As deputy captain of a special operations team, Xi He has always been icily composed and restrained.
But no one knows that he is a sinner. When he was eight, he seized the chance to enter Zhongtian Space and survive from the person who had saved his life, then abandoned his savior in that wasteland.
Sixteen years later, Xi He finally gets the chance to return to the wasteland and revisit the place where he once said goodbye.
In the lawless Wasteland District 27, all kinds of people run rampant. As Xi He struggles to carry out his work, he also tries to find the person who saved him all those years ago. Is he still alive? How has he been living?
Just then, Rong Yi enters Xi He's sights as a criminal suspect.
A professional debt collector, he leads a disorderly life, yet somehow has connections throughout all of District 27. He also keeps getting mixed up in the cases Xi He investigates.
Could he be the person who saved Xi He all those years ago?
Their parting has left Xi burdened with guilt ever since. This time, he is willing to give his life to make things right.
But the person who saved him seems very different from before.
"I don't want your life. What I want..."
A cold fingertip came to rest against his chest. Those eyes, brimming with intense emotion, looked straight into his heart.
I want to plunge a blade into my enemy's heart.
I want our flag to fly once more over this ancient land.
A touch of cyberpunk, a touch of wasteland, a touch of crime investigation, set in an alternate future.
