In the twenty-sixth year of the Republic of China, the rain in Shanghai always carried a fishy smell that could not be washed away.
In a watch shop in the French Concession, more than a hundred antique clocks stopped at the same time at midnight. The watchmaker fell in a pool of blood, his throat was torn into pieces by precision gears, but no trace of intrusion could be found at the scene; in an embroidery workshop in Zhabei, an embroiderer in red turned into a withered skeleton. , The red thread on the fingertips is still wrapped around half of the wedding dress, and it is like a living thing in the absence of wind... Bizarre murder cases are entangled like vines in this city where the old and the new are intertwined. Western electric lights cannot illuminate the shadows in the deep alleys, and the church bells cannot dispel the gloomy atmosphere at the hem of the cheongsam.
Gu Zhiyi took her mysterious space into this fog. Her left eye can see the true form of ghosts, her right eye can trace the trajectory of Yin Qi, and she can crush the remnants of ghosts into space with a single move of her fingertips. This poisonous and arrogant max-level boss originally came here for a soul-sucking ancient jade, but was drawn into an even weirder whirlpool. The bloody clothes at the murder scene and the old objects possessed by resentful spirits revealed the broken truth on the traceability platform in her space, pointing to a sorcerer organization "Yin Luo Hui" that uses human sacrifices to stir up yin and yang.
And the man Mu Chenyuan, who always ran into her late at night, had inexorable madness hidden in his eyes. He can control thousands of wandering souls with his essence and blood, and when he is crazy, he can exorcise ghost soldiers and destroy the concession, but he is paranoid about Gu Zhiyi to the point of being almost pathological - "Can your space hold a ghost, can it hold me?"
Su Manqing, a hypocritical philanthropist, handed out candies wrapped in spiritual spells; Gu Yeshen, a scholar who returned from studying abroad, hid magic in his laboratory to capture supernatural powers; Xiao Juehan, a crazy priest, regarded Gu Zhiyi's space as the best container to complete taboo rituals...
