Synopsis

Halfway through brain surgery, Li Minghua woke up!

It wasn't the anesthesia wearing off. The experimental Xing Sui-III drug had forcibly dragged his consciousness out of the anesthetic haze.

He could feel the nanoblade moving through his brain and hear the lead surgeon whisper, “This bullet... isn't Imperial issue.”

The drug took effect, and he fell into his own memories:

A wolf pack on the snowfield, a dead end behind stone walls, a sniper in the shadows. He died again and again, and came back to life again and again.

At the moment of his eighth death, a little girl's voice slipped into his mind: “Uncle, the person who shot you from the shadows got away.”

When he woke up, he had amnesia.

The 306 murder case remains unsolved, Xing Sui smuggling is rife beneath the surface, and an eight-year-old girl clutches half a pendant as she searches for her uncle.

He looked down. His name was engraved on the back of the pendant.

He thought he was the one investigating the case. In truth, he was the case itself.

The darkness beneath the lamp. The most dangerous person is right beside you.
