[Urban Imagination + Supernatural Martial Arts Mystery]
Su Zhaowei was just a 23-year-old male nurse, going to work and paying rent every day. Only when he found himself at the scene of the same accident for a second time did he realize that he returned with his memories after dying, and that his next death was drawing near.
The last train hurtles into a sealed tunnel. Each time the lights go out, the anomaly creeps closer. One passenger turns to look and has all four limbs broken on the spot, never to leave the train again. Su Zhaowei saves the person who died first last time, disrupting the order of the deaths to come. He can only drag the wounded along as he escapes with students, police officers, and ordinary people protecting their loved ones.
After the train, anomalies invade schools, homes, and underground districts one after another. Someone deliberately releases monsters to slaughter the survivors. Armed gangs kidnap those who grow stronger, officials seize the spoils, and nonhuman foes even learn to copy their fighting styles. Enduring phantom pain and insomnia left by his repeated returns, Su Zhaowei goes from testing things out by repeatedly risking his life alone to training others in martial arts, seizing anomalous powers, laying ambushes, and striking back. He begins hunting the enemies who have turned the city into their hunting ground.
When paper files from decades ago start changing their own conclusions, and the wounded from past failures appear in overlapping districts, can Su Zhaowei uncover why he is the only one who can return before the city is squeezed into a dead zone by countless failed outcomes?
