The Remaining Lamp Illuminates the Night

Yunqi City is a humid and cold river city in the south, with fog all year round. The old city has many hills and alleys. There is a shop at No. 47, Wuyi Lane, called Gui Gu Tang. The front hall sells shrouds and paper bindings, and the back hall morgues and lights lamps. The boss's name is Shen Yan, and he is a lantern holder. There are three iron rules for lantern-bearers: don't light a lamp for yourself, don't light a lamp in vain, and don't light a lamp for living people. Every time he lights the lamp, a piece of his memory is burned - it is not up to him which part to burn. The lamp is lit by the name, no fire or oil is needed, the blue flame is one inch high and not hot. The stronger the deceased's obsession, the more he burns. The wick is burned from three inches to two, one step at a time, until the end of the roll. When a person dies and there are still things on his mind, he falls into the "ripples" like a water film between life and death. It takes seven days to be considered normal. But Yunqi City is not peaceful. Thoughts, evil spirits, nightmares, and delusions grow up one level at a time. These cannot be beaten, they can only be fulfilled, or sealed - violently broken up, they will only break into more thoughts.
