“The chat is law, and the top-ranked viewer is the King of Hell. The day I died at my desk, my PowerPoint still had three slides left to fix. When I opened my eyes again, I was bound to Underworld TV. If the view count hits zero, my soul is destroyed. There are no living people in the livestream chat, only the King of Hell and the Judges of the Underworld. My boss stole my performance bonus? The chat says: He was born without a shred of decency. The next day, Zhao Youde was taken away. Then the chat sent another message: ‘Keep streaming. Don't stop.’ Only later did I learn that the person who sent it was my father, dead for fifteen years. Six haunted buildings, six teams, six lives. I spent 27 years alive as a timid pushover, then came out swinging for 27 days after I died.”
