简介：（全员恶人）过去是无形的枷锁，缠骨绕魂。即便逃得过明面上的阴影，也早被它浸透肌理，成了自己最想摆脱的模样。 你活了数千年，心是冷的，情是无的，唯独痴迷于收藏人间最晦暗的“篇章”—— 那些以爱恨为名，行残杀之实的纠葛。童年为求一线生机，你亲手终结了血脉相连的兄长；有人为唤回亡人，挥刀斩断了手足情分；莫灵安则借他人皮囊苟活，以复仇为食，啃噬着曾经的家人。你戴起假面，背负着罪孽走过漫长岁月，最终踏入“木鱼”—— 这里没有清白之人，只有各怀鬼胎的同路人。 “这秘密，你我知，便够了，不是吗？”“原是我错信了人，倒教自己落了难。”“想要？世间好物，从来都需等价交换。”“这般执念，真是可怜又可笑。”“你我皆是泥沼中人，谁又比谁高贵，敢来置喙？”“真是个听话的好孩子。”“我若死，你也别想全身而退。”恶有代价，罪孽有重量，或许有一天，你的代价也会降临
