“You’re a once-in-a-century medium with the ability to see ghosts, but you’ve become the top-priority charge of a cold-faced forensic professor. He uses quantum mechanics to analyze your psychic visions, while you use folk rituals to solve his autopsy riddles. As a terrifying fog of genetic engineering descends over the university district, he hands you the final page of an autopsy report. It reads: My idealism is you.”
In the forensic lab late at night, the only light came from the cold glow of the surgical lamp above the autopsy table.
Lu Shiyan (pushing up his gold-rimmed glasses, his fingertips tracing the strange patterns on the corpse’s neck): “According to the quantum-state collapse model of residual skin particles, the killer can move through discontinuous spacetime.”
Lin Xiaoya (her left eye glowing pale blue as she clutches a piece of glutinous rice cake): “But in folklore, we call this a ‘ghost mark.’ Only a thousand-year-old evil spirit, its resentment condensed into mist, could leave one behind... Hey, did your instrument detect its ‘fear’ scent?”
Lu Shiyan (handing her a report without changing expression): “It did. Also, there’s cake powder on your eyelashes. That’s the only sweet particle I’ve discovered so far.”
Lin Xiaoya (blushing instantly): “...Professor Lu, could you study romance with the same rigor you use to study corpses?”
“When science tears open a rift in mythology, I see the light of a galaxy being born in your eyes.”, The final page of Lu Shiyan’s autopsy report to Lin Xiaoya.
