Urban Spiritual Deed: Modern Demon Subduing Record

In the neon city of Cloud City in 2026, technology and spirituality are intertwined, and the "spiritual world" that is indistinguishable to the naked eye coexists in parallel with the human world. The spirits that are born from the energy of the city may bring negative energy to cause chaos in the world, or they may protect the land and water to bring blessings. The demon subduing masters lurking in the corners of the city are maintaining the balance between the two worlds in a special capacity. Shen Yan, on the surface, is the gentle owner of "Shiguangzhai", an ancient book restoration shop in the old city, but in fact, he is the successor of "Shen's Lingqi" that has been passed down for forty-seven generations. He holds a "Xiu Wen Ruler" modified from a bronze sword, and can communicate spiritual thoughts with documents and resolve obsessions with formations. He is accompanied by a spiritual "ink" that transforms into a ragdoll cat - he is greedy and sharp, and is his best partner in investigating cases. Multiple unit stories connect the daily life of urban monsters: from the ghost in the mirror who devoured creative inspiration in the western-style mansion of the Republic of China, to the thousand-year-old fox demon who uses traffic to control emotions in the e-sports center; from the mountain god who disputes over engineering conflicts at the foot of Lingtong Mountain in Fujian, to the strange memory-eating beast that can pawn memories and devour emotions... Every appearance is a two-way game between Shen Yan and the spirits, and it is also an in-depth interpretation of human obsessions, fireworks and warmth. They do not act as "subduers" who blindly eliminate monsters, but only as "middlemen" to balance the two worlds. They use ancient contracts to unlock the secrets of ghosts and monsters in modern cities, and use gentleness and wisdom to resolve obsessions and disputes that have spanned hundreds of years. In the urban jungle of steel and concrete, stories about protection, reconciliation and redemption are slowly unfolding.
