Shen Yanzhi has three rules: never discuss faith, leave no survivors, and never make a deal at a loss.
To maintain his cover, he personally sent his beloved into the torture chambers of the Japanese puppet regime’s Bureau 76. To escape, he used the Japanese to blow up his own arms depot.
In the eyes of the Wang Jingwei regime, he is “Commander Shen.” To the Military Statistics Bureau, he is “Mr. Shen.” And in the underground party’s top-secret files, he is the time bomb codenamed “Ghost.”
For ten years, he has made himself into a poisoned blade, killing not only the enemy but his own allies as well.
As the city teeters on the brink of collapse and monsters run rampant, he stands on the banks of the Huangpu River atop countless corpses and raises his cup to the surging waters:
“This cup is for the wronged souls I killed… It’s a pity you can’t drink it.”
This is the story of a man who became evil incarnate, yet fought with everything he had to claw his way back to humanity as the end drew near.
