In 1973, Hong Kong is at its darkest hour. The police collude with the underworld, and corruption runs rampant!
Lu Zhilian is reborn as a low-ranking cop on the margins, and from the start, his corrupt superior is about to silence him by burying him at sea! At the critical moment, he awakens the “Order Simulation Sandbox,” which lets him predict the next 48 hours!
He steals the inspector’s ledger, forces the Governor’s car to stop, and stakes his life on a scheme that lands him a top post at the ICAC!
On his very first day, he storms a “mine-clearing banquet” in full gear and smashes his corrupt superior with a rifle butt, sending shockwaves through Hong Kong!
But the law cannot touch the four families whose power reaches everywhere. So when night falls, Lu Zhilian puts on a mask and becomes “Mr. X,” the underground godfather feared by Hong Kong’s criminal underworld!
By day, he leads raids and shows no mercy, a living demon to every corrupt official in Hong Kong!
By night, he monopolizes the docks and purges the gangs, a god of the underworld with power over all!
Until one day, an elite undercover agent sent by the Commissioner of Police risks death again and again to uncover Mr. X’s true identity. Seeing Lu Zhilian sipping coffee in the ICAC’s top office chair, the agent drops to his knees in terror, shattering them on the floor. “S-Sir... So the biggest criminal empire in Hong Kong has been operating out of the ICAC this whole time?!”
