Xiaoxia, a newly hired security guard, was suddenly transferred to the midnight surveillance room and took over the job that even her colleagues avoided. After joining the company, he encountered bizarre incidents such as surveillance footage disappearing for no reason, mysterious messages appearing in the duty log, and strange smiles reflected in the mirror. When he followed the clues and tried to uncover the truth, he discovered the secret of the photo taken thirty-six years ago and the terrifying reincarnation. The moment the surveillance screen lit up, Xiaoxia finally understood that she had become the next victim of this eternal night curse - every midnight watch was a countdown to the abyss.
Concept: The novel takes the terrifying reincarnation in the midnight control room as its core, and its concept can be interpreted from multiple dimensions: the surface level uses horror elements to reveal human beings' instinctive fear of the unknown darkness, and the courage to explore the truth in desperate situations; the middle level uses the never-ending cycle of on-duty duty as a metaphor for the plight of individuals being alienated in the modern workplace - Forced to accept unreasonable work arrangements, they gradually lose self-control under high pressure and unknown risks; the deeper part uses a curse that spans thirty-six years to reflect the entanglement of historical evils in the present, warning people to face the past and break the cycle, otherwise they will be trapped in the quagmire of fate forever and endure the dual torture of mental and sexual abuse.
