Forensic doctor Lin Ji encountered a mutation in the body of a woman in red in the autopsy room. The electronic clock stopped at midnight and a mysterious spell appeared on the body. Lu Shen, a consultant of the Special Affairs Investigation Department, used a compass to track down the abnormal energy and found that Lin Ji was involved in a supernatural incident. The two had their first confrontation in a street shrouded in blood-colored fog.
The gilded charm on the chest of the female corpse hides the tampered Nine Palaces and Bagua array, and the bronze key points to Gu Mingyuan, the Taoist master who disappeared thirty years ago.
Conflict arises between official investigators and civilian defenders due to differences in stance. The female corpse in red suddenly attacks, revealing clues to the mastermind's layout.
The two people who were forced to form a team showed that their special abilities complemented each other in the pursuit. Lin Ji's forensic knowledge cracked the code of the talisman array, and Lu Chen's Taoist skills restrained the evil spirits.
