[Invincible protagonist + suspenseful adventure + period setting + no romance]
After transmigrating to the 1980s, Zhang Beichen discovers that he has become an oddball hated by everyone and everything at a logging camp in Northeast China.
It all comes down to the dangerous blood in his veins: his blood can suppress and destroy every kind of evil spirit!
A black-fierce corpse undergoes a transformation? One palm strike marked with his blood, and it’s reduced to ashes!
A thousand-year-old curse? A few drops of blood break it, leaving ghosts wailing!
Foreign sorcerers attack with an army of corpse-controlling gu? Heh. Let’s see them deal with blood like sulfuric acid!
He wants to keep his secret hidden and scrape by, but then he runs into Chen Xingye, a bookworm who takes everything literally.
“Comrade, according to page 372 of the local gazetteer, your condition is very likely evidence of an ancient tomb guardian bloodline! We have to team up and go do archaeology... I mean, conduct a protected excavation!”
From then on, everything goes completely off the rails.
Others raid tombs with black donkey hooves. Zhang Beichen simply rolls up his sleeves. “Out of the way, I’m going to bleed!”
Others use clever tricks to solve mechanisms. Chen Xingye pushes up his glasses. “Based on the stars and fluid dynamics, Beichen, you need to smear your blood here!”
When footsteps sound again in a tomb that has been silent for a thousand years, they bring not plunder, but ultimate purification.
Zhang Beichen gazes at the tide of evil spirits before him and licks his pale lips. “Today, you can have your fill.”
This is an incredibly satisfying tale of a lone wolf and a bookworm joining forces to steamroll everything that dares defy them in the 1980s, using the hardest of hard-core methods: physics and magic!
