was "X" casting the shadow of judgment from behind the scenes, or had he already become a character in an even more terrifying story? In this "deadly script" written in lies, betrayal, and mad desire, can Chen Mo stop the final chapter in this race against time? Or is he already caught up in it himself?
