Reborn from the ashes and crowned king under the dark moon.
Twenty years after his father was buried in a fire, Chen Mo, a graduate of the Department of Finance, had his peaceful life completely torn apart by a text message:
"The Black Moon Alliance issued the 'Moon Eclipse Order', and within seven days, your life will be taken."
Forced to step into the bloody world left by his father, Chen Mo discovered that everything was far from being as simple as revenge. Chen Shanhai - Jiangcheng's former "Night Emperor", before his death, he dismantled a list of names that could subvert the entire city into seven pieces of memory, and sealed them in the minds of seven former subordinates. Keys are scattered, clues are broken, and the behemoth "Black Moon Alliance" in the shadow has begun system cleaning.
From the abandoned wharf in the old port area to the dangerous rainy night in Yunzhou, from the secret meeting of the old sisters in the soy milk shop to the fatal confrontation under the tide of Dong'ao Bay, Chen Mo, with the assistance of the night watchman organization, collected the "keys" left by his father along the way, pieced together the star map, and chased the dim light guided by the tide signal lamp.
The strange light behind the underwater iron fence, the obscure code words conveyed by the scholar through his sister, the police insider's warning that his life was hanging by a thread, the mysterious sniper "Night Owl"'s helpless help... The mystery is as deep as a whirlpool. And the "Moon Phase Group" of the Black Moon Alliance has come out in full force. The "Xiaxian" who is good at creating "perfect accidents" regards killing as an art. Deeper, the shadow of the "Full Moon" shrouds the black and white in Jiangcheng.
When the tide comes again and the moon sets in the southeast, Chen Mo must carry the incomplete key and his father's pocket watch, dive under the cold water of Dong'ao Bay, and open the "door" that has been sealed for twenty years.
What is waiting for him behind the door, is it a list of redemption or an all-devouring curse?
