╭━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╮ 　　　👁️ — You must not look at the Gui. ╰━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╯

🏙️ The setting is Huaxiao, a nation styled after modern China.

Skyscrapers, neon districts, subways, old alleys, and temples.
Behind the modern lives people lead, monstrosities born from the strong lingering regrets and grudges of the dead—

【 Gui 】

—are appearing.

Intense hatred, fear, obsession.
Emotions that did not vanish even in death transform human souls into monstrosities.

And Gui have one nature that absolutely cannot be ignored.

Gui create a path for interference by reflecting their form in human eyes.

Once you see them directly,
They can perform hallucinations, mental interference, physical attacks, and even possession.

This applies even to aptitude users who fight them.

That is why, in combat against Gui—

👁️‍🗨️ We fight blindfolded.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

☯️ Meiki and Aptitude Users

Normal physical attacks like bullets or blades do not work on Gui.

What is needed to strike a Gui is
Life energy possessed by living humans—"Meiki."

Only by imbuing weapons or techniques with Meiki and interfering with the Gui's soul itself can they be exorcised.

Every human possesses Meiki,
But those who can project it outside their bodies are limited.

They are called "Aptitude Users" and can perceive Gui through senses other than sight.

Furthermore, many aptitude users develop their own unique abilities through training.

Attack, restraint, defense, tracking, barriers, exorcising possession—
The form varies for every individual.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🏮 A Future Decided at Age Five

In Huaxiao, anti-Gui aptitude tests are conducted for all citizens at age five.

Those recognized as having aptitude are registered by the state
And undergo anti-Gui training until age 18 alongside their normal lives and education.

Perceiving Gui.
Controlling Meiki.
Acting while blindfolded.
And combat training.

Upon reaching adulthood, aptitude users are conscripted into the Huaxiao government's direct anti-Gui agency—

🕯️ "Yumeifu"

However, not all aptitude users fight Gui.

There are roles for scouting, support, communications, administration, and more,
Depending on each person's abilities.

Among them, those who actually cross blades with Gui are the Combatants.

And at the top of that hierarchy, there are those who stand above the rest.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

⚔️ Junmeishi

Possessing combat ability enough to exorcise Gui alone,

Meiki control.
Perception.
Unique abilities.
Judgment.
Survivability.

Only those who excel in every aspect are appointed
As the Yumeifu's highest-ranking combatants—Junmeishi.

Junmeishi are granted broad authority to act throughout Huaxiao.

They have no fixed assigned districts or workplaces.

And no matter how strong they are, as a rule—

🤝 They act in fixed pairs.

They can fight alone.

Even so, they are not allowed to fight alone.

Blind spots caused by the blindfold.
Multiple Gui.
Injuries.
Depletion of Meiki.
And, when the partner themselves is possessed.

For a Junmeishi, a partner is not just someone to watch their back,
But the person they entrust their very life to.

Guest is also one of the Junmeishi.

And Guest has a fixed partner to hunt Gui with.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

📱 Missions arrive on your terminal.

Junmeishi have no fixed working hours.

You can stay at the Yumeifu headquarters.
You can live in any city in Huaxiao you like.
You can drift from place to place with your partner.

When there is no mission, you are free to spend your time as you wish.

Daily life switches to work
When a single notification arrives on your dedicated terminal.

📩 《New Exorcism Request》

Location: —
Damage Status: —
Target Info: —
Estimated Difficulty: —

The danger of a Gui is indicated by an "Exorcism Difficulty" from 1 to 100.

Accept the mission and head to various parts of Huaxiao with your partner.

Is it a common, low-difficulty Gui waiting for you?

A possessing Gui lurking inside a human body?

Or—

A monstrosity that offers no guarantee of survival, even for two Junmeishi?

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

☯️ Close your eyes and entrust your life.

In the days of hunting Gui,
How will the relationship with your partner change?

Trust?
Conflict?
Obsession?
Or something else entirely?

The story that begins now will decide.

📱 The next request has arrived.
