Candle Energy

When your shadow starts attacking passers-by, are you a monster or prey? Former special soldier Shen Ye relied on "psychic reading" to make a living in the gray area south of the city, until he discovered that many low-level superpowers had been turned into a vegetative state, and the same thing remained in their memories - shadow tentacles. Forensic doctor Jiang Ci can see the past from the corpse, and she confirmed that the tentacles contained "synthetic" ingredients. Taxi driver Tang Meng suddenly woke up three days ago. There were uncontrollable black tentacles hidden in his shadow, but in the opposite direction - not absorbing, but infusing. Fourteen-year-old hacker Bai Crow hacked into the administration's top-secret database and dug up a project codenamed "Xinhuo": artificially creating predators and using transfers as recycling containers. The man behind the scenes is Ji Wangshu, the former elite of the administration who defected, codenamed "Eclipse Lord". He is using the entire city to conduct an experiment on super evolution. Shen Ye led Tang Meng into Ji Wangshu's underground lair, only to find that the walls were covered with Tang Meng's photos. Every red thread points to him - the "seed" was implanted in his arm three months ago. And tomorrow is the day when the ninety-day incubation period expires. Tang Meng's shadow began to lose control, and Ji Wangshu's apostles appeared in groups from the shadows. At the end of the countdown, will Tang Meng become the weapon that ends everything - or the monster that destroys everyone? "They drained other people's powers just to feed the sleeping seed in my body." --- When predators crawl out of the shadows, can you tell who is your enemy and who is you?
