The Road of the Dead

Niu Dali is dead! He died that evening!

The sight of the water ghost dragging him beneath the lake that day was etched deep in Wang Fu's memory, impossible to forget...

His name is Wang Fu... When he was fifteen, his next-door neighbor, Wang Dali, was dragged into the lake by a water ghost right before his eyes. From then on, they belonged to opposite worlds: Wang Fu among the living, Niu Dali among the dead.

Wang Fu had never believed in ghosts or gods, but that moment shattered everything he thought he knew... Then the water ghost leapt onto the shore and came after him!

Without a second thought, he ran for his life!

She chased, he fled, and he had nowhere to run!

A century-old water ghost launches a thunderous pursuit. A storm of lightning sweeps over the rat people. He beats up a sixty-year-old man and learns his true origins. His wife sleeps in a coffin... (Still collecting the pieces.)
