Get in the Dark (Zhi Ren Hui Hun / 纸人回魂)

You are Lu Xiaosheng,

the folkways journalist of Xiaoxian Journal, aren't you?

Yes, I am.

I came to Baigui Town

to collect some information.

Come with me.

Sir,

can you take me to the Qiao Residence directly?

I suggest you

not go there.

Why?

Because they like to come out at midnight

to find people and possess them.

Who are they?

They are always behind you.

Are you talking about these paper dolls?

I was talking about the dead who revive

after their deaths by possessing the dolls.

I don't believe

people can return to life after their died.

That's because you don't know

what happened in the Qiao Residence 20 years ago.

It's said that

the paper doll was possessed

on the seventh day after the person died.

That was not hearsay.

I saw it with my own eyes.

20 years ago

at the Qiao Residence,

during mid-night

when Yang

was the weakest,

a paper doll with eyes was stained with blood and possessed.

After being burned, the paper doll turned into a human dead body.

Ever since then,

whoever lived in the Qiao Residence

would be beset by bad luck,

or ended up with unnatural deaths.

The Qiao Residence became an ominous house.

No one dares to approach it.

I'm telling you one last time.

Don't go in there.

The Qiao Residence is very wicked now.

The Qiao Residence

No one knows what will happen.

Thank you.

As a folkloristics scholar,

I've been studying paper dolls for years.

I've been investigating that incident

for a long time.

It's said that

late at night at the Qiao Residence,

the paper doll would find a living person to possess.

Whoever stays there won't survive after midnight.

I'm here today

to

to find out the truth.

Who is it?

Who's outside?

Who is it?

What are you doing here late at night?

Who are you?

How did these paper dolls get here?

Where are you going?

Who are you?

What are you doing?

Let go of me!

Get in the Dark

Who is this?

Is he alive or dead?

Where am I?

Who are you?

You are in my house.

You fainted at the Qiao Residence last night.

I brought you here.

I told you

not to go there.

Sir,

how much do you know

about what happened there?

I suggest you

leave as soon as possible.

You know

this person, don't you?

His name is Liu San.

He had a paper doll shop.

Back then,

it was him

who made the paper doll

which was possessed and revived.

Liu San made a mistake.

A mistake?

20 years ago,

Liu San broke the rules

and painted the paper doll's eyes.

In the end,

on the night of the funeral of Ms. Qiao, who died unnaturally,

she possessed the paper doll

and revived to take lives.

Paper doll was possessed and revived on the seventh night after her death

After that, he took his disciple Ms. Nanchang

and moved to Fushui Town.

Sir.

Sir, would you like a kite?

No, thank you.

Do you know a lady called Nanshang?

Do you mean Ms. Nanshang from Lotus Paper Shop?

Keep walking ahead till you get to the first residence of Moming alley.

Okay, thank you.

Take care.

Lotus Paper Shop

Excuse me,

Is Nanshang here?

Don't touch it.

Who are you?

You do not have manners.

Ms. Nanchang,

I'm here

to ask you about the incident of the paper doll possession

which happened 20 years ago in Baigui Town.

Sorry if I offended you.

This is my name card.

Lu Xiaosheng

This is a paper shop.

If you want to hear stories,

you came to the wrong place.

It's said that

Mr. Qiao, Qiao An from Baigui Town,

died mysteriously 20 years ago.

Some said

it was his daughter who possessed the paper doll and revied

to revenge herself on her father.

That paper doll

My Beloved Master Liu San's Memorial Tablet

was made by your master,

Liu San.

Am I right?

Mysterious murder in Baigui Town, the paper doll was possessed and revived on the seventh night after the death

This is a paper shop.

Of course, we made paper dolls.

But he shouldn't have

painted the doll's eyes.

That was taboo.

How did you know?

Someone from Baigui Town told me.

In order to take revenge on Qiao An,

Liu San painted the eyes with blood

so that the paper doll was possessed.

Qiao An was cursed and died.

That's why he left Baigui Town

where he lived his whole life and came here.

Discussing the dead with no respect,

is that what you do as a scholar?

I felt very sorry that Mr. Liu passed away.

I don't want anyone

to criticize him behind his back.

But after his death,

many truths back then

couldn't be verified.

Can you tell me

what happened after the paper doll was painted with eyes?

There are two taboos

about running a paper shop business.

First,

we can't make paper dolls

for a living person.

Second,

we must never paint

paper dolls' eyes.

What made my master

regret the most in his life

was that he broke

both two rules.

Liu San.

Butler Qiao.

What brought you

here?

Make a paper doll

according to this photo.

But...

Isn't this Ms. Qiao? Qiao Yuanyuan?

I saw her at the market this morning.

Isn't she alive and well?

Do what you should.

Don't ask

what you shouldn't.

But, Butler Qiao,

we have rules that

we can't make paper dolls for a living person.

That is a curse, isn't it?

If you don't do it,

others will make paper dolls for you. You don't want this, do you?

Three days later,

deliver the paper doll to the Qiao Residence yourself.

Remember,

don't let anyone see you.

My master was forced to take this order.

On the night when

Liu San Paper Shop

Ms. Qiao's paper doll was finished,
