No one knows that Lin Buyu, a folklore graduate student who is so meek and almost dull, holds two deadly secrets: a pair of yin and yang eyes that can directly see the souls of the dead, and a mysterious notebook filled with taboo symbols written by his grandfather.
He just wanted to keep the secret secret and graduate, but he was entangled in the late-night rumors about life in the dormitory building - an urban anecdote that others took as a joke, that the dead soul was grabbing his ankles and crying for help; he wanted to hide, but he was pushed into the haunted house to fight evil spirits, and he had to deal with the century-old feud between South Mao and Bei Ma.
But the worst twist came: he was never the unlucky guy who was forced into the game! His life experience is a chess game that has been left behind for hundreds of years by the "Trick Gate", his Yin and Yang Eyes are a contract that has been made long ago, and his grandfather's handwriting is the bait that lures him into the game. The monstrous storm that swept through the supernatural world was never approaching, but was waiting for him, the "chosen chess piece", to ignite the detonating fuse with his own hands from the moment he opened his eyes and saw the first ghost...
A good book, worth reading
