By day, he's a 28-year-old convenience-store good-for-nothing with hair that looks like it was struck by lightning. His dream is to “win another bottle.”
By night, he's a mysterious case solver on the dark web known by the codename “Night Owl,” able to see through every puzzle.
Then he discovers a young woman from the Republic of China era, her corpse frozen in time for eighty years, inside a freezer.
The surveillance footage shows that the freezer was never opened.
The moment he touches the body, a flood of information surges into his mind: a disappearance from 1943, a death repeated seven times, and a plea for help written in blood...
Strange events begin breaking out across the city: statues that move at midnight, corridors with no way out, death prophecies that write themselves...
A mysterious organization called the “Reconstructors” is collecting these “fragments of reality,” hoping to piece together a “new reality” that will upend the world.
Now this lazy bum, who'd rather sleep than save the world, has no choice but to put on his flip-flops and embark on a bizarre and dangerous urban epic to protect the flawed yet impossibly real old world.
Some truths should remain buried forever; some omniscience is a curse, not a blessing.
