Scissors

Living survivor, close-combat fighter, and Haunted House actorHouse of Horrors

Scissors is a scarred young survivor of Li Wan City who adopts the name of his weapon and later joins the House of Horrors.

Biography

Passenger in Li Wan City

Scissors boards the Midnight Hearse covered in blood, carrying a large pair of scissors and searching for his elder brother. His injuries and family history have taught him to perform the role of a violent madman before others can threaten him, so he initially tests Chen Ge rather than offering trust. Inside Li Wan City, survival forces him to judge actions instead of appearances. He follows Chen's leadership, fights beside the other passengers, and consumes blood-vessel material intended for Red Specters, accepting a dangerous bodily change because it offers a chance to escape. (Chapters 625–680)

After the group returns, Scissors offers Chen lasting loyalty and accepts a place at the House of Horrors while the curse in his body is treated. Red High Heels removes most of the black curse marks, though his low body temperature and exact long-term condition are not fully defined. He trains as an actor, uses a Jack the Ripper costume, and later helps Uncle Xu with the attraction's ordinary work, converting an identity built on intimidation into a role within a team. (Chapters 681–684, 696, 702–704, 708–709, 714, 755, and 763–766)

Appearance and personality

Scissors is a lanky young man with conspicuous facial scars, part of his face wrapped in bandages, and wounds that quiver when he moves. He cultivates an alarming manner to keep people distant, but beneath that performance he is observant, courageous when violence is necessary, and intensely grateful toward people who earn his trust. (Chapters 625, 647, and 678)

Skills and supernatural abilities

He is a quick, aggressive close-range fighter who uses his long scissors to threaten or disable opponents. He remains a living human and is vulnerable to poison, curses, and powerful Specters. Consuming the blood-vessel material lowers his body temperature and leaves black curse marks; the marks are largely cleansed by Chapter 704, but the event does not establish a formal supernatural rank. (Chapters 625–651, 676–677, 702–704)

Relationships

  • Elder brother: Finding him is the personal goal that brings Scissors onto Route 104. (Chapters 625–680)
  • Chen Ge: Suspicion changes into loyalty after Chen repeatedly protects the passengers and offers treatment instead of exploitation. (Chapters 625–684)
  • Red High Heels: She removes most of the curse left in Scissors's body after Li Wan City. (Chapters 702–704)

Items

The thirty-centimeter scissors are his signature weapon and the source of the name he chooses for himself. He also arrives with an old leaking bag, but the bag is not developed as a distinct artifact. (Chapters 625, 647, and 678)
