**Ximen Guanren** is a student from Xiahou High School who lives a double life as a Gravekeeper guardian and protects normal humans from monsters. Due to his actions and relevance in the series, Ximen Guanren can be considered the deuteragonist.

## Background

Ximen Guanren is born the elder twin brother of Ximen Ruxin in the Gravekeeper main family. Being the firstborn of the current generation of Gravekeepers, he was deemed the family heir and provided with all the privileges with that title. Despite this, he was on good terms with his twin sister.

One day, while the family was treating relatives, the Ximen siblings explored the mountain behind the home for an entire day while playing. When they returned home, the two were thirsty, and after seeing two cups in the room with black liquids in them they immediately drank it, assuming it was cola. The beverages turned out to be American Coffee, causing the two to immediately spit it out due to the bitterness.

Due to being born as twins, the Ximen siblings were extracted blood from them every day for four years since they were six years old in order to achieve **Double Bonding** (两段绑定), which would allow a bonded creature modified with their blood to also spiritually bond with another creature to further insure a Gravekeeper's survivability. When he was six years old, Guanren got a pet chicken, and decided to use the blood to modify the chicken on impulse. When Ruxin found out that her blood was used on the chicken instead of their beloved pet dog Dummy, who she assumed the blood was given to, she violently attacked Guanren. After Dummy died a year later, whenever Ruxin got upset from remembering the pet's death, she would attack Guanren. Feeling guilty, Guanren transferred his authority and power in the family business and in the family senate to Ximen Ruxin. This failed to appease Ruxin, who continued to attack him. One day, having had enough, Guanren struck back, which only further amplified the conflict between the twins to the point where they would try to kill each other whenever they met.

Two years ago, Ximen Guanren transferred to Xiahou High School and became the Student Council's president and Gravekeeper representative in the Department of Night.

## Personality

Under normal circumstances, Ximen Guanren is extremely polite to people, using polite words and polite manners. However, during a battle or when someone calls him a hermaphrodite (most derogatory term to call a Gravekeeper), he will act savagely, start trash talking and literally release all his rage onto that the enemy, which usually doesn't end well for them.

He also has a playful side, as he has been seen teasing Ye Yan about his relationship with Huang Xiaoyan multiple times.

Due to being a Gravekeeper, a special entity that exists between humans and demons, Ximen Guanren naturally gives off an negative vibe, this combined with his appearance easily terrifies or makes people reflexively attack him when he's only trying to greet them or introduce himself.

He is extremely righteous, as shown when he sliced Public Relations Specialist and Champion into pieces when he overheard them threatening Jack.

## Appearance

Ximen Guanren has brown dark hair and hazel eyes, he also has sharp teeth unlike normal humans and a small lock of cowlick. He usually wears a white shirt, black vest and a black (sometimes white) tie. During the Double Devils arc, he wore swim trunks and a white tanktop, he was also seen wearing a black cloak from using his abilities to enter the Underworld. During the Dong Guan arc, he was seen wearing a hospital gown due to being injured during the Double Devils arc.

## Abilities and Powers

**Overall Skill Level**: Being a main family Gravekeeper and having trained since he was young, Ximen Guanren is physically stronger than the average human, capable of ripping a demon apart in just a few seconds.

His most powerful and troublesome ability, however, is his ability to infinitely resurrect himself due to his Spirit Bond with Ximen Chicken. This allows him to recover from fatal attacks, such as getting pierced by Yue Wushuang, stabbed through the heart and sliced through the throat with deadly poison by Jian Tong.

### Techniques

**Undertaker** (送葬者 *Sòng Zàng Zhě*): The ultimate form achievable by a Gravekeeper after demonstrating a sufficient understanding of life and death to an unknown entity. While in this form, a Gravekeeper's skin becomes extremely dark, their hair turns white, and their eyes glow red. The Gravekeeper also gains a significant boost in power and speed, and their ability to enlarge their hands is greatly amplified. Additionally, the Gravekeeper's perception is highly elevated, with even their skin tissue and cells gaining the ability to perceive their surroundings and memorize past injuries. If the Gravekeeper were to think of committing suicide, a blasphemous understanding of death, while in this state, the unknown entity can withdraw their access to the Undertaker form and permanently kill the Gravekeeper. Ximen Guanren attained this form after understanding the concept of social death, giving him permission to use this form from the unknown entity.

**King's Aura** (王霸之气 *Wáng Bà Zhī Qì*): In organisms that live in a group, their genes are coded with two kinds of aura. When necessary the organism with the aura of a leader will emit the aura, causing the other organisms to submit to it. For Ximen Guanran, its effect is usually achieved by making people feel guilty after attacking him. According to him, when Leader's Aura is activated, normal or weak people will submit the moment they look at him in the eyes while strong ones must hurt him first to submit afterwards. The more amount of damage done to him, the more submissive the attacker will feel after encountering him again, to the point where they will kneel before him just from being noticed by him. Due to its effects, this technique is colloquially named "Self-injury Style: King's Aura" (卖血流王霸之气 *Mài Xuè Liú Wáng Bà Zhī Qì*)
