Mulan: The Mask of the Ancestors

After her death, Mulan’s spirit was bound to her family shrine. Her descendants wore her mask during war for luck — but each one died the same way: by their own sword.

When the dynasty fell, the mask was buried. Modern archaeologists uncovered it centuries later — and one of them put it on for a photo.

The next day, he disappeared. The camera still works. The photo? Still smiling.
