The faceless female body was fished out of the Yellow River, with a piece of yellow paper with my name in her mouth.
I am Chen Du, the last person to ferry souls across the Yellow River. My ancestral craft is to retrieve the corpses of those who died unjustly in the Yellow River, to ferry over souls, and to settle the injustices.
One night, the freezer in the morgue was fully opened, and the female corpse held my wrist tightly. I heard her last words before she died——
"Yellow River is awake, and human sacrifice is about to begin."
The cries of mourning at the abandoned ferry, the iron bull who dug out his eyes, the Yellow River clay paper that predicted death, and the bizarre murders all point to the human sacrifice that was buried in the Yellow River a hundred years ago.
I was specially hired as a paranormal consultant by the Municipal Criminal Investigation Detachment. I worked side by side with the Crime Team, looking for clues from the remains of the deceased and solving mysteries in folk taboos.
I can overcome thousands of resentful souls in the Yellow River, but I cannot overcome the heinous blood debt a hundred years ago.
This time, I will let all the dead in vain rest in peace, and let the evildoers deserve what they deserve!
