Baidu, codenamed "Raven", was held to the back of the head with a gun by the commander of the military command station - his supervisor was dead, the whole city knew that he was a Communist, and the firing squad was in place three minutes later.
But he just pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and calmly recited tomorrow's breakfast menu for the Secrecy Bureau in front of a room full of enemies. He had already hidden the entire intelligence network in his head, and every name was a countdown bomb.
From the execution ground to the confidential room, from the death row prisoner to the chess player - see how Bai Du, alone, makes the entire fallen city count down with his heartbeat.
