"Those who contract with ferocious beasts will eventually be devoured by ferocious beasts."
On the night of his death, Ye Xiao signed a contract with a gluttonous ghost and became an "awakened one". But he soon discovered that the ghost in his body was not an ordinary evil spirit, but the remnant soul of the ancient ferocious beast Taotie.
In this seemingly ordinary modern city, weirdness lurks in the shadows. Most people are unable to detect their existence, and only a few "awakened ones" can fight against them. However, the biggest threat does not come from ghosts, but from an organization that calls itself the "Purifier" - the Angel Hall. They hunt down all those who are not awakened by themselves and try to control all strange powers.
In the process of devouring ghosts again and again, Ye Xiao gradually unlocked the true power of Taotie: devouring, plundering, and evolving. But every time he uses his abilities, his "humanity" is eroded by the beast's will.
"Either become a Taotie, or control a Taotie."
As the pursuit of the Angel Hall became more and more frenzied, Ye Xiao realized that he could not fight against this behemoth by himself. He must gather other awakened people who are being hunted to form his own force - the Taotie Alliance.
However, behind the leader of the Angel Hall, there is also a more terrifying truth hidden...
"When the remnant souls of all the ferocious beasts gather together, the world will become a gluttonous feast."
