Come Late to Hear the News

Lin Wan, a graduate student in folklore, runs the account "Late to Listen". She originally wanted to rely on netizens' submissions to complete a paper on "Tracing the Origin of Urban Supernatural Folklore", but she was dragged into the whirlpool by a series of bizarre incidents - under the old locust tree, the updo of her great-grandfather's ghost hidden in the bun of the Republic of China; in the 240-yuan low-rent house, the faceless black figure turned out to be the bones in the wall and the old secrets of the prison. With her social clumsiness, she crashed into the investigation site of criminal investigation captain Chen Luo's "supernatural crime report", and met the architectural designer He Ziji who used drawings to dismantle a "haunted" space trap. The three people are bound by the riddles of the Republic of China connected by the "JX" mark. From the Morse code in Huaishu Village, to the bones in the wall of the prison dormitory, to the "white ghost in the old hospital in the west of the city" notice coming from the dark, every "folklore vision" is carefully laid out by someone. When academic research collided with the logic of criminal investigation, and when historical secrets were wrapped in supernatural clothes, Lin Wan discovered that what she collected was not ghost stories, but the truth that had been buried for decades, and the guiding hands behind her were waiting for them to uncover the last mystery of "the appearance of the bronze mirror" - after all, some "ghosts" have always been hidden in people's obsessions.
