Melissa Feng, at 25 years old, had already read "The Retired Zacharias Sanchez" and "T'zu Hsi". I thought she deserved to live an adventure equivalent to Noa de Haro or Isabel Steller.

She wasn't. She was a young Hong Kong uniformed policewoman who had seen very little action in her career. Nothing important. Traffic tickets. Dealing with the occasional drunk and the occasional misguided tourist.

He was patrolling on his moped and received a request to go take notes at Kowlong Hospital for a confusing incident recorded by the security cameras in one of the wards.

The entire police force was overwhelmed by other events; and it was up to her to take notes, videos and then some superior would hand them over to the corresponding department.

She accepted the order and went to the hospital.

After a while, together with the security supervisor, she saw the first video.
