A red-clothed ghost taking lives at the airport.

A ten-mile street crawling with spirits.

The dead rising inside a crematorium.

Corpses running amok in an abandoned hospital...

Some called him Lu the godly doctor, some called him Lu the flayer; some admired him for the mechanical prosthetics that allowed him to rampage across battlefields; some laid under his surgical knife, doomed to die; he could save people from the brink of death, and also destroy corpses without a trace; during the day, he was the warmest goodwill in the human world; at night, he was a terror that made the whole world shudder.

The scalpel hung from his fingers, a demon on one side, an angel on the other.

His name was Lu Yuan, a double-faced surgeon in a world where spiritual energy had revived, and also a professional ripper.
