After my grandfather died, I inherited a shabby shop in a demolished alley.
The name of the shop is "Shan Hai Folk Culture Co., Ltd.". On the surface, it provides casual consultation, but in fact, it is engaged in an ancestral business - to capture the strange beasts that escaped from the "Book of Mountains and Seas" era into the modern city, contain them, seal them, and use them to control monsters.
I am the only employee. The assistant is an old yellow dog with a lame leg.
I'm three months behind on my rent, and my colleagues want to take over my store. Even I look like a fool.
But they don't know three things:
First, I never fight an unprepared battle.
Every time I get hurt, I leave a mark on my enemy.
Every time I lost, it was a move I deliberately gave up.
Second, there are many more monsters in this city than you think.
There are vultures crawling on the ceiling of the hospital looking for children, there are insects sleeping in the main water pipe that can dry up the entire city, and the man named "Mr. Meng" is selling exotic beasts as commodities to the powerful.
Third, I'm not here to be a hero.
I'm just here to collect an old debt for grandpa.
This debt has been calculated for decades.
It's time to pay it back.
