Wu Liao, 32 years old, is a second-level chief clerk of the Civil Affairs Bureau of Sansui County, Qiangui Province.
Daily work: reviewing poverty alleviation materials, writing self-examination reports, and holding meetings that never solve problems.
Special ability: Awakened accidentally after a car accident, his soul can leave his body at any time and float around in the spiritual world.
He found that this ability was quite practical - such as leaving the body in the middle of the night to eavesdrop on whether village cadres had falsely declared poverty alleviation funds, or using soul perception to scan supplier qualifications in the archives room. Of course, there are also side effects: it is easy to be sent to the hospital by colleagues when you are in a "daze" in the office, it is easy to be stared at by your wife with a doctor-like scrutiny, and it is easy to attract some unfriendly things - such as the dark red evil spirit that has been sleeping for decades in the abandoned quarry in the northern suburbs.
Duan Qingluan said that it was the evil spirit that was crippled by her great-grandfather seventy years ago, and it was about to wake up now.
Duan Qingluan also said that the Duan family has guarded the Chenghuang Temple for six hundred years, and the ancestral motto stipulates that "only defend but not attack" - the evil spirits are outside and do not chase.
Wu Liao asked: "What should I do?"
Duan Qingluan replied: "You are a civil servant, not a member of the Duan family."
Wu Liao: "..."
The daily life of an ordinary civil servant: investigating poverty alleviation and corruption during the day, and practicing out-of-body experience at night; signing review materials with his left hand, and punching malicious spirits with his right hand; with the upcoming "recruitment" from the Special Administration Bureau on his head, and on his feet are his mortgage, his daughter's vaccine appointment, and his wife's electric car with bad brakes.
"I'm just a clock maker, how come I'm the only person with powers in Sansui County who plans to take the initiative?"
