At a funeral home in the dead of night, a corpse refiner is up to no good, and resentment fills the air.
Lin Jiuxuan, a young fortune-telling Taoist at the City God Temple, takes one look and says calmly, “A living corpse? No, it's a corpse puppet.”
The vicious Taotie soul sealed inside him suddenly roars: “Find them... Devour them!”
By day, he is Master Lin, lazily telling fortunes at the temple.
By night, he is the “Night Watcher” roaming the city, his left eye seeing the living and his right eye peering into the shadows.
A Taoist prodigy? An agent of the underworld? A Taotie Host?
As the truth behind his family's slaughter emerges and monsters from every faction reveal themselves,
Lin Jiuxuan forms a Taoist hand seal, a fierce gleam in his eyes.
“This time, what I devour won't be just demons and monsters.”
