When the bell strikes twelve, the dance of the dead is about to begin...
A sudden rainstorm during the summer vacation trapped four teenagers and a mysterious golden retriever "Lightning" in the deep mountain wilderness. In order to seek shelter, they broke into a ruins that was considered taboo by the locals - Evening Bell Manor. This gorgeous old Victorian house is rumored to be the cursed place where the Graves family was mysteriously wiped out decades ago. Every midnight, the bell tower will automatically chime, the sound of ghostly dancing footsteps can be heard in the empty banquet hall, and the twins in the portraits smile slyly...
The curious Zuo Lingxi, the calm and wise Yu Lingche, the courageous Zhang Xingyan and the mechanically proficient Wang Xuanshu were forced to spend the night in this "living ghost house". However, when the clock strikes midnight, the ancient house wakes up: puppets wandering in the corridors, reflections in the mirror reaching out to them, and shrill cries coming from the basement. What's even more frightening is that they discover that they are not the only "guest" - a "gravekeeper" wearing a porcelain doll mask is manipulating the death mechanism of the ancient house and hunting intruders... In order to uncover the truth behind the bell, the adventure team must: decipher the deadly code in the clock tower's gear chamber;
See through the hallucination trap of the Ghost Ball;
Face the curse of blood and tears of the twin portraits;
Find a way out between moving walls and collapsing floors!
And when they discover an ancient astronomical instrument pointing toward the stars deep in the attic, even more shocking secrets emerge: a "meteorite fragment" containing unknown energy, a huge organization called the "Shadow Association", and the last clue left by Wang Xuanshu's father before his disappearance - all the answers are hidden in Lightning's collar emblem.
The twelfth bell of midnight is about to ring——
Becoming a sacrifice at the Ball of the Dead?
Or tear through the century-old disguise of the ancient house?
