[Metaphysics Detective + Treasure Protection Legend + Tales of the Republic of China]
The Tang Dynasty is about to fall, and the twelve internal guards form a blood alliance and hide in the wind and snow with spiritual objects related to the fate of the country.
Thousands of years later, in Hangzhou in the Republic of China, a bizarre murder occurred on the Shanghai-Hangzhou Express. Six people were killed and their throats were sealed with a knife. Only a lost ancient painting from the Tang Dynasty - "Zhong Kui Attacking Ghosts" - was missing.
At the same time, black water emerged one after another from ancient wells in the city of Hangzhou, and those who drank it were infected with strange diseases, making people panic. Hu Yiqiang, a young shop owner of a white shop by the canal, was forced to get involved in the puzzle.
An ancient painting, a series of murders, strange changes in the well... Seemingly unrelated clues actually lead to a secret guard that spans thousands of years. With the confrontation between black and white and the undercurrent of evil, can he uncover the truth before the West Lake Expo and keep the city's vitality?
Ancient paintings appear in the world, and there are ghosts and shadows; a Xuanmen boy breaks the situation and chases the murderer.
