"The most painful thing in the world is not the unsettled debt, but the fact that you know you owe something but have to write down the date of your death with your own hands."
Yun Zhao, a college student in accounting, was ordered to go to the remote and isolated Wuyin Town to investigate a financial anomaly twenty years ago. The blood stains on the seventh page of the ledger, the red phantom on the midnight stage, the strange smile of the innkeeper's wife... This rain-soaked town hides darker secrets than the accounts.
◆ Numbers lie, but bloodstains don't
The number "7777.77" That has been repeated for twenty years in the ledger will display "ERROR-7" every time it is calculated. What's even more frightening is that everyone who has touched this page of the ledger has either gone crazy or disappeared.
◆ Taboo performances on the midnight stage
On the abandoned stage, there is always a woman in red dancing in the rain. The locals said that it was Hua Dan who died tragically a hundred years ago, and her resentment is gradually awakening as the audit deepens...
◆ The fatal contract in the inn
The proprietress of the inn is beautiful, but she always fiddles with a bloody abacus late at night. The guests who stay here will eventually become a transaction on her "ledger".
When the truth is washed away by the rain, who is the final sacrifice in this bloody robbery?
A suspenseful and thriller folklore novel that subverts your understanding of "account checking" and takes you into a new realm of Chinese horror - here, the most terrifying thing is not the ghosts, but the debt deep in the human heart that can never be settled.
——Do you dare to come and reconcile? ——
(This book combines Yi folk horror, suspense reasoning, and supernatural elements to reveal a story about revenge, contract, and redemption from a unique "audit thriller" perspective.)
Intention: The real curse is not ghosts and gods, but the ignorance of people's hearts; the real antidote is not spells, but the light of the rule of law. "
