Evil often arrives unexpectedly, whether for money, profit, or love. But have you ever heard of someone killing for the sake of immortality? Or frying food in oil rendered from fresh corpses to make it delicious and attract diners?
Some seek eternal life, some want to grow young again, and others dream of ascending to heaven and becoming immortals...
An incorruptible female corpse, a mirror-image murder, an exploding head, a human sculptor...
Behind every case lies a secret too shameful to reveal, each one bizarre and unspeakably brutal. The killers believe that only blood can wash away all sin and only the human body can satisfy every desire, so they do whatever they please to their victims.
An old compass, half a tattered book, and a Taoist temple deep in the mountains.
Drawing on everything he has learned and his formidable fighting skills, the protagonist tangles with evil and exposes one heinous crime after another.
