In the hidden side of a modern city where demons lurk and ghosts roam, Ling Tian is a delivery rider who takes the road less traveled. While others stay far away from haunted houses and mass graves, he charges right in with his ancestral peachwood sword slung over his shoulder, all for the sky-high delivery fees of thousands, even tens of thousands, offered by “Supernatural Express.”
One late-night “blood jade order” leads him into a deadly scheme beneath a century-old locust tree, where he encounters Liu Yan'er, a mysterious female ghost being hunted by a soul-devouring specter. From then on, Ling Tian's life is turned upside down. A data wraith awakens in an abandoned factory. The “Netherworld Logistics” special operations team is well-equipped and ruthless. And behind them lies a shocking conspiracy to use a thousand-year-old tree spirit as a “nursery bed” to manufacture terrifying “resentment data cores.” Ling Tian dances on the edge of a blade, contending with all manner of demons, ghosts, and mysterious organizations.
Entrusted by the female ghost with a “Spirit Locust Seed,” and protected at the cost of his life by the mysterious old man “Old Limp” and his “Blood Fiend Order,” Ling Tian struggles to survive in a desperate landscape of blood and fire. One is a vicious order that devours filth and resentment; the other, a Spirit Locust Seed containing boundless vitality. Two forces of opposing origins coexist within him in a bizarre balance. He must not only fight the corruption and backlash stirring within his body, but also shoulder the burden of blood vengeance and tear open the dark web woven by “Netherworld Logistics” and the tech giant “Spirit Technology Group.”
From a delivery boy who takes orders for the money to an avenger who commands life and death and stirs up the hidden world of the city, every step Ling Tian takes is over thorns and corpses.
