By the third month of the red moon hanging in the sky, the world had long ceased to resemble the one Shen Juan knew. The Out-of-Control roared through the city’s shadows, while those awakened by fragments of divinity became the only glimmer of hope against the darkness.
A boy awakened to the unusual support ability known as “Divine Prohibition: Void.” Shen Juan can turn back a brief span of time and undo what once seemed like an inevitable tragedy. His power may not be strong, but it has become his teammates’ most dependable support, especially after he reunites with Jiang Che, his childhood friend of three months’ separation, in the Cangnan Squad.
Jiang Che is a cool-headed, perceptive sniper who once fled after a loved one lost control. When he returns, a lingering gloom remains in his eyes. Lu Yan is a taciturn close-combat specialist, haunted by having once put his best friend to death. Captain Chen is steady and reliable, while Su Mu is a quick-witted, lively tech support specialist. A group of people, each bearing their own scars, have come together for a shared mission.
Shen Juan’s “Divine Prohibition: Void” can mend his teammates’ wounds and stop the Out-of-Control from ambushing them, but it seems unable to fill the cracks deep within their hearts. When Jiang Che’s gun trembles with hesitation, when an old friend’s phantom appears in Lu Yan’s blade, and when more buried secrets emerge alongside the red moon, Shen Juan finally understands: what he must save is not only the regrets of the moment, but also the bonds and convictions teetering on the brink in the darkness.
Beneath the red moon, gunfire and flashing blades intertwine as the young people march forward side by side. They are the night that hunts the Out-of-Control, and the scavengers who recover what one another has lost. With faint light as their torch and regret as their blade, they forge a road to dawn through the ruins left after the gods fell.
