[Tales of mountain spirits and sea monsters no longer circulate in the mortal realm. As the gods who protect humanity begin to awaken, they seek offerings of incense.]
[Do not underestimate this fair night. Many pairs of eyes lurk in the darkness, watching.]
[Wake up, humans! A terrible, all-destroying day of doom draws near!]
…
One day, Xie Qingling wakes to a murmuring whisper in her ear.
Amid one mortifyingly theatrical proclamation after another, the revival of the ancient gods begins to unfold before her.
…
The Special Incident Response Department in Future City has a new member: Xie Qingling.
At first, Xie Qingling thinks she is just an utterly ordinary rookie in the Special Incident Response Department.
Her senior colleagues think so too.
To whip the newcomer into shape as quickly as possible, they decide to spar with her and put her in her place. Time to teach her a little about the real world.
Then they see her out on a mission, taking on a vicious ghost alone and furiously wrenching its head off. A Four-Way Crossroads Ghost is forced into child labor, a Rakshasa has its blade stolen, and a Painted-Skin Ghost has its skin torn off…
Her seniors: “…” Their confidence is in pieces!
Afterward, Xie Qingling still thinks she is just an utterly ordinary rookie in the department.
As a newcomer fresh out of school, she decides to take the initiative and ask her seniors for guidance. A little sparring should help her improve and learn what the real world is like.
Her seniors recoil, terror on their faces:
“She can twist a vicious ghost’s head off, and you call that a rookie?”
“She can stop ghost children crying, and you call that a rookie?”
“Please spare us, rookie!!!”
Xie Qingling’s work diary: A person mustn’t get too arrogant. Especially a rookie as young as me.
Her seniors and the ghosts: She seems to have no idea how terrifyingly powerful she is. Does she even know what arrogance means?
What she’s doing is called being humble. 🙂
Are all the rookies this terrifying now?
She starts by ripping vicious ghosts apart, and you’re telling me this is a fucking rookie?
What’s the real world like? The rookie IS the real world.
Hey, rookie! Veteran here. Carry me, please!
Within Huaxia, no god gets to sit idle. The righteous gods return to their places; demons and monsters are put to the sword.
