Finally Arrived at the Ruins

… I may be the only living person being "archived" in the folklore archives. The day I was sorting out my grandfather's belongings, I discovered three things: An account book from the Republic of China with "Yongye Theater" written on it. A yellowed theater ticket dated tonight, And in the ashes of the paper he burned, there is a strange shape that should not exist in the world. So, I saw—— A house full of faceless spectators, The female actor on the stage who was smiling ferociously at me, And... "It" sitting at the bottom of the table, wearing his grandfather's clothes. That's my grandfather's face. But his eyes are just holes He slowly turned his head towards me. I had a lucky escape: But this is just the beginning. It's in my blood It was a "blood contract" nine hundred years ago that angered both humans and gods. I am the collateral, the sacrifice, and the common "key" to the seven cursed folk forbidden places. At the crossing of the Yellow River, a stone tablet is inscribed with "Price paid in advance", and countless arms are tearing at the debt under the water; Deep inside the ancient altar, bronze pillars lock the souls of my ancestors from past generations; And in the forest of wordless steles, the last name Being engraved - Chen Yuan. Now, the "Guixu" who lives by devouring human tragedies Wake up. It was looking at me through my grandfather's eyes and whispering: "The last monument keeper..." "Your debt is due." In my hand, all I have left is a blood-stained account book and a rusty copper buckle. Should he sit back and wait to die and become its new collection; or should he reveal the whole truth and burn that ghost thing back into the abyss where it belongs? Seven forbidden areas, seven days countdown. This nine-hundred-year-old sacrifice will be ended by me.
