Tracing the Source of Strange Tales

[Eerie] [No System] [The protagonist suffers] [Underworld enforcer] [No golden finger] After encountering strange events in the big city, he chose to go home. In the cold fog along the highway at midnight, he encountered Xiaoxiao, a female ghost, and Xue Tianjiao, who had already died in his memories. His death from the start turned him into a living corpse. His body became a vessel for the strange: Xue Tianjiao's soul coexisted with him, while the ghostly Mei lurked deep in his consciousness, occasionally offering cryptic advice, with inscrutable schemes hidden in its eyes. A power even he could not understand slumbered inside him. It would always break through its shackles at the edge of life and death, bringing scorching heat and the danger of destroying everything. He became the most conspicuous member of the underworld enforcers. The fiery Feiying was the best captain among the enforcers. Cao Mang, covered in scars, was a fellow living corpse, his silent eyes hiding a struggle much like his own. The righteous yet wicked Ghost King Zhang Ji always regarded him with curiosity... From little ghosts causing trouble among neighbors to atrocities in which evil cultivators refined spirits using the living, Bai Xin stumbled his way to maturity through blood and fire. As Mei's whispers gradually pieced together the outline of his previous life, Bai Xin finally understood: what people called fate was never a path decreed by heaven. What he had to fight was never just ghosts and evil spirits, but also the invisible hand that had manipulated events for a thousand years. And Xue Tianjiao was never the dying ember of a departed soul. She was the one and only spark that would help him cut through the fog of fate. This is the journey of an ordinary man fighting a thousand-year-old destiny. As the ordinary collides with the extraordinary, and human nature entangles with the nature of ghosts, Bai Xin will at last grip the magical vessel in his hand and carve out a path to survival for himself between the mortal realm and the lower realm.
