The crazy woman who claimed to be his "colleague," whose file stated "extremely dangerous, kill on sight," was protecting him nonetheless. Each chapter ends with a new mystery, and the answers you thought you'd solved are completely overturned in the next chapter—for example, you might think the mastermind is a high-ranking figure in the underworld, only to discover that even they are just pawns; you might think your "fate" is given by the system, only to find that it might come from the first memory sacrificed by the protagonist. Most deadly of all, even the protagonist himself isn't sure if "Gu Qing" is his real name. This layered, increasingly terrifying suspense is absolutely captivating.
