When the bloody oil-paper umbrella blooms on the streets at midnight, the soul of the deceased has been "priced"
Forensic doctor Jiang Xia's scalpel can cut open corpses, but it cannot cut open her own memories that disappear year by year - she has seen the ledger of the Underworld Inn, and the karma of the dead souls is being secretly tampered with. The bronze bell held by the criminal police captain Lu Chen can trace back to the scene of death, but the ferocious Yama tattoo on his back always flashes in the ringing.
A red paper umbrella engraved with "Ksitigarbha Sutra" connects the mystery of "suicide" spanning twenty years. The blue and white porcelain made from the ashes of the funeral parlor, the time loop that traps the entire building, the death bell that spontaneously ignites in the palm of the scorched corpse... Every corpse is a sacrifice to the Feng Shui killing array.
The moment the judge pen penetrated each other's hearts, Jiang Xia understood:
The three thousand times Lu Chen stared at her were the selfish thoughts that King Yama had hidden for thousands of years in the Book of Life and Death.
