The world is divided into the realms of yang and yin. The living dwell in the yang realm, and ghosts in the yin realm. This is the natural order. The yang realm has its own laws, and the yin realm has its own rules. As long as yin and yang remain in balance, neither the living nor the dead may cross the boundary...
There is a line of work practiced mostly by the living, though it brings them into contact with all manner of sinister things: demons and monsters, or evil spirits and ghosts. In China, this line of work is called the yin trade, and those who practice it are known as yin workers, or simply yin people.
You may have heard of people like the Miaojiang gu masters or the corpse drivers of western Hunan. They deal with strange poisonous insects and human corpses, making them one kind of yin worker. But my work in the yin trade is different. I don't deal with gu insects or corpses. I deal with things far more sinister: evil spirits...
My name is Lu Xiaozhao. I'm from Shanzhou in Xihai. By day, I'm an ordinary high school student. By night, I roam this city as a cleaner, clearing away a special kind of presence that most people don't even know exists...
It all began with a suicide attempt by jumping from a building, which I mistook for a prank...
After reading this book for a while, I found that this book is one of the few folk tales about strange spirits and ghosts nowadays. With the elimination of feudal ideas, if ghosts really exist in a scientific society, how does the world work? Why are only a few people aware of the facts? Will these alien things be completely exposed to human beings as time goes by? When I first saw Ghost, I thought it was a weird novel with various copies or strange rules. After reading for a while, I found that it was not the end of the world and there were no weird copies. It was just a story of checks and balances between folk weirdness and Yin people who know all kinds of tricks. The author's writing skills are acceptable, and he pays great attention to various logical details. In terms of writing, he will advance the rhythm first, finish talking about the current events, and then add some clever supplements later. Don't rush to complain when reading the book, because the author will slap you in the face when he explains the details later. And many times when compared with other novels, you feel that the characters here should not have such a reaction. In fact, if you think about it carefully, the author's thoughts and methods are very realistic, not exaggerated, not ruthless, just normal performances. There is no system, no cheating and brainless fun, and there is no talk about the protagonist's halo that reduces his intelligence or protects his teammates. Once it is completed, it will be completed. The facts are unpredictable, and it is quite heart-wrenching to watch.
