Complete Book of Ghosts 1: Ghost Contract

[Credit Knife Man + Hundred Soul Sword + Suspense and Supernatural + Folk Magic + No Female Protagonist] [I will lend you a knife. The day the prophecy comes true will be the day when you repay the debt a hundredfold. My name is Mo Qianrui, and I am the last person in the world who borrows knives on credit. Before Master left, he buried a knife in a mass grave and asked me to dig it out, saying that it was my life. The knife is called the "Hundred Soul Knife", and it is as rusty as a fire stick, but it specializes in swallowing evil spirits. Every time it swallows one, the rust is reduced by one point. I originally thought that I could make a living by buying knives on credit, telling fortunes in the city, and thinking about how to pass on our profession. But ever since I took this knife, weird things haven't stopped—— The corpse in the funeral home was missing a finger in the middle of the night, and the wounds were as neat as leaves falling off; A rotten cat-faced girl smiled at me from a closed floor of a commercial building; There are fresh human body fragments buried under the flower mud of the hotel, and the bright red mandala is dripping with blood; A ghost bus appeared out of thin air at midnight, carrying a busload of long-dead kindergarten children; And the ancient mirror that allows people to exchange souls with their parasitic twins... Now, I hold the life-threatening Hundred Soul Knife in my left hand. In front of me are endless evil spirits seeking life, and behind me are the mammoth aristocratic families whose layout covers the whole city. This knife is easy to get on credit. But what will it take to repay the contract made by this ghost?
