This work was published under the titles Criminal Psychology and ID, written by James Meribook, and caused a stir among netizens—it is a rare original mystery work. The western city of Portland in the United States is plunged into panic—murders are happening one after another. Every victim has their face peeled off, their bodies marked with nails, coins, and other “signs,” and a line of blood letters beside them reads: “The Mask is Coming Back!” Is it a code, or a prophecy? The police are baffled, and the case remains shrouded in mystery.
Prank-like blood letters appear on the streets, and a woman claiming to have killed someone but unable to locate the body or weapon comes to the police station. Meanwhile, her boyfriend is murdered on the other side of the city. The veteran police officer Samran invites the mysterious Chinese psychologist Dr. Sess Waller to help analyze the case. Dr. Waller, with his keen intuition for human psychology and behavior, conducts a meticulous investigation, unraveling the case piece by piece. Just as the two join forces, the Mask Killer updates the “rules of the game.” The situation is urgent—unveiling the soul of the Mask Killer is crucial, and they must save more lives before the killer strikes again.
