The Midnight Files

At midnight, a frequency that should not exist begins broadcasting. Shen Ye hosts the late-night radio show Midnight Stories. Five years ago, his younger sister, Shen Xing, vanished without a trace. He has stayed by the airwaves, waiting for a call. What comes is a call that should not exist: “I killed someone, but he was alive again the next day.” From then on, the city's dark side is peeled back layer by layer: the photos of people who were “erased” cover the walls of a vanished floor; the reflection in the mirror moves before its owner; and an organization called “Echo” asks the deadliest questions in a gentle voice: “What do you most want to forget?” Fang Yuan thought forgetting would let him start over, but he only ended up right back where he began. Lu Xiaoman thought her brother had merely disappeared, only to find that even his very “existence” had been erased. Lin Ran thought she was herself, only to have even the mirror deny her. And when Shen Ye finally finds Shen Xing, she is no victim. She is a guardian. She traded five years of freedom for every “lucky” turn of events in his life. He thought he had spent those five years waiting. In truth, she was waiting for him to make a choice.
