Suppress the Evil Spirit

In the depth of winter, the town of Yong'an is immersed in cold silence. The broken characters come quietly, swallowing people's traces and destroying their memories. The old carpenter Wang Deshun disappears out of thin air, the old scholar Zhang Maolin is forgotten by the world, and the stable town turns into a strange land. Lin Yanqiu, who works at the Lin family's type shop, awakens to the tradition of breaking characters in a desperate situation. He holds a carving knife and uses movable type as a matchmaker to repair the remains of "Suppressing the Unexpected", barely protecting the remaining vitality, but he has to bear the heavy price of changing a word and forgetting a thing. The remnants of the mystery have not yet been resolved, wordless nothingness follows one after another, no ink, no words, no traces to be found, swallowing up all existence. The rule of changing characters that Lin Yanqiu relied on completely failed, and he fell into an unprecedented desperate situation. It wasn't until Su Mo, a woman in mysterious clothes, appeared that he revealed a corner of the truth: words and nothingness coexist in the world, "Suppression of Creeties" hides the fate of all living beings, and the Wenyinjian is the pawn of the author, trying to break the balance and dominate the world. An arrest warrant is issued and misfortune spreads. Lin Yanqiu and his close friends travel across the mountains and rivers of Jiuzhou to quell mountain ghosts in Shu, loyal souls in Anbei, and find the legacy of generations of broken characters, using their own strength to fight against thousand-year obsessions. What he protects is never a movable type shop, but the existence of all living beings that cannot be erased, and the symbiotic order of words and nothingness. Even if every step is bloody and the memory is gone, he must break the fate of the writer and restore the everlasting fireworks in the world.
