"Attention, the train doors are about to close. This train travels in one direction only. There is no final stop and no return ticket."
At midnight, the last train slowly pulled into Nancheng Station. The chosen passengers boarded one by one, none of them knowing why they had ended up there.
There were only three rules for passengers:
First: Complete the mission and receive a reward.
Second: Fail or break a rule, and you'll be punished immediately.
Third: You cannot get off midway. Passengers can only clear the trials or die.
Jian He was eighteen. That summer, after finishing her college entrance exams, she had planned to go hiking in the mountains with her friends, but got separated from the group along the way.
When she opened her eyes again, she and her friends were standing aboard this train to hell.
The trials grew harder, the rewards more tempting, and the punishments more brutal. Could they hold out until the end?
She wanted to eat her fill and sleep in a sleeper car. Most of all, she wanted to make it home alive with her friends.
