[Main story complete, extras coming soon]
Li Yuan is a steadfast materialist.
She believes in neither gods nor ghosts, and even doubts that aliens exist.
But after she kindly rescues an animal, a girl who calls herself a “fox spirit” shows up at her door, saying she wants to repay her kindness.
At first, Li Yuan thinks she's met a “lunatic.”
But after seeing the Supernatural Affairs Bureau and all kinds of bizarre monsters, she takes a few deep breaths.
It's fine. She just has to look after this fox spirit for a little while.
It's only three months, and she'll even get paid.
So what if her worldview has been turned upside down? She can overcome her fear!
She'll endure it!
She thinks that's the only supernatural thing that will happen, but it turns out to be just the beginning!!!
After an unexpected brush with death, she's forced to join the Supernatural Affairs Bureau.
Together with a group of supernatural beings, she forms Team Zero Point Nine, and they prove more than capable of fighting monsters and solving cases.
But none of these cases are what she expected.
A middle-aged man who jumps from a building is the despair of a woman who has been shaped into someone else's ideal.
The disappearance of dozens of university students tears away the school's facade.
A missing mountain god turns out to be closely connected to human trafficking. A young man studying abroad is actually being sent to a psychiatric hospital by his mother.
One horrifying case after another.
A fox with maxed-out combat skills and a gift for socializing; an all-knowing tree with a wealth of knowledge; a bird that's great at healing but obsessively devoted to one person; a pessimistic, short-tempered cat; and Li Yuan, who is socially anxious but forced to investigate cases.
Team Zero Point Nine has everything except social skills, and their intelligence is off the charts!
[Bonus scene]
About winning a one-day trip to a magical world in the year-end raffle
When Yun Tingsong and the others set off together, they see a traffic light.
Bai Ruoli (the red-light fox), bold and fearless: If we're going to an amusement park, we have to try everything! Five roller coaster rides, check!
Li Yuan (the yellow-light human), not very brave but not afraid either: As long as I'm with friends, anything is fun~
Bai Yu (the green-light bird), cold on the outside, warm-hearted, and underage: That was fun. Let's come again next time.
A cat hiding in the red-light fox's mind and sharing her senses: Oh heavens, I hate brats! And roller coasters!
And Yun Tingsong, who grabs the hands of the people on either side the moment the ride starts, terrified despite not being very brave, and faints.
That's Team Zero Point Nine for you: when it comes to being unprofessional, we're the best.
Upcoming story
While carrying out a mission, the ghost reaper Chang Shu finds two abandoned ghosts.
One is chatty and claims she'll be the future Best Actress of the entertainment industry. In reality, she's a broke nobody who knows the ins and outs of black-and-white thinking.
The other is quiet and reserved, and claims she'll be the future empress of some dynasty. In reality, she's a wealthy young lady who's easily startled and prone to melancholy.
The two are from different dynasties, and for some reason they can't be subdued.
They can't cross the River of the Underworld, nor can they be sent into reincarnation.
Just when Chang Shu has no idea what to do,
they remember how strict the Underworld's civil service exam requirements are: no days off for 365 days a year, with no guaranteed pay. The work is grueling, with only three ghost reapers for every seven ghosts.
Chang Shu promptly recommends the two talented souls for the “trainee ghost reaper” program.
Together with the two trainees, Chang Shu diligently carries out the difficult tasks of reaping souls (catching ghosts) and sending them on their way (kicking them into the cycle of reincarnation).
*
Yu Ye discovers that the Underworld isn't quite what she imagined.
The womb is the exit from the Underworld, and Earth is only one of many multidimensional worlds.
There are humans, ghosts, spirits, immortals, and more in this world...
The job of a ghost reaper is nothing like she expected, either.
She thought she'd make a dashing entrance and swiftly catch ghosts, but instead... the ghosts chase her and beat her up!
And after the beating, she has to counsel them.
Yu Ye: “...”
Xie Shanwei: I think I understand why nobody wants such a “great” job.
Investigate the obsessions of vengeful ghosts, learn about their connections, catch them, and send them on their way.
Write down their lives, word for word, with absolute fairness. Never add your own thoughts or judgments.
A beauty who is said to have brought a kingdom to ruin, a woman for whose smile a man once slew ten thousand. History calls her a beauty who brought disaster, a woman who doomed a nation.
Later generations say she brought down a dynasty, and tell of her tangled love life, yet no one ever tells us who she was...
There was also a famous courtesan, mocked in her own time as a lovesick fool and condemned by later generations as a disgrace who squandered a winning hand through her lack of ambition.
She was the cherished confidante of cultured men. “Tender confidante” was her “name,” and an untimely death her ending. But was that what she wanted?

