Shen Lu, a sleep tester at a haunted house, took on an ordinary task - to stay in Room 1404 of Victoria Apartments for three nights and videotape the whole process to determine whether the house was "clean".
On the first night of my stay, a yellow post-it note appeared on the kitchen door frame with a line of words written on it:
"The first rule: you must kiss him once every night before twelve o'clock. Otherwise he will start sharpening his knife."
Shen Lu thought it was a prank.
Then the sound of sharpening knives really came from the kitchen.
The sliding door opened, and a man in a white T-shirt stood at the door. He looked at her with amber eyes and his tone was as calm as if he was talking about today's weather:
"Four minutes left. If you don't kiss me, I'm going to sharpen my knife."
"It's not me threatening you, it's the rules."
Later, Shen Lu learned that his name was Jiang Du, and he died in this apartment three years ago. He was the first tenant and the first person to die.
And every time she kissed him, he could exist for another twenty-four hours.
——And the real rule of this house has never been to trap him.
To trap the thing that killed him.
