Protagonist: Chen Mo
Identity: A half-hearted supernatural writer (to facilitate the explanation of his subsequent application of knowledge).
Personality: Rational, curious, and inquisitive, but also vulnerable and struggling in the face of absolute terror.
Core transformation: In the "Mirror Eclipse" incident, his left eye changed due to looking at the evil spirit in the mirror. From then on, he could see the world of yin and yang and see through evil illusions. This is not a gift, but the beginning of the coexistence of curse and power.
Key supernatural characters (source of horror):
The main spirit in the mirror, "Painted Skin", is based on the overwhelming resentment of "Hong Shao", a famous opera troupe who was skinned alive in the early years of the Republic of China. It can peel off the "face" (identity, destiny, luck) of others to repair itself, longing to return to the world.
The spirit bound in the old mansion: Hidden in the broken wooden box in the attic is the soul of a boy named "Little Shuanzi" from the Republic of China. He is an insider of old cases in the mansion. He sometimes asks for help and sometimes warns through dreams, moving objects, etc., And is a key clue figure.
"Night Watchman" Lao Zhou: The taciturn retired watchman in the community is actually the inheritor of folk magic that has guarded this place for generations. He had already seen everything, and watched with cold eyes in the early stage, and became Chen Mo's guide and tester in the mid-term.
