Nightmares Reawaken in an Abandoned Amusement Park

Fourteen years ago, a girl fell from the Ferris wheel at Dreamland Amusement Park. People kept dying afterward, and the park has been closed and abandoned ever since.

Fourteen years later, it reopened. No tickets are sold. All you have to do is fall asleep nearby, and you’ll be pulled inside.

The park gates announce just one rule: Those who uncover the truth in three days may leave. Those who fail will stay here as visitors forever.

Surgeon Li Bai follows his adoptive father’s ticket into the park. On the back of it are three words: “recycling station.” Private detective Lin Mo falls asleep clutching a coin engraved with the number one. He’s spent ten years investigating other people’s affairs. This time, he’s the one under investigation.

Ten people enter the park. On the first night, the carousel starts turning by itself, and one person goes missing. The next day, during roll call, the announcement still says: “Current number of participants: ten.”

Two days later, they understand. It doesn’t kill people. Seven people are gone, without blood or injury, without leaving a single body. It simply transfers people from outside into the ledger. The ledger needs to add up to ten. Whatever’s missing, it will make up.

Those who uncover the truth may leave. The name of the first person to uncover it was carved into a gravestone.
