[Republican Era, Rituals, Folk Customs, Infinite Slaughter!]
Burn incense to ask the spirits for a path. Step the ritual patterns and knock on the gates of the underworld. Paint yin-yang markings on your face and summon the Chief of the Divine Generals.
Republican-era Hong Kong.
Demons, ghosts, shadow altars, and wicked rituals wreak havoc upon the world!
When Chen Zhao awoke, someone was painting gold lacquer on his face. His hands and feet were nailed inside a shrine, while the villagers knelt outside, all chanting in welcome to the Great Black Buddha Mother.
Once she had received incense offerings from a hundred households, the Buddha Mother would use his body to descend and be reborn.
As the first incense stick was placed in the burner, a gulping sound came from behind Chen Zhao.
When the second stick was lit, something inside the shrine began calling his name.
The third stick was just about to be placed--
A gong rang out, and all the incense smoke in the hall bent toward the door.
A white crane carried a lantern. The Generals of Increase and Decrease descended to the altar.
An official-general's mask, painted by no human hand, appeared on Chen Zhao's face.
A Divine Register unfolded from that moment on.
Every evil spirit he suppressed completed another divine visage and let him summon a new deity to possess him!
From the evil temples of Hong Kong to the ghost villages of Lingnan, then to a homebound ship packed with the dead.
Chen Zhao stepped through ritual patterns, opening the way as he knocked on each door. "Behold, the gods descend into the world! Evil spirits and demons, come forth to face your judgment and die!"
The White Crane Acolyte led the way, while the Generals of Increase and Decrease carried out the punishment.
On this journey, he would kill, never redeem!
