My name is Lin Ye, I am 23 years old. I am too poor to pay the rent, so I took a job as a sleeper in a haunted house with a daily payment of 2,000 yuan.
There are three rules in this business: after 12 midnight, no matter what you hear, don't open the door. If someone calls your name, don't say yes. No matter what happens behind you, you absolutely, absolutely cannot look back.
But I turned back. I opened the door. I saw——
The woman in red who had been waiting for five years in 404, the thirty-seven souls who were burned to death in the ghost tower, and the lamp at the bottom of the lake that had been lit for her son for twenty-five years. Every "vindictive spirit" does not intend to harm anyone. They are waiting. Wait for someone and take one last look for them. Wait for someone and pick their name out of the mirror. Wait for someone to put the evidence they left behind with their lives into the file that should be opened.
My name is Lin Ye, a sleep tester in a haunted house.
—I file for the dead.
