One-line synopsis:
“Hungry Ghost girl + sharp-tongued sword spirit + rookie detective = a fantasy version of Detective Conan that specializes in putting all kinds of troublemakers in their place!”
Story synopsis:
Lu Xuanxiao is the cultivation world's most good-for-nothing detective. He takes over the shabby detective agency his father left behind, handling petty cases like “cultivators gone missing” and “spiritual artifacts stolen.” Then one day, he takes in a girl named Jiang Baobao who claims to be a “starving ghost.” The girl chews on anything she sees, and even dares to eat his life-bound sword, Laotie, with dipping sauce!
But when cultivators start vanishing in Qingyun City in “dimensional ascension disappearance cases,” when Jiang Baobao's stomach begins unconsciously devouring the laws of Heaven's Way, and when cracks in Laotie's blade reveal mechanical patterns that don't belong to this world... Lu Xuanxiao finally discovers:
The detective agency his father left behind is actually a disguised monitoring station for a higher-dimensional world!
Every trivial case he's taken was a “survival training exercise” arranged by his father!
And Jiang Baobao is the only “living key” to awaken in the Hungry Ghost Realm in tens of millions of years!
This work takes the "Hungry Ghost Detective Agency" as its core setting and cleverly combines "solving crimes" with "high-dimensional invasion" to create a fantasy world that is both absurd and logically consistent. The author uses "candied haws of sticks" to string together the entire conspiracy, uses "dimensionality reduction cooking" to deconstruct cultivation civilization, and even hides "clues to solve the case" in the teeth of the characters - this kind of writing method that combines suspenseful reasoning and nonsensical ideas to the extreme can be called the "fantasy version of "The Little Master of China"" in the Internet literature world. These settings may seem absurd, but they allude to the nature of power and devouring. When Lu Xuanxiao discovered that the people in the city had been reduced to "food ingredients", his creepy sense of humor was comparable to the "Black Mirror" version of "A Bite of China". A "poisonous" fantasy masterpiece.
