Ghost Hunting in the Mirror Abyss: Catch One Mole Every Seventeen Counts

Pei Zhenge, a border defense operative missing for seven years, returned home in glory, sending the whole nation into a frenzy. Only Su Jianwei, a marginal analyst at the Jingyuan Bureau, concluded that the hero's blade had been ground the wrong way.

No one believed a "crazy woman" who lived on pills. Her empathy overload let her catch a pupil constricting for 0.3 seconds and a seventeen-character finger signal, but it was no match for the higher-ups' legal laundering of ill-gotten gains and electroshock therapy to silence her. When the Chen Zhou Building was reduced to rubble and the layers of moles were exposed, she personally let the prime suspect escape into the rainy night.

Only after she bore the charge of treason and went undercover in enemy territory did she discover that, from the first letter from Jin City, she had been a pawn in the Heavenly Artifice Project. Since the board was already tainted, she and the returned blade became each other's fallback, and tore the schemer's plans up by the roots!
