The Mystery of Mirror Abyss: the Logician's Conspiracy

Lu Chen, a former FBI criminal profiler, returned to China due to a bizarre "mirror murder case" and opened a studio that provides logical analysis for special cases. He believed that "there is logic behind all weirdness, and all fear comes from information gaps" until he received a commission from "Jingyuan Ancient Town" - the client claimed that in a century-old house deep in the ancient town, a woman's cry would be heard every midnight, and the intruder would see "another self" within three days, and then die mysteriously. In order to solve the mystery, Lu Chen went to Jingyuan Ancient Town, but at the gate of the ancient house, he met Su Qingyuan, a folklore researcher who also came to explore the truth. Su Qingyuan mastered the century-old legend about the ancient house: the owner of the house was a clockmaker in the late Qing Dynasty. Because his wife cheated on her, he imprisoned her in the mirror room and used a special "shadow-eating mirror" to suck away his wife's soul. Since then, the ancient house has been haunted by the "ghost spirit in the mirror". Lu Chen used logic to dismantle the contradictions in the legend, while Su Qingyuan used folklore knowledge to supplement the historical background. During the terrifying exploration, the two gradually discovered that the strange events in the ancient house were not caused by simple ghosts, but by someone using folklore.
