Seven Misalignments

In the Great Revival Era, the barrier between the two worlds shatters, and the uncanny descends upon reality. Guns and artillery are useless against ghosts. Only the supernatural can fight the supernatural. Trigger an uncanny rule, and you'll be doomed beyond salvation. A tragedy sparked by an old mirror leaves Lin Yan the sole survivor, with the remnant ghost “Reflection in the Mirror” taking up residence inside him. After the mirror image shifts out of place seven times, his shadow will replace his body. His death countdown has begun. There is only one bloody path to escape being devoured: find more uncanny entities, build a supernatural balance, and use death to delay death. The Ghost Affairs Bureau recruits him. The vicious Bone Ghost of the Night Patrol roams the streets, while the Memory-Eating Lane of No Return appears at random. Every mission takes him to the edge of life and death. Each time he uses ghostly power, his humanity is eroded a little further. There are no lucky breaks, no glimmer of salvation. All ghost tamers face one of two endings: being devoured by the uncanny, or becoming uncanny themselves. Night cloaks Cangyuan City. Every moment he has left is borrowed.
