Decades ago, my grandfather, whom countless people, great and small, respectfully called Second Master, retired from the underworld and settled down at home to watch over my childhood.
The day I received my college acceptance letter, my grandfather passed away.
A spirit snake blazed the trail, and a purple star streaked across the night sky. From that day on, nothing was normal.
I was tricked and talked into joining a mysterious agency codenamed 996. Only then did I learn that there was more to my grandfather’s death than met the eye.
To unmask the mastermind, I walk along the edge of a knife. The dead rise, people transmigrate across a thousand years, and immortality proves real... One bizarre incident after another leaves me numb.
My grandfather’s past was far more complicated than I had imagined. His plans, measured in centuries, make me feel an indescribable fear of the grandfather I thought I knew...
What exactly did my grandfather go through? What is the origin of the Twin Fish Jade Pendant from a thousand years ago? Can people really live forever?
Okay, okay, hahaha, not bad, not bad
