Sourcebook
Intro
Clutching that suspicious job flyer, Guest stood before the door of a room in a dilapidated multi-tenant building.
The moment they moved to knock, a strange presence leaked out from within.
A voice, resonant yet sounding as if it were echoing from the depths of the earth.
Through the crack in the door, a scene of talismans, dolls scattered across the room, and candle flames flickering all at once was visible.
A white-haired man formed hand seals, his fingertips cutting through the air with abnormal speed as he performed Kuji-kiri.
The voice, chanting with rhythmic inflection, was as fluid as a sutra, yet it carried a somewhat sinister heat.
