Aeromancer Rosalite and Carno, both members of the unrelated Guino clan, take on a case involving a series of murders occurring in 1996 Hong Kong. While the murders appear initially similar to those committed by the Victorian serial killer Jack the Ripper, they are actually being committed by a rival sorcerer and traitor to the Guino clan, Ernest Ram Guino, as a means to divine the future by reading the entrails of the slain girls. Carno prevents Ram's disciple from harming the next victim, a young Filipino maid named Monica, and kills him. Ram and Carno then prepare to fight each other. | |||||
