The Black Detective and the White Murderer

[Updates paused. Don't start reading.]

[Black Detective's Rule: Cast aside humanity, abandon everything, and uncover the truth at any cost.]

[White Murderer's Rule: Be restrained and patient, remain kind and neutral, and punish only the most evil.]

K is a globally popular full-dive game. Players receive identity cards and engage in a deadly battle of wits.

The number one Black Detective on the player rankings has held the spot for ten years. His codename, "Pantu," is famous far and wide, and his case-solving rate is 100 percent. They say no White Murderer can escape his pursuit.

He never appears in the game, making him its most mysterious player.

Xiang Jinyu wakes up in the wilderness with no memories, but finds an identity card in his pocket. Three words are written on it: White Murderer, Level 0.

He fabricates an identity and conceals his amnesia. With swift, decisive strokes, he wipes out evil, then sheds his White Murderer identity and hides among the players, only to catch the unwavering gaze of a man in black.

Xiao Ji Ge approaches Xiang Jinyu, his gaze dark. The words "Black Detective" shimmer in silver on his identity card. "You have no evidence to clear yourself of suspicion. I have reason to suspect that you're the White Murderer."

Only later does Xiang Jinyu learn that the famous "Pantu" is closer than he ever imagined.

Later still, he hears that the game never matches players at random. A Black Detective and a White Murderer only end up in the same game when they are evenly matched.
