When the world is like purgatory, ghosts and monsters are just returning guests.
When Chen Yanzhou was talking about folklore in class, he asserted: "Ghosts? Even if there are ghosts, they won't hurt you, but people can. What you should be afraid of is not ghosts, but scary people!"
But when he came to Shuitang Village to collect funeral songs, he encountered that the villagers tacitly concealed the truth about drownings every year for the sake of tourism profits.
The water ghost dragged the girl's body to the surface, but the villagers on the shore only smiled and raised their glasses: "Sacrifice to the gods, there has to be a price."
When the water ghost's cold hands grasped Chen Yanzhou's ankle, blood words suddenly appeared in the ancestral diary:
"They were watching me being dragged down... And laughing."
