Awakening to the Supernatural: My Doll Is Terrifying!

The Hundred Crafts Pavilion Puppet House Five years. She struggled to survive in the cracks of this ancient city, which seemed peaceful and prosperous on the surface, but was rife with lurking demons and quietly breeding horrors. She had never imagined that she would one day have to use mechanisms to subdue evil spirits. Now, after spending all her savings, she had finally managed to buy this little shop on a corner of the market district, where every inch of land was worth a fortune and the Exorcism Bureau stood nearby. [Grand opening successful. System officially activated.] Yan Youjun’s heart gave a sudden squeeze, but her expression remained calm. Only the fingertips hanging at her side curled almost imperceptibly. It’s here! The strange sensation she had felt in her midnight dreams for the past five years had finally taken shape! All this time, the System had only taught her how to make puppets. She had to learn every step of the puppet-making process and open a puppet shop of her own before the System would officially activate. Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Qian, Xing... The Daoist Nine-Syllable Mantra had become the ranks of a puppet master! Puppets were ranked by grade, with Grade Nine at the bottom and Grade One at the top. The vengeful ghost had fully formed! And its resentment was far deeper than expected! Yan Youjun’s heart tightened. Her left hand formed a complex hand seal, spiritual light flickering at her fingertips. In her right hand, she gripped an ebony sealing puppet, its freezing, bone-piercing suction force, and slammed it hard against the vengeful ghost’s brow, where crimson flames of resentment burned! “Myriad Paths of the Netherworld: Seize the Soul, Seal the Spirit! By my command!” Voom! The ebony puppet shuddered violently! The dark golden threads of energy across its surface suddenly lit up, like veins brought to life! A deep crimson light burst from the puppet’s empty eye sockets, instantly devouring the vengeful ghost’s soul, which had been on the verge of dissipating!
