An accidental fire three years ago claimed the life of Haiping City's chief medical examiner and extinguished the light in the heart of former forensic assistant Lin Mo. He became the owner of a used bookstore, licking his wounds in the musty smell of the pages, and fighting the silent years with paranoid observation. When a mysterious organization called "The Pendulum" issued a death notice with the same tactics as the death of his mentor, Lin Mo was forced to look up from the pile of old papers. As a mortal, he fought against the bottomless conspiracy. In the gray area of order and lynching, he used logic as a blade and details as a front. He vowed to tear open the darkness shrouding the city and listen to the final echo from the abyss.
