In a futuristic city where technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, the “Heart Source” brain-computer system and bionic people have become part of everyday life. But a series of bizarre murders that defy scientific explanation drags Ling Hao, a former disciple of spirit mediums who believes in technological rationalism, and Su Jin, an heir to Maoshan’s traditional Taoist arts, into a deadly game of survival.

This is an ultimate showdown that spans the realms of yin and yang and connects ancient times with the present. The sinister truth hidden beneath the flood of data awaits its final revelation…
