She was introduced as the Devil of Funeral of the Flowers, a DLC released on 29 October 2019.

## Lore

In the difficult environment of famine and war, many people sailed across the ocean to live in other countries. Yun Niang followed her parents to sneak into Japan and began her new life.

In this unfamiliar land, their family lives very hard. When the language is inaccessible, it is difficult to find even a humble job. Yun Niang's father can only do hard work that locals are unwilling to do. livelihood.

Yun Niang still has three younger brothers and sisters in her family. Each of her mouths has to eat, and her father's meager salary is not enough. It's better to marry Yun Niang as soon as possible, even if the parents talk about it.

What illegal locals like them would marry their daughters? She went around and found a butcher. Of course, Yun Niang's father and mother were very happy. They thought that their daughter had a place in the second half of her life.

Yun Niang is also very satisfied. She feels that the butcher is an unforgettable business-but it is in China.

But because of customs in Japan, butchers are the most inferior pariahs.

The butcher's family is composed of father and son. No matter how low the husband's identity is when he returns home, he needs the same respect as the emperor. Of course, as a wife, she must be as lowly as the following.

The neighbours knew how this pair of bachelor fathers and sons had been addressing their physiological needs. They are regulars of the mean prostitutes. It is understandable that the son married his daughter-in-law and broke off the business of the prostitutes. The old man did not go often, and the neighbors naturally sprang up speculation. And this speculation was quickly confirmed. Some people saw the old man being indifferent to Yun Niang. Although Yun Niang kept avoiding and resisting, who knew it was not because of being in the yard? Who knows what it would be like to return to the house!

The rumors of a waitress and son are of course popular and widely circulated.

Although Yun Niang has been in Japan for two years and married a Japanese husband, she is still a Chinese woman in her bones and values the festival. The outside rumors and rumors were also groundless, and her father-in-law and her husband's weakness made her desperate.

Yun Niang came to the local shrine and bowed to a strange god for mercy. She didn't know if a foreign god would care for her, but besides asking God, she couldn't think of anything else she could rely on, and she was unwilling, afraid, and disdain to return to that home.

Yun Niang looked at the deity who were enshrined in the shrine, with the same embarrassment. She became more and more cold and felt that she had been abandoned by destiny. Neither man nor god would give her even a little mercy and kindness.

The hope in her heart was shattered ...

No one was looking for Yun Niang, but her husband looked around in the courtyard, and her parents heard that they were just crying.

A person just disappeared from the world like this, silent.

It didn't take long for Hana Street to have a glamorous Geisha.

The geisha is named Geiko. It is rumored that this is a woman of Chinese descent. No one knows where she came from or why she is so popular. In less than a month, she has become popular. The flower street is well-known. The men did not hesitate to spend money to please her, and as long as women talked about her, they were jealous.

Everyday the woman in Hana Street curses Geiko and blame her that she seduce their man.

But these curses brought bad luck to the cursers themselves. Their husbands died in a gruesome matter, and their symptoms were the same-their chests were pierced with several stabs, and blood flowed like river.

No trace of the murderer was left at the scene, except for a red Prajna mask on the body's face.

Some people say that it's the women killed their husband. Others say that these women's jealousy turns into evil spirits and curses their husbands. Especially the second statement, because of the mask on the body's face, people have to believe.

Since then, no one dared to curse Geiko in the streets, and Geiko became more famous. Numerous men came here to see what kind of magic this Geisha had.

This is a misfortune to other women and geishas. They serve their guests every day in order to make a living, and now all of the man are running towards Geiko, and no one looks at them again.

The formerly popular Geisha Miori has been left out in the cold, and she is jealous of Geiko. She and other geishas have crowded out Geiko, and even secretly prescribed poison in Geiko's tea, in an attempt to make her sick.

Many people talked privately, saying that Meori was doing this, possible possessed by the evil spirits. They wonder if she would kill Geiko one day.

But the person who died was Miori. No murder weapon or trace of the killer was left at the scene, except for her face, which was also wearing a red scary Oni mask.

For a while, people were trembling, everyone knew that evil spirits were embarrassing, especially those who were jealous of their hearts.

Yunzi went to worship at the shrine every three or five days. This shrine was originally unattended, and no one knows what god is enshrined in this shrine. There is only a faceless Buddha statue in the altar.

This person is going to be famous, and there will be many people watching it, and there will be many words to talk about. It is no wonder that the accidents have all started from Geiko, and she frequently worships God, which makes it hard to make people not suspicion.

However, this speculation was broke after two man died. They were a pair of father and son. They heard that they were the low-quality butchers. There was no trace of the killer at the scene, but their face were wearing a red mask.
