In a nutshell: The forensic pathologist’s version of Death’s Kaleidoscope meets the professional’s version of I Have a Horror House
Story:
At 58, senior forensic pathologist Lin Mo has only one thing left to do in his career: make every body tell the truth.
That is, until the day he performs an autopsy on a woman and the corpse opens its eyes and says, “Dr. Lin, you can see it too, right?”
From then on, he sees a panel floating above everyone’s head
[Death File] Apparition of the Death Scene | Risk Level | Cause-of-Death Keywords | Time Until Death
But this ability comes at a price:
▸ Touch a corpse with a risk level of 90% or higher, and your consciousness is dragged into a [Supernatural Case Instance] built from the deceased’s memories.
▸ Each instance contains three to five rules of death. Break one, and you die.
▸ Every person he saves transfers the cost to his only apprentice, Su Qing.
And Su Qing’s death file shows exactly the same death scene as the woman’s corpse from the first day.
To make matters worse, a serial killer who uses suturing needles as his weapon has appeared.
He sets Lin Mo questions using corpses.
And Lin Mo has to get every answer right.
Until the final question arrives
Lin Mo realizes that the only way to escape is to dissect a corpse.
That corpse is his own.
