Strange Things in the Countryside: the Monument Keeper

Chen Yan, who returned to his hometown to deal with the funeral affairs of his ancestral home, accidentally inherited the wordless stone tablet at the entrance of the village that no one dared to touch, and became the last keeper of the tablet. Strange things happen frequently in mountain villages: nursery rhymes in the middle of the night, returning people losing their souls, sacrifices disappearing out of thin air, and no one dares to mention the taboos spoken by the elderly. All weirdness occurs around the stone tablet; all deaths violate the secret rules under the stone tablet. No one knows what the stone monument suppresses. They only know that once the guardian of the monument fails in his duty, the mountain village will be swallowed up by the mysterious shadow. Chen Yan was forced to dismantle the rules and traps under the disguise of layers of folk customs, uncover the truth about how his ancestors guarded the monument, and guard the last boundary between human nature and mystery.
