The Silent Executioner

Inspired by a Tang Dynasty injustice, this cyber thriller follows Quan Xiancheng, an upright chief engineer of a smart city's water and power grid. When he refuses to pay a Bitcoin ransom to the shadowy hacker collective "Censorate," they frame him for treason. While he awaits trial, anonymous executioners weaponize the city's infrastructure—turning electricity and water into untraceable murder tools. Behind the screen, anonymity gives malice its deadliest courage, and anyone can become an executioner.
