It is born of nothingness. No shape, no will, just a mirror of absolute reality.
Human desire, malice, and fear are the first stones thrown into the mirror. Cracks spread and distorted images crawled out of the mirror, invading reality. Contamination is irreversible, like ink seeping into clear water.
Jiang Su is a lawyer who specializes in redressing unjust cases. He was poor, stubborn, and told only the truth in court. No one knows why when he tells the truth, everyone can't help but believe it - including himself.
Shen Yuan was a policeman. After his best friend died in vain and his murderer went free, he was no longer the same. His right arm has been transformed into a living organ that feeds on malice. Every lynching is feeding it, and every feeding makes him further away from "humanity". He watched himself become a monster soberly, but he couldn't stop.
A seemingly ordinary case brought the two men together. For the first time, Shen Yuan's arms felt an impulse other than hunger. Jiang Su found that every case he took on pointed to the same indescribable source.
The unit cases peel away layer by layer the evils that cannot be punished by law: bullying of minors, changes in acquittals due to flaws in evidence, and illegal imprisonment in the Internet age. Hidden in the cracks of procedural justice are horrors deeper than crime.
That's not a ghost, it's not a demon.
It is the echo of human desire. It's something that seeps out of the cracks in everyone's heart.
In the end, they will face "it" together and make a choice——
To reset the world, or to live with the incompleteness.
Purpose: When the law cannot reach the abyss, should people become their own judges?
