My name is Lin Ye, and I live in the most chaotic cyber metropolis.
Other people are busy making money, chasing women, and fighting over resources.
Every day, I do just three things:
Eat, sleep, and beat up female ghosts.
They’re monsters from Cyber Liaozhai, spirits born from data, forbidden beings even stable AI wouldn’t dare touch.
They’re afraid of me.
How afraid?
I need only glare, and every monster in the city falls silent.
I need only raise a hand, and a thousand-year-old vengeful ghost drops to its knees.
People ask who I really am.
With a cigarette between my lips, I smile faintly:
“Just an ordinary passerby.”
The domineering female CEOs, cool policewomen, and mysterious hackers of the city
all revolve around me.
They don’t know that the little ghost I casually subdued
is already an untouchable legend in their eyes.
