Description
Ni Jianyi, a human scientist and exorcist, risks unleashing catastrophe through forbidden experiments fusing science and occult forces to resurrect the demon king Gyumaoh. His tampering births the "Minus Wave," a corrupting energy that drives demons to violent insanity, shattering the fragile truce between humans and supernatural beings in Shangri-La. He forges an uneasy alliance with Gyokumen Koushu, Gyumaoh’s concubine, their collaboration a tangled web of shared ambition and concealed betrayals as each maneuvers to control the resurrection’s outcome.
A prodigy who earned his doctorate at 17 and became the second-youngest Sanzo priest ever ordained, Ni Jianyi once guarded the sacred Muten Sutra—a trust he now violates. His genius, warped by fanatical beliefs in racial purity, fuels ruthless experimentation to eradicate demons, whom he deems inferior. A worn rabbit plushie accompanies him, dismissed as a childish affectation until its true purpose surfaces: a cunningly disguised reliquary concealing the fifth sutra essential to Gyumaoh’s return.
Plagued by the tragic loss of Azura, a demon lover whose death hardens his bigotry into vendetta, Ni Jianyi’s psyche fractures. He converses with the plushie as though channeling Azura’s spirit, a delusion masking his spiraling instability. His atrocities include brainwashing subjects and splicing demonic DNA to forge the War Prince Nataku, a living weapon crafted from Gyumaoh’s bloodline.
His schemes pivot between mastermind and pawn as Gyokumen exploits his dependency on her resources. Overconfidence in his intellect and fixation on resurrecting Azura through Gyumaoh’s return blind him to the Sanzo party’s tenacity and his ally’s treachery. Each defeat erodes his grip on reason, his experiments growing recklessly destructive as madness mounts.
Ni Jianyi’s descent into chaos leaves an indelible mark: the Minus Wave’s lingering corruption, Nataku’s volatile existence, and sutras scattered by his machinations. His legacy persists not in triumph but as a cautionary shadow—a genius consumed by obsession, whose unraveling threads ignite conflicts long after his fall.
