The Bell Slayer: From Z07 to Ruler of the City

When the gears of Erqi Tower crushed his spine,

a million people heard the lament of the cycle restarting

He was marked “Z-07”:

a wage slave who fell to his death from the 33rd floor, only to open his eyes reborn

an employee badge engraved with a blood code

a murder weapon lodged in the throats of a thousand corpses in a cold-storage facility

Zhengzhou City called him a madman with a split personality.

▌He raised his chainsaw sword and aimed it at the mechanical heart:

■ Shatter Erqi Tower’s haunted clock: every crack in its pendulum unlocks another memory of a murder

■ Tear apart the lies behind the brain-computer experiments: the corpse numbered F-0228 in the cold-storage facility is wearing his childhood sweater

■ Burn down the data prison: in the blue flash of the server exploding beneath the Jinshui River, Zhou Yan’s shattered gold-rimmed glasses are reflected

▌As the whole city fell into the dead silence of 0:00,

he clutched the bloodstained brain-computer controller and stepped into the subway’s black abyss.

The phone screen glowed faintly:

“Welcome back, Controller.”

And in the reflection in the train window, the Z-07 brand burned deep within his pupils!
