Lin Xi possesses the supernatural ability known as “Nether Sight.” As a special consultant working outside the police force, she specializes in cracking cold cases and bizarre crimes.
Once, while trying to solve the inexplicable “headless corpse case,” she attempted to summon the victim’s spirit. But a surge of dragon qi backfired, and she accidentally summoned a man clad in black robes and crimson skirts, his imposing authority plain in his features.
Looking down at the modern police officers bustling around the scene, he spat out three words: “...Hmph, constables.”
Lin Xi: “...”
When the case reached an impasse, he pointed at the forensic report. “You trust this thing more than a confession?”
Lin Xi tried to explain modern criminal investigations, but he had already seen through the truth. “The culprit is imitating ancient punishments to cow the people. I knew his nature at a glance.”
From then on, Lin Xi’s “Underworld Consultant Team” was officially formed. Detective Di Renjie handled the logical deductions, the God of War Huo Qubing recreated the pursuit routes, and their leader, Ying Zheng, was in charge of... crushing the case from an entirely higher level.
Just as she thought life would be nothing but solving cases and listening to secrets from ages past, a mysterious organization that believed in “using science to exorcise ghosts” marked her consultant team as a “world BUG” that had to be eliminated.
Faced with a high-tech siege, Ying Zheng stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes filled with the same commanding might with which he had conquered the six states.
“While I live, I can suppress the land. Even after I am gone, I can bring peace to the world. This realm is not yours to run wild in.”
I'm halfway through it now, and the subject matter is quite interesting. Come on, author!
The plot is interesting, logical and orderly, and a good book to start reading.
