Engineering Strange Tales

A staunch atheist with a PhD in control engineering is unexpectedly sent as a technical consultant to a new factory plagued by strange happenings. One bizarre equipment failure follows another, yet every scientific method he has learned proves useless. With only three days left to finish the project, Dr. Qi decides to use scientific instruments to simulate a shamanic ritual, tackling the most supernatural of mysteries with the most scientific methods.

The mysterious archive's aloof female curator, a librarian over seventy who dares to smoke in the library, and Professor Lin, Dr. Qi's most trusted mentor, all seem to know something. Yet they are evasive about a certain matter, leaving Dr. Qi to search for the answers himself.
