About This Novel

My name is Chen Yanqing and I am a forensic doctor. My job is to use a scalpel to listen to the unspoken truths of corpses. But in my "toolbox", there is also a "Baiyikao Fragment" passed down by my grandfather, which records various ancient folklore phenomena intertwined with modern death. The wax corpse of the river god's wife, the formation with silver bells tied to the feet, the bloodstains of the soul sealed in the mirror room... Every cruel crime scene is carefully disguised as ancient taboos and legends. I know that it is just the murderer trying to cover up the evil thoughts of the world with the help of the mist of superstition. My duty is to cut through this layer of fog: use a microscope to analyze the source of the soil used in "witchcraft", use poison detection to decipher the essence of the "curse", and reversely draw the murderer's knowledge map and psychological map from every detail that goes against common sense. I firmly believe that all abnormalities must have scientific explanations. Until I discovered clues about my father's death in the line of duty in a series of serial crimes committed using intangible cultural heritage techniques, as well as a secret organization called "Bajimen" that claims to be the "guardian of tradition." They steal and twist ancient wisdom into the perfect criminal tool. Today, I stand in the "folk museum" they carefully built, surrounded by the tarnished memories of civilization. My scalpel will no longer only dissect the flesh, but also cut through the fog between awe and ignorance, inheritance and crime. The truth may lie in the forgotten ancient languages spoken by the next corpse. And my mission is to let those truly precious heritages return to the world instead of being buried with sin.
