The Bizarre Domestication Plan [Infinite]

[Volume One complete. Updates follow the rankings when listed; otherwise, every other day.]

[Loyal, ghostly, two-sided gong × ruthless, dangerously beautiful madman shou]

[Rekindled romance. They try to kill each other, but they love each other too much to pull it off.]

Twenty years ago, the paranormal invaded. At first, it was nothing more than a handful of insignificant supernatural incidents, until the Lord of Nightmare descended upon the mortal world.

The horror game under His command devoured countless lives, leaving players to struggle in the gap between human nature and haunted domains.

The Special Control Bureau raised the last line of defense, paying a terrible price for the ability to fight back.

The light of hope seemed just within reach.

Then, in a high-difficulty instance, a figure who should have been sleeping beneath the earth stepped through a pool of blood.

He picked up a dying aberration and lowered his eyes to stroke the monster’s face. His touch was gentle, yet chilling.

“Hush. Let’s go home.”

The Special Control Bureau’s livestream channel erupted from its deathly silence.

That face belonged, unmistakably, to the legendary field agent who had died in the line of duty three years ago!

From then on, the horror game gave rise to its most absurd spectacle:

The gluttonous evil spirit sheathed its fangs for him.

The headless paper doll held the reins and guided the way for him.

Wherever the young man who called himself Chu Xian went, the weapons of slaughter that ravaged the human world became as docile as lambs.

Some said he had long since betrayed humanity, willingly becoming an accomplice to the aberrations.

Others said he was no hero from the past, but a lackey fabricated by the Lord of Nightmare.

Chu Xian gave no answer.

Gao Xuanming traced the familiar features in the file photograph. The Special Control Bureau’s field team captain let out a low laugh, his usually gentle, refined face twisting with delight.

“I’ve found you…”

“My dear, heartless partner.”

Someone once demanded furiously,

“What exactly are you trying to do by keeping these monsters?!”

A pale hand lifted the hood. Half his face was as handsome as a god; the other half was as fearsome as a demon.

“Restore this world to normal.”

“Even if it means descending into the Inferno forever?”

“That’s a negligible price to pay.”

Besides, perhaps this had always been his destined path.
