There has been a lot of panic in the capital recently.
Someone's appearance changed drastically overnight and she became a beauty that would captivate the whole country, but the next day she fell on the street, her body turned into pus, blood and withered bones, not even a whole body was left behind.
What's even more evil is that the butcher's son, who was originally vulgar and ugly, suddenly turned white and beautiful. He was always haunted by dark shadows in the middle of the night and had strange dreams every night. Before he could escape, he died at the gate of Dali Temple. Even his gender changed.
My name is Shen Ci, and I am the head of the Dali Temple's Secret Crime Department. Secret cases that others cannot solve must be handed over to me in the end.
I thought it was just a series of evil cases, but after following the clues, I found out about the inconspicuous Qing'an Temple in the western suburbs. Four black pillars stand in the center of the ancestral hall, specifically picking out those who think they are ugly, using a peerless face as bait to eat away their lives and essence.
The leader of the cult wearing a bronze mask, embroidered with a black mandala as a token, and the long-lost evil ritual techniques, one by one, are more sinister than the spirits in the mountains and more terrifying than the ghosts at night.
The panicked voice of the government servant came to my ears again: "Sir, there is another mystery!"
I tightened my grip on the sword at my waist with a cold expression on my face.
It doesn't matter what magic rituals or ghosts are at work, as long as it is in my hands, Shen Ci, I will get to the bottom of it and protect the people of this capital, so that they will no longer be bewitched by this false beauty and lose their lives.
