At midnight, train K138.
After the old man carved "Don't open your eyes, don't make a sound, don't breathe" on the car window with his nails,
The neck was twisted 180 degrees and fell silently.
Folklore graduate student Shen Zhiwei survived the train with an extra book in his backpack
A blue book that automatically writes rules - "Folklore Book".
From the river temple on the bank of the Yellow River to the paper man village in the hinterland of western Hunan;
The revenant drama is re-enacted every night from the abandoned stage,
Go to the altar with forty-three coffins carved underground in the ancient city——
She brought along a silent special soldier, a poisonous college student,
A stubborn paper maker and an injured former agent,
Traveled through most of China.
They don't rely on magic, they don't rely on luck——
Just rely on a book that can "grow" and a determination to fight to the end.
Later, someone asked Shen Zhiwei: "What exactly is folk will?"
She said——
"It is a projection of humanity's collective subconscious.
It is the sum of rules that everyone believes in together.
Yes - a bridge. We use it to understand ourselves. "
Later she added:
"But some people want to turn it into a wall."
"Rules are meant to be understood, not obeyed."
This is Shen Zhiwei's creed.
And she will spend half her life proving that——
The real rules are not shackles, but the bridge connecting the past and the future.
