The Paper Effigy Shop: The Figures I Make Can Catch Ghosts

There were no ghosts in the world to begin with. The more people believe in them, the more real they become! In truth, human hearts are a hundred times more sinister than evil ghosts. Every ghost was driven into being by people. My family’s paper effigy shop is so poor it’s about to close. My ancestors passed down three ironclad rules: never make an effigy in the likeness of a living person, never make one in the likeness of the dead, and never make one of anyone named by a customer. To make ends meet, I had to break our ancestral rules, and unexpectedly awakened a bloodline ability. Using blood as a guide and fire as a medium, I can burn paper into lifelike forms. Every paper effigy I make can become a living creature and a powerful weapon against evil. One sheet of paper can guide a soul to the afterlife; one can slay evil spirits. But even if I can guide a hundred ghosts across, I can’t rid people’s hearts of every wicked thought. When the Nine Evils of the mortal world begin to corrupt the Yin Coffin, the truth behind the secret sealed away for centuries in the paper effigy shop is finally revealed. Vengeful ghosts, zombies, evil men: just watch how I take you all down!
