A hard-boiled modern urban criminal investigation story with faux-supernatural suspense and mystery. All the “paranormal events” are disguises deliberately fabricated by the killer. Shen Ci's special ability isn't supernatural magic, but the remnants of the dead's memories, traces left behind by crimes, and fragments of human obsession that ordinary people can't perceive.
Lu Zheng represents the law, evidence, procedural justice, and absolute materialism. Shen Ci represents invisible traces, the truth of human nature, overlooked clues, and an unconventional approach to solving cases. The captain of the criminal investigation team breaks free of conventional investigative thinking, while the psychic young man emerges from the shadows of his past and frees himself from the burden of suspicion. From hostility and distrust to trusting each other with their lives, they become the city's public security bureau's one and only partners capable of solving old bizarre cases, serial supernatural murders, and seemingly perfect cold cases.
