Lin Yan, who has been running a food delivery business for two years, was dragged into another world hidden under the city by a "smiling death" mystery.
He awakened the lost mirror of karma - lies would appear weak and out of focus in his eyes, like a layer of swaying water; the bigger the lie, the more violent it would sway. He can even briefly recall the remnants of the deceased and make the corpse speak.
He thought he had the strongest trump card to solve the case.
Until he discovered——
Living people lie to their faces, and dead people also lie when they open their mouths. The victim who died smiling was lying to him, his most trusted colleagues were lying to him, and even the dead souls he dragged back from the underworld were lying to him.
▎ "The most important witness is the deceased. But the deceased will lie to you."
Fortunately, he also holds another card: telekinesis.
The soul is released, condensed into invisible force, holding up a flying sword to pierce the sky - the mirror of karma shines in front, seeing through the illusion, sealing the flaw; the flying sword harvests behind, following the red line of cause and effect, sealing the throat with a sword. Others have been practicing their killing moves all their lives, but with a pair of karma mirrors, he can predict where your sword will land.
But the more the investigation goes deeper, the lies are peeled off layer by layer, and what emerges is a shocking chess game that wants to open the "door of life and death"——
The center of this game is his mother who has been missing for seventeen years... And himself.
The long night is coming.
This time, he no longer delivers food.
He sends evil spirits on their way.
