Death and Resurrection

The red candles in the ancestral hall were burning strangely, and the dark red candle tears spread like blood stains on the blue bricks. Former detective Lin Yang fell into memories in a coma - the pursuit on a rainy night, the departure of his partner, the suspect's blade and the darkness of falling off the cliff. The unwillingness to die has not dissipated. But the ancestral hall in front of me has long been distorted into a strange place: the one enshrined is not a local god, but Estraea, the goddess of justice in Greek mythology. The statue opened its eyes and spoke, announcing that a death game with "rebirth" as the bet has begun.
