SHOW PLOT SYNOPSIS:
It is a quiet and lonely night at the beach. The gentle splashing of the waves creates a sense of serenity. From afar, the sound of a motor generator being started can be heard. On board a speed boat, the back of a man is seen trying to start the engine, but it splutters and refuses to start.
The man turns around to face a huge black plastic bag. The bag seems to contain a motionless body. The man then gets off the speed boat and walks along the beach. He is getting some tools to fix the engine.
The black bag moves. Suddenly, it reveals the sharp edge of a shard. The bag is slashed open and a girl emerges from it, gasping for breath and looking terrified.
The girl undergoes a medical examination. It confirms that she has suffered sexual and physical abuse. Investigating Officer Zhou Jianfeng comes on the scene and meets Qiu Xueqing, a psychologist. Using hypnosis, Xueqing leads the girl to relive her experience that elicits an important clue. The perpetrator is suspected to be Di Shen, a suspense writer.
Jianfeng uncovers clues that implicate Di Shen in the case. Di Shen also realises that the suspect enacted the plot of his novel which raises the possibility that he is a fan of his work. To prove his innocence and satisfy his curiosity, Di Shen gets involved in the investigation to identify the suspect.
The girl is silenced by the suspect. Xueqing is the only person who has seen him. Xueqing reproaches herself for not doing enough to protect the victim. While working together with Di Shen in the case, she is kidnapped and imprisoned...

Acclaimed crime novelist Di Shen makes it his mission to expose the evil in humans, as he believes all humans are born depraved. Di Shen is doing a television interview when Agnes manages to escape after being held captive and tortured. As police officers Zhou Jianfeng and Guo Jingcheng fail to get anything out of Agnes, they ask a psychiatrist, Qiu Xueqing, to put Agnes under hypnosis.
Agnes reveals the assailant is the strong boxer type and was holding a copy of Di Shen’s novel. She had become acquainted with the assailant online. Jianfeng turns up at Di Shen’s booking-signing event and asks him to assist the police, who believe the assailant was mimicking the culprit in one of Di Shen’s novels.

Xueqing is locked up in a secret chamber. Di Shen suspects Yang Zhenye, a shareholder of the gym, and asks Jianfeng to investigate. He fails to find Xueqing and deduces she was taken away by force. Xueqing’s uncle, Gangyi, who used to be a police officer, reports her disappearance and asks Jianfeng to work urgently on the case, which he suspects is related to Agnes’. Xueqing learns Zhenye became emotionally unbalanced after he and his girlfriend were kidnapped.
His girlfriend was tortured to death because his father failed to pay the ransom. She tries in vain to escape. Di Shen suspects Zhenye locks his victims in his house. He tries to find out more from Zhenye but to no avail. Di Shen sneaks into Zhenye’s house, but runs off when the latter returns. Zhenye senses something amiss. He knocks Xueqing out with sedatives and puts all the evidence in a bag, planning to throw everything into the sea.

Zhenye’s lawyer, Zhang Jingxuan, posts bail for him and Zhenye is released. Di Shen tells Jianfeng he had pretended to lose control, in an effort to trick Zhenye into revealing the truth. He had borrowed the bracelet from Gangyi. Xueqing hallucinates about her father, who urges her not to die so that she can clear his name. Di Shen deduces that Zhenye may be holding Xueqing in the place where he and his girlfriend were held captive.
As Jianfeng cannot be found, Di Shen asks Gangyi for help, and finds out the factory has been bought by Zhenye. Zhenye shakes Jianfeng off and goes to the factory. Xueqing realises Zhenye is torturing himself, as it was he who killed his girlfriend. Di Shen and Gangyi arrive in time to save Xueqing, but Zhenye manages to escape. Jingxuan goes to the motel where Zhenye is hiding and tells him that his father has arranged for him to leave the country, as he feels bad that he had indirectly caused the death of his girlfriend.

Smoke emanates from under a chair during the book signing. Di Shen takes Di Yao to look for Xueqing. She feels someone pushing her along and, just in time, Di Shen pulls her back and takes her away. The smoke is from a tear gas bomb. Di Shen and Xueqing are asked to testify as eye-witnesses. Jianfeng is suspicious of Di Shen, who seems to get into trouble all the time. Di Yao visits Zebang, whom she has counseled in the past.
She notes happily that he is gradually adapting to his work environment. Jianfeng, Di Shen and Xueqing turn up at the book signing and use their own devices to deduce the culprit’s background and traits.

