Shadow University

After failing the college entrance examination, he thought he was just escaping to an unpopular university. Little do they know that this campus itself is a living tomb. Lin Yan dragged the label of loser into Jiangyang Jianzhu University. What greeted him was not the hope of a new student, but the rusty school gate, the dead Jingbo Lake, and a strange dormitory numbered "404". Among the roommates, some have soul-soothing runes carved on their arms, some can hack into erased files, and some always stare at the light-devouring vortex in the middle of the lake late at night. When the walls begin to whisper and warnings of "the lake within the lake" appear in ancient books, a mysterious professor hands over a copper coin engraved with an evil curse: "Throw it down and you will see the truth - but there is no turning back." What's even more frightening is that Lin Yan gradually discovered: His arrival was no accident. His failure is the key. What this university is waiting for has never been students—— But a sacrifice, or... Someone who breaks the situation. Welcome to Shadow University. Here, every brick hides a secret, and your fate has already been written into the sealing formation a hundred years ago. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
