Spirit Pact Awakening: I Survive by Making Contracts with Ghosts!

After a long series of surgeries, modern-day doctor Chen Yan faints. When he wakes up, he's in a horror novel.

The original occupant died at the hands of a ghost on his first night at work. Chen Yan's soul enters the corpse, and when he opens his eyes, he sees a "person" in a hospital bed devouring a live mouse.

The hospital is steeped in darkness. Thirty years ago, the earth's ley lines shifted and spiritual qi revival began. Ghosts devour people, and humanity has become a flock of lambs for the slaughter.

By chance, he gains a golden finger and awakens the Spirit Pact Eye, which lets him see the pact marks on lingering souls and make a pact with the dead for three seconds.

For those three seconds, he can borrow the dead's power to fight, read their memories, and master secret arts. Life and death hang in the balance in an instant.

While others fall to their knees and beg for mercy when they encounter ghosts, he pushes up his glasses and sneers: "That doesn't conform to the principles of anatomy."

He uses medicine to uncover the source of resentment, covers tactical counterattacks with sharp-tongued banter, smashes ghosts over the head with his stethoscope, and cuts down evil spirits with his scalpel.

While everyone else struggles to survive, he has already carved out a path through the bloodshed with his pacts, becoming a nightwalker.

In the end, he exposes the conspiracy: humanity was meant to be the gatekeeper, not the sacrifice!
