[Micro thriller + single female protagonist + unlimited streaming]
"Sign a contract of narrow escape and enter my Wujian Theater -" In the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the ghost gate opens, and the ancient theater suddenly appears between the yin and yang. Chen Yan and other five people are forced to become "actors", wearing Nuo masks with their own secrets, and are involved in a series of horrific performances where their lives are at stake.
The scholar's face of the doctor of folklore can break taboo symbols, the night watchman's face of the funeral parlor's makeup artist can communicate with the souls of the dead, the judge's face of the retired criminal policeman is good at distinguishing lies, the Tsing Yi face of the opera student can calm the resentful spirits, and the listening face of the mute boy can hear the sounds of all things. From the fifth footsteps in the columbarium of the Republic of China, to the blood-colored betrothal letters of urban ghost marriages, from the living piles hiding corpses on the bridge piers, to the mirrored murder on the 13th floor, every performance hides folk secrets and historical resentments.
The "spectators" in the darkness peered into the audience. The leader of the group wearing a gold mask held life and death in his hands, and the family secrets of each of the five people were closely intertwined with the century-old grudges of the theater. Only by abiding by the ritual rules can we survive, and only by uncovering the truth of cause and effect can we be saved. Should we complete nine performances and abandon our souls to return home, or should we face the ultimate Nuo sacrifice and rewrite the rules? This terrifying feast that spans Yin and Yang has long been destined for no one to escape unscathed.
Reader comments
The Chinese-style horror is very good, the Nuo setting is eerie and atmospheric, the folk taboos are intertwined with the unit cases, and the group portraits are vivid and full of arcs. There is human torture hidden in the fear, and the main plot is dense with foreshadowing. The more you read, the more you get hooked. It is worth staying up late to catch up!
