Synopsis

Lin Xiao received an offer that he couldn't refuse - a good salary and a matching position. The only exception was the old building where the company was located. It is sandwiched between the glass buildings in the city's CBD, like a scar that should not exist. On her first day of employment, a stranger in the elevator warned her: "You can't go up to the eleventh floor." Immediately afterwards, the woman in white chased her, the silent crowd on the fourth floor stared collectively, and all the security doors were locked at the same time... This building refused her to leave in a way that violated physical rules. What's even weirder is that she meets four former colleagues on this floor one after another—all of whom left earlier than her. Working together to solve their puzzles, they discovered that there was a kind of "people" in the building: they imitated humans and mingled among them, with the only flaws being subtle behavioral abnormalities. To identify authenticity, they left wounds on the backs of their hands as secret codes. But soon, the code was cracked and the companions began to "disappear". Intern Zhao Yan insisted that he was working in the company that had moved. His colleague Li Xin's eyes became increasingly hollow, and Chen Nuo, whom he trusted the most, actually appeared twice at the same time. The group gradually realized that this building was a living cage. It is transforming something on the 11th floor, setting up layers of rules: the stairs on the west side may be a way out, the 12th floor houses the superseded, and certain situations will trigger anomalies... Perhaps her biggest fear was: when she finally escaped from the building and received a call from her aunt who sent her to work in the morning, the other party asked blankly—— "What old building? I've been at home today!"

Reader comments

This is a high-quality supernatural suspense story with a full sense of atmosphere. The biggest highlight of the story is that the protagonist and his group dare to face the fear of the unknown, break through the inner fear and confusion, and uncover the whole truth behind the incident step by step. The plot of the full text is compact and tense, the plots are interlocking, the whole process is waterless, and the rhythm is extremely precise. The author's writing style is sophisticated and solid, his psychological description is delicate and accurate, and he perfectly depicts the emotional changes and psychological struggles of the characters in desperate situations. The description of the environment is very visual, the atmosphere is well rendered, and the immersion is very strong, making people feel as if they are actually there. The characters have distinct and three-dimensional personalities, and everyone's choices and growth are well-founded. The overall plot is suspenseful, full of tension, and the ideas are novel and unique, making it a very enjoyable read.

Super nice, especially: Lin Xiao looked at the pattern on the back of his hand. Those lines had a slight pulsating feeling under the skin, like an independent heartbeat. "What if we don't follow the directions?" As soon as he finished speaking, the pulsation of the lines suddenly intensified, and the tingling sensation quickly spread from the back of the hand to the entire arm. Lin Xiao bit her lip to keep from screaming.

Very good, but a bit lacking. The author's writing style is calm and delicate, without piling up rhetoric, and the details such as environmental description, psychological description, movements and expressions are accurately handled.

It's interlocking and the plot is compact, but one update a day is too little! !
