The Unspeakable

I have a book filled with the things people never dared to say.

My name is Zhang Xu. I've worked in feng shui for ten years.

Everyone who comes to me has encountered something science can't explain:

A "living person's tomb" belonging to a Hong Kong tycoon, with the wandering soul of his biological son buried inside.

A dry well deep in the Daliang Mountains, piled with the bones of dozens of babies.

A reporter beaten to death by an entire village, simply because he wanted to expose the scam behind the "gender-swapping pills."

Everyone says they've been cursed or haunted. But I know the most terrifying things in this world have never been ghosts or evil spirits.

It's the ghosts that live in people's hearts.

It's control disguised as "love."

It's murder wrapped in the sugary coating of "tradition."

It's the silent complicity hidden behind "the common good."

The truths no one can bring themselves to speak, the dead buried in silence: I have recorded them all in this book.

Every page tells of something unspeakable in this world.
