In the seventeenth year of the Republic of China, it rained continuously in Shanghai.
A female corpse appeared out of thin air in an alley in Anping, a cinnabar paper lantern hung on a rainy night, and murders disguised as supernatural beings broke out one after another. Rumors spread in the city and everyone was in danger.
Chief Inspector Shen Yanci of the patrol room strictly abides by the law, only believes in evidence, and faces endless strange mysteries.
Lu Xun, who returned from studying abroad, is familiar with folk customs and tricks, and can see through people's unpredictable hearts, and breaks into his world like a shadow.
One is serious and serious, the other is casual and cunning.
The two walked together through old alleys, theaters, and deep houses, dismantling illusions and detecting disguised ghosts and gods.
After clearing away the layers of fog, we realize that in troubled times, the most terrifying thing is never the ghostly illusions, but the grudges, greed and murderous intentions buried deep in the years.
The lights flickered, and there were many doubts.
This prosperous and dark Shanghai beach has hidden undercurrents that go far beyond the strange things in front of you...
