(One female lead + no System + childhood sweethearts)
When fresh graduate Lu Xu receives an offer from Deep Blue Group, he thinks it's just an ordinary private company.
That is, until his roommate Xu Yan dissects a human-faced bat on the balcony in the middle of the night, his childhood friend Zhuge Li uses an iPad to calculate the flow of energy through talismans, and a senior colleague claps him on the shoulder after learning that the CEO is his uncle. “Your uncle, Lu Xuan, drove his own younger brother out of the family when he was fighting for power.”
At this point, he has no idea that the gateway between the human and demon worlds is about to collapse.
The stitches in the sweater his mother knitted for him conceal nine hundred purifying talismans.
The greasy writing at the bottom of his father's instant-noodle cup turns out to be a manual of thunder techniques.
The coffee machine in Deep Blue Group's break room has a demon-sealing formation engraved on it, passed down directly from the Three Pure Ones!
In the One Piece manga his uncle sent him, the cultivation notes are denser than the editor's comments: “Nephew, just tell them you're learning Conqueror's Haki.”
When Lu Xu is forced to join the official “Inspectorate,” things get even more ridiculous:
Top-tier star Bai Li's concert is actually a site for purifying evil energy.
The old man at the jianbing stall shows off a demon king tattoo: “Want extra sausage? I'll throw in a Golden Light Spell to ward off evil.”
Even Xu Yan's father, Lu Xu's good buddy, is a senior Inspectorate official, the commander of the “Cleaners.”
“Couldn't you make your thunder technique look a little more elegant?” Zhuge Li kicks Lu Xu aside as he tries to deliver a tragic monologue. The Taiji symbol spins in her left eye. “The drone talisman formation is ready, boosted by the 5G base station. Save the tragic love story until after I've finished fighting!”
