The red star streaks across, science collapses, and the gray doom comes.
Chen Xuan, the last descendant of shadow puppetry in the corner of the city, originally thought that the skills passed down from his ancestors were just a trick. Until the mysterious old man sent him a piece of "ancestral spirit skin", he was forced to open his eyes to "see" the real world - dust called "spiritus" floated in the air, and monsters feeding on emotions lurked on the street corners.
When the official organization "Absence Investigation Section" comes to visit, and when the shadow puppets he cuts out can kill demons and eliminate evil spirits, Chen Xuan understands that his peaceful life is over.
However, this is just the beginning. The ancient existence at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean has awakened, and mankind's ultimate weapon has sadly failed. Under the desperate gaze of the whole world, Chen Xuan raised his carving knife in front of the coastline and cut out a thousand-meter shadow puppet stretching across the sky and the earth.
He was as red as blood, and his voice shook the world:
"Ahead of China, evil spirits are forbidden."
However, the day when the shadow puppet kills the god is also the day when the actor turns into a demon. Being watched and eroded, is he the patron saint of human civilization, or another more terrifying... Taboo?
