Friendly reminder: Starting today, residents of this community must follow the Resident Survival Manual. Please obey its rules. For example: Never answer a knock at midnight. Do not enter an overloaded elevator. Every Sunday, remember to leave a blue item beside the trash can. Violators will become part of the rules themselves.
To investigate her younger sister's mysterious disappearance, Lin You moves back into this old apartment complex, only to find herself caught up in the arrival of the rules. She soon discovers that the manual is both the only way to survive and the greatest trap. Behind every rule lies an ancient horror sealed beneath the complex.
As she struggles to survive, she joins forces with other survivors, fighting through the bloody dawns and eerie midnights. The rules tear humanity apart, and trust becomes a luxury. Meanwhile, the “Chosen One” bloodline sealed within her gradually awakens, revealing the truth: she is not merely a pawn fighting for survival, but the key to breaking the deadlock.
When the mastermind known as the “Ferryman” emerges, and the complex is revealed to be just one of forty-nine sealing sites around the world, Lin You faces a final choice: sacrifice herself to shut the door to disaster forever, or become a bridge between two worlds and find a new path on which everyone can survive?
This is not a story about escaping alive.
It is the legend of how an ordinary person became the “bridge” that protects the world, even in the face of utter despair.
