A year ago, I personally disconnected myself from the Judgment System, believing the nightmare was over. Then a “contagion of shared pain” began spreading through the city. Ordinary people suddenly started experiencing the suffering they would face as future victims, and fear drove them to become perpetrators before their time.
The source of the virus is Chen Mo, the partner I trust most. After five years of torment, his memories of his wife and daughter being brutally killed have “come alive,” and he has begun “saving” people in the cruelest way possible: making them experience death in advance, forcing them to change the future through despair.
Now I have to find a cure for the contagion before the Bureau destroys him. On one side is my closest friend, teetering on the brink of losing control; on the other, panic spreading unchecked. The truth is that from the very beginning, this disaster was a conspiracy experiment targeting the two of us.
