Deep in the Qinling Mountains of the Northwest lies a century-old village shaped like a coffin: Resurrection Village.
My name is Huo Xiaoyu. From the moment I was born, I was chosen as the twelfth virgin to be sacrificed to an evil god.
My parents tried to save me by fleeing the mountains with me. But when I was eight, my grandfather, Huo Gangzheng, and the clan burned them alive. I was dragged back to the village, and my memories were sealed away.
Grandfather lied, saying that “spirit creatures” hunted people outside the village and that I had to wear a talisman pendant to stay alive.
But every year on the anniversary of their deaths, I dream of my parents crying out, “Xiaoyu, don't believe them! Run!”
When I was twelve, the sacrificial ceremony drew near. I wandered into a mass grave and encountered Ah Hua, a woman in red. My talisman shattered, and my sealed memories came roaring back!
The truth was that the Huo and Fu clans were remnants of a century-old cult. Generation after generation, they had sacrificed young girls to resurrect their dead leader.
Auntie A Wang's daughter was the previous sacrifice. She had endured it all in silence for years, swearing to take revenge.
Beneath the ancestral hall's altar, an evil coffin lay dormant. Every man, woman, and child in the village was an accomplice.
Flames, incantations, vengeful spirits, mudslides...
I'll fake my death to disrupt the ritual, and bury their century-old scheme once and for all beneath the Dragon Vein!
