A Paper Effigy Maker Who Sacrificed His Five Senses from the Start

I sacrificed my five senses to make paper effigies, but ended up creating the most terrifying monster in the world.

The paper effigy came to life, and from that day on, I could no longer taste whether something was salty or bland.

After my sense of taste came my hearing, smell, sight...

But little by little, I realized that the senses I’d lost let me “smell” things ordinary people couldn’t see.

The Flower Cave Maidens of western Hunan weren’t brides claimed by a mountain god. They were buried alive.

The porcelain beauties of Jiangxi weren’t marvels of kiln transformation. They were made of human bones.

The drowned dead rising again in the Yellow River weren’t water ghosts come to claim lives. They were part of a warlord’s “living corpse” formation.
