"After seven nights of free accommodation, the living become the rules and the dead become the neighbors."
Unemployed programmer Lin Mo received a text message on a rainy night:
"Congratulations on being eligible to stay in Xingfu Apartment for free for 7 days. Address: No. 44, Old City North Road."
He thought it was just a prank, but he didn't expect——
• The elevator buttons will jump by themselves, and parking on the third floor is never allowed;
• A piece of raw meat with the word "Lin Mo" written on it grows in the refrigerator every day;
• After 22:00, the administrator wearing a smiley mask will knock on the door crying;
• 404 In the arms of the female neighbor, there is a rotten talking rag doll;
• The avatars in the resident group are graying out every day... What's even more frightening is that he discovered that all the rules can be tampered with——
As long as you cross out the words with a red pen, it will take effect temporarily, but the price is that your body will rot a little and your memory will disappear little by little.
In the early morning of the seventh day, Lin Mo saw himself in the mirror wearing a smiling mask, and finally understood:
The so-called "Happy Apartment" is actually a transit point for the deceased;
The so-called "free stay" is actually a survival game in which one's soul is put on the line;
The so-called "surviving seven days" actually means becoming the next administrator and waiting for the next living person to move in. When there was only the last second left in the countdown, Lin Mo sent the last message in the group:
"New residents have arrived, please abide by the rules and wish you a happy stay."
