Starting on the Tenth Day

When memory becomes a tamperable code, when death is just a migration of consciousness, seven souls trapped in a time loop will piece together in ten days the bloody truth that was buried ten years ago. In 2025, memory restorer Lin Yan woke up on Jingyuan Island and fell into a time cage that resets at 05:00 every day. The isolated island washed away by heavy rain, the machinery room with roaring gears, the blood-oozing monitor screen, and the companions whose identities change randomly in each cycle - the pharmacologist Su Wangyan with a burn on the left side of his face, the former detective Tang Wei who carries a tactical dagger, and the mysterious man who always wears a white coat. The barcode number on the back of everyone's neck circulates like a curse. Only the girl in the red dress always stays in the first cycle, using blood to carve clues on the morgue refrigerator. Lin Yan's goal is clear and persistent: to find his sister Xiaoyu who disappeared in the explosion of the Jingyuan Island laboratory ten years ago. But as the cycle deepens, he gradually finds that his memory is fragmented - after each death, his consciousness will be transferred to experimental subjects with different numbers. The tail number of the barcode on the inside of his wrist changes from "07" to "00", which coincides with the number of the girl in the red dress. The gear set reveals the Möbius strip structure of Mirror Abyss Island, the embryo in the petri dish is beating with a heartbeat that is synchronized with time, and the body in freezer No. 17 In the morgue has the same barcode engraved on the back of his neck. All clues point to a cruel truth: they had died in the experiment ten years ago, and now they are just consciousness circulating in the spare body. The "Yongzhou Project" of the Yongzhou Group has surfaced: by implanting neural chips, the brain waves of seven children are controlled simultaneously in an attempt to create something that can control the world.
