About This Novel

In order to save money, Lin Mo, a recent graduate, rented a single room in an old residential building in the city center that was about to be demolished. The landlord repeatedly warned: "Don't go to the seventh floor after 12 o'clock at night, and don't answer any knocks on the door." Lin Mo just thought it was a strange story in the old neighborhood and didn't pay attention. However, on the first night of his stay, he heard the faint sound of a woman crying from the seventh floor, as if seeping out from the cracks in the locked door. What's even weirder is that whenever he approaches the stairs on the seventh floor, the mobile phone signal will be interrupted, and the voice-activated lights in the corridor will flicker on and off. As time went by, Lin Mo discovered that the residents of this building were all weird: the cleaner who was always moving things in the middle of the night, and an old man who called himself an "old resident" who always whispered in his ears that "someone died before the seventh floor." He found a rusty lady's brooch in the corner of the room, and found half of an old photo that had been torn into pieces in the trash can in the corridor - the photo showed a woman wearing a retro dress, standing in front of the door on the seventh floor and smiling. When Lin Mo tried to investigate the secrets of the seventh floor, he found that all records about the original residents of the seventh floor had been deliberately erased. And the woman's cry became clearer and clearer, even recurring in his dreams. He gradually realized that he seemed to be "targeted" by something: things at home would move inexplicably, blurry figures occasionally flashed in the mirror, and once, he even saw a pair of feet wearing red high heels under the door on the seventh floor. The clue to the truth is hidden in an "accidental fall case" in this building twenty years ago. And the crying woman seemed to be guiding Lin Mo in some way to discover the truth about the murder that had been covered up that year.
