The Security Guard Was Told to Get Lost, So He Hit the Alarm and the Whole City...

When a customer tells security guard Chen Jin to “get lost,” he quietly presses the alarm. In an instant, the entire city loses power, the subway grinds to a halt, and communications collapse, plunging millions into panic. No one knows that the alarm has awakened the dormant “will of the city” within him. Electrical engineer Lin Zhuo traces the abnormal signal and discovers that the alarm is connected to her father’s death. Old Zhao’s lies, Zhou Yan’s iron-fisted rule, A Ya’s whispers, and Shopkeeper Wang’s secret intertwine into a neural network spanning the entire city. When the alarm sounds again, Chen Jin must choose: become the city’s salvation, or the tyrant who devours it.
