From a child who couldn't bear to step on ants to death, to the codename "Night Owl" that frightened both black and white, Lin Xiao's life was a carefully planned fall.
At the age of five, he witnessed the collapse of justice; at the age of fifteen, he learned to repay blood with blood in the quagmire of school bullying; at the age of twenty-five, he had become the most efficient "scavenger" on the dark web rankings, cold, precise, and without any trace.
However, when the order was directed at the mentor who had given him the only warmth, and when the gun was pointed at the innocent pupils that resembled his childhood self, a thin crack opened in his frozen core.
This is a bloody epic spanning fifty years, the whole process of a kind soul being crushed by time and fate. In Lin Xiao's world, we will ask together: When the world responds with arsenic, is kindness just a luxurious original sin? When cold-bloodedness has become instinct, is the trace of humanity that has not been wiped out a glimmer of redemption, or a more cruel destruction?
Very well written personal advice
