Night Wanderer in the City

Prequel: Living alone in the mountains was too lonely. Shen Mobai finally defied his master’s dying wish and descended—but was it truly fate that destined him to be a demonic scourge? Yet, had he never met Luo Jing, would none of it have happened? Main Story: Shen Gu knew his eyesight was excellent. Obviously—what kind of sniper has bad eyesight? But he never imagined his vision was sharp enough to see ghosts… Honestly, why hadn’t he noticed before? Of course, the reason he discovered it was all thanks to Young Master Zhong’s “pointers”… Don’t doubt it—this is indeed a modern urban tale, just with an ancient prequel. References for this work include: *The Classic of Mountains and Seas*, *In Search of the Supernatural*, *What the Master Would Not Discuss*, *Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio*, *Yuewei Cottage Notes*, *A Dictionary of Chinese Mythology and Folklore*, and various folk legends.
