1896, London.
My name is Chen Zihao, and I am a Lan Liang. I can touch the remnants of the dead and see their last moments.
But the afterimage only records the truth that the dead believe - and the dead sometimes die from a lie.
An unknown corpse was recovered from under the Southwark Bridge. The brand on the wrist pointed to the Imperial Intelligence Service. In the film on the other side, there was a figure leaving calmly, and the afterimage on the cast iron railing told me——
Someone laughed when he fell from the bridge.
Under gaslight, all the dead have testimonies.
This investigation led to the tropical greenhouse of the Royal Botanic Gardens, and to the layer of history that the empire least wanted to uncover.
The question has never been whether the truth is there - the question is whether you dare to read it to the end.
