The lone wolf in the Six Gates hunts many heads, and possesses the magic of "empathic retrospection". He can use the last moment of the deceased to see the truth buried in blood.
The price is that every time he touches the corpse, the fear and pain of the deceased pour into his bones and blood like a tide, eroding his mind day and night.
A tongue-pulling case in a pig-killing alley leads to an old case from twenty years ago. Half of the burnt list swallowed into the corpse's throat, a back molar falling into the palm of the deceased, and the curse-like words "please die" - the mountains followed the clues, from the capital to the north, from western Hunan to Jiangling, step by step into a chess game with the world as the board and the people's hearts as the pieces.
The banned book "Record of Awakening the World", the token of Medog, the book of water transport crimes under the Water Gate, the fragrance of smiling faces in Nanxiang Palace, the silver bell for summoning souls on the snowfield... Every case is like a knife, gouging out in the same direction - his father, Lian Ruhui, who has been missing for twenty years. Everyone said he was dead.
But in those cases, even obscure handwriting, old objects, and even shadows continue to emerge from the darkness.
Lianshan is not investigating the case. He was chasing an answer that had been laid out for him twenty years ago.
But deep down in the truth lies the ending of "asking you to die".
Some debts require blood to repay, and some doors require life to open.
