Duan Mulei, an investigator of folk ghost stories, specializes in exposing supernatural scams.
There is thick fog all year round in Kirigakure Town, and the echo forest hides ancient fears. Telling the truth will bring disaster, but lying will save your life.
He entered the forbidden area to find his missing mentor, but was involved in a sacrifice conspiracy that occurs once every thirty years.
Accidentally acquired a mysterious symbiote, which can distort reality and resist the things in the forest by lying.
The more subtle the lie, the more reality will be arranged by him; when the truth is spoken, the pain will be as severe as a knife cutting one's throat.
Others are afraid of silence, so he talks a lot and fights his way out of fear.
When an entire town is indentured servitude, he has rewritten the rules with lies.
He will eventually tear through the fog and become the only one to walk out of the Echo Forest alive.
