Detective Lin Mo travels through Shanghai during the Republic of China, and as soon as he opens his eyes, he crashes into a Paramount dancer who commits suicide strangely - the reflection in the mirror smiles, the dead are wrapped with silver threads, dock workers drown one after another, the forensic doctor Mr. Bai uses ashes to make incense, and a Japanese trading company sets up a formation at the bottom of the river to extract earth veins...
He relied on the golden finger to trace back the crime scene and found the "Wailing Wall" under the dry well of the City God's Temple, only to discover that the so-called "Return to Origin Project" was to use the vitality of 10 million Shanghainese to resurrect the evil god from a hundred years ago.
But he was still carrying the seriously injured Shen Zhiyi in his arms, and her psychic physique happened to be the most needed "container" for evil magic.
"Either break the formation and save people, or watch the whole city being buried with them."
Lin Mo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and pressed the last bullet into the gun chamber: "I choose the third option - send the people who set up the formation to hell."
