At three o'clock in the morning, the tearful smile of a woman with a gaping mouth was suddenly discovered in the antique street. The body of a boy in red under the bridge across the river was covered with oracle bones and curses. Two murders in Haizhou City revealed a secret war of civilization that spanned thousands of years.
Cultural relics restorer Shen Mo, who was born with yin and yang eyes, can see the memories sealed in the artifacts, but he is burdened with the mystery of the mass murder of the Forbidden City cultural relics 20 years ago when they were moved south; Lu Jingzhe, a former undercover policeman, has an ancient gluttonous evil pattern parasitic on his right arm. While devouring supernatural beings, he suppresses a terrifying truth that even he himself does not know.
When the cracked girl's fingernails scratched the glass of the police car and the yellow talisman in the boy's stomach wrote their birthdays, they were forced to join forces and step into the abyss of strangeness. The memories of human sacrifices of the Shang Dynasty on the bronze dagger, the unsolved mysteries of the "Jiaxu Year Festival" in the Forbidden City, the top-secret files of Shen Mo in the Ninth Infirmary... Every cultural relic is the key to unlocking the disaster, and every case points to the erased historical truth.
As the shadow of the "first-generation observer" emerged, the two discovered that the so-called urban legend was actually a civilization harvesting plan across dimensions. The bronze cauldrons devoured spark energy, the Taotie pattern went berserk and backfired on the host, and the movable characters of the "Mo Jing" turned into a quantum killing array... From the underground palace of the Forbidden City to the Lishan Star Gate, from the Guixu Secret Realm to the Ziweiyuan Heavenly Court, an inter-dimensional war using Chinese cultural relics as the carrier quietly broke out.
Behind the mystery is the struggle for survival of civilization; the fate of two stars is the only way to survive under the shackles of thousands of years.
Cultural relics speak for themselves, and a spark starts a prairie fire. This is a mystery about the survival of civilization.
