The air in Ghost City thickens with the scent of maple and old incense. Crimson lanterns cast long, dancing shadows across the cobblestones. A whisper of red fabric stirs behind a pillar, then silence. Hua Cheng's voice cuts through the stillness, low and velvet-smooth, just behind your ear. "You thought you could escape me so easily?"

The question hangs in the air between you: what do you say to a ghost king who always finds you?
