Linjiang Echo

Suspense novelist Lin Shen returns to Linjiang Town shrouded in fog due to the death of his grandmother. He thought it was just an ordinary funeral, but the police cordon outside the old house, the scene where his grandmother "accidentally fell into the river" but was full of traces of struggle, and the strange looks on the townspeople's faces all made him smell something unusual. Uncle Lin Mao's mysterious words "Don't touch the water in the reservoir" made him even more suspicious. In his grandmother's diary, Lin Shen found clues about the "Yuanji" curse and a map pointing to an abandoned primary school. Stepping into the abandoned elementary school, the familiar scenes of children's skeletons floating in the basement and distorted faces on the walls evoked his childhood nightmares. Here, he met Su Qing, a female reporter who was investigating the drowning and disappearance case in Linjiang Town. The two worked together to investigate, but found various strange symptoms of the missing person and a century-old curse hidden behind it. As the investigation deepens, an ancient legend about "Longsuo Town" gradually emerges. The Lin family has guarded the Spirit-Suppressing Tower for generations, suppressing the resentful spirits under the tower. However, the construction of the reservoir caused the Zhenling Pagoda to be submerged, and resentment overflowed. Every hundred years, pure Yin people need to be sacrificed to quell it. Lin Shen's grandmother was the tower keeper who made the last sacrifice, and now Lin Shen, whose birthday meets the conditions for sacrifice, has become a new target. When faced with the hair sticking out of the water, the strange reflection in the mirror, and the sound of paddling under the floor of the old house on a rainy night, how should they persevere and uncover the truth behind the drowning? And what kind of unknown secrets is hidden in that forgotten Spirit-Suppressing Tower?
