In Shanghai during the Republic of China, seven bizarre "ghost murder" cases shocked the whole city. Each deceased person held a stopped pocket watch in his hand, and his face was frozen in extreme fear. The patrol house was helpless and rumors spread.
The cold-faced detective Lu Jianchen: The ace of the patrol room in solving crimes, rationality is supreme, and he hates strange powers and chaos.
The chatty Master Yun Buqi: The direct descendant of Longhu Mountain (self-proclaimed), with spells flying around and a professional in cheating his teammates.
When this misfit pair are forced to join forces:
Night watch at the haunted house, uncovering the idiot who pedaled and danced to "Eighteen Touches"
A charlatan in the morgue captures a mutant hamster bent on revenge.
Paramount Phantom brings out the death curse of the "Painted Skin" actor decades ago
Lu Jianchen's rational world collapsed due to Yun Buqi's escape, but was rebuilt under his protection. From mutual dislike to life and death, from "writing resignation" to "not allowed to die".
All clues point to a cult organization called "Eye of Truth". When the conspiracy was finally revealed and the evil god was about to come, Lu Jianchen held Yun Buqi's hand tightly: "If you fall into evil ways, I will go with you."
