Synopsis

This story is entirely fictional and has nothing to do with the real world. Any resemblance is purely coincidental. At his sixth birthday banquet, evil spirits devoured his entire family in their dreams. Gu Chen, the young heir of a wealthy family, had his memories forcibly erased by men in black. All that remained were fragments of nightmares: a diamond-shaped badge, red-eyed guests who devoured dreams, and a gun that erased memories. Ten years later, he tracks down the city’s supernatural incidents while working as a delivery driver. Scratching sounds from the morgue, faceless figures on the last subway... 117 records of paranormal activity are his bargaining chips. When all the ghosts in the Yellow Springs Estate run wild, he corners the captain of the men in black from back then. “Take me into your organization, or I’ll expose every video you have of the cleanup scenes!” Codename: “Shadow Tracer.” Psychic weapons. But the truth is even more despairing. The higher-ups sneer as they crush his hopes. “Your parents’ dreams became nourishment for the elders long ago!” To bring his family back, he plunges into the abyss: imprisoning homeless people for live experiments, silencing team members by holding their secrets over them, and letting the blood of failed subjects soak the surveillance screens in his secret chamber. Until he personally strangles the white-dressed female spirit who had been protecting a sick child... Her anguished wail pierces his heart. When the spirit of an old woman from the Republican era, driven only by the wish to cover her grandson who died in battle with a cotton coat, is shoved into an extraction device, Gu Chen blows up the laboratory and raises a bloodstained dagger, howling at the world: “Not all spirits are evil, and not all people are good! From this day on, I sentence this abyss to death!”
