Chen Xuan, a young Taoist priest who lives in hiding in the market, was born with yin and yang eyes but due to an old injury he can only see things in the yang world. In order to investigate a bizarre "case of serial souls leaving apartments," he took the initiative to rent room 404 on the outskirts of the city, which was rumored to be haunted.
When the landlord handed over the key, his eyes were cold: "You can't keep this room."
On the first night of his stay, Chen Xuan discovered something unusual——
A diary that updates automatically. The last page reads: "Tonight, August 19, 2025, it's coming."
There was a radio that was not plugged in but played on its own. Amidst the rustling sound of electricity, someone was reading his name.
A mirror with no reflection, the figure in the mirror is always half a beat slower than him.
What's even more bizarre is that the property manager told him: "Room 404 was sealed fifteen years ago, and the body of the last tenant... Has not been found yet."
And when he tore open the wallpaper, he found that it was covered with charms, one of which was clearly written by his master ten years ago.
"This is not a haunted house at all... But a cage sealed by Taoism."
Chen Xuan finally understood that he was not here to investigate——
He is the next "guest" selected.
