Notes of the Exorcist

Lin Shen passed three years of rigorous training and was admitted to the Ninth Branch of the State Administration of Special Affairs with the best grades to become a trainee demon exterminator. His job is to clear away the monsters wandering in the city - those dangerous beings condensed by resentment and obsession, and to protect ordinary people from being corroded by evil spirits. According to the textbook, monsters are pure energy bodies that have lost human consciousness and emotions. To get rid of them is to free them. On his first day on the job, he encountered his first monster in an abandoned industrial area - the "Grudge" numbered C-037. The moment the peach wood sword pierced the translucent gray-black humanoid, a familiar voice called out his name: "Xiao Shen, is that you?" That was his mother who disappeared three years ago. Only then did Lin Shen realize that every wandering monster in this seemingly peaceful city was someone's relative, lover, or friend that he would never see again. They retain the memories and emotions of their lives, are trapped in bodies beyond their control, and repeat their last obsessions day after day. And his job is to find them, recognize them, and then send them away with his own hands.
