The Curio Shop: Strange Tales Beneath the Eaves

In the old alleys of Jiuhe City stands a general store that opens only on rainy days. Its owner is a young man named Shen Yan, who always wears a faded silver bangle on his left wrist. They say it lets him hear the voices of objects that hold evil at bay. These warding objects were left behind by the old generation: a chipped blue-and-white porcelain bowl keeps a water wraith trapped in a well; a polished copper bell locks a shadow wraith against a wall; even the headless stone lion at the entrance to the alley suppresses a plague from a hundred years ago.
