In the future city, neon is like blood.
Human beings upload their souls to the cloud, called "ascension", in order to achieve digital immortality.
But they don't know that behind the servers in paradise is a soul-devouring data hell, the silent wailing of countless "electronic ghosts" in the code abyss.
My name is Li Xuan, and I am the last "Cyber Taoist" in this city.
I run an antique shop that only opens at midnight. I don't sell future technology, but I only accept the oldest commission-soul hunting.
Clients come to the door with "soul boxes" filled with the deceased's data. I use cinnabar, edicts and peach wood swords to drag their lost relatives back to the world from the cold server.
However, when the "souls" I fished out became more and more weird, I discovered that a "digital god" who feeds on the souls of all mankind is awakening.
And I am the only hope to stop it.
Remember, in this city, when your code doesn't solve a problem… try the occult.
