Amid the steam of the industrial revolution, mysteries surge beneath the surface. Cults and secret societies seek the extraordinary in the shadows, while hidden gods gaze upon humanity from the heavens.

Forbidden knowledge, sacrificial rituals, and forgotten histories—mystery is everywhere.

Dorothy, unexpectedly transported to this increasingly bizarre world, discovers that to survive and move forward, she must adhere to one principle:

Knowledge is power.

And forbidden knowledge?

That’s an even greater power!

Strange talk, a strange thing that uses cognition as food, information as weapon, and information as currency. They are neither living nor dead, existing in the lore of men, living in the shadows of the world.

"Does this mean that I will become a monster?"

In ancient times, they were worshiped as gods and powerful by faith.

"Then I am a god!"

In ancient times, they were regarded as feared by demons and fed on fear.

"I will become the master of ghost stories!"

But under the scouring of the torrent of the times, they gradually disappeared, leaving only paragraphs of text that were regarded as nonsense.

"It is my duty to recast the glory of ghost stories."

But you're not a weirdo, well, you're not human either.

"Well, it's considered a success if you become a monster."

Li Sen traveled through time and became the Chief of the Intelligence Division of the Chicago Police Department.

A punisher system made him empty the magazine crazily,

Violence, assault, kidnapping, murder, robbery, gangs,

No matter whether they are white or black, no matter whether they are powerful or high-ranking officials,

Anyone guilty must die!

Luxury cars, mansions, beauties, money, guns,

Crack down on gangs and eliminate evil, upgrade and you can have everything!

Dominate the lawless land, enjoy the glory and wealth,

Leeson stood on the Willis skyscraper overlooking the entire Chicago:

"Welcome to America's Sin Capital!"

This is a damn Victorian fantasy novel.

Add a spoonful of steam engines to get that damned tech tree moving! Add a spoonful of love and hate to give everyone a good reason to fight! Add a spoonful of madness to lighten up this gloomy world, and finally, add a spoonful of natural disasters as the main boss… Wait! Bloody hell, I poured too much!

Year 931 of the Envirg Calendar.

The city I live in has been named the most advanced city in the West. The main reason? Steam technology, the source of both groundbreaking innovation and utter chaos, has turned the world upside down. It’s undeniable. Yet, despite this, people still flock here in droves. This city always offers a glimmer of hope, whether it’s a lie or an illusion. It’s so close, seemingly within reach, that people are willing to risk everything for it. A city of illusions.

And I am one of those dream chasers.

【Fortune telling, feng shui, metaphysics, ghost hunting, no CP, unit story】

After a catastrophe, Lin Xi, the ninth generation female leader of Taixuan Sect, arrived a thousand years later and became the granddaughter of the last disciple of Taixuan Sect. She inherited a shabby Feng Shui shop.

The sect was in decline and metaphysics was declining. In a feng shui shop that no one cared about, Lin Xi started his journey to revive the sect.

Fortune telling, divination, feng shui, exorcism and ghost hunting, you can find the answer to any question in the feng shui shop.

"Master, my grandson has been acting strangely lately. What's wrong with him?"

Lin Xi: "Your grandson has brought a ghost home. If you don't send him away quickly, he will be haunted for the rest of his life."

…..

"Master, my boyfriend is very cold to me during the day. He doesn't reply to my messages or see me. Is he cheating on me?"

Lin Xi: "Your boyfriend didn't cheat on you. He just died and didn't dare to come out during the day."

…

"Master, my wife has been having chills for the last few days. We went to the hospital but they couldn't find anything. What's wrong with her?"

Lin Xi: "She's not sick, she just has the aborted child on her back, and she wants her to go down and be with him."

…

"Master, can you help me calculate when is the best time for my boyfriend and I to get married?"

Lin Xi: "I suggest you don't get married. Your boyfriend is dating two girlfriends at the same time. He spends time with you on odd days and with her on even days."

…

Later, the threshold of the small Feng Shui shop was almost broken down by people because its fortune-telling was so accurate.

The 18-year-old Jiang Xia was preparing for the college entrance examination, but suddenly a message appeared in his mind - [Shenxu 001 - Undercover]

Ever since this message appeared, he seemed to be no longer a normal person. No matter what he ate or how full his stomach was, he could not feel full at all.

It was not until the day of the school beauty's 18th birthday party that he smelled the scent of the same kind on her, and he also knew how to be full.

After that, he found that many people around him had the same aura, including family members, friends, doctors, sanitation workers...

No!

He is not the same as them!

He is undercover!

"You mean, you have a girlfriend that only you can see, wealth that no one else acknowledges, and everything you want is within your reach, but there are often war airships flying in the sky, giant beasts wandering around the metropolis when the fog is shrouded, and handsome guys dressed in black change size at will, and there is even a perfect piece of toast chasing people on the street, and your non-existent friends don't believe you and often laugh at you, saying that you are dreaming, and all this makes you a little uneasy?" "Yes, doctor, so do I really have a problem?" "Of course I have a problem, sir, you can even see me."

Luo Yang, who had just watched Lord of Mysteries, was driven by curiosity and tried Zhou Mingrui's transshipment ritual before time travel. "It doesn't matter whether you travel through time or not, what's important is transshipment!" With such a mood, Luo Yang prepared the ceremony and started. He recited the honorable name of the Fool: the Fool who does not belong to this era; the mysterious master above the gray fog; the yellow and black king who controls good luck...

Bad news: the transfer ritual does not transfer

Even worse news: the transport ritual really allows people to travel through time
