Qing Deng Yin: Urban Strange Stories

In the neon-lit old town of Jinnan City, bizarre "strange deaths" have occurred one after another - the deceased did not have any external injuries, but repeatedly murmured "Here comes the green lantern" before dying. A light blue lantern-shaped pattern is burned on the inside of the wrist, as if it was burned by invisible flames. Shen Che, a former folklore researcher, was forced to break away from seclusion because of the "Secret Scroll of Green Lanterns" that his family had guarded for generations. He met the mysterious woman Su Wan next to the first mysterious corpse. She carries a thousand-year-old bronze lamp with her. The wick will light up when encountering "treacherous energy" and can illuminate the last "afterimage" of the deceased. As the investigation deepens, Shen Che discovers that the case is closely connected with his grandfather's "accidental drowning" twenty years ago, the "Twelve Lampstands" buried underground in the old city, and a thousand-year ritual aimed at "awakening the evil lamp". He not only wants to solve the puzzles in the "light and shadow resonance" every night to prevent the whole city from becoming a "feeding ground" for the evil lanterns, but also protects the deep love that grew up with Su Wan on the edge of life and death - deep in the blood of the two people, there is a "lantern inducing contract" that only the other can activate, and also the ultimate answer to this catastrophe.
