Linjiang is foggy all year round.
This old city, which is run through by old rivers and waterways, has an unrecorded energy catastrophe a hundred years ago sealed underground.
Since then, aliens have been born in the world, and the world calls them - scar-bearers.
They can see the remaining fragments of time, touch the disappeared evidence, and capture the malice that ordinary people cannot detect.
But all abilities have a price. The closer you get to the truth, the more you will be devoured by yourself.
Cheng Xu, a former criminal investigation team member, possesses the most cruel power [after-image recall]. By touching the scene, he can see the fragments of the crime, glimpse the last encounter of the deceased, and glimpse the hidden traces of the murderer.
But the price is: every time he goes back, he loses part of his self-memory. The picture is silent, the timing is out of order, and the real and fake are intertwined. The murderer also has the top-level power [Global Clearance], which can erase all evidence of crime and tamper with everyone's superficial memory.
As he pursues the murder case, the closer he gets to the truth, the more he forgets who he is. A series of murders swept through Fog City, and the dead all pointed to the descendants of survivors of a century-old disaster.
The trace cleaners in the dark slaughter the blood and cleanse the past. The special affairs office of the official organization is rotten, and the real and fake enemies are nested layer by layer.
When broken afterimages began to intersperse omens of the future, and when forgotten memories hid his own destiny, Cheng Xu finally knew that he himself was the last and most critical sacrifice in this century-old conspiracy.
The mist conceals the crime, and the afterimage deceives others.
At the cost of amnesia, I trace all the illusions in the world.
Intention: The price of the truth is never just sacrifice, but also self-loss. The protagonist Cheng Xu has the ability to see into the past, but he has to exchange clues at the cost of constant memory loss. Story discussion: When the pursuit of the truth requires a little bit of "who am I" to be erased, is the truth still worth pursuing? The truth is valuable, but one's self, memory, and emotions cannot be sacrificed either. Even if one has special abilities, one should not be reduced to a tool for solving puzzles.
