The Demon Hunter of the City

Chen Mo, 27 years old, was a seemingly ordinary shop assistant. His daily job was to pass the time in a small store that sold fake antiques. Although his life was uneventful and his monthly salary modest, he had never imagined it would suddenly undergo such a dramatic change. One late night, while Chen Mo was alone in the shop, he accidentally witnessed a terrifying scene—an unknown creature removing its mask, revealing an eerie, expressionless face beneath. In that instant, his world changed completely. From that day on, Chen Mo discovered that he had awakened the “Yin-Yang Eyes,” allowing him to see demons and spirits that ordinary people could not perceive. Forced to face these supernatural phenomena, Chen Mo’s life was divided into two parts. During the day, he still worked at the shop selling fake antiques, dealing with Old Lin’s endless errands and complaints. But at night, he had no choice but to learn and practice the knowledge and skills needed to capture demons, protecting himself from those terrifying entities. At first, Chen Mo felt overwhelming fear and helplessness. He didn’t understand why he had become entangled in all of this, nor did he know how to deal with it. However, under Old Lin’s guidance, he gradually learned how to craft alchemy, identify different types of spirits, and master some basic self-defense techniques. The process was difficult, but Chen Mo knew he had no choice—only by facing it could he survive. As time passed, Chen Mo not only learned how to fight demons but also discovered that his family had a hidden history connected to these supernatural beings. It turned out that one of his ancestors had once saved a white cat spirit, and this spirit had been secretly protecting him ever since. With the help of the white cat, Chen Mo slowly uncovered more secrets about his own origins and found a glimmer of hope in confronting the terrifying forces around him. Through all of this, Chen Mo also realized that he was no longer just an ordinary, useless shop clerk. Although the future was full of uncertainty and challenges, he was no longer the kind of person who would only run away. Now he possessed a special ability and a unique mission—selling fake antiques by day and hunting real demons by night, protecting himself and the people around him. The road ahead would not be easy, but Chen Mo was determined to keep going. Because he knew that only by facing fear could he truly escape the darkness within and find his own path toward the light.
