Introduction to the novel "The Blood Curse of Yangcheng"
When a century-old curse meets cutting-edge neurotechnology, is it the ghosts or the human heart that is being hunted?
In 2025, Kunpeng Technology executive Li Zhenghao died mysteriously in Zhujiang New Town, Guangzhou. The death was horrifying, with strange huge paw prints left at the scene, and the surveillance system mysteriously malfunctioned. Lu Mingyuan, deputy captain of the criminal investigation detachment, took over the case and discovered that the deceased's fear was accurately amplified by a certain biochemical agent.
As the investigation deepens, a century-old curse comes to light: The Lin family, a salt merchant in the late Qing Dynasty, was cursed with the "Hell Hound" blood curse for raping civilian girls, and their descendants died in mysterious ways in the same way one after another. The founder of the company where the deceased worked was none other than Lin Mubai, a descendant of the Lin family.
At the same time, "Southern Metropolis Daily" reporter Su Wanqing is also pursuing the case. Three years ago, her father died "accidentally" in a laboratory at South China University of Technology. Before his death, he warned: "The Lin family's project will open Pandora's box."
When Lu Mingyuan opened the old case files from 1995, he was horrified to find that the person in charge was his father - and his father wrote a line on the edge of the file: "It's not a dog, it's a machine. Glowing eyes."
The high-tech crime scene is intertwined with the legend of a centuries-old curse, and the unsolved cases from thirty years ago are strikingly similar to today's murders. Every deceased person had severe "canine phobia", every scene left fake paw prints, and every piece of monitoring failed at critical moments.
Is this a curse coming true, or is someone using cutting-edge neurotechnology to carry out a sophisticated revenge spanning thirty years?
Lu Mingyuan must race against time to find the murderer...
