Under the surface of a modern law-governed city, the supernatural has never really dissipated.
In the old town of Linjiang City, an old man living alone died mysteriously, and the forensic expert identified it as sudden cardiac death. The scene was bone-chillingly cold, and the walls were covered with strange scratches. The deceased was holding half a burnt paper figure with the word "compensation" written on it tightly in his palm.
Lin Yan, the auxiliary police officer of the police station's trace inspection, touched the old watch left by the deceased, triggering the unique trace re-engraving ability, and saw the complete story of the deceased's murder. Therefore, he was recruited by the Abnormalities Investigation Bureau into the seventh field team.
There are injustices, regrets and man-made magic hidden behind each supernatural phenomenon.
The revenge of the paper shop, the mass murder case in the abandoned factory, the harmful and deformed folk customs, and the undercurrent of the black market for ghosts are coming one after another.
Violent suppression can only buy short-term peace, and forcible sealing only creates hidden dangers for recovery.
If you want to completely end the evil, you can only rely on trace reasoning, craftsman's infernometry, and the cooperation of the whole team to complete a complete closed loop of cause and effect, restore the truth, and eliminate obsessions. This is the real way back for the dead.
And every time he used his powers to trace his origins, Lin Yan had to bear the irreversible price of spiritual backlash.
