When I put on earplugs, the "noise" from upstairs finally disappeared.
Lin Wan, a 22-year-old sociophobic illustrator, bought a pair of earplugs that are said to be "absolutely silent" in order to avoid the never-ending noise harassment from her upstairs neighbors.
The effect is surprisingly good, and the world feels peaceful after wearing it.
She was finally able to create with peace of mind and enjoy being alone.
However, the silence for several days made her uneasy.
Out of curiosity, she peeked at the balcony upstairs through the gap in the balcony with her mobile phone lens——
She saw the most horrific sight of her life.
What made her even more horrified was that after that night, she found that some unexplainable "traces" began to appear in her life.
That pair of silent earplugs blocked more than just sound... It seemed to open a channel, and she, unknowingly, became an accomplice of a certain "existence".
Now, that "it" considered Lin Wan to be its "ally" and was walking step by step from upstairs to her door.
