[A killer is murdering someone on livestream.]
[He smiled at my camera, then posted a comment.]
To pay for my sister's ICU treatment, I had nowhere else to turn, so I signed up for a horror livestream.
First broadcast mission: Explore an abandoned hospital at night.
On camera, a killer in a white coat is slitting a victim's throat.
He turns and smiles at my camera, then
His comment appears in my livestream:
“Move the camera down and look at the person you killed three years ago.”
The police name me their prime suspect.
As a hundred thousand viewers watch me being interrogated, the killer remotely takes control of my livestream.
He plays footage of my movements throughout the night and fabricates evidence that I took bribes.
Then he gives me two choices:
“Confess on livestream to your crime from three years ago, or, ”
“Listen to your sister's ventilator stop for good.”
The livestream is still going.
The killer is watching me through the screen.
Three hundred thousand viewers are watching me.
And, holding a scalpel, I face the camera and ask:
“If I kill the person framing me...”
“Will you testify for me?”
▶ Livestream + suspense + impossible choices
▶ One female lead, slow-burn romance
▶ Six thousand words updated daily, no missed updates
"Samples will never hurt each other." This oath engraved on the scalpel is the soul of the whole book. When the system alienates people into experimental data, the victims use their flesh and blood to defend the last bit of human dignity. Lin Che, Chen Xue, Chen Dong, Lao Zhang... Each "sample" ignited themselves in the darkness and illuminated the abyss of sin. This is not suspense, it is a war of human nature. After reading to the end, you will believe: some light must be lit with life. The logic is clear and the story is compact. It's really beautiful.
