The Years When I Was a Great Immortal in the Northeast

My name is Chen Mo, an ordinary graduate student with nothing but folklore knowledge. For my graduation thesis, I returned to my hometown in Northeast China and moved into the old house left by my grandfather, Dema Xian. My grandfather was once the most mysterious shaman within a hundred miles, but he passed away mysteriously after leaving a strict order: "Disciples of the Chen family are not allowed to go out." I thought this was just a field investigation away from the hustle and bustle of the city, until when I was sorting out my belongings, my blood accidentally activated my grandfather's belongings - a notebook called "Illustration of White Mountain and Black Water Spirits". "Huang Pizi asks for a seal, and will he take revenge if he doesn't get it?" The picture list lit up, pointing to the bizarre madness that had just occurred at Uncle Li's house in the village. "The knife sharpener in the middle of the night will kill you if he hears the sound?" The catalog was hot and pointed to an unsolved serial disappearance case in the city. This illustrated book did not give me the power to control the situation, but only gave me the rules for "seeing" the truth and my grandfather's lifelong knowledge. When the legend came into reality, I discovered that those "cat-faced old ladies" and "water monkeys" in my childhood shadow were not groundless. In order to protect myself and to find out the real cause of my grandfather's death, I had to go against my ancestors' precepts and step into this strange world that seemed peaceful but had turbulent undercurrents. I am not "acting out", I am "acting out". Each puzzle is a precise deconstruction of an ancient legend. However, as the sins and human hearts behind each ghost story were revealed, I was horrified to discover that there was a pair of invisible hands behind all events. They were using these ancient Northeastern spirits to weave an evil sacrifice that would affect the entire White Mountains and Black Waters... And every step I took was in its calculations.
