    Reader note

    "Tales of the Strange Road" is an immersive collection of rural ghost stories. The protagonist, Lin Sui, doesn't possess any extraordinary abilities; relying solely on an old notebook, he adheres to the ironclad rule of "witnessing, not interfering." Faced with the absurdity of Jieshou Village and the desolate loneliness of empty houses with remaining lights, he is powerless to break the deadlock and can only observe coldly. The entire book is presented in an episodic format, with a tight pace, weaving together bizarre events with profound depictions of despairing humanity. This sobering sense of powerlessness is more chilling than simple monster-fighting and leveling up—definitely not to be missed!

    Jia Santong leaped from the top of the tomb, eight pieces of stinky tofu spilling from his Taoist robe, which landed precisely on the faces of the transparent figures inside the eight coffins. The figures struck suddenly began to melt, turning into a silvery liquid that flowed towards the center. The little girl screamed and lunged at Qiu Wuyai, the wind whipping up from her red coat carrying the smells of earth and copper. Qiu Wuyai's left hand became completely mirrored, the silvery liquid spreading down his arm. Just before it touched his heart, he suddenly plunged his mirrored left hand into his own chest—no blood splattered, but he pulled out the melted key. The key inserted itself into the floating fragment of bronze mirror, fitting perfectly. "I choose this one." Qiu Wuyai twisted the key sharply, and the fragment snapped in two. Half of the reflection was of an ordinary steamed bun shop, the other half of a perilous tomb. Silver liquid seeped from the cracks, forming the old craftsman's last message in the air: "Mirror is not a mirror, person is not a person, the one who breaks the deadlock..." The tomb shook violently, and the nine coffins closed simultaneously. The little girl's red jacket suddenly faded, turning into ordinary coarse cloth.
