Synopsis

Traditional illusion × urban arena × psychological trick × deadly guard [The antidote to the book shortage] It's not a brainless novel, it's not a clever villain! Every illusion is a matter of life and death, and every trust is a knife in the heart. From being an orphan to a "middleman", between rules and people's hearts, how can a tightrope walker become a rule-maker? "They taught me that magic tricks the eyes. My dad said illusions trick the heart." Among the rules of the Eight Outer Gates: Red handkerchiefs are used to perform phantom plays, making a living is also a matter of purpose, keeping secrets is also abiding by the rules. Don't act empty, don't hit the ground, leave no traces, don't deceive the mind. "You want to find the truth? Yes." "Act a few scenes with me first." Perform a "Five Ghost Transport" for the thieves Give Qianmen a show of "The Ghost in the Heart" Perform a "Color is Emptiness" for Orchid Gate Finally—— On the Yangtze River, I reenacted the "Dragon Gate Fantasy Drama" in which my parents were burned to death. This time, I want all those who are hiding in the dark to step into the light themselves. "Now, the show has begun." "Please, come in."

Reader comments

This is a rare masterpiece of Chinese suspense. The story uses illusion as a guide to connect the rules of the world, human calculations and old cases. The writing style is calm and restrained, and the plot progresses layer by layer. It not only involves the competition between hand speed and eyesight, but also the thinking about human nature and rules. The rhythm is comfortable and it is very interesting to watch.

The folk illusion + suspense investigation is written very solidly, without being suspended or exaggerated. The story opens with the 1998 "Longmen Fantasy Opera" fire in Jiangcheng. The protagonist, Lu Yuan, witnessed the tragic death of his parents when he was young. He followed Wang Hai to hide in the city, practicing the illusion skills while tracing the truth of the year. The story integrates the settings of the Eight Outer Gates (theft gate, Gu gate, agency gate, etc.) Into real cases. Illusion is not a superpower, but a combination of techniques, mechanisms and psychological manipulation. The logic is online, the details are eye-catching, and the pace is relaxed and moderate. It is suitable for readers who like slow-burn suspense and a sense of the world.

A Gangster Novel, If You Don't Want to Read a Mindless Novel!

I want to read a book similar to "Dragon Head". The protagonist group has its own characteristics, don't be too stereotyped, everyone has their own logo.
