A copper coin engraved with strange runes is both a key and a curse.
Lin Zhao returned home for the funeral, but entered a terrifying reincarnation that lasted for hundreds of years. The old locust tree sheds tears on the moonlit night, and buried under the incense ashes is a soul-destroying contract written with the blood of a virgin. The mother's strange smile on her deathbed and the truth behind her father's mysterious disappearance all point to the depths of the forbidden mountain in the north of the town called "Ghost Viewing Sorrow" - the Gate of Guixu.
The Year of Jiazi is approaching, the earth's veins are restless, and the Yin Gate is wide open. The copper coin around his neck burned his blood, revealing a terrifying identity: the gatekeeper. This is not glory, but a curse that has been carried for generations. It is a sacrifice that is coveted by all the ghosts in "Guixu".
When cries rang out in the middle of the night, when living people turned into walking corpses, when the secrets of the entire Qingshi Town were peeled away layer by layer in blood... Only then did Lin Zhao understand that the so-called "soul-suppressing" was just a sorcery fed with the flesh and blood of living people. And he must step into the all-devouring abyss of Guixu, find the lost authentic copy of "Soul of Souls" and solve the mystery of "Qi Ming" before becoming the next sacrifice. Otherwise, the world will become a hell where ghosts roam at night.
This is not only an escape, but also a journey of exploration toward death. Under the strange mask of folk customs, in the terrifying labyrinth of flesh and blood, can he tear apart fate and get a glimpse of the ultimate truth behind the world?
