On the surface, Shen Mo is an aloof criminal psychology consultant whom the police hired with considerable reservations. In truth, he hides multiple secret identities: he is “S,” a legendary figure in international criminal profiling, as well as “Ghost,” a mysterious hacker who strikes fear into serial killers around the world. If his true identity is exposed, he will face both revenge-seeking enemies and a police investigation, ruining his plan to uncover the truth behind his parents’ bizarre deaths.
- **An Impossible Mission**: Faced with a series of bizarre murders that imitate his past profiling cases with chilling expertise, Shen Mo must investigate in secret using his secret identities while under close police surveillance, especially from a detective captain who deeply distrusts him. He must also avoid revealing that he is the “original” whose work the killer is copying. Time is running out: the killer has announced the next murder, with the police force itself in the crosshairs.
- **A Dilemma**: When the investigation suggests there may be a “pair of eyes” inside the police force helping the killer, and that they may even be connected to his parents’ old case, Shen Mo must choose between using all of “S” or “Ghost’s” resources to solve the case quickly, with a strong chance of exposing his identity, and maintaining the unremarkable facade of a consultant while proceeding slowly, which could cost more lives.
