The Assistant with Yin-Yang Eyes: A Record of Urban Paranormal Encounters

For three years as Chen Mo’s assistant, I took knives for him, took the blame for him, and even risked my life to obtain the magical tools we needed at paranormal crime scenes. My coworkers laughed at me. “No golden finger, no powerful backing. You’re doomed to be cannon fodder your whole life.” Then the day came when the city’s most vicious “Red Dress Curse” struck. Even he said, “We’d better get ready to collect the bodies for this one.” I shoved the door open. “Bodies? What bodies? Move aside. I’m solving this case.” I cleared the scene in three minutes, identified the culprit in five, and cornered a century-old mass of resentment in ten. Later, they went crazy digging into my past. I left them with just one sentence: “Sorry, but the useless assistant you’ve been talking about is the real ghost keeper.” This novel and its characters are entirely fictional.
