Yunnan Hundred Ghost Records

Kunming, Yunnan, Republic of China. In the archives of the Provincial Folklore Research Association, Lu Yan is known as a researcher, but his job is to collect and file the "unexplained bizarre deaths" in various counties. Others believed in ghosts and gods, but he believed in files—until those deaths dragged him from behind the desk where he was copying files and into a world he shouldn't have seen. The embers of torches, the mirrors in Wenming Street, the extra tree people in the Forest of Forest Gods, drowning without water, the wind blowing against the direction, the lamp oil that cannot be extinguished, the thunder that chases people, the marriage of water ghosts... Ten mysterious cases, each with a different method of death, and each of them is aimed at his eye. He wasn't looking for ghosts. It was the human form that was disappearing little by little in his own eyes. This book has no system, no upgrades, and no combat effectiveness - the only "golden finger" is the price: a piece is missing from the upper right corner of the right eye, which gets deeper every time a case is investigated; the ear canal is buzzing, there are sparks between the fingers, and the eyes are stained by water. He can't break the weirdness, but he can break the trap made by people. A scholar who believed in archives and science became more and more afraid as he searched the gaps in folk customs in troubled times - he was afraid that he would be "recorded" by something.
