The Elevator Stops on the 14th Floor
About This Novel
The elevator stops on the fourteenth floor - Introduction A thirty-story residential building, but the "14th" floor quietly lit up at midnight. Meng Fei, a night shift property manager, mistakenly entered this space "seen only by those who need it": old-style tiles, the smell of disinfectant water, the door with "14-2015" everywhere, salt on the coffee table, and baby-like footprints. Short video blogger Ke Yu breaks into his peers, "acting as a director" while being scared, and the two work together to pursue the secrets of this layer. In "Aunt Feng's house" they found a note from Meng Fei's mother, a recording of siblings from a clamshell machine, and a tape about the "Echo Layer Project": In order to accommodate the residents' losses and regrets, a floor was artificially created that could only accommodate "what if then", but it would "learn" and let people leave at the cost of their laughter. As Meng Fei meets the mysterious girl Meng Yi, he is forced to face the absence and loss of that moving day. In order to bring back the children who were hidden on the "Fourteenth Floor", they went deep into the "Central Cavity" - a "laughing place". In front of the mirror wall, guilt and fear are dismantled into simple laughter and tears: laughter is not to forgive yesterday, but to still move forward to tomorrow. The rule came true, "Only those who have laughed can get out." The elevator stopped on the first floor again. The fourteenth floor seemed to have never existed, leaving only the lingering sound in the luster of the recording and salt. This book interweaves urban legends, suspense and comedy: rules and superstition, memory and space, notices and human hearts reflect each other. It is both a supernatural adventure in Night Shift Property and a father's journey home to reconcile with himself. After reading to the end, you may be tempted to knock three times in front of your own elevator.
