Xie Jiji, a modern librarian, is obsessed with the Cthulhu mythology. When sorting out the mysterious Victoria archives, his soul traveled to London in 1890 and replaced the trainee police detective of the same name who was involved in the "Whitechapel Serial Skinning Case". The crime scene is covered with strange ritual symbols, and behind it is the terrifying shadow of the old rulers.
He only relied on modern criminal investigation knowledge and Cthulhu's "prophet" knowledge to investigate the case, but he did not have any extraordinary abilities. Once his identity is exposed, he will be hunted down by the cult and purged by the church; every time he gets closer to the truth, his reason will be on the verge of collapse. There are undercurrents surging in Victoria London. Police bureaucrats, secret sects, and royal secret agencies are at odds with each other, and everyone is suspicious.
The night of the new moon and tide is the final ritual for the cult to summon the evil god. With less than a month left, he must stop half of London from falling into the abyss between madness and death.
