In 20XX, the supernatural descended without warning, then stopped forever two thousand meters above the ground.
It could not be dispelled or investigated. Only rain carrying its eerie energy continued to fall upon the world.
Wherever the eerie rain landed, all manner of strange things came into being.
Places of carnage, objects steeped in obsession, love and hatred taken to extremes… Any intense emotion could hatch a monster lurking within.
Malignant paranormal entities fed on fear, survived for seven days, and hunted the living indiscriminately;
Gentle entities born of obsession vanished in the blink of an eye, dissipating after three days, bearing the world’s unfinished regrets.
Air travel collapsed, satellites went dark, and the world was split apart by the eerie presence hanging overhead.
The Xia Kingdom established the Paranormal Affairs Bureau to suppress high-risk entities, while countless minor threats were packaged off to civilian paranormal investigators.
Lin Yan, thirty-eight, former captain of the Yucheng Criminal Investigation Brigade.
Back then, he took on the powerful families and their corruption head-on, only to be framed and dismissed. His family fell apart, and the years left him battered and worn.
With nowhere else to turn, he accepted a meager wage and became a low-ranking paranormal investigator walking the line between life and death.
He had no heaven-defying abilities, no supernatural powers.
He survived in the cracks of a city overrun by the paranormal with nothing but a lifetime of criminal investigation and deduction, extraordinary composure, and resilience in the face of desperation.
The Paranormal Affairs Bureau hid its own schemes, assignments were hard to distinguish from traps, and powerful families exploited the paranormal for profit, treating human lives as worthless.
On one side were unknown entities wandering through rainy nights, stealing people’s minds, with death lurking at every turn;
on the other were sealed old cases, powerful forces, and ruthless criminals closing in step by step.
Alone, he kept his vulnerable daughter hidden and walked through the darkness.
He unraveled paranormal obsessions, contained monsters from the rainy nights, and investigated the injustice that had ruined him.
As the eerie rain kept falling from the sky, and human evil grew more terrifying than the paranormal,
the fallen detective Lin Yan, an ordinary man, stood against the entire host of entities suspended above the world.
Fear endures. Obsession never fades.
When will this rain finally stop?
