The spirit tide is upon us, and the dead become bound spirits.
Then we discovered that some monsters possessed the tactics, obsessions, and even... thoughts we knew so well.
They are called "anomalous bound spirits," the highest classified threat, and must be eliminated.
I am Lin Du. My mother was the first soldier to become an anomalous bound spirit.
Then one day, I found myself holding her military ID as I faced a terrifying monster wearing her face.
The data told me it was a calamity.
My soul told me it was my mother.
To kill it would mean losing our humanity.
To spare it would mean destroying the world.
What, exactly, are we hunting: monsters, or the remnants of fallen humanity?
