The Guanghe Opera Troupe has an iron rule: no gongs are played at midnight.
Because the scene at zero o'clock was not staged for people to watch.
When Lin Nian woke up, he was standing in front of an abandoned stage of the Republic of China. The gong has sounded and the show has begun.
Her teammates told her: The last team that entered this dungeon died at the third fold.
And their bodies were sitting in the audience.
The play is still going on. They're still listening.
