Global Hauntings: My Shadow Is Alive

[Mystery and wild theories + supernatural horror + terrifying instances + high-stakes counterattacks]

At 3:17 a.m., a blood-red countdown appeared on phones around the world.

Lin Wei was pulled into the "Death Roll Call" instance. The teacher in the classroom had no face, and the words written on the desks said, "Don't answer the questions."

She cleared it. But then she discovered that she shouldn't be alive at all.

Every truth she brought back was hidden in the water. Her sister, in her memories, had died in 1997. Her uncle was waiting for her in their old house beneath the water. Even her teammates might not be human.

Worse still, the shadow beneath her feet began to think for itself.

It would help her. It would betray her. And at night, it would quietly rise to its feet and stand by her bed, watching her.
