Backlash: The Dark Web's Five Thunders Evil Talisman (1)

Chapter 1: Grandpa's Black Wood Box Zhang Yu is an ordinary engineer grinding away at the New Era Technology Park. His desk is piled high with code architecture diagrams, but in the deepest part of his drawer lies a Five Thunders Bronze Seal passed down from his grandfather.

Just then, his phone vibrated violently. Old Liu sent him a screenshot. To be continued in the next episode……
