In 227 BC, Jing Ke failed to assassinate Qin.
Criminal profiler Shen Du opened his eyes and was kneeling on the beheading table in Xianyang City, with the knife already placed on his neck.
Thirty steps away, the supervisor's left hand was shaking.
Shen Du smiled.
"Sir, please accept the money. Someone is coming to rob the execution ground today."
——The knife stopped.
From a death row prisoner to the number one killer of the Shadow Sect, from a court official to the blade of the empire. He doesn't need a knife, he only needs to look at you to know what you are afraid of, what you are hiding, and where you want to go next.
He thought he was playing chess.
Until someone told him: you are not the first. Someone came thirty years before you, and—he has been waiting for you.
