The School Cemetery Office at the Medical College 医学院里的校墓处
Supernatural + campus horror + strange tales from a bygone era + folk magic + crime-solving In 1996, I enrolled in medical school. In the campus's northwest corner stood a sealed-off west annex, known among the students as the School Cemetery. Disappearances, madness, hanging... Every tragedy pointed to an anatomy lesson plan from the Republic of China era. I never believed in the supernatural, until a girl came to me: “You’re the only one who can break the curse.” I broke into the building l

I've seen too many lonely spirits trapped in corners, unable to move on, and too many people hell-bent on harming others. Sometimes I can't tell whether I'm imagining it in the throes of a psychotic episode or witnessing something real. The truth is far darker than fiction. “Absurd” is the only word for it.

If they do, what were they doing during the century of humiliation our Chinese nation endured? Did they really just stand by and watch the land of Jiuzhou engulfed in war, with its people plunged into misery? The first few chapters may not be very good, so I recommend skipping ahead and reading the later chapters.
