The Deceptive Joker

In the bustling near-future capital city, under the glamorous surface lies an undercurrent of turmoil. There exist 107 special beings known as 'Truths,' who hold the laws, bear original sins, and act as the enforcers of gods on earth. The ultimate enemy lurking in the shadows is the origin of all, the Deceptive Void. Su Yuchen, codename Magician, appears as a slim, renowned top detective but is actually a serial killer who commits murders with artistic flair. He wields the artifact King Joker, controlling powers of deception, illusion, and reincarnation. He stages his own crimes, disguises himself as a victim to infiltrate the police, and sets up intricate puzzles step by step. Criminal police chief Lin Yanci, codename Arbiter, wields a silver flame revolver and holds the power of judgment. He is sharp and suspicious, yet also bears an inescapable original sin. The two test each other, engage in a tug-of-war, cooperate in bizarre cases, and split due to conflicting stances and suspicions. When the 107 Truths gather in the void, the trial begins. No one is born innocent; sin breeds suspicion. Former comrades turn against each other, plunging into a deadly game of mutual destruction. Truths and gods cannot be completely eliminated, and reincarnation repeats endlessly. The void devours reality, the chess game never ends. This grand drama, painted with original sins and staked with authorities, has no final chapter.
