There is a paper-making shop in Luoyan Town called Duyuanzhai, which has been passed down for countless generations.
There is a rule in the shop: the eyes are painted on the paper figurine last, and it is called "consecration" after the painting. The illuminated paper figurine is no longer just paper, it carries the soul of the deceased for a period of forty-nine days. At the end of the period, the soul disperses and the deceased enters reincarnation.
If someone violates the taboos of the deceased within forty-nine days, the soul's breath will turn into a paper man, from the bearer to the hunter. This is called "paper evil".
On the twenty-sixth day of Shendu, I worked in graphic design in the provincial capital for three years, but was revised by Party A to doubt my life. After receiving the news of my grandfather's death, I returned to Luoyan Town to inherit the shop. He thought he was just making a living by making paper and selling it, but on the first day he had his eyes painted, the paper man's eyes rolled.
Then came the butcher No. 7, The paper man was discharged from the hospital with a knife; in front of the midwife, the paper man's chest split open and a new face grew; in three months, seven people died, four families violated taboos, and the souls of three families were stolen. Someone secretly used the soul-stealing technique to take away the scattered fragments of souls, and fed them to something that had been sealed for forty years.
There are five levels of Zhi evil: You Zhi, Zhi Sha, Zhi Li, Zhi misfortunes, and Zhi Yan.
The last one, Paper Yama - the paper god who merged with paper demons into independent will, never appeared.
But someone is making it.
The ancestral injunction of Duyuanzhai is engraved on the back of the door lintel, which can only be seen after closing the door: Only crossing does not kill.
Every paper demon was once a living person. Shen Du had no choice between solving the evil or destroying it, crossing the soul or killing someone. His grandfather had sealed the situation for forty years and could no longer seal it.
The darkness on his fingertips is getting darker day by day, which is the cost of the rebirth technique that consumes Yangshou. He was afraid, but he didn't stop.
Paper comes back to life, and soul comes back to people. Watanabe Saito never
