Haunted House Trial Run: A Folk Art Master Mistook Me for a Ghost

Who says you need talismans to catch ghosts? I use physics and psychology! Lu Xun, a top escape-room designer, planned to use mechanisms and special effects to create the perfect hoax, only to encounter a real procession of a hundred ghosts in his own haunted house. At death's door, he was mistaken for a boss monster and thoroughly beaten by a master of traditional arts who had “lived in ancient times.” When [Escape-Room Logic] meets [Mystical Arts], when [Scientific “Hoaxes”] clash with [Classical Traditions], the two worlds' champions are forced to team up, using the most modern thinking to solve the oldest mysteries. It turns out that with a big enough imagination, even evil spirits have to follow the rules!
