[Laid-back rise through the ranks + nearly invincible Taoist arts + folk horror mysteries + wild antics + slow burn]
My name is Lin Feng. I'm a wage slave at the Special Investigations Bureau, and I was just about to start living a laid-back life. I had only one goal: quit.
This job is way too cursed! Running into ghosts and evil spirits is an everyday occurrence, and the mental contamination is always over the limit.
This job is downright lethal: ghost encounters are my commute, evil spirits are team-building exercises, and the mental contamination is so bad it could get me admitted to a psychiatric hospital.
But I'd barely written half my resignation letter when an order landed in my lap: I'm the only choice for head of the Operations Division.
My carefree life? Over.
Fine, if I can't avoid it, I'll fight! Afraid to die? Then I'll go crazy first!
A corpse-immortal from Laoshan fakes his death and rises again? I slap a talisman onto his forehead. “Ever heard of lying flat?”
The corpse-driving party in western Hunan goes out of control, and the corpses start dancing? I ring the soul-subduing bell. “Change the music! Morning exercises, get ready!”
The spirit mediums in the Northeast start fighting? I kick open their shrine. “Stop! The winner buys me barbecue skewers, and the loser... buys them too!”
A corpse standing upright in the Yellow River comes to claim my life? I toss out a binding rope. “Come on, try our drowning package for non-swimmers!”
And things get even crazier: a possessed nun in the Vatican does a backflip, a statue of Jesus secretly sheds tears at midnight, a pharaoh from the pyramids takes his mummy army out for a stroll, and a hundred ghosts from Sakura Country block my front door...
I fire off an MAX-level lightning spell: “You're all getting the full daytime fireworks show!”
The bureau's emergency hotline is about to explode. “Boss Lin! Stop! You've scared all the old monsters in the country into holding their breath!”
I gaze at the sky with a cigarette in my mouth, looking world-weary. “It's not like I want this, but the title of ‘Boss of the Supernatural’ welded itself to my head!”
