On the first day after moving into a haunted house that rents for just 300 a month, Wei Mo hears three knocks at the door, coming from inside the wall.
Every tenant in the building is waiting for him to become its newest ghost. Instead, he draws a forbidden formation inside the apartment, silencing the entire floor’s ghostly domain.
All twelve households are nonhuman, and every one of them wants him to join their ranks. But Wei Mo can not only sense the final seven seconds of the dead, he can also touch the secrets they kept in life.
The living move out overnight, ghosts kneel and beg him to help them pass on, and the property manager gets down on his knees and asks him to collect the rent. Wei Mo simply throws open the door: Those who want to leave, line up. Those who want to die, make an appointment.
