I am Ye Wan, the female head catcher of the Divine Catcher Division. When we were working on the serial mystery case two years ago, the co-worker Lu Mingyuan and I became partners.
We all have a strange mark on our bodies, called the "Ghost Mark of the Netherworld", which allows us to see the scene of the deceased before death. At first, I thought it was a treasure and solved many unsolved cases, but later I found out that this thing was a pawn in the world-destroying plan of the thousand-year evil Xuanming Sect.
Looking back now, every mystery is a fragment of their conspiracy, and every clue points to an old case from twenty years ago: when the whole family of the Divine Catcher was massacred, it was not an accident at all.
We appear to be investigators, but in reality we are sacrificial lambs. When we use ghost marks to solve crimes, they absorb the resentment of the deceased and burrow into our bodies; the deeper we search, the closer we are to hell.
On the day of the final ceremony, all the truth will be revealed - our origins, the purpose of Xuanming Sect, and the blood debt of the past twenty years. At that time, you will either be swallowed up by the curse, or you will fight to the death.
Let's take a look!

When I wrote it, I wanted to catch a "hateful plot" - using the "ghost mark" that can see through the souls of the dead as a knife, but it turns out that the knife is a death talisman for a cult. The deeper the two protagonists investigate the case, the more they discover that they are "living pawns" tied to twenty years of murder.
What I want to write is not just a cool article about solving crimes, but a story about people who are dragged away by a curse but still struggle: they use evil magic to investigate the case, and the evil magic is also eating them; if they want to save the world, the price may be to become the person they hate the most.
The core sentence is: Destiny is a net, but people have to flop twice in the net.
