Chronicles of Slaying Ghosts and Gods in the Mortal Realm

On a dimly lit street, footsteps echo behind you. In the dead of night, a door knocks without rhythm. In hazy dreams, fractured shadows loom. “All of these are ghosts—and for just 998! Keep evil at bay! A genuine Taoist priest from Mount Longhu—you can’t lose!” Liu Zhao, only a first-year disciple on the mountain, is forced to descend and make a living. Together with his foster sister Yang Yiyi and fellow senior disciple Pan Yao, he runs a rundown shop called the “Strange Affairs Agency.” Gifted—or perhaps cursed by fate—within a single year, the young man masters most of the arts taught by his master, Li Qianqiu. But is the road ahead truly smooth? Abandoned destinies, burdens of duty, and unseverable mortal ties—one after another, they await him. In this world, there exists a mysterious organization known as the Yin-Yang Boundary Office, dedicated to handling supernatural cases. Those with special abilities to banish demons and vanquish evil are called—Variant Humans. If you ever find yourself in this world, remember this: ghosts are merely human souls, born from obsessions left before death. And everyone carries such obsessions. So they are not all terrifying—they simply long for someone to help them re-enter the cycle of reincarnation. “I do not kill ghosts. I am merely a ferryman for the underworld.”
