SOUL BEAT

The deeper the obsession runs, the deeper the demon burrows into flesh—until anyone can become a monster.

Xing is an antiques appraiser who can read an object’s memories through touch. But his debts have turned him into a tool for Black, a ruthless crime boss. Black smuggles in an ancient coffin to sell the mask hidden inside for a huge price. When Liao, one of Black’s low-level men, puts on the mask, he wakes the evil spirit inside it—and slowly turns into a monster. Forced to get the mask back, Chen fights the spirit, and along the way he finally sees the cage he built around himself with lies and disguises. Caught between saving a life and taking the money, he chooses someone other than himself for the first time.
