In 2025, a "spiritual tide" swept the world and tore apart the appearance of modern civilization. On the night when the bronze compass in the antiquities market came to life, history student "Lu Jiu Ming" watched helplessly as his roommate was possessed by a green-faced ghost, but a blue rune that swallowed the yin appeared out of thin air in his palm - he became a rare "traveler" in thousands of years, a living door between the world of humans and ghosts.
After being forced to join the Special Affairs Investigation Bureau, Lu Jiuming discovered that a remnant soul of unknown origin slept in his blood, and he had a "Netherworld Record" in his mind that recorded the secret methods of the Yin Division. What's even more frightening is that my sister's mysterious coma three years ago corresponded one-to-one with the ghost pictures in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" on the compass...
And there are always a pair of eyes watching him in the darkness - why does the "Yinxun Censor" who wore a bronze mask a hundred years ago have the same appearance as him?
When the solstice day came, Lu Jiuming stood in front of the crack that connected Yin and Yang, and the compass needle rotated crazily. He wiped the blood stains from the corner of his mouth and chuckled: "It turns out that the so-called ghosts and gods are just poor people who lost the bet."
