The Paranormal Case Files: Pawnshop No. 13

To save Mist Harbor from being consumed by the eldritch gods, Lin Xun signs a contract with the Faceless Boss and becomes the Thirteenth Pawnshop’s “corpse collector,” tasked with suppressing haunted objects and altering memories. But his younger sister Lin Nian’s soul has been made into a vessel, and every time the cycle restarts, Mist Harbor’s history is rewritten. As his investigation deepens, Lin Xun discovers that his true identity is the “source of the eldritch laws,” and that the cycle itself is the price of his failed attempt to suppress them. The traitor Lin Yuan tries to devour him and awaken as an eldritch god. Blood and tears seep from the Faceless Boss’s cracked face, while Lin Nian’s “law of oblivion” becomes the key to breaking the deadlock. Amid mounting crises of mirrored cycles, memory mazes, and backlash from the Other Shore, Lin Xun must choose between destroying himself and becoming one with the eldritch gods, while uncovering the bloody origin behind Mist Harbor’s cycle. Will he accept eternal imprisonment, or devour everything and rewrite the eldritch laws?