Another tear gas bomb is released in a lecture hall. The bomb was put under the chair of a student named Judith. Di Shen deduces that Zebang’s target may not have been Judith, as in one of his stories, the bomber prefers to make his target’s kin and friends suffer. Xueqing is surprised that Di Shen’s novels are involved again.
At a hospital, Zebang traps intern Nicolas Goh in his car, which has been fitted with a bomb. Di Shen and Xueqing learn Judith’s father, Chen Baisheng, is eager to take her overseas. Baisheng is a doctor and Nicolas is one of his interns. Xueqing concludes that Zebang’s target is Baisheng.

Xueqing urges Zebang to let her tend to Xiaojing. Di Shen agrees to be his hostage instead. However, the police refuse to give in to threats and prevent Xiaojing from undergoing surgery. At the crucial moment, Di Shen subdues Zebang. Di Shen suspects that like in his novel, Zebang will not let Baisheng off so easily and could have placed another bomb somewhere else.
He asks Xueqing to get the hospital to prepare for Xiaojing’s surgery, so that they can make Zebang reveal the location of the bomb. Jianfeng questions Zebang, but he will only talk to Di Shen. Jianfeng finds another fake bomb and suspects Di Shen is helping Zebang. Hoping to negoatiate for a lighter sentence, Di Yao introduces her lawyer friend, Zhang Jingxuan, to Zebang.

With Xueqing’s guidance, Tianrui reveals how he had committed his first crime. His victim was Jingxuan. He loses control under hypnosis and nearly injures Xueqing. Jianfeng and Gangyi arrive in time to save her. Tianrui denies killing Anni. In his defence, Xueqing argues with Jianfeng; she believes Tianrui would not kill. Di Shen holds a talk at the university, where he meets Jingxuan.
She is grateful to him for helping her start life anew. He suspects she is acquainted with Di Yao because of him. Di Shen is unhappy his mother’s murderer is still at large. He takes Xueqing to his old house, in the hope that she will find some clues. Xueqing senses that the murderer had harboured grievances against his mother, which means either the murderer knew his victim or Di Shen has misled her.

An unknown person uploads a video online and claims to be a dark knight who upholds justice. He asks the public to vote within the next 12 hours on whether Tianrui deserves the death sentence. Zena reveals that Tianrui had taken her away with the intention of killing her. Xueqing finds her testimony strange. Di Shen and Jingxuan suspect each other of being the unknown person.
Jingcheng realises the case is, yet again, similar to one of Di Shen’s novels. He refuses to ask Di Shen for help. Xueqing approaches Di Shen and is unhappy when he turns down her request for help. Di Yao agrees with Xueqing that even the most evil person deserves a chance to mend his ways. Di Shen wants Xueqing to prove Tianrui is innocent before he will help save him.

Xueqing joins Gangyi in investigating the death of an undergraduate named Li Aiqin. She garners help from Di Shen. At the hostel, Xueqing is reminded of the death of her father, Gangzheng. She is deep in thought when a suspicious-looking man runs past and disappears. As Aiqin was harassed before her death, Gangyi questions the hostel cleaner, Luo Jinzhu.
He happens to have been one of the witnesses in Gangzheng’s case. Xueqing remembers the suspicious-looking runaway man as being Gangzheng’s student; Gangzheng had praised him in front of her. Xueqing tells Di Shen that seven years ago, Gangzheng was involved in the death of Chen Lina, a student.
Rumour had it that they were having an affair, and Jinzhu had claimed she saw Gangzheng walking towards the hostel that day. Someone also uploaded a video clip of Gangzheng walking towards the hostel. Before Xueqing could get to the bottom of the matter, Gangzheng killed himself.

Di Shen is upset when he remembers how he had interfered in Gangzheng’s case. Di Shen takes Xueqing to see Lina’s father. They learn Lina was mentally unstable and had created evidence of her non-existent relationship with Gangzheng. They deduce Gangzheng probably knew but did not want to hurt Lina.
Gangyi goes through the closed-circuit camera recordings and observes that Aiqin was with a middle-aged woman when she was last spotted. The woman’s back seems familiar. Liqi notices Jinzhu falling to the floor after injuring her leg and offers to see her home. Jinzhu asks her to stay for dinner and lets her chat with Baoqiang, her retarded son. After Liqi eats the food, she passes out.

Di Shen is about to tell Xueqing his past when he learns Di Yao has been injured. He blames Jianfeng. Jianfeng warns Xueqing against Di Shen. Di Shen regrets bringing harm upon a good man like Gangzheng. Though he had helped to nab the culprit, he still feels guilty. Xueqing calls Di Shen and tells him how she had visualised killing Jinzhu when the truth came to light. He is distracted, as he intends to break up with her.
Gangyi reveals the details of a case of hammer-wielding hacker from seven years before. The suspect, Chen Zhifeng, went on a rampage after being retrenched.

