Bureau 749: The Seventh Division

749 Bureau: The Seventh Division is a suspenseful supernatural series with a strong sense of realism, following the investigations of the bureau’s ultimate failsafe department, the Seventh Division.

Led by folklore professor Shen Bai, the four-person team consists of exorcist Lu Yuan, spirit-artifact master Jiang Wan, and dreamwalker Lin Nian. They specialize in solving “massacre-level grudge incidents” that stumped the first six divisions. From the ghosts of a haunted school to corpse-driving rituals in western Hunan, from soul swaps in a hospital to a tide of corpses in the South China Sea, all twenty-five standalone cases are adapted from real rumors and weave together human tragedies and eerie mysteries.

The team uses secret arts to crack each case and restore justice to the dead. Amid a chilling, uncanny atmosphere, they uncover long-buried injustices and lay restless souls to rest. In the end, they face the ancient evil known as the Ruin Lord, protecting the peace of the mortal world with the power of ten thousand souls and composing a passionate tale of good battling evil.
