The supernatural has returned, and ghosts run rampant.
While the whole world studies the ghosts’ “rules for killing,” trying to scrape by in the cracks, Zhang Fa, who has just awakened the wisdom of his past life, thinks they’re all pitiful.
Agents from the Paranormal Bureau toss coins, test shadows, and risk their lives through trial and error inside haunted domains. At last, he can’t stand watching them anymore.
“You can’t handle a case like this. It’s against the rules.”
Under the horrified gazes of everyone present, he walks straight toward the dressing mirror that means certain death.
He doesn’t try to break the rules. Instead, he coldly pronounces judgment on the red-clad female ghost in the mirror:
“Lingering in the mortal realm and disturbing the living: one count!”
“Harboring malice and plotting murder: another count!”
“Both counts shall be punished together. Under the Statutes of the Underworld, you are hereby sentenced to death by beating!”
The verdict delivered, his ghost-beating whip comes down, shattering the mirror and the ghost together.
From that day on, the supernatural world changes completely.
When an S-rank Ghost King marches on the city and the Paranormal Bureau prepares to sacrifice its entire population to sue for peace, Zhang Fa ventures alone into the ranks of ten thousand ghosts.
“Making an alliance with convicts of the Underworld makes you accomplices!”
“Will you take your own lives, or shall I, this official, do it myself?”
