Chen Mo, a former criminal investigator with the major crimes unit, was declared “dead” after a bizarre car accident. Forced to sign away his freedom to the Underworld, he became a yin-yang worker with a topsy-turvy schedule: investigating murders in the living world by day and hunting evil spirits in the underworld by night. With a police badge in one hand and a soul-catching flashlight in the other, he makes money and builds a career in the cracks between the worlds of the living and the dead!
The Underworld’s order is collapsing, ghost money is circulating abnormally, and ancient demons are stirring. With Bai Qi, a forensic examiner who can communicate with ghosts and gods; Lin Xiaotou, the richest man’s son, disguised as a police officer; and his talkative superiors, the Black and White Impermanence, Chen Mo tackles case after bizarre case. From a murderous infant spirit in an abandoned hospital to the mystery of a haunted mine on the China-Myanmar border; from yang-energy leaks caused by paranormal livestreams to power struggles among the Five Ghost Emperors, he solves strange cases, battles demons, and fights ghost emperors. As he makes a fortune, he also uncovers the ultimate secret behind the tampering of the worlds of the living and the dead!
“I don’t want to work another day at this lousy job!”
But to buy a house in the living world and upgrade the Underworld’s gear, Chen Mo decides: first, he’ll punch a hole in the sky over both worlds, and worry about the rest later!