After reading the story in the first volume, I have a lot of feelings and thoughts. I have mixed feelings in my heart, some are moved, some are regretful, and some are sad... Mostly I am looking forward to the protagonist team!! [Compare hearts][Compare hearts] In fact, during the process of catching up on updates, I always thought of "Harry Potter" written by JK Rowling. I feel that this big book is also a fairy tale like Harry Potter, with a very beautiful friendship, a fairy tale-style healing style, the growth experience of the protagonist, and a fantasy world, etc. [Orange candy][Orange candy] At the beginning of the chapter, it was particularly fairytale-like, with white foxes, cats, bush birds, and willow spirits. Hahaha, the heroine poked some kind of animal nest or plant nest, and then started such a very fantasy adventure. (As I write this, I think of The Hobbit again. Wow, I really love this adventure story of the protagonist group!) And these larger characters are really exciting and make people like them! 🐶🌹🐶🌹🐶🌹 Li Yuan, a human girl who looks soft but is actually tough, doesn't want any other surprises in her life at first, but accidents always come to her. She will feel unlucky at first, but after getting along with her for a long time, she will feel that she may be lucky. She will study crazily while holding a book "in front of the battlefield", she will feel guilty because of her mother's phone call, she will bravely rush to save her teammates, she will caress the deformed Chacha... From escaping to confronting, from self-preservation to protecting, you can clearly see her growth and open her heart. But my teacher forgot her age. She was only 15 years old. Her words "I really don't want to die" made me go numb! What moved me very much was that she finally had the friendship of her dreams at the age of 15. It was really great, wow! (To add a topic, when I first read that the heroine was only 15 years old, I really thought the author was in junior high school or high school. Later, when I saw a lot of proper nouns and some very in-depth and insightful analysis in the composition, I realized that it turned out to be a fairy tale written for us by someone who was engaged in rigorous research. Hahaha) 💪 💪 Yun Tingsong, I love this arrogant willow tree spirit to death! He would say "it's just cooperation", but he would secretly worry about the safety of his teammates. He would run out of breath to pick up his teammates, and he would be relieved to see that his teammates were safe and sound. I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I saw him being criticized by his teammates for saying Liu Shen is not a god, and complaining about "Will talking too much will lower his cultivation level?" Etc. The contrast was so cute, and I felt that he also needed friends very much, and he would be moved by group chat messages. 😳😳 Bai Ruoli is a very outspoken white fox. He is very loyal and has a high force value. Especially when he knew that he was looking for fragments, he was the first one to agree to find them. He was also a really good fox who went to great lengths to save Yuanyuan! 🐶🌹🐶🌹 Huahua, the cute cat, as long as there are cats, there is hope in this world! Whee! Although Maomao is a bit timid, she is the cute leader of the team, and she will bravely protect Yuanyuan at critical moments. However, I feel that there are still some misunderstandings between Xiaoyun and Maomao. I hope they will be resolved later ~ 🤗 🤗 Bai Yu, the miracle doctor of Guanguanniao, is a must-have in the team, and his interaction with cats is also very cute! [Orange candy][Orange candy] Such a magical team is really fun to follow. I look forward to them completing five levels and killing six generals! Achieve growth, realize your wishes, and shine! 🐶🌹🐶🌹 After talking about the light-hearted, let's talk about something a little heavier. I just looked back and realized that the name of the first volume is "Death on a Lonely Island". Combined with the story of Teacher Meng and the words of Dada in this chapter, Dada's wording is really too precise. To put it more profoundly, in fact, most women are Teacher Meng, not Teacher Meng. 🤗 Saying "It's all Teacher Meng" refers to the ideology and education we women have received since childhood, which is to care for our husbands and raise our children, be virtuous and gentle, be virtuous and kind, devote ourselves to the family and children, wait for the love of our boyfriends/husbands, and run a good family... It can be said that most women are good girls. After all, we are taught very well in school. Many women, like Teacher Meng, listen to their parents, get married, and then live a married life. 🐶🌹🐶🌹 I say "not Teacher Meng" because every woman's choices, the people she meets, the support she has, the choices she makes, etc. Are different, which leads to different results. After all, there are still many women who have a very happy married life, and Teacher Meng in the article has indeed lived as a "lonely island". Oolong tea carries all her love. If she loses Oolong tea, then she is a person without love. This is her true confession, and it is also a true projection of thousands of women and pet owners who have been victims of domestic violence. 🥺 🥺 🥺 But what I admire very much is that Teacher Meng is actually trying to save herself. She has tried many methods. The relationship between Teacher Meng and Oolong Tea also made me tear up, especially during the decisive battle. Teacher Meng transformed into a fierce ghost but still remembered to protect the puppy, and knelt down and cried to the ghost chacha, saying that Chacha was not wrong, while Oolong Cha was wagging his tail to be with Teacher Meng. It was really touching. (I really can't watch this. The loyal dog Hachiko also burst into tears before.) 😭 😭 😭 Moreover, Dada's retelling of such real events is really thought-provoking. It examines pet poisoning, domestic violence, and online violence. It feels like it adds a realistic steel structure to the fairy tale. It is really meaningful. I give it a thumbs up!!!!! Looking forward to the follow-up development ~ Come on! 💪 💪 💪
Why are cats so cute? [Touch head][touch head][touch head]
It feels like a very anime-like description, and it would look great if adapted into an anime!
The first case has come to an end, the friends have experienced a run-in, come on!! 💪💪
Poor Oolong Tea 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 People who poison themselves are really anti-social.
Hahaha Ruoli felt the mental crushing of Juan Wang Xueba, and he actually responded by watching short videos [hahahaha] 😆 😆 This is very Ruoli [touch his head] [touch his head]
Congratulations to Yuanyuan for having so many good friends. It makes people feel soft [touch their heads] [touch their heads] [touch their heads] [touch their heads]
Oh oh oh, it turns out that the experience in the previous chapter was Yuanyuan's experience with Teacher Meng 🥺 Yuanyuan is still so small, she can definitely find a way to save herself!
Birch: Feng Ping was killed (Erkang's hand) 🥺 🥺 Yuanyuan's experience is so heartbreaking 😭 😭
