Background / History
Wei Wushuang is a thirty-eight-year-old Demon-Suppressing Guard lieutenant who has guarded Jiangbei City for many years. He commands substantial authority within the bureau, including private housing and exceptional benefits associated with the lieutenant rank. 3
During the raid on a Sinking Cult coffee-shop hideout, he ordered a full assault after the cultists refused to surrender and deployed bombs. He personally defeated the cult protector Bai Jiaming, captured him, and discovered that the purported Holy Son was a decoy. 3
After Mei Ye killed a cultist during the operation, Wei recognized his potential, discovered that he had reached the ninth layer of the Body Tempering Realm, and recruited him into his directly subordinate Second Team. He gave Mei the Evil-Suppressing Demon-Subduing Art ahead of schedule and authorized him to investigate the Dog Demon attack that killed his companions. 4
Wei later clashed with Mei over the killing of Deng Bai, fearing retaliation from the politically connected Qilin Dragon Group. He ordered Mei to apologize to the group’s chairman, but withdrew the immediate confrontation when the bureau was called to Big Stone County for flood relief and rat extermination. 9 10
During the Sinking Cult’s attempt to seize the Qing Dynasty zombie, Wei fought Huo You and defeated him, though the cult ultimately escaped with the zombie’s head. Afterward, he investigated Tian Mao’s desertion, confirmed the accusation through surviving witnesses, and executed him under frontline rules. 13 15
The Sinking Cult’s subsequent raid on bureau headquarters—freeing prisoners and extracting the captured Holy Son—left Wei under severe political pressure. Concluding that the bureau needed capable younger personnel, he chose to further invest in Mei’s development while deliberately withholding his own martial arts to temper Mei’s arrogance and preserve the internal political balance. 16
Appearance
Wei Wushuang is a bearded man in his prime fighting years. In the aftermath of the battle with Huo You, his clothing was tattered, his muscles visibly bulged, and his eyes were bloodshot. 3 15
- Thirty-eight years old. 3
- Maintains a composed, grandmaster-like bearing after victory. 3
- Later appears exhausted, with an unbuttoned collar and heavy dark circles after prolonged interrogations and political pressure. 16
Personality
Wei is forceful, proud, and accustomed to command. He reacts intensely to resistance from enemies and subordinates alike, displaying visible fury when the Holy Son proves false and when Mei refuses to submit to the Qilin Dragon Group. 3 9
He is also politically pragmatic. Wei is willing to credit the mayor publicly, worries about the bureau’s standing and powerful local interests, and initially measures Mei’s usefulness partly through his ability to fit the existing hierarchy. 3 9 16
Despite these flaws, Wei values talent and battlefield merit. He repeatedly recognizes Mei’s potential, offers him resources and promotion, acknowledges his efforts after the zombie operation, and resolves to cultivate younger guards after the headquarters raid exposes the bureau’s failures. 4 15 16
Wei enforces discipline without leniency when he believes it is necessary for the unit. He personally executes Tian Mao for desertion after corroborating the charge. 15
