The Illusion of Apocalypse

When the bronze compass in my pocket starts to burn, I know another major case is about to hit the city of Apocalypse. A hammy detective with a lollipop in his mouth, an end-times fortress where technology and ancient martial arts intertwine, and a turbulent undercurrent behind the Spiritual Qi Revival. My name is Lu Chen. On the surface, I'm the beloved jokester; behind my smile, I'm a calculating man who can see through people's hearts, with a knack for solving supernatural cases using the laws of physics. Act One: The Crisis Mutated beasts roar across the wilderness, while strange shadows of magical formations appear in the city. A missing-person case leads to a cherry blossom brand, and a buried chapter of history conceals a thousand-year conspiracy. We travel between ancient ruins and modern wastelands, facing resurrected shikigami, out-of-control spiritual ley lines, and enemies hiding behind masks. They're not zombies, but data puppets wearing human skin.
