During the rainy season in Jizhou City, a body turns up every five days in a sewer, drainage ditch, or trash can.
An unnatural hole. A murder weapon that can't be found. A body without a trace.
The same kind of case happened twenty-seven years ago, but the killer was executed by firing squad.
Twenty-seven years later, the same methods are being used, and the bodies are still decomposing.
Ji Shu is a newcomer to Criminal Investigation Team Two, and the next target of that thing.
(The main story is complete; bonus chapters are being updated.)
New book preorder: Seven Days in the Prison Hollow
Lu Di was born a weapon, not a person.
When she received an order, she killed. When there was no order, she waited. She didn't know what she wanted, or what emotions were.
That was until the general she served was imprisoned at the Gate of Youdu after being accused of treason: a bottomless prison, a place that fed on fear.
She had seven days to go down there and bring the general back.
But on the way, she encountered common folk and soldiers, strange supernatural forces, demons and monsters, and things that had no name at all.
What she brought back wasn't the general, but things she'd never known before: pain, regret, fear, and "I want."
When she finally understood what she wanted, she had to use this newly awakened feeling to do something no one had ever taught her: make a choice for herself.
And that choice rested on the shoulders of another girl facing a choice of her own.
Theme: Bring the killer to justice; justice will prevail.
