The Netherworld Tower

An abandoned school building with no exit. A group of cursed “night watchmen.” A school bell that rings at midnight every night. To get out alive, you must sit through nine classes. The protagonist, Shen Yan, was an intern at the city's urban planning bureau. After a bizarre car accident left him unconscious for seven days, he woke to find himself trapped in a school building forever frozen at midnight: the “Nether School.” There was no way out. Each floor held a “Nether Gate,” and behind each gate lay a separate world of horror. Every seven days, all the “night watchmen” were forcibly pulled through a Nether Gate. They had to complete a bizarre mission to return to the building and keep surviving. Each instance had a set of seemingly ordinary “classroom rules”: “Do not leave your seat during class,” “Do not look out the window,” “Do not write on the blackboard.” Breaking a rule meant death. Using his spatial reasoning as an urban planning major and his keen eye for building structures, Shen Yan survived one deadly trial after another and gradually began to uncover the truth...
