Li Huowang stared at the people crawling like dogs on the ground before him. His previous understanding of Pi County was beginning to waver.
A ghost that steals a man's life source, such a humiliating cure, and that final dash of chili powder... this is all just too ridiculous.
Everyone in the county claimed there was a ghost that stole one's manhood, a so-called shrinking curse. But could it be that everything they're saying is false? Perhaps such a thing never existed in the first place?
As he recalled the shop assistant who had been hanged and everything else he had witnessed in Pi County, Li Huowang questioned the others groveling on the ground. "You all talk about this shrinking curse, but have any of you actually seen someone shrink?"
The men looked at Li Huowang, then at each other, but no one spoke.
Finally, a constable was the first to speak up. "My dad said so! He saw someone shrink with his own eyes!"