Jingcheng locks Zhifeng in an empty house. Zhifeng admits he had gone on a rampage to lure the two persons who had attacked him out into the open.

Jingcheng points his gun at Zhifeng. Di Shen intervenes, suggesting Shadow Walker’s way instead to make Zhifeng disappear. Zhifeng agrees. Xueqing uses hypnosis to make Di Yao realise it was she who witnessed her mother’s murder. Di Shen worries, and insists that what Di Yao saw cannot be real, as she was not at the crime scene.
Xueqing recognises that he is keeping something from Di Yao. Di Shen admits to Xueqing that Di Yao is the one who witnessed their mother’s murder. She was badly traumatised, so Di Shen hopes she will never remember it. Warning that the lost memories will just be suppressed and never disappear, she urges Di Shen to tell her the truth.
Di Yao accepts the truth, but changes in her personality surface. Jingcheng is hoping to use Shadow Walker’s method on Zhifeng. Di Shen asks Xueqing to keep Di Yao company at home. Jingcheng accidentally kills Zhifeng when he discovers Jianfeng tailing them. He knocks Jianfeng out and flees. Di Shen arrives to find Zhifeng dead and Jianfeng unconscious.

Unable to accept that she killed someone, Di Yao loses her memories of the incident. Xueqing tries to help her, but she chooses to avoid the issue. Gangyi, Di Shen and Xueqing start investigating a series of forest murders. It has been a month since a woman was killed by an arrow and made to kneel below a tree with the word “wanton” written on the trunk.
She was having an affair with her superior, Lin Guoliang. Xueqing zeroes in on the murderer’s motive and is disturbed by what she observes. Investigations at the archery club turn up nothing. Di Yao learns about a hit-and-run case on the news and has vague memories of being involved in that accident. She gets even more confused when a man named Jacob calls and tells her not to worry about it.

Keji’s father, Junlong, appears. His intention is to harm Xueqing, but Keji takes her away in the nick of time. Xueqing remembers how Keji had broken his leg when he attempted suicide with a group of people who had the idea that the world was about to end. Keji fell in love with her when she showed concern for him. Junlong reminds Keji of his responsibility, which makes him feel downcast.
A second person is killed by an arrow and made to kneel under a tree with the words “unfilial” on the trunk. The deceased had fought over the inheritance with his father, who had a heart attack and died while in court. Consoling Jianfeng, Gangyi asserts that Jingcheng may not be Shadow Walker, as Shadow Walker seldom makes so many mistakes.

Di Yao is diagnosed with schizophrenia, but Di Shen does not want his sister to seek treatment in a mental hospital. Junlong discovers Gangyi tailing Keji. Keji stops him from attacking Gangyi. Gangyi admits he did Junlong wrong in the past and hopes Keji will not follow in his father’s footsteps.
Di Yao worries when the police question her on Jacob’s assault, as she has no recollection of what she did. Jingxuan, who is Jacob’s lawyer, asserts that Jacob will lift all charges if Di Yao apologises. Di Shen refuses to let Di Yao give in. Gangyi finds out the deceased was part of a suicide squad in the past. Keji had attempted suicide with Wang Qi and Ivy. Gangyi and Xueqing are certain someone is controlling Keji’s actions.

Di Shen is shocked to find Jacob’s body. When Xueqing appears, he claims someone had sent him a message to go there to see Jacob. Realising he is being set up by Shadow Walker for the murder, he stops her from calling the police. However, she insists on letting the police handle the matter. Jianfeng does not believe Di Shen’s story. He concludes Di Shen had used an air rifle to teach Jacob a lesson to avenge Di Yao.
Xueqing is upset to learn that on the night Jacob disappeared, Di Shen was with Jingxuan. Dingkang is worried the police will find out about the case seven years ago, but Jingxuan insists on being Di Shen’s witness. Xueqing sees a photograph of Di Yao and Lina in Di Shen’s house and suspects he is connected to her father’s death. Jianfeng checks out Keji’s house and discovers the latter has a new target.

Keji lies to Gangyi that someone is after his life. Gangyi rushes into the woods and is shocked to find Youren’s body on a tree. He is horrified when Keji admits he killed Youren. He claims his father made him do it, so as to prevent the end of the world from coming about. Gangyi replies that Junlong is already dead and that Keji was hallucinating.
He urges Keji to surrender himself to the police. Keji stabs him and denounces him. Gangyi finally sees Keji’s true colours, but it is too late. Xueqing breaks up with Di Shen.
