When Nuo faces swallow up not only ghosts and gods, but also human nature——
In Wuyin Village in western Hunan, deep underground where witchcraft and Nuo have been suppressed for thousands of years, the old ruler "The Mother of Thousand Eyes" is awakening from her slumber.
Chen Yan, the successor of Nuo opera, puts on an ancestral mask to save his loved ones, but swallows the first mouthful of indescribable flesh and blood. The scales on his right arm grew wildly, the pocket watch of the Republic of China emerged from the corpse wax, and the sacrificed boy from a hundred years ago opened his eyes of quantum entanglement in the corpse spots.
Villagers carve wriggling statues after dark, the forensic autopsy table oozes bronze rust, and the broken Nokia machine plays the cry that spans a century. When the fusion of Nuo noodles exceeded the critical level, Chen Yan saw himself in the illusion - the son of Wu Nuo who was buried in the tomb in 1913, and a living container on the verge of alienation in 2023.
- Shen Jiuli: The left eye is embedded with the pupil of the outer god, and the obsession with resurrection tears apart the anchor point of time and space;
- Lin Chan: Before the collapse of scientific belief, he pierced the Cthulhu compass into the heart of his lover;
- Acai: The flesh-and-blood body of the puppet witch split into two halves amid the whispers and love of the mother goddess.
Devouring thousands of eyes and transforming into an inhuman god?
Peel off the mask and gamble on the annihilation of civilization?
When the wings of flesh and blood tore open the roof of the ancestral hall, Chen Yan's fangs had bitten the last fragment of humanity——
"Remember how much you eat of yourself."
In the closed loop of time, all redemption is another kind of sacrifice.
