Guisu

Late at night in Jinxiu Apartment, there is always a red shadow floating in the corridor. On the first day she moved into Room 707, Lin Xia found a strangulation mark under the ceiling hook - it was the mark of the previous tenant's hanging. Twenty years ago, a strange fire scorched twelve households on the seventh floor. Only the charred corpse of the bride in red was sitting on her knees in the elevator shaft, holding the blood-stained wedding dress in her hands. Nowadays, midnight cries linger in the cracks in the walls, the smell of burnt seeps out of the vents, and the woman in a red dress always smiles at you in the mirror. Neighbors died in strange and tragic deaths one after another: the twisted neck was sewn with red thread, the cut pieces of cloth were spelled out to form a marriage certificate, and the bloody word "seventh" hinted at the restart of the bloody curse. When Lin Xia discovered that there was always a red shadow in the photos on her mobile phone, and a faded bridal hijab appeared inexplicably deep in the closet, she finally understood—— The people who live in this room become "substitute brides" dedicated to the souls of the dead.
