Lin Zhiyi moved into No. 404, The cheapest apartment in the city.
The landlord did not show up when signing the contract. He only slipped a key and a note from the crack of the door: "Don't turn on the lights at night, don't look in the mirror, and don't ask who your neighbors are."
She thought it was a prank.
Until the first night, she heard the sound of typing coming from the wall - there lived a book spirit next door who could only communicate through words; at three o'clock in the morning, liquid that was not water at all dripped from the ceiling - there lived a rain girl who was always crying upstairs; when she opened the refrigerator, there was a box of strawberry milk that was not bought by her at all - there was a greedy snow monster cub living in the refrigerator.
And every morning, she found that the slippers at the door were neatly arranged, and the floor was mopped so that a figure could be seen - the landlord who had never shown up had done everything with his shadow while she was sleeping.
"What... Are you?" She finally summoned the courage to ask.
In the darkness, a vague outline slowly rose from her shadow, and her voice was as low as coming from the ground:
"You finally see me."
——This is an apartment that houses all non-human beings who have nowhere to go. And you are the first human being No. 404 Who is willing to see them.
