Under the museum’s quiet lights, a Warring States jade cicada began to buzz inside its glass display case.
As if possessed, history student Lin Mo took it in his hand. An icy chill spread through him at once.
When he opened his eyes again, the stench of blood assaulted him, mingling with the mud.
Amid the deafening clash of battle, he saw a red-armored general beneath a tattered banner bearing the character “Chu,” swinging his halberd through the curtain of rain.
Cold mud, mixed with dark red blood, flowed over his ankles.
That figure cut through the rain, and through the pages of history as Lin Mo had known them.
The Hegemon-King Xiang Yu was right there, smashing through the Qin army’s battle formation.
And Lin Mo had become an out-of-place speck of dust in this epic battle.
