Night Watch Temp

Lu Chen was just an ordinary person, unemployed straight out of college. One day, he casually picked up an inconspicuous black wooden token in an old alley, binding himself to the Night Watch legacy and stepping into a world caught between yin and yang. Seven days of trials, seven layers of strange calamities: only after guiding vengeful spirits and suppressing sinister forces through the initiation test did he realize this was just the beginning.

The Night Watchers follow one rule: guide spirits onward when possible, and only kill when necessary. But there is another faction in the world, the Slayers, who believe all sinister and supernatural things must be exterminated. The two sides' ideals are utterly irreconcilable.

The miasma of the southern frontier, ghost ships in the northern seas, ancient ruins in the Central Plains: primordial sinister forces lie dormant throughout the land of Shenzhou. Otherworldly evil lords stir the rifts in secret, and the Nine Abysses are gradually coming undone.

He must protect ordinary people's everyday lives while walking the boundary between yin and yang, seeking out like-minded allies and resolving conflicts. Through one confrontation and great battle after another, he begins by tempering his spirit, breaks through layer upon layer of realms, uncovers the ancient secret behind the Night Watchers' schism, and shoulders the burden of keeping both worlds at peace.

He was not born powerful. He is only a Night Watcher who took the job on short notice, guarding the lights of the human world and guiding restless souls onward.
