Paranormal City: I Slay Demons at Bureau 749

A strange world where technology meets Taoist arts. Not fan fiction. Horror and crime with a realistic touch, plus a little comedy. No dumbed-down characters, a slow build, and an exciting plot. What?! The 749 Bureau merged with the Taoist Academy?! It’s become the Psychic Bureau! And they’ve opened a school, too? What?! You start as an intern and get paid? Pass the probation exam, and you can become a full-fledged National Security Bureau agent, with double the salary?! Whether it’s monsters running wild in the mountains, evil spirits leaping out of tombs, or the supernatural and criminal incidents people whisper about on every street corner, they all fall under the jurisdiction of Psychic Bureau agents. Many supernatural secrets lie hidden in this strange world. Across the land are sealed sites guarded for generations by ancient families. The Ling family of Lingzhu Village is responsible for protecting one crucial seal. Years ago, an unworthy member of the family tried to control an evil force and broke through the seal’s wards. The evil power leaked out, and a mysterious curse took hold of the family. Its members began dying under bizarre circumstances and turning into undead. Zhang Xiaobai’s work brings him to the Ling family, where he is unexpectedly caught up in the crisis. Thus begins an extraordinary journey. Note: This book contains many descriptions of horror and graphic cruelty. Not recommended for sneaking a read at night, unless you want to lose sleep.
