Lin Shuo is a Chinese demon hunter in the wilderness of northern Myanmar. He bears the bloodline of a mystic leopard and carries the ancestral compass, the Reincarnation Mirror.
He can identify demons by watching their shadows, read evil omens, and track their whereabouts, moving between the worlds of humans and demons.
A bloody case involving severed ears draws him into a mysterious evil formation, and clues to his missing sister turn out to be connected to the Demon King’s resurrection.
The Snakevine Gang lays out a formation of ten thousand demons. Yin energy gathers in casinos, corpses are refined in mine shafts, and one sinister feng shui scheme after another erupts.
He plays the pig to eat the tiger, committing defiant acts in the name of a folk sorcerer. He fiercely protects those close to him and delivers face-slapping after face-slapping to countless hypocrites.
Using “Shadow Peeping” to dispel illusions and the “Reincarnation Mirror” to uncover the truth, he turns the tables at every step and brings the mastermind down.
In the final battle, he sacrifices his golden finger, reverses the forces of yin and yang, seals the Demon King, and rescues his loved ones.
The mist lifts from the Mekong River, and humans and demons return to a fragile balance. But a new shadow is already stirring in the dark.
