Other name: 至尊先生之金蝉蛊

Description:

Set against the tumultuous backdrop of Republican China, "Mr Zombie" follows the esteemed Master Ho and his two quickwitted disciples. Their journey takes them through bustling provincial cities, where they relentlessly expose cunning fraudsters. These charlatans exploit deep-rooted feudal superstitions and religious cults, preying on innocent villagers with elaborate schemes involving fake curses, spirits, and even fabricated undead creatures. With their sharp intellect and profound knowledge, Master Ho's team skillfully uncovers these deceptions, restoring peace and reason. Yet, their investigations frequently uncover something far more sinister than mere human trickery. As they dismantle one hoax after another, they sometimes find themselves facing genuine supernatural threats, where ancient beliefs manifest into chilling, reanimated dangers. It is then that Master Ho, the true guardian against darkness, must step forward to confront the very real zombies that lurk in the shadows, distinguishing himself from the frauds he exposes.
