The story opens in 2019, with brilliant occult specialistTeng Ruiyuconfined to a wheelchairmute, unresponsive, and emptied of thought, as if his mind has been stolen. Beside him standsQian Cuo, the hot-blooded detective captain who refuses to accept this hollowed-out version of the man he once trustedand loved.

Through a series of unfolding flashbacks, the story returns to 2017, when Qian and Teng first met while investigating a string of brutal murders in Binjiang. What began as friction between skeptic and charlatan grew into a lethal, atmospheric partnership as the two, along with their small team, uncovered clues pointing toward a shadowy mastermind

As the past reveals a deepening bond and an ever-widening conspiracy, the present poses the ultimate question:what happened to Tengand why did he become an occultist in the first place?
