Detective Lin Zheng stumbles into a strange fog while investigating a series of disappearances.
After waking up, he became a "night watchman" - the lowest-level civil servant who specializes in investigating deaths in the mysterious realm.
There is no Taoism, no talismans, and no means of restraining weirdness in this world.
The strange fog will come randomly, creating a "strange realm" - a world that appears to be normal on the surface, but has actually been polluted by the resentment of the dead.
Each realm has its own death rules. Breaking the rules will lead to death. But the rules won't tell you.
You can only deduce what taboos were violated by observing the death of the previous deceased.
While others rely on cultivating immortals to travel through strange worlds, Lin Zheng can only rely on his skills as a criminal police officer——
Ask for a confession. Find evidence. Push logic.
Until one day, he discovered that the strange fog did not come randomly.
It only appears where wrongful convictions have occurred.
And the dead in the strange realm - they are not killing people.
They are asking for help.
This is a story that uses the thinking of a criminal police officer to solve the mystery.
It is also a story about "remembering"——
In a world that forgets everything, some people choose to remember those who have been forgotten at the expense of themselves.
