At the Huamizi Orphanage’s Asian branch, Zhou Yinhe, a teenage Chinese detective prodigy, specializes in supernatural and paranormal cases that ordinary people cannot explain.
Yet every time he solves a case, the seemingly uncanny events turn out to have been staged by people.
Boring. So boring.
He gradually became convinced that there was no such thing as the supernatural.
The tedium and numbness consumed his everyday life. He longed for a thrilling fire to burn away the cold ashes in his heart.
After the Fox Immortal Mountain case was closed, a nightmarish crime caught his attention.
An entire class of boys, along with their homeroom teacher, had dismembered a girl.
He thought the case was over, but the dismembered girl appeared again, alive and well.
Kawakami Tomie, a strange being who could be reborn again and again and bewitch people.
Yinhe exchanged clues with his senior, L, and pieced together the case. L concluded that Tomie posed a major risk to society, so he arranged for Zhou Yinhe to go undercover in her class as an exchange student.
What exactly is Tomie? The answer awaits his discovery.
Could this encounter with Tomie be the thrill that finally breaks up the monotony of his life?
