The dust of the Raven case has settled, but the news brought back by Shen Du from abroad has revealed an even bigger black hole.
All the genetic data being resold, experimental records disguised as legitimate research, and children being auctioned—the source points to the same person. Thirty years ago, White Crow's mentor left the country with the original data after his partner died in the line of duty, and disappeared from the world. Thirty years later, he changed his name and continued his research on gene editing under the guise of a legitimate academic.
He was the true starting point of Project Raven. He is H. U.
Song Jian and Lu Sinian received a new mission: to trace the whereabouts of H. U. Across borders and recover the last batch of original data that was taken away. From abandoned warehouses in the South Pacific to laboratories of overseas biotechnology companies, from remaining nodes on darknet auction platforms to podiums at international academic conferences, the clues are tightening inch by inch.
But the H. U. Knows them better than they think.
The genetic marker in Lu Sinian's body was the first-generation tracer sequence designed by H. U. It was both evidence and a target. When the identity of the hunter and the prey begins to blur, when the enemy's true purpose gradually emerges - he is not avoiding pursuit, he is waiting for them to come.
"The game continues."
