Carnival of Lost Shadows

In the twilight years of the Qianlong reign, a county scribe named Meng Qiubai is dispatched to a remote town during the frenzied Ghost Festival. A series of ritualistic mass murders disguised as carnival mayhem begins, each victim a twisted tableau mirroring the suppressed "Immortal Book" heresy. As Meng delves into the collective madness, his criminal profiles become an attempt to sketch the forsaken silhouette of the divine—a shadow cast by God. To survive the demonic awakening within the crowd, he must shed his old life and rewrite his destiny, exploring the infinite possibilities of both human evil and redemption.
