Tokyo: Subduing Anomalies from a Foot Bath Parlor

In a dingy foot bath parlor tucked inside an urban village, four naked, desiccated corpses are spat out. While the Paranormal Investigation Bureau’s team is still setting up a perimeter outside, Xun Tian is already crouched beside the mummified remains. The moment his fingertips brush the dry skin, a sultry whisper floods his ears—the final minute of the victims’ lives. Four bodies, four deaths, and one underlying truth about this anomaly zone: it magnifies human desire. As Xun Tian steps into the domain, an almost unsolvable set of rules descends upon him simultaneously—invitations cannot be refused; cravings are never satisfied; and the engagement cannot be terminated before death. Yet he is already calculating: can cracking this anomaly net him 300 credits? With that many points, he can finally rise to A-rank agent, secure a home for his mother inside the Third Ring Road, and no longer fear that she might stumble into a random anomaly on any given day. The more anomalies he resolves, the higher his rank climbs—until Xun Tian reaches S-rank. Only then does he uncover the chilling truth: the emergence of these supernatural zones is tied to a covert "Human Clearance" project.
