As he and the team track killers who stage death like a grotesque canvas, they uncover a cryptic symbol carved into each victim. Beneath this symbol lies a pattern older than the crimes themselves, a pattern that leads back to a single horrifying night: a massacre buried thirty years ago, wiped from every official record. A massacre that took the lives of Li Shen's parents.As Li Shen and his team dig deeper, they uncover a conspiracy guarded by Minzhou's most prominent citizens, people who built their empires on that night's silence and will kill anyone who threatens to expose it.
