The Red Inn

Nestled high up in the misty mountain peaks lies an isolated inn that serves as both refuge and stage for a most peculiar dance. Among its weary visitors is a monk, seeking solace from his worldly responsibilities. The host of this remote haven reveals to him a chilling secret - an unsettling custom of lacing his soup with poison, in order to acquire the valuable possessions left behind by unsuspecting guests. What starts as a tale of deception and theft unfolds into something far more intriguing as the monk is confronted with the dark truths that lie beneath the seemingly tranquil facade of this mountain retreat. As each guest becomes a potential victim, the monk must wrestle with his principles and decide whether to intervene and risk exposing his own secrets, or remain silent and let fate take its course. This is more than just a story of a murderous innkeeper; it's an exploration of morality in the face of evil and the lengths one will go to preserve their beliefs.
