[Villain Protagonist + Evil God Behind the Scenes + Emotionless + Ruthless + Desperate Urban Horror]
A bone-chilling urban legend has recently been circulating in Jiangling City.
If your life has sunk into the mire and you have nowhere left to turn, try calling out to the black jade coffin beneath the earth late at night, facing a water stain or a mirror.
As long as you offer your blood and swear a pact with the dead, the coffin’s master will grant any request.
“Make the people who bullied me pay!” The next day, three bullies mysteriously drown in a drained, abandoned swimming pool, their lungs filled with black water.
“Make sure he can never hit me again!” That night, the arms of a wife-beater are forcibly snapped inch by inch in midair, his screams shaking the heavens.
“Let me live. Let them die…” A dying girl receives a blessing, and a human trafficking den runs red with blood overnight.
People driven to the brink believe a merciful god has finally answered their prayers. They have no idea they have awakened an utterly evil corpse-born creature, sealed away for 2,400 years.
The coffin’s master delivers the suffering that the gods will not.
But the price of a granted wish is a bowl of heart’s blood on the fifteenth of every month.
Dare to break the pact?
Everything you were given will rebound upon you a hundredfold, and he will crawl up from beneath the earth himself to collect your corpse!
…
My name is Shen Yan. Two thousand four hundred years ago,
the four great feng shui clans sought eternal life. They drove bronze corpse-pinning nails into me while I was still alive, sealed me inside a black jade coffin, and buried me beneath a Nine Yin Lock Yang formation, hoping to refine me into an artifact that would bring immortality to their clans.
They waited aboveground for two thousand years, believing they could control everything, biding their time until they could open the coffin and divide up my body.
They had no idea that the resentment, greed, and blood of the desperate people filling this modern city had long since become the perfect fuel for me to break free of my seal.
