Red Moon Protocol: Beyond the Rules

The fog in Yuzhou Prefecture has hidden secrets for more than seventy years. Chen Mo clutched the note left by his father before he disappeared - "Pay attention to the files from 1943". The day he stepped into Cheng'an Archives Company, light red lines suddenly appeared on his palms, as if he had been "acknowledged" by the old files. The red moon hanging in the night sky that night tore away the pretense of the city: the bleeding computer screen, the Republic of China archives that turned the pages on their own, the cold black hands stretched out in the mirror, and the pale face of colleague Xiao Zhang after being entangled in a black shadow, all pointed to a truth that was deliberately buried. Nineteen souls of a shipwreck in the Chongqing River in 1943, the silver collar around the neck of folklore graduate student Lin Xia that can provide early warning, and the "disappearance of the man in the mirror" that retired criminal policeman Zhao Yong has been pursuing for 20 years, three clues are unexpectedly intertwined. When Chen Mo touched the secret file stamped with the seal of "Yujiang Cemetery Bureau" in the ancient books section of the old library, when the fragment of the bronze mirror felt hot in his palm, and when the red moon rose again, he finally understood: his father was not missing, but was "hidden" in the file, and the lines on his palm were the key to the truth and a talisman to wake up. "The red moon appears, the files move, the person in the mirror asks for his life" - the prophecy of the elders is coming true. Chen Mo, Lin Xia, and Zhao Yong must sneak into the sunken ship at the bottom of the river to retrieve the complete bronze mirror and unlock the seal of the bronze box before the red moon appears. Otherwise, the entire Yuzhou Prefecture will become the soul in the mirror. But they don't know that the "editor" behind the scenes has already laid a dragnet, and the clues left by their father also hide even more terrifying rules...
