About This Novel
On the first seven nights in western Hunan, strange nursery rhymes echoed in the ancient house. Criminal police captain Chen Xiang'an was ordered to do so when he was in danger, and unexpectedly met the "sociological heroes" Du Yukun and Kang Yuan. The three of them work together to clear up the fog of folklore and weird stories, and discover that everyone in the house has a secret... The legend of manipulating people's hearts is intertwined with an old case from eighteen years ago. Behind the seemingly isolated murder case, there is actually a mysterious ritual involving life as a sacrifice, and the murderer is hiding among people, using ancient customs to cover up Unspeakable selfish desires... From an ancient house in western Hunan to a coastal fishing village, the three men pursue the murderer step by step. They are repeatedly pulled between ghost stories and reality, and finally get a glimpse of the core of the truth: the scary thing is never ghosts and gods, but the unredeemed hatred and obsession in the heart of the human heart. Once they take root, they will swallow everything...
