When science touches the boundaries of the soul, the truth becomes the most dangerous taboo.
Forensic doctor Lin Yan has a secret that no one knows: by touching the corpse, he can read the sensory fragments of the deceased's sixty seconds before death - intermittent images, residual sounds, and even violent emotions. This "talent" allowed him to solve unsolved cases repeatedly, and also brought him to the edge of collapse, until he met the female corpse with a strange smile and her internal organs eviscerated.
What he saw was not a murderer, but an ancient sacrificial chant that did not belong to this era.
Qin Yue, the special commissioner of the Ministry of National Security, appeared with top-secret files and told him a fact that subverted his cognition: "There is another set of laws in this world. What you see is 'they' hunting. And your ability makes you both a hunter and a prey."
From then on, Lin Yan was forced to join the "Abnormal Phenomenon Investigation Bureau" (Anomaly Bureau) of the Ministry of National Security, partnering with the calm, mysterious and extraordinary Qin Yue. From serial murders in the city to strange disappearances at the border, from the head-dropping magic of South Asia to the ancient blood clans of Eastern Europe, they follow a dark line across the globe to fight against the inhuman existence lurking in the shadow of modern civilization.
But Lin Yan gradually discovered that the deepest suspense was not the case itself. But where does his ability come from? What is Qin Yue's true identity? Whose creation are the "them" that the Abnormality Bureau is chasing? When love grows in trust and suspicion, and when scientific logic collides with the laws of metaphysics, he must make a choice: to become the key to unlocking all mysteries, or to become a plague that destroys both worlds.
The forensic scalpel cuts open not only the corpse, but also the disguise of the world.
