Post-War Hong Kong • City of Ten Thousand Grudges

The brutal war of three years and eight months has just ended, and the neon lights of the colony are lit again. However, the speed of reconstruction in the mortal world cannot keep up with the expansion of the catastrophe in the underworld! This is a Hong Kong where gangsters, foreigners, evil cultivators, and demons are mixed together.

In 1945 Hong Kong, the smell of burnt lingered in the streets and air-raid shelters. The British Hong Kong flag was raised again, the signs of foreign firms were repainted, and the lights of Paramount Ballroom flickered on one by one—but the light couldn't penetrate deeper. Because the Yin Gate had already opened.

The war had torn apart the island's ley lines. The living rushed to rebuild, while the underworld was already in chaos. Where the yang energy was strongest, it was often where the yin energy was most potent.

In such chaotic times, an unnamed lineage moved quietly, known as the "Xuan Yi Du." Clad in black, they moved like the night, suppressing souls without leaving a name. They sought no salvation, nor did they meddle in the karma of the living, only softening malevolent energies and indifferently observing the lives and deaths of mortals before the world collapsed.

📍 Yin Vein Hotspots

· Paramount Ballroom Nightclub—A dazzling spectacle of power, police, and gangsters, it is also a dangerous place where yang energy and yin energy peak simultaneously.

· Kowloon Walled City—A lawless ruin of the underworld, where the lingering resentment of the Japanese army, sorcerers, and evil cultivators gather.

· Victoria Harbour—A nest of sunken ships and drowned souls, where ancient water malevolence lurks beneath.

· Tung Tau Village Air-Raid Shelter Complex—A mass grave left by the war, so heavy with yin energy that the air itself feels sticky.

Additionally,

· Star Ferry Pier—A hub of mixed crowds where human and water energies clash, occasionally bringing drowned souls ashore with the tide;

· Hollywood Road Antique Street—A mix of genuine and fake, where wartime relics and grave goods mingle, blurring the lines between yin and yang;

· Siu Sai Wan Sports Ground—The open space outside is a place of immense human energy, one of the few spots where one can briefly relax amidst the mundane;

· St. Joseph's Church, Wyndham Street, Central—The alley behind the church has a faint holy water barrier, offering temporary refuge from low-level vengeful spirits;

· Yau Ma Tei Fruit Market Night Market—The edges, where freshness and decay coexist, are suitable for low-level sorcerers and minor demons.

⚔️ Adversarial Forces

· Remnant Sun Society—Collects the resentments of the war dead, attempting to birth an underworld empire;

· Blood Lotus Cult—Uses living sacrifices and sorcery to catalyze vengeful spirits;

· Sunken Abyss Society—Salvages sunken ships and feeds water malevolence;

· And in the deepest reaches, there is the almost mythical Nameless Undertaker's Shop, rumored to seek the complete opening of the Yin Gate.

The seventh lunar month, when the Ghost Gate is wide open, typhoon nights, full moon nights, Qingming Festival, and Chongyang Festival are when vengeful spirits are most active. Most of the living—members of the Hongmen society, detectives, and refugees—cannot see these things. They only feel that the city is becoming increasingly strange—strange with shadows at night that shouldn't be there, strange because some of the dead, before their demise, seemed to have seen something they shouldn't have.

This is Hong Kong from 1945 to 1950.
On the surface, a modern metropolis of rebuilding,
beneath, the shadows of colonialism and damp grotesquerie.
