Shadow on the Blade

The neon lights of the city can never illuminate the rancid smell of the dark alleys, just like no one can see clearly his face under the hood. He is a top killer codenamed "Hu". The bullets in the gun chamber are never missed, and there is only death silence where the blade cuts. His peers say he has no heart, and his target says he is a demon seeking life, but only he knows that every time he pulls the trigger, he will see himself from many years ago - a past he buried with his own hands, and a chain that wraps around his nerves. When a commission that points to the truth of the year appears, he steps into a carefully crafted trap. The pursuit by the police, the encirclement and suppression by enemies, and the approach of allies left him teetering on the edge of a knife. When gunfire tore through the night, he finally understood: the real shadow was never on the blade, but in every hesitant heartbeat of his heart. When the blood of the past intertwines with the sins of the present, will he become a colder killer or a prey swallowed by the shadows?
