[Strange stories about rules + strange recovery + strong women + community survival + warm group portraits]
Six years after my mother disappeared, she paid a property fee for me.
At midnight, a warning popped up from the Nanpu Jiuyuan property system:
[An empty room does not mean an empty room. If the vacancy rate exceeds 7%, vacant rooms will be actively rented. Rent: a common name; Deposit: three experiences that are truly remembered.
When property manager Jiang Mingtang arrived at Building 4, the entire fourth floor of the building had disappeared.
And her mother, who had been missing for six years, was standing behind Gate 404, smiling at her:
"Mingtang, give me the household registration. Mom will take you home."
Only then did she realize that the so-called empty room was not a monster.
They are all people who have been "sorted out" by the city and completely forgotten by their relatives and friends.
If you want to save people, you have to re-register their names, addresses, and three memories; but with every additional name you remember, Jiang Mingtang's body becomes more like a corridor leading to countless doors.
When his mother became the new landlord of the community, and when the system marked her as an "abnormal memory source," Jiang Mingtang could only take two thousand residents and report their names one by one at midnight.
Because the person who answers incorrectly will become the next vacant room.
It's very curious and engaging.
