1st printing. Written by Ni Kuang. Art and cover by Wee Tian Beng. Translated by Clara Show. An ancient castle with an unusual regulation - the game of hide-and-seek is prohibited. A bronze palque with the rule inscribed on it is discovered by Rainbow during an eerie one night stay in the empty castle. The discovery is made even stranger by the unexplained phenomenon experienced by historian Wang Jufeng. Not one to give challenges a miss, Wisley jumps into the act and investigates the reason behind the prohibition. Somewhere in a dark corner of the castle is the key to the deep mystery surrounding the strange appearance and disappearance of people and things. Is Jufeng's creepy experience just a fragment of his own imagination or is it more real than anyone could have imagined? Wisely and Bai Su could well be on the brink of a startling, but exciting discovery... Softcover, 6-in. x 8 1/2-in., 170 pages, B&W.
