In the seventh year since the supernatural revival began, Lin Yan, the night-shift administrator at Linjiang Third Hospital, woke up in the morgue.
He was supposed to die seven days later.
Because a death certificate dated July 24 was resting on his chest.
Even stranger, an identical version of himself lay inside Locker 17, which had been out of use for years.
Future Lin Yan called and told him: In six minutes, the thing outside the door will come in. Take the death certificate. Don't let Su Wan see you.
But just after Lin Yan escaped into a nonexistent third basement level, he discovered that he had already died once, seven years ago.
His mother may have sewn him back into reality with her own hands. His father had become a faceless corpse, and the files of the Bureau of Anomaly Management clearly recorded his six deaths.
Can he live to see seven days from now this time?
Or is the “life” he thinks he has merely an echo left behind by some strange phenomenon?
