Synopsis

When Earth’s boundaries suddenly shattered, countless spatial forbidden zones appeared out of nowhere, and the uncanny flooded into the human world through the cracks. A strange smile in the mirror, a doll that turned by itself in the dead of night, a shadow swaying at the end of a corridor, a human-head tree bearing eerie fruit… The once ordinary world was swallowed by shadows, and supernatural events became nightmares no mortal dared to confront.

In unseen corners, a group known as “Ghost Catchers” silently stood guard. They hid among ordinary people, using secret arts to fight the uncanny crawling out of forbidden zones. With their own flesh and blood, they subdued wandering vengeful spirits, sealed black-and-white coffins in arrays, and carved a path to safety through endless corridors. Nan Yuechen was one of them. From his first bewildered struggles in this world to becoming a top Ghost Catcher who could stand on his own, he forged ahead over the remains of strange creatures, holding to one belief: putting an end to this calamity.

After years of bloody battles, he finally reached the summit, personally purifying the last forbidden zone and wiping out every visible uncanny presence on Earth. When sunlight pierced the gloom once more, the world believed the nightmare was over. Yet at the very moment of victory, Nan Yuechen plunged into an endless abyss. A cruel truth exploded like thunder: the strange creatures he had fought so hard against, the supernatural horrors that had killed countless people, had shown him the truth about the world!!!

“Hahaha! It was all an illusion! It was all fake!” He became the “culprit” who dragged the human world into hell, and anguish and despair nearly tore him apart. But as the shattered clues fell into place, an even more crushing reality came to light…
