[I was halfway through unboxing an old doll on livestream when the screen suddenly went black. When it came back on, I was standing in a hospital crawling with dolls missing their hands, clutching a rabbit!]
The comments went wild: “Has the streamer been kidnapped?” But then I felt a note in my pocket: “Before midnight, feed the doll a blood-red candy. Otherwise…”
My phone showed 11:50 p.m. The viewers were so worried they tipped 100,000 to unlock “night vision goggles.” But when I looked up, the nurse’s mask cracked, and a face covered in stitches leaned toward me. “Little miss, your candy is missing a button~”
Even stranger, whenever I enter a new instance, a man in work overalls shows up to help me:
In the looping apartment, he threw a smoke bomb to block the shadow. His voice trembled behind his mask. “Don’t touch the newspaper dated July 15.”
At the faceless barbershop, the pocket watch he left behind suddenly chimed. My mother’s voice came from inside: “Yinxi, he’s Experimental Subject 01. He’s been waiting for you for 30 years…”
Now viewers around the world are waiting to find out:
Will the repairman take off his mask and make us all cry?
What secret is hidden in the “Subject 07 Antibody” entry in my mother’s research log?
In the next instance, should I trade half the antibody to keep him in the real world?
(PS: The spirit-guarding rabbit suddenly bit the hem of my clothes. On camera, a gigantic creature in the deep sea was staring at the livestream screen and smiling. “I finally found you, daughter of Subject 07.”)
