Lin Mo died in the sewers of the Rusty Iron District and was corroded by the tentacles of the "tide". Only then did he understand that the "abnormalities" in the Fog City never occurred naturally, and the scavengers were never just coolies who exchanged their lives for money, but were chess pieces on someone's chessboard that could be discarded at any time.
When he opened his eyes again, he was reborn as a level three scavenger who had just been on the job for three days, and returned to the night before the tragic death. He held black bread as hard as a stone in his hand, and on his waist was the dust-purifying powder used to deal with low-level "abnormalities", and the tin box of the Qiming candle that he had discarded casually in his previous life but could dispel the "tide".
The Fog City is a world as precise as gears: scavengers clean "eclipsed paper" and "shadow dogs", craftsmen maintain roaring machines, messengers shuttle through various districts, and councilors in floating towers overlook everything. The currency is a "source crystal" the size of a fingernail. A life may not be exchanged for half a whole crystal, but it is enough for people at the bottom to gamble everything.
This time, Lin Mo returns from hell with the memory of his life, and wants to tear open the cracks in this workplace that has been paved with life: he wants to find out the truth behind the breeding of "abnormalities", protect the messenger girl Su Xiao who was the only one who tried to save him in his previous life, and make those who regard scavengers as consumables pay the price.
The fog in the Rusty Iron District has become thicker again, the "sticky tide" at the end of the alley breathes under the mycelium, and the abandoned factory hides the "paper man" who is about to evolve. Lin Mo held the tin box tightly, and the brim of his hat covered the coldness in his eyes——
After resurrecting his life, he is no longer a pawn at the mercy of others. It was time for him to take charge of this game that was based on the foggy city and life was at stake.
