This is an era where the laws of physics collapse and flesh and blood and machinery coexist.
The so-called "ghosts" are physical entities parasitized by high-dimensional concept bacteria; the so-called "gods" are a collection of alienated organs that are too huge to be understood.
Human beings no longer practice immortality and Taoism, but choose to "survive as prosthetics" - replacing the monster's eyeballs with themselves as prosthetic eyes, and attaching the sharp bones of the ghosts to their broken arms.
Lin Shen, the chief suturer at the "Shen Alley Clinic" in the slums.
He has a pair of "absolutely precise" hands that can sew up any mismatched rejection reactions, and can also dismantle living gods into cheap parts.
"Boss, can you sew the vocal cords of this Thousand-Throated Demon for me into my throat? I want to sing."
"Yes, but the price is that you will never be able to tell the truth in your life. The operating table is over there, lie down on it and don't rub the blood on my floor."
With this cut, you will either evolve into a god or become a new product on my shelf.
——Lin Shen, on the operating table.
